Yup, the TSI. He literally just listened to it try and turn over for a minute. No symptoms before. The problem I'm currently facing is trying to find a mobile mechanic who will come out or a garage who will come and collect. No-one seems the slightest bit interested.....
Is that the TSI? There seems to be an issue with the tensioner more than the chain. But you would think there would be some symptoms before.
How did the AA man diagnose the problem? Did he plug the car into any diagnostic equipment.
