Putting a salvage motor in a 2000 Golf
A dear friend of mine didn't change the cam belt on her 2000 Golf, 2.0, so at 120K miles, it gave up the ghost. being an interference engine, it's toast.
After a local shop scammed her out of $300 by putting a new belt on only to find it doesn't spin (duh!), and then telling her they would have to pull the motor and "send it out" costing another $3000, I have signed on to putting a salvage yard motor in the car for her. She dumped $2K into it over the summer (same garage) and can't afford to walk away from it now.
How much of a pain is the job? tips, tricks, do's and don'ts?
