Engine conversion specialist- advise please

Hi Folks,

Nearly got rid of the Golf last month, but have decided to hang on to it and make it a bit more suitable to our needs. That means modern mechanicals as the wife isn't keen on the rattley old/rusty/noisy engine, brakes, steering etc.!

I'm pricing up having the engine swaped in the Sportline for something newer and more reliable, not bothered about outright power so considering a non-turbo engine from the recent VAG line up, or perhaps a 1.8T 150bhp. Needs to be quiet (!) fuel efficient, and stock.

The work is way beyond what I can manage so I've been researching professional options, but the quotes I've been getting have been around the ?7k mark!

Can anyone recomend someone a bit more reasonably priced pleased? I'm in Edinburgh but will travel the UK for the right company/person.

You wont find anyone reasonably priced. Ive been been looking for quotes for weeks and 7k is about right

have you tried bedrock vw in motherwell or starpreformance m8

That's what I was worried about.
