The TSI engine overall is a much better engine though (barring the chain tension in early version) it has so much more scope for power and the torque when mapped blows the FSi /TFSI (K03) away.

As RocketRossUK advised, the work on mine has started. Good news until Ben rang to say we found some other issues, not only did the chain, tensioner and various guides need replacement, but one of the bearings had collapsed for one of the camshafts !!!! :cry:. But no problem VW would pick up the bill :smiley:. Pic below (hope it works !!!!!) of the wear by the failed bearing. Had it seized then the damage would have been a lot worse. Glad I got it sorted now.

Also forgot to mention that when the chain and tensioner gets changed it needs a full oil change as standard. My major service is due soon he said he would do the full major service for £199 as it will be getting brand new oil anyways. Results !!!  :smiley:

No not good at all. Car was booked in for a service anyway, so good timing really. Apologies if I have delayed yours but I guess they don't know what they will find until they open them up. Fingers crossed yours will be straight forward.

Update, mine now back and cannot believe how quiet it is now. Bill was a fraction of what it should have been, very satisfied with the results, just a shame VW cannot do the right thing to start with.
