Howdy Volks,

The motor in my '87 is almost dead (shims behind the rear main seal are
eating away at the case) and the mechanic quoted me $5k for a
replacement.  I was wondering what others have paid for a 2.1 long-block
and labor.  Any recommendations on VW shops in San Diego, CA?

I haven't decided if I'm going to replace the motor or sell/donate it.
Anyone interested in an '87 Wolfburg Ed. for cheap? (email me off list)

Thanks,
Sebastian Hill
