Timing chain OEM Audi or OEM Volkswagen

We have our 2017 Golf wagon which it getting long in the tooth...timing chain maintenance is coming up very soon... Plus all major fluid changes(DSG, haldex, brake, coolant, etc...), but it runs well.

2.5 motors can go 600k on original chains.

My Q7 with the 3.0 Superchsrged has only adjusted timing due to chain wear by a degree or two from last I checked. 8 degrees is considered immediate chain replacement, and I have 100k miles

Front axels, timing chain and tensioner, and that’s it for 80,000 miles. I thought the timing chain problem was addressed by Audi. Nope. But love it and it runs great.

I love the ea888 2.0 in my 2012 GLI, but aside from water pumps, I've been pretty lucky with mine (knock on wood). Have 143K miles. Timing chain is reaching too stretched point; oil leaks from cam bridge, etc

My 2014 Passat with the 1.8T and automatic is at 175k. Timing chain is making noise so yeah that\u2019s due.

Check engine light came on in our 2014 Q5. Turns out the timing chain needs to be replaced. At the same time the vehicle is burning excessive amounts of oil.

I have 2017 Tiguan and took it to the dealership for all the servicing. I have been having engine issues since Sept 2023. The timing chain was replaced and ever since my engine has been losing oil.

I had my timing chains changed at audi dealership(A5, 2014, 2.0t) I had only 90000 miles, so it was preventative maintenance. After I changed the chains - sound of the engine changed - I started to hear something weird inside. Took it back and dealer said: it’s normal, maybe you have problem with belt or pulley.

I had a 2012 fabia with the same engine and it started rattling at 82k so I got it swapped. VW claim it’s a lifetime part, which I guess since the engine is scrap if it goes bang isn’t wrong.
