    Hi Lads, looking for some advice. I have an 08 1.8TFSI A5, (250K) unfortunately with out warning the chain has slipped on it, when starting it last weekend. The guys that have it at the moment (not Audi specialists) are saying it looks like 2 teeth have slipped on the chain. But not sure how bad the damage is. Talking about sending it out, and it could be a 1.5K job. Bar giving this to Audi themselves and get a new Engine,  anyone know of a TFSI specialist in the Galway / Limerick areas who reconditions these out?
    Am expecting the worst here, as given its prob worth max 6 or 7k,  Any advice truly welcome. P.S. the engine has high oil consumption given the inherent issue with these engines. But nothing crazy maybe a litre every 5 or 6 months.
    Thank John
