Hello new member, looking to buy monte this weekend, question abt 1.2tsi timings chain?

Featured Replies

I've put down a deposit on a 13 plate monte 1.2 tsi (105bhp), I'm dude to travel down south to collect and pay balance this weekend. Just googled 1.2 tsi engine problems and found a lot about vag engine in 1.2 favour with a cam chain seem to be the ones that were "silently recalled". Some suggestion that modern vag engines with a belt in 1.2 tsi aren't effected. but I can't find out if the monte 13 plate vintage is the newer vag belt or the older vag chain type engine? Or did they iron out the offending engines prior to 2013, are engines produced since fine? Plus how many valves and cylinders should it have, again some suggestion of 8v but also 16v, please help. Is the 1.2 tsi one to avoid??? Thanks
