So I went to start my Tiguan last night and it turns over but there's nothing. I called the RACQ to come out and have a look but had a feeling it wasn't going to be something they could fix.

The guy comes out and says there's no compression and that it is likely the cam belt. He also said I could be up for some major engine work if its done any damage to valves etc.

I wanted to check what other people thought it could be while Im waiting for places to open again on Monday. I've read that there's issues with the timing chain tensioner but I'm pretty sure mine has a belt not a chain. I also went through the log book and found that the toothed belt (same as the cam belt?) is meant to be replaced at 120,000 or 7 years. Mine has just ticked over 170,000. I've been servicing at the dealer since I bought it so I'm pretty annoyed if it has never been replaced and now I'm potentially up for some major repairs.

The RACQ guy recommended a place called Bavarian Motors at Brendale so I'd be interested in people thoughts on them as well. Though, if the dealer hasn't serviced it according to the log book I'm also tempted to head back there 1 last time and see if they will come to the party with wearing some of the cost
