Re: Multiple Issues with 1.4 TSI

My time with the roc has come to a premature end. VW are still investigating the failings and the connection between the lambda probe failures and total engine failure. I never paid the £700 - £1k diagnostic to see what was going on with the engine and opted for a switch over to a wee Audi as it was...

Re: Multiple Issues with 1.4 TSI

Turns out my engine is goosed! Getting the usual quote of £6k for a new one.... gut wrenching. Luckily I have managed to exchange for a wee Audi.

Absolute nightmare, as I have only purchased c8months ago and had so many issues with the roc. All do note, the early warn...

Re: Multiple Issues with 1.4 TSI

Just spoke to the tech, looking at £700 for investigation and probable cylinder change, could be a bill of up to £2k...

Multiple Issues with 1.4 TSI
