Latest main dealer quote is £800, including new cover, bolts and seals. According to my dealer, that part number is on back-order (tensioner). I wonder whether they're revising it again...... As soon as it comes in, mine will be done.

£800....sack that. Its only a £1000 (plus the part VW contribute) if it actually breaks.....

If it was £200 - £300 i might do it.

I'm sure someone got it done for about £260 by an independent in East Yorkshire, sure I remember reading it on here somewhere!

Yeah def gonna get mine done but still have 10 months warranty left! Asked the dealer if they would change as there was a problem with the design and they said that they had not heard of any problems with it! So I asked them to make a note so when or if it goes it will be "told you so!"

I was quoted about £350 from an indy specialist to replace the tensioner and was quoted the following from a main dealer:

Total £1177.21 (Ex Vat)

- Parts £273.91
- Labour £637.31
- Oil about £70

Estimated to be 7.5 hours work. Both tensioners and guides + chains needed replacing to guarantee the work. I'm fairly sure someone posted similar in this or a recent thread.

I know the forum makes it seem worse because people document it. Do we have an idea of how many have actually broke in relations to how many MK6 GTIs there are. Does it also effect the 1.4 TSI?
