I've seen several complaints about the timing belt tensioner failure resulting in full engine replacement, which is exactly what happened to us. My mechanic was able to find a salvage motor from another VW and have it shipped to replace it. Cost us around $6,700 just for that, not including tow bill, cost to drive something else while it was in the shop, inconvenience, etc. Nothing new to anyone on this forum, just saying, I'll never own another VW!
