New engine or rebuild?
The alternator belt broke and went into the engine of my 2015 Skoda Superb and locked on to the crankshaft, breaking the camshafts and rockers. 60,000miles. Should I opt for an engine rebuild or replace with a 2nd hand engine and how much will the rebuild cost approx.
Our answer:
Hi Breda,
I'm afraid it's impossible for us to assess how much of the engine needs rebuilding from afar, and the price of labour varies considerably from garage to garage as well. Nonetheless, we'd expect it to work out cheaper to get a second hand engine instead, going on your description.
