Tks for your thoughts.
Interesting on the chain tensioner issue, I hadn't realised that was such a potential issue.
This doesn't seem to get the same level of internet scare mongering as early Porsche water cooled engines for example. Did VW revise the tensioner at any point in the models life?
Beezer diesel, tks I appreciate people will have tried the mark 6, hence my question, there doesn't seem much coverage on the mk6 forum or on here if you run a search.
Maybe mk6 owners have difficulty expressing their thoughts in words or are just arrogant...sounds ideal!
