I really like my 3.2 vr6, but replacing the timing chain on that engine turned out to be very expensive.
Just gonna put my 2 cents in, the slow crank is either the starter or the battery. At that age, if the battery tests good it is the starter.
For reference, my 2017SE that I bought new and has been stage 1 since new car break in, has 197,000 miles on her. I last checked chain stretch maybe 3-4 months ago and was only seeing 1 degree.
Over the weekend I finally got the brakes to cooperate, so it's just about time to get a few test runs in.
Never in my Mk7. But in the CPO Arteon, I got flashed at quite a bit. I adjusted them down.
I know that I went through my first set of rears rather quickly on my VW ID3.
Had to replace oil pan at 80k due to leak , ended installing a metal one rather than the OEM plastic .
Full replacement in October and 3 star chips filled this month. The replacement was a nightmare, they ordered OEM, but didn't realize there are different windshields for different trim levels until they'd installed it and couldn't connect the rearview mirror. Can't say its a defect since it was a decent sized gravel each time while driving 75.
in the last 13 months of owning an ID.4 I've had 4 cracks, 2 requiring replacement. All cracks have been with OEM VW glass installed at the dealer. I'm at the point where I'm afraid my insurance will drop me if I make any more claims.
I've got a '23 VW. Fluid smells sickenly sweet, like burning antifreeze. I'll be glad when it's gone.
