What got Honda and Toyota such a loyal following was that if you took a dealer serviced vehicle in with 100,000 miles and this happened, you would either leave with a rebuilt or a new engine under good will.
If you take a VW serviced vehicle in at 65,000 miles with this problem, you will leave service with a "this is your effing problem." and a visit from sales. "We would think this would be a good time for you to buy a new VW. Oh, your trade in value... yeah, too bad about that. But why not trade it in anyway. The longer you keep it the more it will cost you."
Anyone is welcomed to disagree with me, but I feel strongly that if you have a vehicle factory serviced and all maintenance done at the dealer, then problems like a bad timing chain should be covered. Either it was a bad chain from the factory or bad engineering. Proper maintenance to me means at least 150,000 to 200,000 on a chain.
