Re: How many chain tensioner failures on here?

I have a 58 Plate 2.0tsi and had a failure at 75000 miles last week. My advice is get the tensioner replaced .. My bill was 1.9k and No goodwill but thankfully the dealer cut bill to 1.3K (still ££££). It could have been ALOT worse and at one point they were talking about a new engine if there had b...

Sudden Failure - Timing Chain + Tensioner replacement

Just a warning to all - A couple of weeks ago I had a sudden problem with 2.0tsi 2008 78k miles scirocco on a gentle drive to the shops where the idle went all over the place and there was a loud metallic tapping sound when you used the gas.. The engine was running horribly rough suddenly from being...

Re: 2.0 TSI - my new fuel record

I find MPG sticks around 33mpg with a mix of mostly motorway + some urban driving..
40+ mpg is easily achievable although but most motorway runs average about 36MPG :)

All coils and all plugs removed - plug one had apparently been hit by piece of inlet manifold causing minor damage to ...

Re: 2.0 TSI rough idle

Car has been back in to VW - they actually offered to take in for free this time seeing as problem was not resolved which i'm really happy about. After doing a fair bit more investigation and testing they checked the spark plugs - one of which was apparently damaged in some way. There suspicions are...

Re: 2.0 TSI rough idle

May look into the throttle body reset if the issue continues on a couple of weeks. Thanks Shak. I also had a throttle body issue when first buying the car at 50k miles (EPC light intermittent) - I got throttle body replaced and had no other problems. I think the issue was the some liquid/lubricant w...

At the the time I did not notice any problem and continued to drive around 5000 miles. Last week however I filled with 95 RON fuel - would...
