Thanks for the info. Unrelated - but just for general interest - a mate of mine has (had, until few weeks ago) a Mk8 GTi that he bought new year or so ago; sump damage - presumed result of speed bump or similar, but he wasn't aware of anything obvious - caused engine failure and insurers preferred to pay out in full rather than repair; mad.
Insurers seem unfathomably keen on writing cars off nowadays. No wonder insurance premiums are skyrocketing
