Had the diagnosis on mine this morning
08 Plate 1.4 TSi GT (140) - 75000m on the clock.
Took to a fantastic independent garage this morning (CIVS) after Engine Management Warning flashed up earlier this week and they've said 99% sure the timing chain has slipped meaning likely engine strip to replace tensioners and extras.
Staring a big job and £1000 in the face.
Wondering if anyone has paid for the work and had any problems since work being done or better to cut losses, trade in and just get a new set of wheels?
