2011 JETTA 1.4 TSI ENGINE OIL LEAK
There's an oil leak on my Jetta 1.4 TSI and when I took the car for a service they said they will have to strip the engine in order to identify the exact problem. This is worrying me as oil leaks are not covered by after-market warranty. Is this a common problem with these engines or what could be the problem?

So either it is the cover or the seal. By doing a little investigation surely they can see where it leaks form. has the cover been off to change chain and tensioners or is it untouched.

I am not sure if it has been touched but the dealership has suggested re-coating the entire engine. How much would it cost roughly to do something like that?

Seeing I have no idea what re-coating an entire engine involves I can't even begin to tell you a price. There is some communication disconnect or misunderstanding there.

The best is to let them give you a quote or a written note of what they say they want to do. Post it here somwe can see.
