The timing chain tensioner in some 2016 Volkswagen engines may fail, leading to a loose timing chain, which can cause the engine to run poorly or not at all, and may result in significant engine damage.

Faulty ignition coils can lead to misfires, rough idling, and difficulty starting the engine. This is a common issue in Volkswagen engines from this model year.
