I have reached out to VW Australia who directed me to the dealer I purchased the car from. I'm waiting for the dealer to inspect before VW Australia will comment on the issue. I have been quoted a few things from the mechanic and also the dealer (see below). I'm really looking for recommendations on where to go from here and how others have addressed the issue
- The mechanic suggested replacing the engine for roughly $7k, not a quote but if I was interested they would give me a quote
- VW dealer has said they will run diagnostics on it, if the find loss of compression in cylinder 4 (which they will find), then they have said $1100 - $1300 to tear the engine down and find the cause. Once they have done that they will pass on findings to VW
