What is it with VW/Audi/Skoda and their timing chain issues?!!?!?! In this day and age, how can a manufacturer have so many ongoing issues with timing chains.

Sometime in 2012, the timing chain and timing chain tensioner (which were common issues on this engine early on in its production) were revised - perhaps your car still had the old revision items.

In that case, you might want to get your dealer to check your timing chain tensioner is the revised part - as it will only cost you a very small amount to update this part while the timing chain is being replaced.
