how much will you charge me to fix the motor

Honestly, junkyard engines can be had for $400-1400, but the diesel heads are gold for some reason. IMO it'd be pretty cheap to throw in a 1.8T with a 5 speed manual, but with that kind of work it wouldn't be worth it.

his intake has some carbon build up thats on the fix list, some electrical problems (after all its a VAG product), but everything else pretty good. I wish it had a timing chain instead of a belt. He has about 150K and still gets 40+MPG highway. We're using our MB E300 more now that diesel is about 25 cents less than regular (but wait until winter- about same as premium). Diesel fuel has been bouncing around more than it ever did- I'm hoping but not holding my breath for some nice new diesels. Our E300 was less than an E320 when we bought it, the TDI was more than the 1.8. I think we're going to have to bend over to buy a diesel until supply catches up to demand.

I have a buddy that works @ one, and just trades them out for me. It'll feel like it added 30-40 hp when you do it. Last TDI I did that to, had carbon build up so much that the air passage was almost the size of a pencil.
