It’ll have to the 4th engine

Should give this one death from day 1 and see if it makes any difference power wise compared to doing it gently.
Imagine the graphs....
Im feeling the need mark
So have they offered a fix for the engine or just old for new and potentially more problems down the road.?

I must admit mark, I would like to see a R&R readout from the “revised engine”.
Something says to me there is a potential loss in power lingering to help with preservation!
If i’d commited myself to owning a flagship premium car that needed an engine change 8k in then i’d be more inclined to make sure i thrashed the next one.
These engines are allegedly bench tested? One way to find out.
Fails again?
You’ll love Golf R ownership. Stage 1 R’s with DSG make 60 in 3.9s.
It's meant to have enough revisions to make them properly watertight. Time will tell if they've got that right. There's meant to be a Feb 18 recall coming along to address for all owners so I'd seriosly doubt if they're about to commit to that project that they still haven't ironed out the bugs.
The annoying thing is I don't think we'll ever know the root cause nor the true fix for it!
This is one of the reasons I'm so keen to get back there...I too have similar doubts. Jan will be the earliest I can manage - it would be nice to get it done before Ford start rolling out the recall.
Bench tested? Nope, not as far as I'm aware, not even slightly.
Love the Golf R? I really wouldn't, I'd nod off quicker than I do in the Kuga.
You should do a dance to this with the gloves onSo this happened a few hours ago...

It had nothing to do with me! I'm only aware of it because someone posted it in a comment on one of my recent videos...I'm enjoying watching the spike in views/subscribers though LOL
You’re famous!
Good to see Ford publicly acknowledging there is a fault and that they’re going to fix all of them.
Fame and fortune are just around the corner. And pussy, just think of the pussy!So this happened a few hours ago...

I'm glad to hear that your dealer have managed the engine swap OK and in a timely fashion

Genius
Can't be a lemon as when it works it's an incredible car. Proved even more so in the recent inclement weather.Or gets ridiculed online for buying a lemon, and not only a lemon an expensive lemon with a Ford badge.

I'll tell you when I sell it!What’s values like at the mo?
Thanks for jinxing me! No idea what will be better as don't know what the route cause of the issue is. Fingers crossed it stays fine till the recall, certainly won't stop me using it (albeit, I'm not using it much now). @Dan, sorry to hear. How many miles have you done and what was the build date?@c4pob you’re next.
Probably worse to have an original engine than a changed revised one at this point.! @Dan how many miles are you on?
