Same situation with me really. Loved my MK3 and searched for ages to get one with the right spec, colour and with low mileage. Bought one that only had one previous owner at two years old and the knowledge that the Head Gasket FSA had been done. Fast forward a year and the first service under my ownership, only to find oil leaks. Had to have the engine pulled apart again and have the revised recall done. When I got the car back, the battery cover was broken, so god knows what ever else they broke. The car was fine for the rest of my three year ownership, but I always had anxiety thinking when’s the oil going to start leaking again. When I was offered more or less what I paid for it three years on, decided to let it go. Now driving a lovely Mercedes A35 AMG and love it.
There is good cars out there, mine was snapped up in no time at all, good luck with your search.
