Translated this to the below

Volkswagen's 1.4-liter petrol engine is prone to ausleiernden timing chains - may cause serious engine damage.

AUTO BILD liegen 61 Schadensmeldungen bei Touran, Golf und Tiguan 1.4 TSI vor.

AUTO BILD are currently 61 reported losses in Touran, Golf and Tiguan 1.4 TSI.

More and more chains of control in certain VW engines make far too early limp. According to information from AUTO BILD (issue 10/2012, from 9 March in the trade), it comes with some VW engines to more problems with worn timing chain. Affected is the 1.4-liter TSI engine. AUTO BILD are 61 before damage is similar to reports in Touran, Golf and Tiguan. The outages affect timing chain, chain tensioner and cam plate. This results in costly engine damage. The evaluation of the AUTO BILD grief box showed that most defects in the VW Touran compact MPV built between 2006 and 2007 occurred (1.4 TSI with 140 hp, engine code BMY) - typically at km stalls 40000-70000. The damage often announce themselves by rattling after a cold start or a lit check engine light

Normally, the timing chain to keep the car's lifetime. This was confirmed by VW at the request of AUTO BILD. The chain was "interpreted the life of the engine" on. Among the possible causes of damage to VW wants to say not. Remain speculation only: Engine expert Fritz Indra, of the University of Vienna. "First, would I be thinking of material problems of a supplier can be ruled out that, for example, engine vibrations at certain speeds, questioned what the timing chain in the long term overload This would also explain why. the damage in some models frequently occur. "

Despite the large number of complaints Kummerkasten-Volkswagen talks about individual cases, in different versions of this engine. Goodwill is full then it is merely a vehicle up to three years old, one year after the factory warranty, with a maximum of 100,000 miles. With up to six years of cars with more than 200,000 kilometers VW granted after examination of the case, then pro rata reimbursement, if the holder can prove uninterrupted service interval work according to manufacturer specifications.

Wouldn't 140hp BMY be the twin-charger? That's not the engine used in the Yeti.

The time chain ...should be forever...

A timing chain is made of metal and therefore can wear, stretch and generally cause problems. There are numerous motorbikes that have 'common' timing chain/tensioner issues (chains are more prevalent in bikes than belts).
