The repair saga continues...Audi need the car for another week to complete the repair work. Timing chain tensioners on back order...

...and now they need more time after putting it all together to find that the timing is slightly out. Will this have caused damage?

I know of a case of intermittent misfire from back in 2012. 30K mile car (UK). Result of an endoscope look into the block was Audi replaced the engine. The thread is on another forum, but there is not much other detail. Speculation was some sort of failure with the bore.

Picked the car up this Friday, only to drop it back on saturday morning. Engine light came on! Vagcom says something about the timing being too advance/out. Not happy, is getting the timing right so difficult?
