2011 TSI Engine rebuild.

[Hough1981]

I have suffered from the dreaded timing chain tensioner failure. Had an independent VAG garage take a look, and they can see excessive damage on pistons 1 & 4. 

Does anyone have any recommendations for companies around the Yorkshire area who carry out engine rebuilding,reconditioning? 

Have been in contact with a company called Dal Jones in Kent who have quoted £1495+ VAT. Would prefer localish rather than shipping car down.

 

Thanks

Seems too cheap doesn't it?? What would they be doing?  Tread very carefully with engine rebuilders unless you can gain a personal recommendation even more so if they are remote from you!

Give these guys a call, for a comparative cost which I would expect to be more expensive for what the job likely entails.

 

I am pretty sure I have seen DAL Jones slagged off somewhere on here but couldn't seem to put my finger on it.

 

I have no experience of either rebuulder. Only that what  Halesowen engines said in the thread made sense and they advised against only a ring change on a 1.8Tsi. And their prices for a rebuild considerably more than what you are quoted.  I'd say £1500 would barly cover stripping down new timing chain related innards and some head repairs like valves. Pistons is going to be more. IMO...

They are closer, Birmingham but not what you would call local.
