These is a freak occurrence, the tensioner is fine you can tell by the number of threads that are exposed. Someone did some work on this before and had no idea what they were doing. This engines are very solid.

Also props to you and the camerawoman. Appreciate the info

Helpful video. My 2014 VW Passat just had a similar issue with a rattling sound then a P0341 code. It is currently in the shop due to stretching of the timing chain and possibly more.

Great video!!!! I wish I had u as my v’dub mechanic.

Awesome job and well explained.’’’ Thank You.!.!

A smart and honest VW mechanic should make as much money as a doctor!

I'm getting ready to do a chain set on my 2017 TDI. I bought it at 40K. Has exactly the same symptoms.

Great video!

I`ve always wondered about torc when it comes to cars, (engines, and rims) because there`s never mentioned any lubricant with the torc . I work in the oil industri, and there is never any torc of bolts without a spesific lubricant. And there is also tables for what kind of lubricant to use together with the torc. My point is; you can`t supply a torc on dry bolts.

Hi it wd hv been helpful to have shown how the car sounded before disassembly

What causes a 0022 code even though I changed the cam position sensor and I changed the solenoid and magnet and wiring?

Similar symptoms and long cranktimes here... about how much will this run me?

unfortunately after removing my timing chain, my camshafts rolled clockwise 2 teeth. I then replaced my timing chain. now the timing marks line up on both camshafts but my problem is that the crankshaft sprocket marks are no longer at TDC. what should I do to align the crankshaft and the camshafts?

You lucked out by getting that exhaust camshaft when you did; they've been on back order for over 6 months! I don't know if you'll respond to this -- but I had to install a new intake camshaft in the car in a 2014 Jetta with a 1.8T; I have the service manual and have the cam set up in the install position, but it's slightly to the right of the timing marks on the cam girdle and I don't have access to the camshaft socket to slightly turn it to the left to line the mark up and put the lock in place. The crank is at TDC (or 1 tooth off at most). How the heck would I get the engine back in time?!

Wow very informative and they’re in GA

Volkswagen 2014 Passat 219km do I need to change the timing chain bill what service I need to do for the car and thank you very much

Hi , where are you located? I need to replace the timing chain before are gone!

Does it cause misfire ?

Mine just took a crap this morning. Raddle is bad and oil light flashing red

What does this 'fix' cost?

I am just wondering what part number you used? There are a million different camshaft part numbers.

Would you only replace timing chain if you received low oil pressure warrning? Is $1500 a reasonable cost to replace timing chain?

I had awful timing chain noise at 130,000 now im at 210,000 miles it says to change every 10,000 f that it stars to run like shit after 5-6k i started to use 5w 40 t5, hyper lube and tiny bit marvles mystery sound like bs but i promise i have no more start up noises no mor mis fire codes gas mileage is above 30!

How much for job?

How much that job cost?

App bill

Are you guys a Volkswagen shop or are they just THAT bad 😅
