Hey guys,

I recently just bought a new-to-me 2012 mk6 gti with 153k km on the clock. And just the other day I heard rattling coming from the engine on cold starts. I contacted vw in wangara and have booked in an appointment for them to look at the car on friday 10/11/2021 and see what has happened. I suspect the timing chain needs replacement. I also asked eurospec and got quoted $2200 including parts and labour :'(. Just wondering if any of you have replaced a timing chain with any other dealer or private mechanic and how much it dented your wallet. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
