It started out with rough idling when stopped at traffic lights without any warning signs/messages. I had to rev it up to keep the engine from stalling. Took it to the dealer, they said that the cam shaft was loose. They replaced the cam shaft, timing chain tensioner, cam bridge. Still having same problem, but now some check engine code showed up. They looked at it again and found out that one of the cylinder had very low compression. They opened it up and saw piston/cylinder #1 was damaged, and suggested engine replacement. Repairs covered under extended warranty. I suspected that the tensioner cause the problem in the first place, but since it's a known problem with 2.0T engine with previous model years, but they don't want to admit it.
Car was overheating. Volkswagen dealer changed thermostat and water pump.
