Job from October 2016

Vehicle
SEAT 2.0 PD diesel
Came in with
Smoking badly and cutting out after a replacement engine (customer-supplied) had been fitted elsewhere.
What we found
The injector and cylinder head were worn away, and the injector seats were beyond saving even with seat-cutting equipment.
What we did
Not repairable: another engine was needed.
