Re: 2010 2.0 TFSI needs a new engine

My experience was exactly as you said, VW customer care very friendly, but in the end gave me nothing, sorry we cannot do anything for you!! I think our options are the small claims court, its worth a try for not much money.

Good luck

Re: 2010 2.0 TFSI needs a new engine

Hi, Ive had a similar issue with my R, engine blew, VW cannot tell me why! The R has a belt not a chain but sounds very much the same happened.

Re: Engine Blown

I don't believe VW myself, the explanation does not ring true to me either. First time round the dealer said the cambelt had gone, this then changed to the pistons hitting the plugs, something must have caused this. I can't believe with all the computers on the engine that they do not know the reaso...
