Has anyone replaced their engine? I have a friend in Germany who is a member of a 'b' club, he recently had to replace his engine. I asked if he used an HGT engine or one off fleabay and he said he had used a Fiat Bravo/Marea 1.8 engine. This is quoted as having 113bhp but produces 11kW more..at this point he kinda lost me! Fitting the engine also meant a change to engine fitting and oil pan but he (thankfully) didn't go into too much detail. His english is not bad but I think we would both have struggled with more detail. If I'm correct this engine doesn't suffer from the variator issues so common in the blessed 'b'.
This is just some info to share with the forum in case anyone is in this situation in the future. Perhaps there are better or cheaper alternatives but obviously that is open for discussion. I could find out more if anyone needed the extra info but just remember it may be in german!
