Hi guys,
I have always parked in gear (no handbrake, just left in first or reverse..... Unless on a hill then I include the handbrake)
When talking to a friend who was researching golfs he found that the 1.4TFSI (chain driven cams) seemed to have a problem with jumping teeth, subsequently blowing the engine, when people parked in gear.
This got me thinking about the safety of leaving the civic parked this way.
Has anyone had or heard of any problems in doing this?
Thanks,
Jack
