So, I collected this 1.6 FSI SE last Sunday. When I went to view it they said that the engine warning light was on. They’d scanned the car and it pointed at the mass air flow sensor. Which they replaced before I collected it. I drove it home and it ran perfectly. Happy me.
After a few days, it was pointed out to me that there was a low rumbling noise when at higher revs. Thinking it was the exhaust I took it to a friend who looked underneath. It wasn’t the exhaust. It seemed it was the large hose/pipe from the air filter that had come off. I drove it 15 miles home and it sounded lots better. As I was approaching Home, the engine management light and ABS light came on with the dreaded 3 shrill beeps. After a few turn off turn ons, the fault seemed to clear and it ran perfectly. That was till today. When driving home I thought the engine sounded funny at low revs and there was a lack of power. On idle, the engine was hunting between 600 and 800 rpm. And there was a delay when pressing accelerator.
Upon plugging in a diagnostic tool it says there’s a misfire on cylinder 1. Here’s the questions......... can I take it back to the garage I bought it from to be looked at as it’s a week since the purchase?
And, could it be an expensive fix?
Sorry to ramble on. Any help and advice would be most welcome.
Thanks.
