Hi all,
I eventually found my way here after my MK 6 Golf GTI 2010 suffered a total engine failure a few weeks ago.
I have posted details on another thread titled "total engine failure".
Basically, a piston has dropped down into the engine block and a piston has contacted the spark plug. Engine is seized. Most probably caused by a timing chain having slipped, so several mechanics think without stripping down the engine.
I live in Australia, and so am afforded quite consumer friendly fair trading laws.
I am coming to the opinion that VW knew that the timing chain tensioner was an issue on this 2010 Golf, which went on to cause a catastrophic failure of my engine. If can prove this in court, then the car was probably not fit for use.
As such, i am now considering suing VW Australia.
Thought on this please?
Also, does anyone know of any TSB relating to timing chain tensioners in Australia pls? My engine model number is CCZ
