Your opinion is noted and fully ignored.
you are correct , exactly what i posted but seems to have been overlooked
lol
well 2 out of 3 of us but an apology for calling Rob H a grandad might go a long way !and thats exactly what i said , maybe if you read the posts myself , steve and rob have made you might actually see that the posts we have put are not negative towards the engine but the woefull SEAT backup all the way through to the dealerships.
we havent come on to this forum to gloat take the piss or piss people off , we have posted in good faith giving advice to people who have got problems from the experience we have had dealing with problems and dealers ourselves , but at the same time we dont deserve to have the piss taken out of us either , just because we drive far superior cars
if you post here that you have engine problems in the future (i hope not) we will be the first to offer genuine advice and believe it or not we wont take the piss
anyway back on topic
as far as i am aware its a vw engine which runs SEAT software maybe this has been the problem?
i did post a link earlier in the year from a scirroco forum where they thought the problem was in engine tolerances though.
if i find the link i will post it
and no im not having a go at you
What I said that upset him was so blatantly ridiculous I didn't feel the need for an "smiley" to convey the fact it was meant in jest. 
Lets just clear up a couple of things. I havnt a problem with seat and i havent even offered any advise.
I merely pointed out i was looking at maybe buying this car (well polo) but not if VW were bining this engine due to issues
As it turns out its all scare mongering and theres the usual problems as with any engine also that VW were looking at alternatives as its expenisve to produce and not expensive to keep fixing this engine, which aint a bad thing.
^^^and even that was from a dodgy source so most likley is boll@x
Yes the american comment was a low blow
This thread makes me laugh. I read the article today was only 10 lines. I guess people who hate the engine or never owned the engine, just blown it out of proportion.

as the ranting harpy who was driving like her knickers were on fire in the Zafira cut us up by forcing into the gap between us and the S Max in front of us. The woman then went back in the middle lane and tried to undertake the S Max to no avail, tried to get in and Mrs B went all &*(% ~**"£ And the Altea turned into a honking light flashing mobile Xmas tree, woman bottled it swerved had a stroke by the look of her and bogged off into the slow lane
Sounds like someone that never owned an RX8 let alone any rotary engine...Mazdas Renesis rotary engine won engine of the year. Doesn't matter that it's an unreliable hunk of **** that won't get more than 20mpg uses a litre of fuel every 1000 miles, produces more co2 than a turbo v8, turn the engine off cold and you will **** it up, rev it even slightly hard from cold and you will **** it up. Drive it normaly and treat it well chances are you are going to be landed with a rather large repair bill at some point.
Engine of the year? Brilliant.
It is a rumor...
I'm gutted guy's, you can't all go making friends and agreeing with each other! What am I going to read for entertainment now.....
