Keep at them. The only dealers I have come across that are not a bunch of window lickers are roadside motors lurgan but I have seen the manager/boss and he emanates typical managerial mongness.
Mervyn stewart motors tried to tell me that my thermostat was working perfectly and that my car didn't have speakers in the rear doors after they had repaired a failed seal. I said to them go look at the other door and tell me it's not supposed to have speakers in it.
They, ok vast majority of them, try and do as little as possible to fix it and hope you'll disappear. I can't understand this attitude as they claim back the expense from the warranty company or at least that's the way it worked with the skoda fabia I had bought.
And as for not knowing what the problem is, do you believe that for a second? The parts guy at a ford dealers in antrim is very good and I get parts off him, so he can get a problem diagnosed to a tee over the phone from just a description. Most of the guys reading this thread have gave diagnosis all trending towards the same area. Anyone working with vehicles day in and day out will be able to put their finger on it more or less straight away.

I have just read through your post from start to finish again
Just to clear a couple of points up , was your cambelt changed before you bought the car ?
If so I am willing to bet anything your timing is out , my exhaust popped and banged all the time through the exhaust until SEAT eventually stripped my head off to find it was about 40 degrees out of position on the intake cam shaft , I too had fuelling problems , my car was running rich and costing me about £70 a month of fuel more than it should be ie a tank more
Don't waste your time trying to get a bod from Milton Keynes to come out, I went through this , he said there was nothing wrong with my car , later found out they work on seats behalf not actual employees !
It's easy check for them to see if the timing is out , they need to line up the timing marks , and there are cutouts in the actual cams them selfs to take a locking tool , in my case the locking tool wouldn't fit.
If you have had bore wash and diluted oil from fuel I would now be telling the
That you want a full strip down report done on the engine and a replacement engine fitted.
No point fixing the issue now if you have been driving around on a petrol flooded engine !
Revos fuel pump failed and they fitted a new engine !

Sounds like a Friday afternoon car. Hand the keys back, and get yourself another car.

Great post. Exactly why I also asked if the belt had been changed. Agree with everything there.
I would be demanding that the guy that mapped the car isn't allowed anywhere near it.
Yes it will because the timing is variable on these engines , so in certain conditions and certain loads the car will act differently.
That's why seat dismissed my car as normal ! Even though the timing was out
You may be lucky being only one tooth out at the crank , or your could find that they siding lock the camshafts and moved one by mistake.
As I said is quite easy for the workshop to check.

Williburp, sorry to hear about you'er problem! It must be every guys nightmare to experience this!!
Very good read & very interesting btw!
I'm quite blown back with this fuel & oil mixture! I think this's a part that should be checked on a more regular basis who don't have this problem! ! If they they refuse to replace you'er engine I would make sure they rebuild it with BRAND-NEW cams!
