Re: New engine

Result! VW have now come back with a 50% goodwill position. Seems talking to a person instead of a computer has made a difference.

Re: New engine

Blower- 2010. VW saying accelerated wear caused by injecting of fuel into engine. Misfiring leading to compression issues then cylinder wear. But only sign was EMS coming on after having no warning at all

Re: New engine

Agreed, but I think they believe its our fault. Purchased from a non-VW dealer and not in warranty. Apparently no offer of goodwill from VW either.
This after needing to pay £500 just to get the car back in bits!

New engine

Hi,
newbie here. Looks like we have to find a replacement engine for a 1.4 TSI 160. Anyone got any recommendations for used/reconditioned engine suppliers?

VW don't want to know. Car is 4 years and replacement estimate is £6k!!
