1.4 16v engine
Posted: Fri Aug 22, 2008 11:00 am
On account of my dad writing off my sister's Skoda Fabia, I have a 1.4 16v engine looking for a new home. Yes, I know this is a Polo site not a Skoda one - but I'm posting up here because my mechanic reliably informs me that the same engine was fitted to similar-generation Polos - and maybe someone on here is looking for a power hike? 
Most importantly, the engine is the 100bhp one - not the 75bhp unit (for some reason, Skoda made two kinds of 1.4 16v engine). It's from a 2001 car and has about 65k miles on it from memory (I can check exactly). Cambelt recently changed, oh the irony!
The car itself ate the back of a post office van at about 15mph, annoyingly that's enough to make it uneconomic to repair. Engine was untouched in the accident, so happily it will live to power another car around...
I don't know much about Skodas, or Polos (I normally tune Volvo turbos) but will do my best to answer any questions.
I'm told that the engine's a rare one - I'm looking for £600. PM me or post up here if you are interested?
Cheers...
