Hello!

About a week after paying off my car, it won't start :( Doing a preliminary check, I'm not getting any engine compression. Even at 108K miles the car is worth more working than not, and I want to get it fixed.

I'm looking for recommendations of a local mechanic who will not work me over on cost but is familiar with the 2.0T TSI engine. Any suggestions? I'm in Boston / Cambridge and my car is in the South Shore currently.

Any codes? they know to jump timing? Might be a big repair? I'm familiar with them

Heading down to Braintree tomorrow to jump it and take a look at any codes. Definitely a big repair (got the engine messaging rather than a CEL last time I remember), I'll update tomorrow night.
