I have been looking for an engine for a few months now, found one yesterday and the breakers have noticed a crack on a mounting point. They have offered money off (£50) but my question is ….. is it actually fixable or not. Has any experience with this and been repairs successfully ? CXXB engine cost £1600. From Audi a3. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Meant to add my car is our family car used daily , done approx 110k miles.

I have a Skoda Octavia mrk3 65 plate 2016. 1.6 TDI 81kw 5E. Car is running like a tractor, couple of garages have looked at the car and said need new engine. So my question is, our engine code is CXXB And after some research I’ve seen that we could swap it out for an engine from a vw golf mrk7. Has anyone successfully done this? Octavia engine code says CXXB 5E / Golf says CXXB 5G , what does the 5E/5G mean? Would it cause problems? Garage is suggesting a golf engine as a lot of Skoda Octavia’s have been taxis and might not be a great choice. Added a video of car incase anyone’s had this issue? I had a guy on fb marketplace yesterday trying sell me an engine and gave me false info on reg engine came out of, total scammer. If I hadn’t questioned him, I could have easily been out of pocket to the tune of £1,800. Any help would be greatly appreciated, female in need of honest help. IMG_7831.movIMG_7831.movCheers
