Well this vehicle came in for a diagnostic check… just in time.
After we scanned system the result was clear the timing chain had jumped.
Lucky for the customer, because there were three teeth out and that can end up causing a major problem by bending the valves and could be fatal for the engine.
The tensioner and chain had to be replaced which solved the problem.
It is a common problem not only with Audi but many other makes and models of car.
Every vehicle that comes in for a service is scanned and if there is a cam-timing problem, chances are that we will detect it before it is a problem.
