My 2010 Mk6 Golf GTI manual packed it in, last week, drove home fine then a few days later it just wouldn't start. Took it to local independent VW mechanic and looks like it will cost almost as much what it is worth to repair it. I already have a new car was already planning on selling it. Timing chain issue has meant full engine rebuild and then extras to get it roadworthy. It seems a shame just to sell it for scrap and don't need the money urgently. Anybody had any experience with this? Interior is in very good condition for age, exterior minor car park scrapes.
