newbie with timing chain issues! :(

[merlynreuter]

Hello all…

Am new to the forums… but have owned my 2010 passat r36 wagon for 2 years now… its my work and family car… and as a vehicle we LOVE it.
Has been pretty flawless for the first 2 years… but now we have his a speedbump
We are out of warranty and just hit 100,00kms.
And upon recent service we have been diagnosed with the dreaded timing chain issues and all that comes with it…

Has anyone had success with getting VW to fully cover the repairs when out of warranty? My bill quote has come to 5600 bucks… and with a goodwill claim it comes down to 3300.
Could be worse… but in all honesty these faults should be part of a recall…. And VW should be covering in full or at least most of it…

Thoughts or experiences would be much appreciated!!
Need to act on this one asap… car is stuck in the shop and want to sort it out…


Cheers
merlyn

Welcome mate. Post the the passat forum section with your questions for a better response from other owners

Give your insurance a call, they may cover the costs for you and you will be just left with the excess.
