chain snapped

I have a 2.4 swb mk6 and the timing chain has snapped do I look for a motor or could I get away with a new chain kit ?? if anyone could help it would be great ....martin

I think usually you get a valve strike which rips the top and bolts etc so you should check it, if there's no damage to the valves or cam cradle then you may get away with a new chain/tensioner and guides etc.
Might want to check the crank and all gears/pump etc turn as they should.
Not uncommon for a chain to snap i guess but I'd be expecting the tensioner to go 1st unless previously it did and they never replaced the chain?
