The dealer gave me the parts list and cost sheet, glad I wasn't paying!

So, the car is back, they replaced the engine and I have to go back after 1000 miles for them to check it over. Time to decide what my next move is.

Had the exact same issue with mine about 2 years ago with 20000kms on the clock...low compression 3rd cylinder.....mine used about 350ml of oil every 1000km...after about 2 months at the dealer while they went through all the tests and sending info to Germany they replaced the head and injectors ...

I should find out net week what VW will do to resolve it, based on some searching on the net I do expect they will change the engine rather than just the head and injectors.

Don't think I will plan on keeping it much longer after it has been repaired. Don't really want to have issues after it goes out of warranty in March.

According to the dealer an injector issue has damaged a valve and melted the spark plug. I'm waiting to see what VW decide they will do to to remedy the problem. I assume they will replace the head and injectors.

Posted a little while ago about my wife's GTI having a strange rattle. Booked it in to VW as its still under warranty and they called me today to say that they have found low compression on one cylinder and will be stripping the engine to find out the fault.

Car has done 17,000 miles so I asked the ...

Thanks all for the responses, I'll have a chat with VW regarding the supercharger clutch, and do some digging around VCDS and see what I can find out.

I noticed it's a bit tappety sounding when pulling away sometimes or accelerating from low revs, is this usual?

Anyone?
