Misfiring Problems Leading to New engine in my Bocanegra

Just to point to add it was 350 miles as the garage admitted to me, the tester took it home every night. This was apparently necessary as they are busy during the day.

bocanegra misfiring

Heya, I bought a bocanegra 2 months ago and everything was great until last week i had the emissions warning light come on and it started mis-firing when ticking over and running on low revs. Checked the plugs and coils and found the no3 plug was oiled up so swapped the plugs and coils around and found that the problem still occurred within the same cylinder. Booked the car in at my local seat dealer and on the drive down i stopped at traffic lights and pulled off and it was really sluggish and hardly pulled got into second and that was it cut out and the engine would not start. When she finally decided to go the engine was knocking really bad signaling piston damage. Had to get the car recovered by the aa and is currently sat waiting in the garage for them to get a new diagnostic computer as theirs has currently stopped working. Looking like i could be without my car for sometime :(.

Hope it gets sorted for you!

mine is going up for sale next month. Not because i have had issues though, just because I want something completely different now.

Yeah Jason i know what you mean. I've got a Audi Quattro 3.0 Diesel a4 on my drive the now, wife's pals and am tempted to take it out for a spin round the block....
Was having a look at it inside and out and the quality is pretty good, am esp liking the Bose sound system in it... Even tho its a few years old it still looks new. Suppose you get what you pay for tho..

Yes, because a 200bhp FWD hatch with Electronic stability control is totally different to what you have now :lol:

LOL. I know what your saying Mark but I just need a change me thinks. Been with VAG all my life so just feel the urge to try something different and the DS3R is the only other motor that interests me in the least.
