Great news. Ive got her back with new engine. They contributed 100% parts and 30% labour and so cost me 1000 quid. It needed a service now anyway which was included and so not too bad in the end. Engine is on warranty for 2 years. Had a go at them too as their attempt at washing it was so poor they fixed the broken parcel shelf and gave me the insurance costs for the first 2 days that my insurance didnt cover the courtesy car. So glad to get rid of that Up! thing. It was an automatic and changed gear like a learner driver. Was so nice being back in the gti.  :cool: :smiley:

Glad its fixed but a your a £1000+ out of pocket due to a poorly designed, poorly tested, not fit for purpose engine part.

Is there anything that can be done to stop this happening, is it pot luck if it fails?
I've read through some of the other posts about parts from America? are these a guaranteed fix.
Off topic a bit but is it worth taking out the VW warranty to cover this sort of failure

Have to agree with the others here. You are out of pocket for something VW should really be paying 100% for.
