So I booked it into Awesome GTI today for diagnosis and was advised they need to take out full engine which is £900. That includes 12 hours at least of labour, now I’ve only had this car a month bought through a dealer, have got onto them and explained that obviously I’m in Manchester and there in Oxfordshire so it’s my choice to pay that amount to get too the bottom of this problem, however anything more then is there any of the bill that can be paid on there behalf as surely there’s still a warranty with the car as per sale, waiting for a response regarding that ? I asked
So this was the write up I got Road tested vehicle to find once back in it misfired , then scanned to find multiple faults for misfire across different cylinders, once started up it smoked a lot and revved higher than normal suspect running on its own oil , I removed engine cover to see all vac lines are very old and perished which could have contributed to the fault once vehicle in the air removed turbo outlet pipe which a cup of oil came out, which leads me to believe the turbos are faulty causing oil to pass the seals and into the intake, to be 100% sure this is the issue we would have to remove the Turbos and inspect which would mean the engine coming out suspect a sensor our servo faulty for the brake issue but would require more time to inspect fully recommend not driving the vehicle.
So that’s what was stated in the diagnostic review, any help regarding any of this would be appreciated it’s going in on the 9th august absolutely gutted no car until at least a week after that date as they have said 2 days work , so can someone give me a best case scenario and a worse case price wise as I’ve heard this can get scary
so this was so long winded, hopefully someone will take the time to help a new owner thanks Barry
