1.4 TSI engine problems
I own a Scirocco, from the dealer. After three months and 3,500 km they told me that the car needed a replacement motor. After six months the problems began - misfire, turbo problems, oxygen sensor fault, etc.
I don't know what to say about this car, they told me its not engine problems.
Will changing the engine solve the problems? I will push them to change it if so.

There are problems with the turbocharged and supercharged 1.4TSI. It's going to come to a point where VW can't get away with it any longer. I'd simply take legal action against the supplying dealer and force the issue.
