took my car in to the VW specialist a month or so ago to have the timing chain tensioner swapped out. it had a minor oil leak at that time (noted on the prev MOT and picked up by the mechanic at the specialist). they said they thought it was coming from the upper timing chain cover and claimed to have fixed it after putting new tensioner in.
noticed yesterday (don’t use my car much) that there is some oil spotting where it was parked. I know you can have oil leaks if the lower timing chain cover is not swapped out when doing the tensioner on the MK6 golf. they had planned to do that when doing the tensioner but the part was on back order so skipped it. but they did say they managed to get the old cover off and back on again with no issues.
what are the chances they’ll fix it gratis if it does turn out to be the lower cover causing the issue. expecting low-to-nil but I’ll phone them on monday
