So there are plenty of scare stories online talking of stretched chains, chains that jump and failed tensioners. This usually results in either catastrophic engine failure or best case scenario, £1500 to replace with suitable and upgraded parts.
Realistically, is this really such an issue or is it uncommon? How many 2.0 TSI (08/09/10) owners have had issues and at what mileage?
