Re: !!Timing Chain Tensioner!!

Cars been into VW today, and they couldn't here the fault, said if it was the tensioner it would probably be constant not bits and bobs. What they suggested was a clip on the waste gate of the turbo, quite common apparently of this to happen to the engine and it gives it a metal rattle between 2-3k ...

Re: RNS 510 boot problems!

Scrap that, I've managed to update it. (Somehow) took me ages, but just ended up burning a new firmware CD VERY slow. 2x. Does anyone know how long the fans on the RNS510 stay on once the keys are out of the ignition? I hear a slight humming, but I have heard this shuts down after 20/45minutes, not ...

RNS 510 boot problems!

Anyone tech savvy with the RNS 510? Got a flat battery yesterday and ended up jump starting the car. Since then the RNS510 won't start kept going into a boot loop. I've tried the SWL fix and updating it again but it gets so far through and just shoves the disk back out again. It kept getting stuck o...

Re: !!Timing Chain Tensioner!!

I get a "scratching" noise between 2-3k rpm and think it's the chain on the casing. I'm taking it to an indie near me on Monday not sure on the price they'll charge, anyone give me a rough figure that they've have quoted/paid so I know if I'm getting a decent deal?

Re: !!Timing Chain Tensioner!!

Did your tensioner fully fail, or was it just in the process of going? Mine is currently going (can hear the chain a little loose on start up) but I'm doing minimal driving, it's going into the garage this weekend so hoping its just new chain and tensioner!

Re: Strange noise from DSG on cold (Video included)

Not sure tbf, not a wheel bearing and doubt it will be a brake disc, I'm guess its either the chain tensioner (common problem) or possible synchro rings. I've got it booked in at the garage this week so they can take a look. Here's another video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzGg6wVnc3o" onc...

Strange noise from DSG on cold (Video included)

Hi All, Last week I took purchase of a 2010 2.0 TSi DSG Scirocco the face lift version. 68k miles on the clock for a decent price. When it starts up cold in the morning the first change from 1st to 2nd (and 2nd to 3rd) seems to have a slight grinding or spinning noise from the right hand side of the...
