Owner of a Leon Cupra 5F DSG 2014
I follow all the maintenance recommendations given by the manufacturer and the on-board computer.
The other day, on the freeway, I accelerated to 180km/h and then the car stopped accelerating.
I run a diag, it runs on 3 cylinders and indicates misfires in all cylinders.
After dropping it off at a Seat dealer, he read the compressions: 11, 11, 11, 5.
The garage told me that a spark plug had broken in cylinder 4 (I didn't see the car, which was repatriated 2 hours from my home).
They're now giving me a quote to remove the cylinder head (900€) just to get a diagnosis.
As my car runs on Ethanol E85 and is in Stage 1 soft (360hp), Seat doesn't want to intervene and recommends a complete engine replacement (17000€).
I don't know what to do about this and I'll need your advice. Should I take it to another garage to have the extent of the repairs assessed (I'll need to count about 600€ for transport)?
What would you do in my place? How much could it cost in the best and worst case scenarios?
Thank you
