With normal city driving speed engine rode rough and then stopped. Towed to Audi dealership where they diagnosed a timing chain tensioner problem like many others, but even though mine is the same issue, it is not part of the current settlement class. Cost to repair is more than $6,000.
Timing chain and/or timing chain tensioner failure on my vehicle. This same issue is iin a class action lawsuit. My vehicle engine size and year are listed but my car is not covered. I have they exact same issue with my vehicle and will have to pay thousands of dollars to have repaired. I feel like this issue should be extended to other VIN #'s that are having the exact same issue but are not being acknowledged by Audi. The vehicle barely starts and does not have any power when moving forward. It was in motion.
