Golf 6 tsi

At least they're not trying to deny anything or saying there's nothing wrong with it.

I would let them put the brand new engine in and ask for a loan vehicle gratis as compensation, as an engine failure at less than 20,000 Km is a bit harrowing.

Just received a call from VW FD. There is no compresion on cylinder 4 and 2. The replaced the piston rings and replaced the coils on all 4 cylinders. Still after the dry and wet presure test there is still no compression. I am not very clued up with these sort of things and they advised me that they would have to order a new motor from Germany..........

Really upset I mean the car only has 16000 Km on and been running really good. Had the 15000 km service done 4 weeks ago...........

Is there any thing I can do?

Holy cow! It is what it is and at least they're doing the right thing by you & going to the extent of replacing the whole darn engine.

I thought at the time of my problems that they had to replace piston rings. I would be very frustrated if they didn't give me a new engine in that scenario... so that's good that they've done that for you.

That must have been a shock.

Oh that's not good. Also it is it weird that VW Au doesn't stock any parts here in Australia. I am having an issue with my DSG and they will need to order and get it from Germany. I wish if they had some stocks here, so that we don't need to wait too long.

I'm sure in the meantime VW FD will get Ollie a loan car as soon as they practically can. That will take the sting out of the wait. (hope they give you their Golf GT Sport if they still have it)

After a while I get used to my car & don't appreciate how good it is. Going from the loaner back into the car you certainly rediscover how quiet it really is & what a nice place it is to be in.

Good they are replacing the engine, but what they said makes no sense. It's odd to have 2 cylinders not next to each other go at the same time ( 2 and 3 or 3 and 4are more likely). If both dry and wet compression are low or non existent, then that means it is not the pistons or rings, it is the valves or heads that are the problem. I would have thought they would have noticed this while replacing the rings.

You have my sympathy. Hope they come good with a loaner.

Thanks, like I said I'm a finance man not clued up with these sort of things. i just know it sounds bad. Lucky for me I am flying overseas for 4 weeks holiday so hopefully when I return early in January my car will be fixed, that is the one reason I am not actually to fussed about a loaner because today is my last day of work. Really cant wait to get on a plane and forget about my car, my bike(Also getting fixed).

Cheers

It's not uncommon to have to fly in a new motor - the overseas manufacturers dont tend to keep whole engines sitting in storage as it's not that common to have to replace a whole motor (so the cost isnt worth it - just pay air shipping when required!)

My mums BMW had a replacement shipped in from Germany when the previous owner flooded it (with water). Took about a fortnight for the whole job.
