My uncle's looking for a turn-key rebuilt 2.1 for his '89 Westy. His mechanic
has quoted him $3500 CDN exchange (+labour) for one, which he thought
was a VW reman. Are they still doing these at VW? I thought $3500 CDN
sounded pretty fair if it really a VW rebuild. Any thoughts or other options in
Canada? He drives it a lot (van has nearly 600k kms), so wants something
that will last. I had good luck with my VW reman 2.1L, which ran strong for
14 years and 220k kms (and no leaks!).
