I have question for those in the know...

Some will remember my 2.1 automatic engine has gasket problems and is
slowly leaking coolant.

I was considering replacing it with good used engine, I also
considered putting in a used Golf, Jetta or GTI engine in. What I
don't know is what is involved with putting these other engines in?

Does anyone have any site links that explain the process and costs?

I was only considering it as it seemed a viable option.

I can get Jetta and Golf engines in a range of $500-650 dollars. Just
wondering what other parts are needed? Does anyone have a kit for all
the parts? if so what is the cost?

Thanks for the feedback.

Also if you have a good 2.1 L engine with good compression and
recently done gaskets let me know.

Thanks.
