| Description of the problem | Dealership informed us timing chain needed to be replaced and manifold would be replaced under warranty. After replacing timing chain, they notified us manifold was already replaced on vehicle and it also needed new valves due to being bent from bad timing chain. Many other vw owners have experienced timing chain issues. These issues started while the vehicle was in motion and while driving led to extreme shaking and noise at low speeds. Vehicle felt very unsafe to drive and was promptly taken to dealer. |
