Insurance, 2.0l bottm end

Hi

I know a few of you guys have had 2.0l bottom ends put onto your Mk2's, i am planning on having this done to mine, (8v GTi) how much did your insurance go up by when you declared this. I am nearly 25, with 4 years no claims so am not expecting a massive jump , just some sort of idea would be great!

Thanks guys

 

dont tell them, they will never find out

 

......until you crash and they look at the car and spec....

 

is there any visual differences beetween a 1.8 and a 2.0 then ?

 

Yup, engine numbers...............

 

They have breathers on the front face of the block too.

my insurance went down by a few quid. I admitted to all my mods as well from big brakes to stupid exhaust.

 

Remember ANYTHING that isnt declared to the insurance company, especially performance enhancing mods, will void the policy in the event of a claim, end of..........

Insurance that goes down , who are you with?!?!

 

well.. depends if they notice

 

I would rather declare it, if anything did happen i wouldn't want to be left in a situation where i "hoped" they didn't notice [:^(]

 

Exactly...........

 

the big 2.0 on the block would give em a clue

 

Was just about to say.. VW's havd engine size cast into them..

My insurance went up #70. But that was going from 1.8 8v to 2.0 16v.

 

Is there much more work involved going from 1.8 8v to 2.0 16v, rather than to 2.0l 8v . With mine being a 90 spec i have got digipants!

I went to HIC from some other bunch after I modified the car as the old lot didnt like mods, HIC were cheaper than the other crooks, and all my mods are listed and I have an agreed value too! Limited mileage isnt a prob too as I dont go so far.

 

GTi69....

Digipants eh!!

Mines a 2L 8v dig......265 TPFT with HIC!

 

mine wanteds an extra 36!

 

mine went down due to a new bottom end!
