hi guys, this is going to be a long post. hope you guys bear with me and give me all the info and comment needed.
be it good or bad.

I brought a MK5 GT 1.4 from Reliance by c&e on 22/10/16
Test drive was ok due to never drive for long way.
But car was vibrating all the time when i come to a red light. i thought it was normal. so never really care.
So after driving for a 3 week. the night mare come.

CEL/EPC light on a morning. So i went to a workshop which the car was warranted by them. Deutsche motoren werke at kaki bukit.

After all those whatever work done by them. they mention piston crack. so need to full overhaul.
So we go ahead with it. and the cost is nearly 1.3k
which included labour,gasket, spark plug,ign coil and etc

After a week. they mention injectors was faulty and need to replace as well.
So we go ahead again, replace 4 x injector which the cost come to 1.3k as well.

After few days. workshop call in again stating turbo is faulty and need to change.
The turbo was working fine when i brought the car till to the date where i send in to the workshop.
So now the cost might be around 2k for the turbo.

As for dealer. they mention they will cover $900 only for every thing. not included the turbo repair.

As for workshop, they mention they will not cover the turbo repair even though it might be mishandling by them.

So i seriously need advice as i had never encounter such a case.

thanks for reading and please advice me what to do.


engine light came out? y not try reset it first?
