NEWS Just in.... Brand new engine to be fitted under warranty, expected to be all sorted by the end of the week.

Finally got a call today, engine is coming out, all work to be done under warranty, progress.....

Ive politely asked for a comprehensive report via Email, so i can use the information if needed in court if need be. Guess what..... Still no reply...

So after nearly 2 weeks the garage having the car, we still don't have a 100% final diagnostics....... Oh the Joys!!!

I have got a car from the dealer,

The cars still in the garage, still no news since Wednesday

VRSmick, if you don't mind me asking, how old is your car and how many miles had it done before the engine was replaced?

After checking my info and old receipts its a skoda approved used car warrenty

60Reg, I did have a 12 month approved used car warranty from the dealer. Maybe the new engine would be the ideal solution. I will keep you updated when i hear back from the garage today i hope. Many thanks for all your comments.

To Cut long story short - Bought car March 2014 from Skoda dealer, 44000 miles full service history. Last serviced Aug 2014 50k service Car broke down 18th Nov - EML and EMC warning lights - Limp mode Skoda Roadside Assisted - Damaged Spark Plug in port 1, after misfire detected. - Spark Plugs changed @ 40K service as indicated in service book. Currently in Garage - Hole in Piston apparently - Engine strip - Top Engineer to come out to look into why. Anyone else had this kind of issue, is it worth me buying a new car? Any thoughts? i believe it should be covered under warranty as the services where carried out on time, and that genuine VAG pasts where used (I'm hoping so anyway) £££££ just before Xmas is not good!!

Thanks all, i have a better idea now.

Hello, im new to the Fabia VRS and its my first Skoda, One question on my mind is, "do i need to leave the turbo and supercharger to cool before turning off the engine"? Hope you can help
