Advice on Polo 6r GTI import Motor any info

Post by Preggz »

Hi Guys
So recently my motor Farkt out on a Bone stock car.
Assessors report was that
Failure occurred as a result of detonation and air fuel mixture running too lean.
It is advocated that the injector is faulty which caused the detonation to occur.

So Hollard is rejecting my claim it was confirmed that the damage to the engine was due to detonation
which is not covered in terms of the policy.

I would like to know has anyone did the Polo 6r GTI import Motor swap
They say the import motor is also on the Tigaun/Polo 1.4TSI..
Would like to know? if it is wise to do the import swap or the Rebuild on current motor cost is high.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

sorry to hear about the engine on your car,

Quick question regarding your mechanical warranty...I see you mention Hollard...I am currently in the marker for a mechanical warranty,
Should I stay away from Hollard?

Hollard is the worse, I had the plan that was R250 per month for my 8year old golf 6.

When my water pump started leaking coolant, Vw repair cost was R6500.

They wanted a letter from vw stating that it is the water pump issue. Then I have to email the documents to the call center, wait for some approval before any work can be carried out.
At then end they only paid R2500 towards the repair cost R6500.
