I have a 2011 2.0 SA match Tiguan an on Friday the cam belt went.
It has 76,000 on the clock and was due a cam belt change but just hadn't got round to it.
VW have investigated the reason for the Cam belt failure and it was the water pump and although I have extended warranty on the car the warranty company are saying as I missed the replacement interval for the belt they won't honour it.
i am currently in dispute as I have said that as the water pump was the root cause this should be covered, any thoughts?
i have had a quote of £1350 for a reconditioned engine and wondered if anyone could give me an idea what it might cost to swap over.
suffice to say I'm not a happy bunny and a bit peed of with VW at the moment as think a cam belt should last a bit longer than 76000 miles.

Any advice would be most welcome.
