Sorry but I can't help on the engine but just so you know a 1.6, or 1.8 will also fit straight into your car. VW used the 1.6 and 1.8 in the Mk2 golf's, mk1 and mk2 Scirocco and Jetta as well so it may widen your search.
 

i have 2x 1.8 gti dx engines here in cornwall for sale

Thanks for the advice guys but really trying to keep it standard. I suppose i will have to if no joy with locating a motor!

STILL DESPERATELY SEEKING A GOOD 1.5 ENGINE IF ANYONE CAN HELP!?

whip the head off and take it to a local machine shop/engineering firm to have it skimmed and tested. refit with new gasket set. cant get any more original than that

Also you will need new Head bolts.  Also there are head stud kits which are re-usable unlike head bolts.

Thanks for the comments guys. I had been considering it but i cook the hell out of it and now its got a few new noises and lord knows what the bores look like.

well it'll cost nothing to have the head off for a look, generally its just the head that wants looking at. local place will be able to look at it and tell you if its worth saving before you spend any money I'm sure
