Re: Tsi reliability ?
The only other tsi problem I know is with the timing chain going out of synchronization... I am not quite sure about the mechanism of how it happens, but there have been a few complaints This happens when the chain tensioner starts to fail, resulting in the chain flapping around for a bit at startu...

Re: Tsi reliability ?
An official VW clutch release bearing ( central slave cylinder) cost me £84 about 6 weeks ago from my local VW, robbing bastards lol, but its a good quality part, with metal construction where as the original one was only plastic! But its good to get good parts when it comes to the clutch! Sent Via...

Re: Radio 510 am I being stupid?
Do you have the Bluetooth module below the driver's seat? Bluetooth was a cost option up until the last quarter of 2011 when it became standard. If it's an IPhone your trying to connect you need to use the MDI to 20 pin cable or a MDI to lighting connector, depending which model you have. As for Ha...

Re: Radio 510 am I being stupid?
Is it the original unit that came with the car do you know? Is it the RNS510 (4 buttons either side of screen) or RCD510 (3 buttons either side of screen) Do you have a multi-function steering wheel with a telephone icon on one of the buttons? As for the hard disk, how big it is? could be wrong but...

Re: Tsi reliability ?
Only common issue I've seen with them is on the clutch release bearing. That's on older cars though, I think it was revised around 2012? So not an issue if you're buying a newer one. :) Hiya, I have a 10 plate one so ill keep an eye, are they a expensive fix anyone know ? Thank you Sent from my SM-...

Tsi reliability ?
New Proud owner of a rocco, tsi 2.0 model after researching these forums for days, most mechanical problems seem to be aimed towards the petrol models rather than the diesel ones, is this a miss observation of mine, or as a rule are the diesels more reliable. Regardless I'm going to own a rocco, but...

Re: Couple of questions 2.0tsi
The tensioners "teeth" wear down and when the oil pressure drops off over night, when you start it up in the morning it rattles and them the noise goes away(about 1 second rattle) eventually it will jump a tooth and hit the valves. I've just had mine changed 2010 2.0 tsi with 28 k on the ...

Re: Couple of questions 2.0tsi
There is alot of panic about the chain which quick frankly I find baffling. There have been cases where its gone after 20k miles, and in 99% of the time you never ever here about this issue, but due to the sheer cost of when it does go everyone panics. That said don't think its not something which ...
