i got a noisy throw out bearing so that another £950 for a clutch...
I have a noisy throw out bearing too. I just decided to put up with it. If the clutch fails completely I'll change it. It's not like it will take anything else with it. From what I've read most just put up with it and it rarely leads to clutch failure.
The clutch is now my least favourite part of the car, though. Apart from the noise it just doesn't feel very good. I don't know if this is normal, though. I had a Honda before which had a lovely clutch, but Honda transmissions are the best in the world so who knows.
Got a obdeleven dongle and took my timing chain reading... I think I’m ok for now? Or should it be changed??
Really hard to say, I'm afraid, mate. OBDEleven can tell you if you definitely need to change your chain and tensioner right now, ie. if it's reading over 5 degrees (some say anything over 4-4.5). In that case you're definitely at risk of a jump and your engine going out of time. But it can't tell you that you're OK. If you're on the early tensioner versions it could still fail at any time.
I would shop around a bit if you can given the £940 quote, though. You should be able to get the whole thing done with new chains, tensioner, guides, timing case etc. for around £800. It's still a lot of money, though. Just have to ask yourself if you like the car enough to sink the money. You could probably sell it and get a FN2 Type-R for similar money and it won't have these problems. But you have to weigh up the stress of buying/selling and consider if the Mk6 is worth more to you than a Type-R.
It does get better, but you're going to have to fork out if you want to keep the Mk6 I'm afraid!
