Possible New Engine Needed?

[RocketRossUK]

Just thought id post this for info purposes if anyone was interested in an idea of costs,

 Well for piece of mind at that sort of price I'll be booking it in next week,
Not worth messing around yourself ?

This is the reply I got

Good morning Neil

To replace the timing chain tensioner to the latest type and all new bolts cover etc needed would be £262.70inc fitted. I see that we have your car in with us tomorrow for the K04 Turbo upgrade, unfortunately I don't think we would have time to replace this tensioner at the same time. If you have any other questions please let me know, Andy is not back in until tomorrow.

If you would like the tensioner replacing we can arrange a booking with you when you bring your car in tomorrow, we have time available next week.

Kind regards,

On it's way in then

Had mine in for a service today and mentioned this. They checked a TSB and said my chassis number didn't appear on the TSB affected list, but couldn't guarantee 100% it wouldn't be affected. I asked if they could tell me which tensioner assembly was fitted but they couldn't do that either without a strip down to check. Not really any further forward. Mines a MY11 made in June 2010

Had an amusing phone conversation with the guy who booked it in for the check-up.

Him "Hi Mr Rossc0, just wondering if you could tell me the symptoms of the problem?"
Me "Sure. I started it, it died with a loud noise and now it won't start"
Him "Right, we will see what the diagnostic tells me"
Me "I've been googling the symptoms, apparently 'timing chain tensioner failure' comes up quite a bit with these symptoms"
Him "That's not possible Mr Rossc0, your car is belt driven!"

That's why I never use the dealers for work on my car, 99% of them have no idea
