S5 timing chain - real problem?

Post by cupraandy » Mon Sep 19, 2016 4:12 pm

Hi all,

Ive just sold my 911 as the engine let go, so im a bit emotional and once bitten twice shy kind of mood. I was originally looking at chopping it in for a fast Audi, and ive just always loved the shape of the S5.

So, I was about to start the long search for the right spec, and then I came across the timing chain issues............ Is there a thread ive missed which explains this by any chance? Or any advise you can give me?

Many thanks for your help,

Andy
