Ten problems related to timing tensioner have been reported for the 2010 Volkswagen CC. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
After being parked in the driveway overnight the car would not start. It was towed to the dealer who diagnosed a slipped timing chain. An internet search revealed this to be a common failure with this engine due to a faulty design of the belt tensioner.
My timing belt tensioner broke causing my timing belt to break which in turn caused my engine to stall and die as I was turning in a residential area. I lost all compression in cylinders 2,3, and 4. I was told by a mechaninc I would need to have the entire engine replaced and was quoted $8000. 00 to get it fixed. I have had this car for 2 years and it has less than 100,000 miles on it and I still owe close to 12,000 grand on the car. To my knowledge this is a fairly common issue with this vehicle and that Volkswagen hasn't placed any recall or updated the part. I am just thankful that I wasn't on the highway or on a busy street because it could have put my life and the life of others at risk.
After getting to the 100,000 mile marker. My car begin to have a rough idle from the engine bay that could also be felt from within the car. I then took my car to the dealership in which they said it was misfiring and needed new spark plugs and coils. After paying for that I pick my car up from the dealership only to find out the engine light came back on once getting home. A couple weeks after that my engine started misfiring yet again we're even a worse engine rock. Finally got it into the dealership and they told me it's a bad tensioner chain and also that my engine has been affected by that. I would think they would have known the issue was that instead of the spark plugs and coil packs. Now my engine is a goner and I'm left with a car payment with no vehicle due to the faulty chain tensioner. I believe that if they would have fixed the problem when I took it in then they could have seen my engine from blowing. All they did was did a patch up with spark plugs and coils.
Out of no where my vehicle bucked and lost power. I was able to pull over and the engine failed to start. The vehicle was towed to my local vw dealership and diagnosed as a faulty timing chain tensioner. The repair would cost about $6500. Upon my research, I discovered that this is a pretty common issue among the 2008-2013 tsi 2. 0t engines. Over the years, dealerships had been made aware of the issue through technical service bulletins. Vw had failed to let the customer know about it or issue a recall and now I am stuck with a vehicle that doesn't run and can't afford to pay the outrageous amount to get it fixed.
The timing belt tensioner failed while driving. Lost power and required a tow. Damaged valves, warped head and pistons was an expensive repair. This appears to be problem for the 2. 0 engine as I've read that has occurred with many other owner's. Volkswagen should take responsibility for these repairs.
My Volkswagen Cc is a 2010 with under 65,000 miles on it and the timing chain tensioner failed. It broke off and actually cracked the head so that I need to put in a new engine to have a working vehicle again. This is going to cost me $4500 for a car that is not even 5000 miles over the warranty period. I bought this car 3 years ago and have only put 30,000 miles on it. All of the maintenance has been done at the dealership at a costly rate too. It does not seem like an engine should catastrophically fail with this few miles.
I went to start my vehicle parked in my driveway to go to work and the vehicle wouldn't start. I had just put fuel in it the night before so I knew that wasn't the problem. Had the vehicle towed to ase certified Volkswagen mechanic and they ran all tests to find that my timing chain tensioner was bad and needed to be replaced at a cost of $7400. I still owe $7k on the vehicle at this time. I don't have the funds to pay for this. The car has been sitting for the past 3mths. I am pregnant and am so glad that it didn't stop in the middle of the highway on me!.
Tensioner failed. Maintenance manual says the part does not need service before 120,000 miles, but tensioner failed at 105. Many lawsuits around the country. Volkswagen updated part for newer vehicles but doesn't want to take responsilibity for previous owner https://mccunewright. Com/vw-timing-chain-tensioner-defect/.
Timing chain tensioner stretched timing chain. Check engine light onparked. 3 class action suits against vw for fraud knowing this issue was present when vehicle was sold.
The engine began to stall while stopped at a traffic light and the battery light illuminated. I restarted the engine and continued. The engine failed again on the highway at full speed, total loss of power. This time the battery, check engine and epc indicators illuminated. Vechicle would no longer turn over and was towed to vw dealership. It has been diagnosed that the chain tensioner failed, causing the timing chain to lose position throwing the camshaft, rods and pistons out of sync resulting in total engine failure. My vechicle only has approximately 85k miles and there is no scheduled maintenance for the timing chain in the service manual until 120k miles. It's also unheard of for an engine of that mileage to lose timing while running and that it gave no prior warning to the impending failure.
