    I don't know what it costs to rebuild it but Festiva Motorsport sells new engines for $1600 shipped.

        It would be a good time to upgrade to a B6! It bolts right in place of a B3! Just another option.

                I thrashed my B6 all day long with the 180K trans and original clutch... no problems... at least till I broke the motor For the past 3000 miles the tranny (which now has 188K on it) has been hanging just fine with my BP swap (brand new clutch though)

                        do you know any online sources that would provide a large amount of for sale parts at reasonable prices?

                              Would u say rock-auto's remanufactured fuel injectors would last a good long time? or is it better to go with the full priced ones?
