Very interesting information wow! For 1~3 yrs old FSI engines should be ok, as they are within warranty and serviced in the dealer's workshop, so I guess any issues can be sorted out by the dealer within reasonable cost.
For modified FSI engines, one must be very careful, as a lot of parts would be operating out of their original designed parameters. Trouble is that, ECU modifications can be done via program upload into the ECU system, and can be reversed by uploading the factory settings into the ECU, so any 2nd hand buyer will have no way to confirm whether the ECU has been modified before, and whether the engine has been operating outside its original parameters. |
