Hi,

I own a Mk6 Escort Si and have found this forum really helpfull in the past...

I knw it's not a FORD but would be really greatfull for some help on a mates car, he's got a W reg Audi A3 65,000miles that has just gone in for the MOT, the mechanic has just told him he needs a new engine as it has faied on his emisions, I found this totally bollocks infomation, the car drives stop on doesn't use any oil water and for 65,000 miles on an Audi I just find it very hard to believe.

Before he sells his arse tonight in the local cottaging club can anyone help with what he could possibly do before replacing the engine??

He did say it needs a godd service???

Many thanks in advance.
