New boy with a dilema!

Hi folks, new to all of this so be gentle!

rite, here we go, i bought a 1.3 Polo Coupe last Sat, 1 prev owner with only 76k... i've drove 160 miles in it and the cylinder heads gone on it already!

i've been hearing all these suggestions from my mates about taking it to get fixed at a garaged and then other mates telling me to just fit a new engine, i'm gettin a bit

with it all tbh!

so what i wana know is how easy is it to fit a new engine into the Polo and (just hypothosising here) would it be possible (and relatively trouble-free) if i were to fit, for example a MK III Golf GTi engine to it instead or would i have to stick to the Polo engine??

Let me know with ur suggestions as it would be extremely helpful

stick to polo engines golf and ibiza gti engines wont fit without major work and very deep pockets.
consider using a polo 16v engine instead, much less hassle

Cheers mate will defo consider it for the future, for the time being though i've managed to find someone who'll fix it for me for a reasonable price so i should be back on the rd in no time!

Or you could do a abd engine which is a mk3 1.4 golf engine this fits straight in or you can do the aee conversion too
