Our Multivan (Late 2010) has the single turbo TDI, and the other day the fan belt broke, then jumped under the timing belt and proceeded to ruin an otherwise reliable engine.
The mechanics have gone as far as to reset the timing belt and wind the engine and there is no compression, presumably the valves are now bent, and whatever else happens on these occasions.
Their quote comes in at a mind blowing $12500, for sourcing and fitting a second hand engine.
I can't afford that, what options should I consider?
I'm on the north coast, NSW, currently unemployed, and now have no means of transport. It's amazing how a simple thing can really make life hard.
Cheers
