Hi all,

After some advice.

I bought a 2010 1.2L 77 tsi Polo 5 years ago.
October last year (2016) my engine blew because I hadn't taken it for a service. Idiot mistake I know.

I went to a private mechanic, he quoted me $3500 to get a second hand engine with 92k on the clock, my original engine had 75k since factory. Already knew I was at a loss, at the time I needed my car, it's 100% my only way to work, so I said yes to replacing it.
Anyway, within the 6months of having it I made sure to keep up with the services. On Monday (8th May 17) I took it in for it's 108k service, this is the 3rd minor service I've done within the 6months of having this engine and on Friday (12th May 17) I turned the car on, let it warm up and drove my normal
20kms out of my street, it revved 3-4 trying to get out of 2nd, 4 1/2 to get out of 3rd with an extremely loud rattling sound. (Rattling I experienced more with this engine than my factory engine) I get 200m from my street, turn and the car shuts down and I'm rolling to the side of the road. Doesn't start.
Tow it to the mechanic who serviced it, who also bought this engine and asked him what happened.
Engine has blown again! He said the timing chain snapped which most likely caused damage to the valves.
With this engine I paid an extra $200 to have 90days Warranty instead of 30days.

He told me on Friday, he and the guy from the car yard he bought this engine from, had discussed this is a "common" issue but bought the engine before telling me there's a possibilty this would happen again.

On monday he ran a full computer diagnostic on my car and said it picked up no faults. He did a minor service and when they gave my car back to me the rattle sounded louder than when I had taken it in to him that morning. 45mins he took to do the minor service.

I need some advice, what can I do that will get my car back on the road without me having to replace the engine at my cost?
Is there anyone else who has dealt with a similar situation?
