What is the problem with the VW EA211 engine?
Timing chain tensioner failure is a common issue in the volkswagen ea211 engine. The timing chain tensioner is primarily responsible for ensuring the timing chain is tight. When the timing chain is tight, the engine’s valves open and close at the right time. Timing chain stretch is an inherent issue in volkswagens, especially in the 1. Tsi engines. Chain stretch occurs due to the tensile force exerted on each link of the chain, exacerbated by the operating conditions of the engine.
