    OP I bought a 2010 Polo with 110k miles for €1,300 with the same issue as yours. I bought a replacement 2012 engine with 50k miles for €900 and had it fitted for €300. I also put a new timing chain on the replacement engine and changed the oil, the mechanic didn’t charge me for labour for that because the engine was already out of the car, so that was another €250 for parts I think. So about €1,500 or so all in.

    OP this is still your best option

    The independent mechanic has quoted me something similar - but a 10 engine, so think your right - thinks it's the best option & new timing chain on it.

    Thanks so much!
