    1.4 TSI is a ticking time bomb due to timing chain stretch....

    Have very recent experience with having one fixed in low milage (<80kms golf) - costing the bones of e1500

    just google "VW TSI timing chain problems"

    Does this affect the 120HP 1.4 TSI? I thought it was just the twin charger versions.

    Does the timing chain issue affect the 1.2 tsi 105 bhp version ?

    Okay here are the sums for Petrol V Diesel.

    For 12,427 miles ( 15,000 Kms) 55 mpg diesel 48 Mpg petrol

    1,027 litres = 1.19 per litre = €1,222 Diesel.

    1,177 Litres - 1.30 Per litre = € 1,530 Petrol

    Now this is the average and not some BS "in town" or "on the motorway" calculation.

    In order to calculate the average per tank you don't reset the trip computer until after you fill up, then you take a reading when you get to the pump the next time. Resetting for a motorway or town trip is not accurate at all.

    So the difference is 308 Euro's, I think this reflects the real life difference between modern petrol and diesel.

    So why would anyone bother with diesel ? unrefined tractor engines, with a crap narrow power band.

    I pay about 50 Euro's for 2,000 miles in the Nissan Leaf but in reality I pay less because public charging is free but this is what it would cost if I charged on night saver for all my driving. I've driven 18,300 Kms since 15th January 2015 !

    I've driven 18,300 Kms so if I've averaged 18 Kwh per 100 Kms then 18,300 divide by 100 = 183 multiply that by 18 and that's the amount of leccy I used, = 3,294 Kwh. 3,294 Kwh multiply by the night rate electricity cost 263 Euro's for 18,300 Kms V €2,163 for Diesel for the same amount of Kms.

    This is excluding the free public charging I've got !
