2014 Volkswagen Tiguan Engine Problems

“My Volkswagen Tiguan's check engine light turned on and the dealership said that the tension on the timing chain is outside safe parameters and can cause the engine to fail. My Tiguan is only a 2014 and only has about 80,000 miles. My understanding is that timing chains are supposed to last the life of the vehicle and it's only 4 years old.

“When I got into my 2014 Tiguan the check engine light was on. Since the car is only 5 months old I didn't give it much thought and figured it was something simple. About 10 minutes into my drive while I was slowing for a red light the car completely turned off. I restarted it and it was fine the rest of the drive.

“My vehicle stalls and completely stops at red lights, stop signs, and low speeds. Currently my vehicle is stalling and stopping at accelerated speeds at 20 mph.”

“My daughter has a 2014 VW Tiguan which had the Check Engine light come on at the end of July 2022. We took vehicle to the local VW Dealer who informed us that they found Code p0328 knock sensor 1 circuit high. Oil level said to be fine. Timing angle difference of camshafts said to be at a value of -5.76 degrees. Advised replacement of timing chain. Vehicle is 8 years old with 106,000 miles, but timing chain replacement is merely estimated at a least 10years and 125,000. …”
