It's quite high mileage, 230k km if i remember correctly. Was an Irish import. Gearbox serviced with new oil and filter every 60k. I had receipts for everything that was ever done to it, which was always at a VW dealer in Dublin. It was only used for motorway miles between Dublin and Belfast until I bought it and brought it to Scotland where it managed a couple of months before breaking one of the timing chains, the one doing the left bank.
Since then it has sat in my workshop for three years untouched while other projects have taken precedence.
I'd love to keep it and get it fixed but per original post matters have been taken out of my hands unfortunately.
I'm currently getting quotes from scrappies but it might still go on eBay with a starting bid of whatever the scrappy quotes and no reserve as it needs to go.
