It is common to get engine failure in Volkswagen due to a defective timing chain. The engine starts to rattle during idling and there is less power generation. Also, there is trouble starting the engine. See the given slideshow to know more about the defective timing chain and engine failure in a Volkswagen.

2. Timing chains are the
conductor of a car engine
because the chain links the
crankshaft to the camshaft & is
responsible for keeping the
valves of the cylinder head in
sync with the pistons of the
combustion chamber.

3. Volkswagen engines are
known for tensioner
problems that often lead to
a loose timing chain and
catastrophic engine failure.

4. A tensioner makes sure that
the timing chain is tightly
wound to the pulleys and
gears.

5. And when the tensioner fails,
then the chain becomes loose
and the timing of the engine
gets disturbed.

6. Symptoms of
a
defective
timing chain

7. Your car has a defective timing
chain or a bad tensioner, the
symptoms are the same in
both the cases.

8. Engine rattle
during idling

9. When a timing belt starts to
fail, it squeals. If you notice
your engine running rough
at idle, or while you are
accelerating, this is a sign
you may have a defective
timing chain.

10. When a timing chain starts
to fail due to slack, normally
caused by the belt
tensioners weakening, it
rattles and chatters.

11. You will be able to hear a
clicking, chattering noise
coming from the area
around your camshaft if
your timing chain has
slack in it.

12. Less power
generation

13. The timing chain turns
the camshaft. If your car
loses power, without
warning, your timing
chain might be loose.

14. If the timing chain is
not tight, then it will
not be turning the
camshaft at the correct
interval and speed.

15. This causes a number
of problems, including
your engine losing
power and a possible
decrease in
compression.

16. Trouble
starting the
engine

17. When you have a great
deal of slack in your car's
timing chain, your
Volkswagen may stall out
from time to time or
completely cease
operating.

18. If the camshaft will not
turn on your motor, your
car will be unable to
power the engine and
the car will stop running

19. The sensors in the
crankshaft and camshaft
get alarmed which
illuminates the check
engine light on the
dashboard.

20. Note

21. When you come across the
above signs, then it is
better to take your
Volkswagen for a check-up
at your car service station.

22. This ensures the quality of
your drive as well as the
performance of your
Volkswagen car.
