OEM Volkswagen Timing chain

For reference, my 2017SE that I bought new and has been stage 1 since new car break in, has 197,000 miles on her. I last checked chain stretch maybe 3-4 months ago and was only seeing 1 degree.

Pros: low chain stretch, high durability
Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 317048 km

OEM Volkswagen Timing chain

I had a 2012 fabia with the same engine and it started rattling at 82k so I got it swapped. VW claim it’s a lifetime part, which I guess since the engine is scrap if it goes bang isn’t wrong.

Cons: rattles on cold start, stretches over time, not lifetime part
Vehicle: Skoda Fabia

The motor was in good shape but I replaced the timing chains anyway. The rails were actually in good condition but nice to have the piece of mind.

Pros: piece of mind

Ran 400 wheel horsepower on the OEM chain in my 16. Just did routine oil changes and shoved a fuckload of air into the motor but the chain took it with no issues. Until, of course, the motor exploded at 95k lol

Pros: handled high horsepower, no issues

Before you know it your timing chain stretches and the intake camshaft needs to be replaced. Damn POS. Because that’s what happened to mine.

Cons: timing chain stretches, needs replacement

Pros: one owner, it runs, and aside from the headlights, it's all stock Cons: Interior is rough, body has dings and dents, needs quite a bit I drove the 300 miles to Savannah to see it. Though I was after a high mileage example to stay under $10k purchase price, I'm not sure I was ready to take this on. But, it drove fine (albeit maybe it was too quiet). Chains have never been done, but there are no chain/guide noises. It starts right up and purrs quietly.

Pros: it runs, all stock
Cons: interior is rough

My wife\u2019s 2012 has been solid for last 5 years we\u2019ve owned it. The only major expense was a new engine due to premature timing chain failure.

Pros: solid for 5 years
Cons: timing chain failure

I have a 2014 Jetta 1.8TSI CPRA in my shop with 115Kmi and a broken timing chain. It's the first I've seen but still a sign of possible trouble with the T-chain on these engines.

Pros: sign of possible trouble
Cons: broken timing chain
