Just read this whole thing... Makes me sad. The caveat of owning a rare car.

Thanks... Yeah It's tough. Sleep has not been going well with wondering what is gonna happen.

I did find a twin Lava Grey 3.2 in Vancouver. But actually a guy in Montreal has a 2009 Ibis White Facelift 3.2 - Speaking of rare, only 50 or so 3.2's were sold as facelifts in 2009 in Canada. haha His has some nice work done to it too, but he isn't selling til fall.

I am getting ahead of myself though, they may very well fix it. Or give me a low ball buyout and Ill be fucked.

The amount of force that would require is crazy.

Well cast iron block... they can be brittle - know a few people who have put holes through them... one with a hammer.

Waiting on decision to write off or get new engine now.

To just confirm some sort of bolt shot from outside somewhere into and through the block?

True true.

I was looking at 3.8l vr6 upgrade for my jetta and found out they also have stock blocks http://eurospecsport.com/products/en...6-engines.html

Interesting, my buddy found a bunch of rebuilt's too. But then there is the issue of time and space which I have neither.

I have seen insurance companies use used parts before if the customer allows it

Yeah but where you gonna find a used 3.2 block aside from a written off TT or rare A3..only 50 some A3's with the 3.2 were sold in Canada. Lol.

Well it's an insurance claim now due to it being Road debris . So will either be fixed or written off.

Ouch... I know just how brutal an expensive breakdown far from home can be, hope this pans out in your favour.
