Engine Failure 2.0 Tsi

[Marshall]

Really hope this gets sorted and Seat get shafted.

If the cam chain tensioner is known to fail I wonder why SEAT didn't send an advisory letter to you to take the car in for the part to be replaced. I owned a Toyota in the past and I received two letters advising me to take the car in for work to be carried out, free of charge.
Apparently the cam chain tensioner failing is a known issue with the ccz engines in early 2009. Really pathetic response from SEAT UK.
If I sell my car I doubt I'll buy another SEAT or VAG car, especially if this is the type of response you're going to get.

Hope you never paid the thick end of £5k for it to fit in to something worth not much more together.

What did you end up paying mate? And are they 2 different engines? They look different!

No came to a agreement I was happy with and we will leave it there. Engines are same just new one has no ancillary parts on yet.

it's just the starter motor and a few other ancilliaries which need bolted on by the looks of it.
