Re: CU Aircooled engine conditioned- recommendations
Hi losing oil from oil cooler, push rods, cam shaft. Breathing very heavy poss piston ring or head gone. So not sure if rebuild or exchange a better job.
Heard in the past some recons not good so after good feedback on recons or somewhere in the north west do a good job on rebuild.

Re: CU Aircooled engine conditioned- recommendations
Hi, I ended up paying top dollar for a full rebuild with quality parts for our 2.0 cu. I could get any guarantees that the recons I could buy wouldn't be built with sub standard or used parts. It's a minefield. Mine was re built over two years ago. I've been into europe twice one of the trips did over 3500 miles without any problems at all. As I said costly but if your in it for the long term then its well worth while!

I use a garage on the south coast VW Werks.
Not exactly local to you, but the owner Doug knows his stuff and is a top bloke as well.

Try Paul Weeding on here. I've never had any work done by by him, but he was helpful & knowledgeable on one of my first posts on here
