With no service interval to go by, you have to rely on common symptoms for diagnosis.?Symptoms include chain slap, due to worn tensioners and guide rails, causing a ?marbles in a can? sound.? Since the 2.0T?is an interference motor, a snapped or jumped chain means that valves can contact the pistons and cause catastrophic engine failure.
