Chain replaced yesterday.... And what else can I say other than.... My 2.0 tfsi no longer sounds like a diesel!!!!
even tho this wasn't the main concerning issue, I strongly advise anyone that has any doubts with the chain and tensioner, to get it looked at by an audi master tech. I had 10 mechanics tell me I was being paranoid and they are a noisy engine, only 1 mechanic confirmed my concerns. Funny enough this was the mechanic who fixed it in 3 hours and told me it was ready to fail at anytime...... But even with 97k in the clock the variater showed no signs of play and didn't need to be replaced.
so the overall cost.....
parts including all gaskets, chain and tensioner £155
All tools for the job £95
labour £150
if anyone requires the part numbers for the tools and the chain etc, I will post on request.
bye bye diesel....hello quiet running tfsi :-D
