Who knows a good diesel mechanic? I have two pre-tdi diesel Volkswagen Jettas, one with a good engine and one with a good body. I need to find someone who can swap them for me. I'd prefer to give the work to a redditor of course, but really just need my car to work.
It should be pretty easy for someone who knows what they're doing. They're both the 1.6 L N/A VW diesel, super simple engine. I'm hoping to do this at around 300, maybe 400 bucks.
Thanks!

Good luck! I'm sure someone with the experience that wanted some extra money could probably do it for that as long as you had all the parts needed. I've helped with a few swaps but I don't feel comfortable at all promising to be able to do a swap myself. :p If you end up going to a shop, [SK Motorsport does good engine swaps](http://www.skmotorsport.com). They're a bit out of your budget I would guess though. You could always give them a call though if you don't get a response soon and see. I've seen some of the swaps they've done and they are pretty damn nice. Again though that might mean they are way out of your price range.
