cl0ud Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hey guys, I wanted to pick your brain on something. if you had a problem with your engine and needed to change it. Would you opt for a used engine or a reconditioned engine as replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodkat Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Recon if I had the money to do so, one which has been reconditioned by a reputable company using Ford parts, and a warranty to boot. Depends on the car really, if it is a shed that is imminently going to give up anyway, I'd just get another snotter. If it is a car that owes money but not bothered about too much, a used engine, but if it is a pride and joy motor then recon unit all the way.

WES180 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I had to change the engine years ago in my 309 GTi and was lucky enough to source a brand new one, not recon for a great price. Check out eBay as sometimes engines with only delivery miles pop up on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 done this a few times now (not any of my cars), I always just go with a good used engine - the cost of recon engines is extortionate and really, are they any better? If an engine is in good health then why mess about with it and potentially create a future problem. Certain engines ok, a recon would be beneficial but as for throw away engines of today then I would strongly disagree that they are a benefit to recon.
