Rex Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Seems my car wants to burn oil and get oil on the spark plugs. I've been told this means a new engine or a re-build, neither of which I have the money for.Not sure what to do with the car, whether to scrap it, break it or take a baseball bat to everything, considering the time and effort me and others have put into it.Any suggestions for my little MK1, 1.4 Arosa?

James827 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 cant you buy another MK1 with a good engine and just swap over the Panels or the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Big cost of putting another engine in, surely?I've not got the money for testing it and playing about. :\ Wish I knew more about engines though haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 surely it shouldn't cost too much to get it compression tested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Never even heard of that before but I guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 go ask, it might determine how much work has to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
