The Timing Chain in the Volkswagen Passat maintains a perfect balance between the camshaft and the crankshaft, thus offering drivers a sense of power, silence, and durability. The chain is made of an anti-corrosive alloy and is always immersed in oil such that, with time, the heat and friction that destroy rubber belts are not experienced and, therefore, the chain can be changed after a short period and the owners can enjoy the ride. Its design is customized to fit anything between a small four-cylinder and a beefy V6 installation with guides and a hydraulically dampened tensioner that ensure the correct slack is precise regardless of the rpm. Such flexibility ensures that a single proven element serves many generations, allowing the car maker to simplify the delivery of parts and guarantee similar performance to the drivers of the B5, B6, or later Passat models. Each additional drop of efficiency counts, and the perfectly tuned valve timings provided by the Timing Chain are directly converted into lower emissions during combustion and higher fuel efficiency during extended highway trips. Safety is another beneficiary since accurate timing will ensure that valves are not caught by falling pistons, allowing disastrous collisions that may otherwise tie down travelers and leave wallets empty. At healthy oil flow, the system operates nearly silently, which is a pleasant improvement compared to older gear drives, which rattled at idle. In the event of lubrication failure, a slight rattle would be an early warning, and those who are keen enough would have enough time to do something before the damage is caused. This ingenious combination of longevity, flexibility, and sonorous balance places the Timing Chain at the core of Volkswagen's mechanical reliability, which solidifies its image as one of the features in the current saturated automobile industry.
