My car had 62k on it when it happened.

Did you have a VR6 GTI?? I've had a GTI VR6, Mk 4 R32, and a TT VR6 with zero problems. My GTI was supercharged and I drove it to 140k and sold it getting 8 grand easily.
My R32 was the body style before that one and was a stick! They only offered that model with the DSG tranny. The VR6 engine is pretty bullit proof!
Depending on year model most GTIs were 1.8t or 2.0t powered.
