Hey folks....
So, 2011 Tiguan with 101kms, had its timing chain just go and basically destroyed the engine, needing a rebuild and replacing valves/tensioner/gaskets. About a 5-6K job at the dealership. How long should a timing chain / tensioner generally last in a car?
I've been on calls with VW of Canada on just-out-of-warranty car that doesn't have any value with an engine, so trying to hold in any rage as we try and figure it out... any one else had one of these go? I see a class action settled in the US, however, looks like the Canadian dont take heed to the US side.
