    Loss of coolant

    I'll have it checked out, there was a waterpump leak before i had the timing belt etc done but the coolant loss was far greater then was topping it up every few days. waterpump etc was done by a mechanic who worked for Seat and is also family so i'm confident he did the job correctly

    Overboost :(

    Piston rings? Surely you wouldn't need a whole new engine for a new set of piston rings. Might be an expensive repair but at least if you fix that engine's rings you know that's whats needed to fix that engine. Otherwise buying another pulled engine from another car you don't know what wear it...
