GTI engine or wrecker advice - Western Australia
Hello,
My 2010 GTI has had a timing belt failure and damaged the cams. Spent $2K so far on diagnosis (taking engine apart) and they have said:
- Top cover if repairable (another $300 to assess) will cost $9K to fix
- But engine has corrosion from coolant spilling, and that will also cost up to about $9K (some parts duplicated from the top cover fix)
Or I could get a brand new engine for $16K plus labour, or a refurbed engine for I think it was $12K plus labour
I am thinking it is just sadly scrap value now, and wondering if anyone can give advice as to who might take the car for its parts in WA and what to expect value wise?
It is in pretty good condition (only 160 thousand KM) apart from the engine.
Thanks for any advice.
