The timing chain may also break, so be sure to check it when the mileage is reached. If there is a problem, the benefits outweigh the losses.

The timing chain will also break, so remember to check the mileage. Hello everyone, I am Yi Xiu. Today, the store rescued a Volkswagen Tiguan that had been in production for 10 years. As the owner was about to take off the highway, he heard a crisp sound, and the EPC fault light directly lit up, causing the engine to shut down and unable to start again. After inspection, it was determined that his formal chain had been broken. Next, remove the timing cover for him and see what kind of state it is inside.

After opening the timing cover, it is clear that the timing chain has completely broken. When I take a look at his chain tensioner again, the automatically adjustable tensioner has now reached its maximum value. The chain also has significant wear and tear. There is a 50% chance that a timing chain like this will break directly at high speed, and the valve may also be bent and damaged at the same time. The lower cover plate of the timing has also been stretched out by the chain, which is severely worn and needs to be replaced at the same time. The front of the crankshaft on top has also aged and hardened, and there has been oil leakage before.

The car owner chose to believe in their luck. First, replace a brand new timing set with brand accessories, not the best timing set, including two tensioners, a set of guide plates, and three chains.

The engine of Volkswagen's EA888 has been driven for about 80000 kilometers, so be sure to ask the repairman to check the timing chain for you. For typical family sedans, it is recommended that car owners and friends pay attention to checking after driving 100000 kilometers.

Many car manufacturers promote and confirm that the chain is lifetime maintenance free. Actually, this is not right. As the mileage increases, the timing chain will also wear and stretch. Chains are also prone to wear and aging.

The official installation of this engine is still very simple, just mark the position of each chain corresponding to the different colors of the chain. Finally, install the remaining accessories. Wishing the car owner good luck. That's all for this video. Thank you for watching.

Check, if there is a problem, the benefits outweigh the losses.
