Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a used '02 Passat w/ 108k miles on a 1.8T engine where the timing belt broke on the freeway. I understand that there is a chance -- however small -- that the whole engine may need to be replaced. I'd like to be prepared for the worst-case-scenario. How much would that cost, roughly? I'd have it done professionally, we we're talking parts & labor. I'd be open to getting either a used or rebuilt engine.
Do you have any recommendations for places to get a used or a rebuilt engine? (I'm in Southern California).
Thanks.
