Hey ,
Thanks for the Quick and Honest reply ,
I Have two things that come to mind :
1. The testing Center (That tested the vehicle) should have noticed that failure , they did a compression test - but i don't even understand how to read it , obviously if one cylinder was damaged - the compression test should have gotten it , Why would i pay money for someone to check the engine if the test is incorrect? (It even says the test was done in 250 RPM , while Idle is around 750 in Evoque).
2. I Think the Garage has an incentive to sell me an Engine , Bigger margin no ? Im finding it hard to believe the garage does not want to repair the engine itself (I checked it with an Engine expert that took measurements and said that the Engine and Block is immaculate , The only problem is the Piston and the Piston ring) , As far as i understand one of the Injectors was disfunctional , along side a piston (On that same injection point) , but then again , why would i BUY a car that has a bad engine? this is what the testing center is for (I know either the seller , testing center or the garage is wrong - in some way).
3. Currently i have Talked to the testing center who sent their insurance guy to check the engine (Well , the parts of the engine that is currently in the garage) , I checked with the garage and they said the Engine was not tampered with or overboosted as you suggested , on top all of the vehicle history is under the registered garage dealer (the same garage that treated the vehicle and is now treating it).
This is the situation i am trying to deal with , Thoughts ?
Thanks

The trouble is every mile would have been causing further damage until something failed that was fatal.
I'm not surprised valves are now burnt out and maybe even if the Cylinder liners are damaged or the rods are and pins are bent or damaged.
You must have some rights as a consumer, it is difficult as a 2nd hand car, but if sold by a dealer\trader then they must have to take some responsibility, it was clearly damaged when you bought it if your report said higher Oil Burn.
Whoever had it originally obviously knew something was wrong and got rid of it. You were sold a duf!
