100% - That's exactly what I'm trying trying to find. For all I know it could be just a clogged pcv valve that needs replacing..

Its not that I like the car mate, its how much its worth to me atm, I can't afford to replace it - its a question of can I get it repaired for cheaper than it would cost me to buy an equivalent motor and of course that comes with another set of baggage. The £12k quote above was for a brand new engine as they weren't prepared do anything other than replace the engine. I don't have the space or the money to maintain another.

Had a positive response from https://www.ctcarsltd.co.uk/ Leatherhead, Surrey Anyone used them or know of them?

Quote from that garage in Dorking im not even going to justify my time to reply to them ” Ok so after looking into things there is only 1 option we would be happy fittings and that’s an exchange engine from Skoda, subject to full strip down we estimate £12,500 inc parts, labour and vat If you wanted to proceed the engine would need to be paid for at point of booking as non returnable, so the engine alone is £8582 inc vat Let me know if you want us to proceed Many thanks Paul

Anyone know of any garages in the Redhill/Surrey area that would undertake the work, I’ve contacted several garages who either don’t want to know or just the say the engine needs replacing reply to enquiry from Station View garage Dorking today: “Thank you for your enquiry, but if its using that amount of oil then it clearly needs the engine replacing at that mileage it wouldn`t be cost effective its clearly burning oil internally which is common on these at this mileage, if you can provide the registration no. then I can raise an estimate for you to give you an idea at least.” Station View Garage All Your Vehicle Requirements Under One roof Call now on 01306 880 149 to book your appointment at Station Road, Dorking, RH4 1HF Visit our Website | Follow us onFacebook | Twitter

Thanks, would the mechanic need some of blueprint/part numbers to make the required changes etc rather than just replacing what’s already there with the same parts?

Possible Head gask?

Back to the Engine Issues In Summary - 1.8 TSi 4x4 2010 (118kW) Engine Number CDA 18**** Oil is 5w-40 Synthentic Oil Consumed is 2 litres every 400miles If asking for a quote on an engine rebuild what exactly am I asking for? Rings/Conrods/Pistons? New Chain? What am I looking these days? £2.5 - 3k? This is the current state with the cover off - looks like there's lots of oil leakage?

Update: Not a lot as happened as been busy with work but the time has now come to get this all sorted once and for all - compounded by the fact that Autoglass replaced the windscreen for a chip last summer and the rear view mirror was found to be hanging by its cables yesterday morning 🥵 So as well starting to get new engine rebuilding quotes I now have find someone who can reconnect the rear view mirror Ive disconnected the mirror from the loom but wondering who could stick it back on??

now getting a misfire on Cylinder 1 - car drinking 2 litres of oil every 400 miles 😢 Engine now just shudders when I start and leave in idle

Agreed, they are horrendous looking but I guess thats electric cars in general

Having said I have just emailed a load of VAG specialists in my area (this lot look promising http://www.audivwspecialistleatherhead.co.uk/info2.cfm?info_id=198615) so will wait and see - my goal is to keep it as like you say (despite its grandad looks imo) its one heck of a versatile car

Thank you for such a detailed reply, really appreciate - Im half in mind now to sell it with the problem - webuyanycar quoted me just over 4250 with the issue (its done 60k) so may just take them up on that

Many thanks for replying will all that info. Are you saying there is more to consider than just paying £1600 odd for a recon'd engine online (247spares) ? The car drives as smooth as it did when I first got it, all thats gone wrong with it was a clutch release bearing a few years back (£800) and the odd coil pack replacement - it still drives superb and pulls like a train

Hi, I purchased my Yeti from Marlborough Cars, Isleworth back in 2013 Car is 2011 1.8 TSi I’m aware of the issue but wanted to know if anyone has had this lately ive got the dreaded piston oil leak issue (I think) 2 litres of oil every 400miles tailpipe is really sooty been ignoring for a while but can’t anymore Looking at getting not getting issue diagnosed for ££££ and just getting a recon'd engine and paying £3.5 -4k for whole job Before I do this ... Do I have any consumer rights whatsoever? Many thanks
