Description of the problem | Out of no where my vehicle bucked and lost power. I was able to pull over and the engine failed to start. The vehicle was towed to my local vw dealership and diagnosed as a faulty timing chain tensioner. The repair would cost about $6500. Upon my research, i discovered that this is a pretty common issue among the 2008-2013 tsi 2. 0t engines. Over the years, dealerships had been made aware of the issue through technical service bulletins. Vw had failed to let the customer know about it or issue a recall and now i am stuck with a vehicle that doesn't run and can't afford to pay the outrageous amount to get it fixed. |
