I broke the timing belt on my GTI. Took it to the shop and they wanted to charge me like $150 for each valve that needed to be replaced.(The Mk IV GTI has titanium valves so they bend before they poke holes in the pistons.) I went home and found a brand new whole head assy (valves, cams, the works) for 300 bucks. Asked him if I could just supply a new head and he said no problem but of course no warranty. He charged me $300. Turned out 19 of the 20 valves were bent.
So, it's worth a try.
