Description of the problem	One night i parked my tiguan everything was ok, in the middle of the night my wife was getting ready to go to work couldn't get the car started. Next morning i rented an obd2 scaner and read the codes. Had the car towed to the dealer ship. Next day they called me and told be because of the timing chain tensioner failing my motor basically grenaded and they needed $7216 to repair. The car had 62k miles and it was 6 months passed warranty. I contacted customer care and they only agreed to cover 50% which leaves me with 3k bill that i couldn't have avoided. I never knew the tiguan had a 10k mile oil change service so i always changed at 3k. How could have i avoided this failure.
