So the mechanics who did a TB change on my car messed up and now my head is toast (valves at least).
I'm not sure if it worth putting a new head on even if the bottom end checks out to be good.
I have a 2002 Jetta 5 speed with approximately 300,000 miles on the car.
It is in rough shape inside and out. it would now just be for local commute.
it has a new 11mm IP and new sprint 520 injectors and nozzles and a new 100,000 miles TB.
how much does a used complete head cost?
If this was you guys, would you be looking for another car or try to fix it?
If I did throw in the towel on this car, how much round-about could I get for the IP (brand new from idparts with receipt about 100 miles on it) and brand new injector bodies and nozzles from kermatdi (mounted and calibrated by them, also with receipt less than 1 mile on them).
Apparently the rest of the car is only worth $100 to my local scrapyard.
