Timing chain OEM Volkswagen or OEM FORD

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.

My 4.0 V6 Mustang has not jumped timing and destroyed the engine despite the 4.0 being infamous for it at very low mileage. It's probably because I actually take care of my car and change the oil regularly.

2.5 motors can go 600k on original chains.

I ended up spending 800 on genuine ford parts and did pulled the motor myself and took it as a challenge. Took me a month because I had to reorder parts and I was working a lot. The job is very hard and complicated and I have been working on cars for a good while. The good news is it runs like a champ now and it’s got 250k miles and I’m gana milk this truck for all it’s worth lol.

I also have 2017 Tiguan with 160,000 km. Just had mechanic check it as I heard rattling on startup and they recommended replacement.

After doing a complete OEM parts timing job my numbers were actually initially worse 7 and 8. After driving the car for 1 tank of gas the 209 number went slightly down to 4 and 208 stayed at 7, also 90 and 91 are still flip flopped.

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

About 145k timing chain started slapping

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.

on the Ford 4.6 around 175k you need to do an engine out service to fix timing chains because a nimrod at Ford put them against the damn fire wall.
