Oh dear... not good. Be interested to see the problem seeing as its done 16k miles!

Not good. Hopefully they'll sort it quickly. I drive pretty briskly once it's all warmed up as it should be. Don't know whether to peg back or not now and save it or Castle Combe

cheers guys its out off my hands know. will just have to wait and see, if its a new engine i will be on the phone to vw finace as well......

To stop payments or?

Sorry about the car hopefully it`s sort out quickly for you

Not good!

What worries me is your car has done over 16,000 miles and you've described an every day situation for most of us. Error message as well as all 4 cylinders failing sounds worse.

Hope it gets fixed mate. Keep us posted.

well guys the news isn't good the dealers have been on the phone 3 or 4 times. the car has got a major engine failure i have a miss fire across the engine and the spark plugs in number 2 and 4 have been destroyed to the point off ware, the bottom off the sparks have blown in to the engine. which is to the point the engine is dead as the dodo, they tried telling they were going to just replace the sparks. i have told them not a chance and i will reject the car on that basis..

i am off to have a strong drink :(

lol

Engine failure and they'll just replace the sparks? Not a good idea...

what on earth causes a failure like that? i don't think i have ever heard of such an issue.

Totally right on rejecting any repair made that does not include a new engine in my opinion. i assume the engine still turned following the catastrophic failure mashing the broken spark plug all around the combustion chamber.

I was thinking of upgrading to a mark 2 fab vRS.

No so sure now, but I hope you get it sorted.

the bottom off the sparks have blown in to the engine

I've read about this happening before on the vRS...sure it was on this site??

I was thinking of upgrading to a mark 2 fab vRS.

Looking at your specs, the standard Mk2 would be a downgrade

No so sure now, but I hope you get it sorted.

Because one car has engine failure?

You need a Micra..They are very reliable says my mates grandmother!!
