Had this happen to me yesterday. Did a chain about two months ago and ran fine and fast then it all the sudden it died someone said it’s the kiss of death I really hope it didn’t jump timing. Any ideas??

$740 (main timing chain, chain guides, labor). The other parts, I already had.

I just replaced my timing chains/tensioners/rails in my car.
Info, pictures, resources, and tips in my build thread for anyone interested in doing the job.

Great write-up, thanks. Looks a lot less intimidating than I imagined.

If you read through the service manual and have all the correct tools it's not too difficult. Just take your time.

I have a 2013 GTI, 77k right now. I’m not sure if the build date is after 9/12 will look tomorrow but even if it is after, is it suggested to still change it as preventative maintenance? Cheers n thanks guys.

a 2013 should be in the clear. We can surmise that the tensioner was revised during the 2012 model year. Mine is a '12 and it has the revised version. You can always get in there and verify yourself for peace of mind.

How the hell does a OBD2 port module measure timing chain stretch when the chain is a mechanical part? Please enlighten us all.
