How Many Kilometers Should the Timing Chain of the Tiguan Be Replaced?

[VonPaislee]

The timing chain of the Tiguan should be replaced every 150,000 to 200,000 kilometers. During this period, owners should have it inspected at a professional repair shop. If the timing chain is severely worn or if there are other engine issues, timely repair or replacement is necessary. The timing chain drive method is reliable, durable, and space-saving. Its main function is to drive the engine's valve train, ensuring that the intake and exhaust valves open and close at the appropriate times to allow normal air intake and exhaust in the engine cylinders. Signs of timing chain failure include unusual engine noises, difficulty starting, increased fuel consumption, increased oil consumption, severe exhaust emissions, sluggish acceleration, the engine's yellow warning light, and insufficient power, among other issues. Methods for inspecting the timing chain: Check the timing chain for elongation, wear, or breakage. If there is minor damage, replace it immediately. Use a spring scale to measure the elongation at three or more points. If it exceeds the specified length, replace it promptly.
