Hi guys,
Unfortunately my timing chain jumped. Had it replaced at 160k and drove with the replaced one until 348k.
- Regular oil changes, did not notice any performance issues during that time, cold rattle noise for a bit but had that even when it was replaced.
Car is at the moment with the garage to get it fixed, only if the costs are not running up as crazy. Hope it can be saved/fixed for a decent price.
I'll let you guys know if I got an update.
So just an reminder, if you didn't have your chain replaced yet. Check just to be sure to avoid this stuff.

Hi all,
It's been a while but the jumped timing chain did enough damage so I got rid of the car. It has been a fun car so as a public announcement, please check or replace your timing chain + tensioner if not done already to avoid this situation. Thank you for the forum, it helped me a lot.

Re: 1.4 TSI 2010 - Timing chain jumped
Some minor details, the cylinder heads were already messed up but this just made them worse beyond repair. It could've been repaired/rebuild but as the car already had 340k KM, it wasn't worth it.
