dont bother rebuilding it till it needs it :lol:

just wasted cash other wise :boggle:

If its had its first MOT and passed then I wouldn't go to the expense.

Might be a reason its going cheap though, ie. its failed and a rebuild needs genuine parts because aftermarket aren't so readily available and its mega money.

if the engine is that young then just the mechanical stuff

shells
pistons
rings
rod bolts gasket kit
oil pump
valves
oil stem seals
lifters
cams
valve guides
oil filter and oil:o
head bolts
turbo

How much is the car? You might yourself a bargain but the mileage will still be there when you come to sell it, and lots of people lie about re-builds etc so i'd look for a car with alot less miles tbh

thats a lot of miles for the age of the car!!

Cheers. Reason I ask is because I have seen a very cheap 2002 Zafira Gsi Turbo for sale but has 117,000 miles.

Owner says its mostly motorway miles so with a rebuild including new turbo, cams etc.. think I could get myself a bargain.

basically recon the whole engine.

shells
pistons
rings
rod bolts gasket kit
oil pump
valves
oil stem seals
lifters
cams
valve guides
oil filter and oil:o
head bolts
turbo
all hoses
DIS
plugs
leads
wiring loom

dont forget head skimming
posible rebore
crank ground

i would say if in doubt replace it.

What parts need to be replaced on a turbo engine when you are reconditioning it. Engine has nearly 120,000 miles on it.. :|
