I have family who have a breakers yard for audis + vw's in nottingham and have a specalist garage for VAG cars so i managed to get hold of another engine with turbo for 400 quid with only 90k on clock.. supposed to be a good engine.. now i hope this gets back up and running then im looking to flog it..ive only had the car for a week and this week has been the worst ever. :undecided:

I would get someone to check further, if it starts then it is not seized, you may have got away without causing damage.
