Hello one and all

I have a 06 1.8t avant and its developed the low oil pressure warning and the engine is making an awful racket. The car is no longer in use and im resigned to the knowledge its going to be costly

I have found many engine re builders/ re conditioners which look decent outfits with proffessional looking websites etc etc but when I do a bit of digging there is endless unhappy customers on the web stating terrible experiences they have suffered with them...cars not being fixed properly, not on time, prices going way above the original quote etc

I would say the car is worth about £5500 in good running order these days so I dont want to throw 1000's at it

If there is any others on here who have had a similar problem, what did you end up doing??

Im toying with buying a secondhand engine from a damaged car and trust to luck, these garages are having me nervous!

If anyone has replaced their engines, what options is there? Will the 2.0t version go in as a direct replacement, or must it be a 1.8 from the same year??

Sorry for the long winded post, hopefully someone can advise

Many thanks in advance, Darren
