A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
So, I recently bought a 2010 VW CC. The biggest reason I bought this vehicle was because it uses a timing chain instead of a timing belt. Where timing belts require replacement at a specific mileage as per manufacture engines with timing chains do not require replacement. There is no OEM guide for replacement. So while driving my Grand Son home, the car stope running. Well now, lust so happens I happen to be an ASE certified auto tech. (40 plus years) I raise the hood and remove the oil cap. By doing so I can see the cam shaft isn't turning. SURE ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The timing chain has failed.
Upon further investigation VW was sued for failed timing chain tensioners. The time frame has passed to file a claim. Here's my beef. Because a timing chain doesn't require replacement at a specific mileage then why is there a time frame set? My engine is a total loss. I couldn't file a claim prior to it failing. Now that it has failed it's too late. That simply doesn't make any since. I know have a piece of junk because of a failed timing chain due to a faulty tensioner. The chain didn't wear out, the tensioner failed. That's VW responsibility no matter how many miles, or how old the vehicle.
I will never ever purchase another VW product and further more I intend to give my PROFESSIONAL OPINION and discourage every person i can from buying a VW product. Unless VW can show me a specific time or mileage to replace either the tensioner or the chains or both then there should be no limit as to the fix!! Signed one pissed off unhappy camper (PS not to mention the cost of the car that I'm out).
