I have a sport touring hatch 6spd with 28xxx kms (17xxx miles) (picked up October 2019). It was making a loud knocking sound after getting off the highway one day (I was running the factory tune when it happened.) Ended up towing it to the dealer. A while later they tell me that rods 2&3 are bent & that the crankshaft had 2mm of play. Of course they are giving me a hard time & don't want to cover it under warranty. They say it is not a defect of the motor. The car was FBO at one point but I always revert it back to stock for the winters as it is my daily (& no I do not track the car). I did also notice that my oil smelled like fuel yet they said that was irrelevant. Changed oil at regular intervals with amsoil.
Any advice as to what I could do about this? Any repair options? Could I fight warranty for this issue?
