1 Timing Tensioner problem of the 2009 Audi A3

Failure Date: 08/20/2019

Audi / vw had a class action lawsuit on this cars timing chain and timing chain tensioner. The extended warranty has expired. Mine broke at 95000 miles. So I'm sure there are other Audi owners that don't even know this happened. This is costing me over 1000$. And should of been a full recall, not this other bs. It is leaving us high and dry. I hope you can do something about this. Thanks.
