So no further story on the Death of an Engine !

Must have seriously died then!

Or must have been advised not to write in the forums anymore!

Nothing wrong with striking a deal Shame VAG doesn't have a pair to come out clean with their rather obvious f00k ups!

Just got it back now, after 4 long weeks with a new engine and a considerable dent in my wallet.

Did they give a cause for the failure?

Spark plug Electrode scored the cylinder wall and caused loss of compression due to oil consumption. But my car passed oil tests. The dealership said they have done a few like this

A few! That's not gd. Hope all goes well with ur new engine! 

I know. Fingers crossed!

Just a quick update, 2.5k on the new engine and not used a single drop of oil!

Never Raced or Rallied but a little bit nippy up to the NSL's if required to get a shift on.

 

It is a nice car you have.

Yes of course hahaha. They are such a good car for the price.

Having Re-reading post #81 / page 3 where a member says he has a written legal opinion where i defamed Skoda or is that the VW Group made me laugh.

The Company being sued by all and sundry around the world for Lying and de-frauding customers and others. 

I am even more happy now to be taken to court for defaming their good reputation for honesty and quality of products.

Looking forward to questioning them on that honesty and good reputation.

Just read through all this makes me re-think about doing any engine mods

I can see a lot of these being bought at 10 years or age for peanuts as throwaway hot hatches if they go bang.

You can get them now for £4,000 or near and plenty are ending up into ditches now.

There were not that many in the first place.

Not sure how many will be on the roads at 10 years old.

There are some over 6 years old now still going strong with the original engine and gearbox.

Not all are made of chocolate.

Offski haven't you got yours mapped 1.4tsi

Yes i have had maps but on different Twinchargers. 

So not one on vrs then I'm stuck in two minds of should do it or not considering some problems people have certainly don't have the money if the engine went bang but on the other hand ant shaw has tuning box and had no problems

I have had various remaps and used different ECUs with different maps on different cars.

You do what you want and just dont expect others to pay if you break something.

 

Good Oil, Plugs and fuel and pay attention to how the car goes.

Since this engine went bang and im on 3rd engine with ITG induction kit, bigger front mount and APR a stage 1. The car has been running sweet. In 17k miles it hasn't missed a beat. AND NO OIL CONSUMPTION EITHER!!

I had those mods on my second engine and the skoda garage even said it was not the mods that caused it to fail just bad design on VW part with the oil injectors.

Maybe another is dead.

& not because of the dreaded Oil Consumption or spark plug failings, just someone filling the tank with diesel.

 

My favourite vRS was given to a family member and their partner has put diesel in and driven it until it would go no further.

So it is uplifted from the Motorway and in a good garage but i am not holding out hope on a quick recovery back to good health.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that, George. 

Oh no :(
