Hi all – just after thoughts and opinions on the 2.0 Tsfi engine? I’ve heard mixed reports of reliability and wanted to check how true these are? Are they niggles or potentially catastrophic issues?
Specifically I’m enquiring on a 2010 Octavia Vrs though it’s obviously the same engine as in the mk5 Golf Gti from a couple of years previous.

Thanks all so far. To confirm it's the mk2 vrs so has the chain driven motor rather than belt. It's also before the uprated tensioner was fitted I believe late 2010 to early 2011.
