Hi people,
So on saturday my engine decided to poo itself (2017 leon 300 manual) and is now making a horrible noise, had about 15 people tell me its rod knock. So its not looking good.
I have the car booked in next week to get diagnosed as to the full extent of the damage. I'm a bit concern of the potential cost this could rise to in repairs.
Has anyone had an engine rebuild in the uk and got a rough cost of what i should be looking at? I know it entirely depends on the condition of each individual case but even a rough estimate would be appreciated.
Alternatively has anyone had an engine swap done and how much did it cost you? Around £2-2.5k seems to be the going rate for an engine nowadays but not sure on how much fitting would be.
As for my car i caught the noise pretty early and it was maybe driven another 2 miles and has not been driven since. Is this in my favour as to how badly its gone, or is it completely game over once you hear the rod knocking?
Any words of encouragement would be appreciated, I'm genuinely gutted about this.
P.s This came very unexpected, only had the car 6 months and its only covered 36k miles and has a good service record.
