Turbo failure due to internal mechanical failure. Vw would not pay any of the repair cost of $2697 due to year/mileage of vehicle. Dealership diagnosed check engine light and said that it was unsafe to drive off the lot because driving without a functioning turbo will destroy the engine.
The contact owns a 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan. While starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was immediately towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the timing chain skipped and destroyed the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000.
The check engine light came on. Took the vehicle to dealer and the diagnose came misfire from clyander 2. They told me it was a carbon built up on the valves and it's not covered under power train warranty.
I started up the car and multiple dash warnings then went off. The epc light, check engine light and the head lamps warnings all turned on. I then popped the hood and opened up the fuse box to make sure the fuses were seated correctly. Upon checking the fuses I noticed the box itself was melted and scorched meaning there had been fire at some point under the hood. I then took my Volkswagen to the closest vw dealership service station. It cost $400 (michigan) to replace the fuse box, also leaving me questioning if this will happen again. After some investigation online I found that this is not rare. The vw dealership that did the repair stated that this was the 8th one he himself has done. Hopefully this does not happen again. Lights randomly going out is a safety hazard,and could lead to car accidents, injurys, and fatalities.
