Thanks buddy! Take care

After having my 60 plate 1.4tsi for only 7 months I have had no end of trouble including the dreaded misfires which ended up needing a full engine rebuild, various engine management light pop ups and the constant worry of what's going to go wrong next. After all that I have decided to trade it in, I...

I have mentioned the pack to my machanic I'm just awaiting a phone call with a price. What are the rough estimates for this job? So I have an idea. Cheers

My mechanic has seen a few failures in the 1.4 tsi which resulted in complete engine failure. I'll be replacing mine ASAP

Waiting for a phone call to get it booked in for a replacement, better to be safe than sorry

Thanks for that Blower! Mines exactly the same as the cam shaft noise in the video. Would you still advise the tensioner upgrade on my 60 plate 1.4tsi for peace of mind?

I've got a 1.4 tsi, after reading this I've had say 3-4 cold starts where I heard a slight rattle for 1-2 seconds and ignored it could this be my chain? I'm pretty doubtful it is but this post made me wonder slightly. Engine was rebuilt about 2-3 months ago due to the old misfire nightmare so I can'...

I had the drivers side headlight go today, got the usual light up on the dash, so I changed the bulb to no avail still wasn't working. I swapped the bulb and adapter over from the passenger side to double check it wasn't the light itself and the light worked with the passenger side fitting so I chec...

Yeah I was worried about the same thing buddy, if they're putting an identical engine in then surely this problem could happen once again, but if the engine is 2011+ then I think the piston problem was resolved from them engines if I'm correct? You'll have to see what engine is going in and if it's ...

Sorry to hear this mate, mine went at 62000 60 plate aswell so it's almost identical to mine, the garage I got the car from did sort the problem but they weren't too keen on it. Hopefully you get it sorted mate and make sure they replace all 4 not just the 2 which are knackered, the garage originall...

Hi mate, sorry to hear about this! I know what you're going through I was fobbed off with a coil pack at first but I knew there was something wrong when my car wouldn't idle without feeling it was going to stall, I had a compression test done twice once by the garage and another by a friend, both we...

Yeah I'd had a tyre changed a few weeks back looked like it was that one for some reason, all fine now and reset the light in the dash. Cheers mate

Im looking at fitting some reversing sensors on my 60 scirocco, I'm not too fussed about the genuine sensors hooking up to my dash screen just some basic beeping ones really. I was wondering if anybody had done this themselves with some pics maybe? And what kit did you use? I live in Manchester so i...

Just had this pop up this evening, all tyres seen since pressure checked and all seem fine. Any ideas why it's doing this?

Thanks for the info once again mate much appreciated!

Shows how much I know lol thanks for this info buddy

I've asked this question before but it's doing my head in now, I had my engine rebuilt with new Pistons a few weeks ago so I know it's not that, but even before I had the rebuild I was having a slight judder when idle when the revs settle down to say 750ish or just under, it's not all the time eithe...

Well I wouldn't have ever guessed that lol, thanks mate.

This one has puzzled me since I got my rocco, are the lines on the back 2 Windows hear strips? They don't seem to do anything when I do have my back window on. Ridiculous post but it's doing my head it lol.

Cheers mate, yeah I'm just taking it smooth varying the revs at the moment, not been above 3000 really, plus I never boot it until it's warmed up anyway lol
