So I’ve finally put down a deposit on a 2009 Mk6 GTI DSG, sub 40k mileage with full VW service history. Having an engineer inspection next week for a bit of peace of mind. I am wrestling with what to do about the timing chain issue, having skimmed all 74 pages of the thread. There is no evidence in the paperwork that the tensioner has ever been replaced, so I think I have to assume it hasn’t been. Sorry if I’m going back over old ground but, if I have the block 93 chain stretch check done, and I am fortunate enough to find it’s a good result, is it the consensus view that I still need to get the tensioner, chain, etc, replaced as a precaution? I’d be (reluctantly) prepared to, but not if the evidence suggests it’s not necessary. I know the chain has been known to fail with no (audible) warning, and obviously realise the catastrophic consequences of this, but is this actually likely if there’s minimal evidence of chain stretch? I note that a well-regarded VAG specialist near me (recommended on this forum) offers a free block 93 check, but what would be the point of this if the answer is just that I should replace it unconditionally?
