Where To Buy Engine Parts? And What To Buy?

Recommended Posts

Kevin s

I have a bog standard 1.9 GTI engine and gearbox to overhaul, and was looking for some help with sourcing parts. I'm fairly sure there is nothing major wrong, But I have the engine out to paint the car so will do it for the craic (I used to be a mechanic and miss that kind of thing). I plan to replace all the usual suspects seals, gaskets, shell bearings, piston rings etc.

 

Should I steer clear of aftermarket parts and try and stick with OEM?

 

Is there sutch a thing as a rebuild kit containing all of the above, or do the parts have to be bought seperatly?

 

Finaly where is the best place to be sourcing this kind of stuff, Peugoet? Or are there cheaper alternitives?

All parts can be sourced from any good engine reconditioners or motor factors.

 

A head gasket set can be bought with all gaskets for the top end & headbolts or afaik there is a full engine rebuild gasket kit but go for trusted known name brands imo.

 

Bearings etc have to bought separately from that kit but any decent motor factors or engine reconditioners can get them for about the same price.
