It'd completely depend on what the engine problem was! I'm not a mechanic, so I can't really get more specific.
But I could say that the only 118TSI engine problems reported on this forum, happen on the stock ECU. Although it could still happen on an aftermarket ECU, VW aren't going to blame it on that when you can turn around and present many cases of it happening on the stock ECU.

You will find that so called 'clonking sound' (bit of an over the top description in itself) is simply because the engine is Direct injection.... I myself agree it's not the most comforting sound but you will HAVE to get used to it... It's not the engine being damaged it's simply because these types of injector are much louder than port injection. Most noticable when LABOURING as well as when on idle an starting.
