Buying a 2009 VW Golf 1.4 TSi 122hp.. any advice?

[nicow9]

Looking into buying a 2009 VW Golf 1.4 TSi 122hp. 79,000km and in superb condition.

I've read different things about the TSi engines in relation to the timing chain.Some say they're a nightmare waiting to happen and some not reporting any issues at all.

Any advice from anyone?

I ran one, a 2016, for just under 2 years. Engine-wise, no problems at all. A leaky door-seal was the only real issue. I'd have another one.
