Thats why some posters are saying it seems light on the cost. Ie. if you were in a collision that resulted in serious engine and turbo damage, the bill should be much higher as a lot of other things should have been damaged.

Yeah, that was my point - even on a Golf (regardless of it being an R), $20,000 seems light to replace the engine
and cover the bodywork that would have resulted in requiring an engine replacement in a single vehicle collision.
One thought - the "accident" could have been extremely minor cosmetically, but severe enough to crack the radiator. Visually, the car could look almost fine, but if the owner then drove with no coolant and fried the engine, that might be the most plausible explanation.
