Hi Everyone... My wife's Volkswagen polo (2005) Engine is giving major problems, so today i went and bought one in a scrapyard, but on the existing one the coils are on the top. but in the engine i got today they are more to the side. Would this matter? Thanks In advance for any help.

you are really going to struggle to get a decent 2nd hand engine for that car , its a easy engine to rebuild only thing is generally you will need a machine shop to change the valve guides as they are usually badly worn stopping the valves seating properly.

Brill, Thanks... Wow you are not wrong About getting an engine...Still looking. Another day of ringing around tomorrow.

--On the Plus side, I got a refund for the Engine that I got from the Scrapyard

The wife's car is still going(Just) but guzzling Juice, which i guess is not Normal, Probably twice as much as It should.
