ReBuild Options ? help please.
#1
**Sorry , double post, can't seem to deletet it ***
I've melted the pistons on my STi6 type RA,
I rolled out of gear from 120mph (ish) to 90mph and the engine died, tried to put into gear to start but engine was already dead.
( I was on a private road etc....)
garage say that rolling out of gear is "abusive" driving, as the car needs to remain in gear to keep turning, so they say I have no warranty.
Have been back and forth arguing this point now for 6 months and I'm getting nowhere. So am completely fed-up.
so
my options with them are:
new engine 4k ( free labour )
rebuild/new pistons 3.5k ( free labour )
Have I any other options ? Something that would make the cost worthwhile ?
eg. Bore the engine out for 2.2 ?
advTHANKSance
ps.
any garages with a decent offer welcome
