My worst moment was when the engine blew up after driving it for 10 miles.
Permanent engine faillure. The whole thing needs to be replaced.

Re: Grinding noise from engine..
Hi, I don't exactly know if the 'grinding' described here is the same as the 'rattle' that my Scirocco 2.0 petrol DSG made. But if it is: watch out! My engine blew up after driving 10 miles. Literally. They will have to replace the entire engine. Full story here: http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/for...

Permanent engine faillure after 20 miles
Picked up my shiny new Scirocco 2.0 TSI last week. All looked well. On my way home, I heard a rattle coming from the engine bay every time the car shifted down (DSG), or when I took my foot off the accelerator. But it's new, so what could be wrong?
