Hello this is my first thread and unfortunately not off to a great start. 1st golf mk5 got crashed, bought another one and it has started miss firing. One cylinder has low pressure. The millage is 126k so not worth fixing unless I can get it done for cheap. I am stuck with 2 cars out side. One half dead and one dead.
So I'm trying to find the cheapest option for now but best end result as I want to keep/do a project (always wanted a golf)
Option 1: fix amend engine.
2: engine swap
3: other recommendations
Oh it's a 1.6 fsi :ashamed: insurance is to high for me. Also if I do a engine swap for something bigger 1.8 for example I won't be telling my insurance. My 1st golf accident was not mentioned to my insurance.... please don't shout lol, I pay the punishment for my actions.
Thanks in advanced
