has anyone ever heard of a spark plug melting itself into the head of the 1.4 tsi engine cause it has just happened to mine and i cannot understand how the engine could get so hot to do this while all temperature gauges were reading normal, i though it was just a coil away when it started miss-firing turns out the whole engine needs stripped and rebuilt(under warranty lucky ) if anyone knows anything about this i would love to hear

Quite common to have bad plugs but not as extreme as your case. Vw fitted wrong plugs from factory. Plenty of threads on briskoda about this.
