Vw tsi 2009- engine gone :( :(

Hi guys,

I signed up on here for some advice. After having a long cry and argument with my boyfriend who warned me not go get a VW I have had some bad news.

Today I found out that my engine will need replacing. I got a quote of about 7k. $5300 for the motor and $2000 for labour. Now this isn't even a reconditioned motor and is second hand.

Really not sure what to do. I love this car have looked after it and got it serviced and to be told that the timing came off the teeth and caused the timing/engine to be ruined the only way is for a replacement.

Now do I cut my losses and try and sell it or fix it and sell it down the track?? Either way I am loosing about 8k. I bought for 12k two years ago. Very upsetting as you can imagine its not even that old and isn't under warranty nor would my insure cover any cost.
