  1. I could not drive the car. I took the car to the mechanic with a car transfer. The noise was like a tracktor at first until it stopped starting. Is it worth it adding a used 1.4 or 1.6 engine ? Is it possible? I have heard good things about those engines.
  2. I had 4 years with the emissions remap on and nothing happened. Wouldn't happened earlier if it was from that?
  3. Yeah i did went the car for the recall for the emissions. Why?
  4. Hello everyone. So long story short i have a fabia 1.2 tdi. 6 years old with 45000 miles aproximately i bought it new. When i left my office i started the engine and the sound of the car was not normal. After driving for a mile or so my car began sounding like a tracktor. I stopped called the mechanic and had my car picked up. So i went to the first workshop the mechanic said engine is done. I went for a second option and they told me the same. Finally after not having a clear answer i took the car to one of the best in my town mechanics. He told me that the car has a broken crankshaft. The option is to either swap engine with a used one or sell it for scrap. My problem is not understanding how is possible with so low miles such a problem came up. I never stressed the car and the oil changes were on time. What did i do wrong? The mechanic said that these engines are not so reliable and very weak. Is it worth it buying a used engine if mine was broken like that with so low miles? Or it's better to search for another car?
