Hello there,
I recently had a brand new engine fitted to my Astra. The original one met with an early death after the oil pump failed and i didn't get a warning light - the engine totally shattered inside.
Anyway, i paid a reputable garage £3500 to supply and fit a BRAND NEW engine, which they acquired direct from Vauxhall. The other day, i noticed the car juddering and it wasn't being very reponsive when i hit the accelerator. I took it back to the garage, they said coil pack and spark plugs needed placing, and said it would be £230 including labour.
They've now called me back saying that even though they've fitted the new coil and plugs, the problem hasn't gone away - and there is no power coming from my 3rd cylinder, ie its failed. I'm a bit worried now that i'll get stuck in the middle of a dispute between Vauxhall and the garage. The new engine worked fine for 2000 miles, so can it be down to bad workmanship from the garage that has led to this, or is it simply a faulty engine and Vauxhall have to replace it under warranty?
Any advice greatly welcome. Thank you.
