Sold my PD100 base engine (no box, clutch etc) to a bloke from Swansea last week.... Said he wanted it to put in his PD115 Ford Galaxy, which unbeknown to me, used the same engine! :confused:

I wasn't sure it would work but I got a text saying its running fine now! His gearbox, his sump,

Can't you ask the purchaser to pop down and help out with your new engine?

How's progress on it now?

Yeah, Ford Galaxy was exactly the same as VW Sharan/SEAT Alhambra.

PD100 & PD115 are the same engine.

crap mate! :( Didn't touch it all weekend.

Waiting for an internal loom to come and then its an ENTIRE re-wire of the dashboard, etc. Gonna be fun!

:eek:

God dude, you should have just bought a vRS. With all the time spent on it you're spending much more than 12000 pounds! I mean if you were stickin' a v6 inside I would say okay, but you're up for a >30bhp block over the one you had!

I wish you luck man.

Its starting to reach the point where a second hand vRS would have been affordable, but I still don't care. Labour isn't a factor anyway, as its being done DIY style a little.

I agree though, the block is only +30bhp, but the bits on it will take it up & beyond that.

Also the fact of saying you actually built the car etc. is a great factor!

You don't know how much of a plus point that is. Got me feeling like I'm doing a kit car.

Hope it won't need to go through any SVA ****** once its done.
