Hello,
Newbie here and looking for some advice for my father in law's 1.8 tfsi A3 special edition s-tronic. It's done just over 60k and is well looked after. He was driving it a few weeks ago and it suddenly started misfiring and threw up the engine management light. He took it to a garage and they couldn't determine the issue but tested the obvious stuff like the spark plugs. He opted to take it to a dealership, who stripped the head and said very little other than the valve seals not being perfect and that cylinder 2 & 3 have low compression. They're advising he need an engine replacement.
This seems a bit drastic, what do you guys think?
Here's a link to the video provided by the Audi dealer

Any input or advice would be massively appreciated
Thanks!
Darren
