In the Saturday Telegraph on 27 April, HJ said "The twin-chain systems on VW VR6s and smaller Nissans can stretch and break". As the owner of a Mk III VR6 Golf with 25,000 miles on the clock, I'd be grateful for any further advice or information about this. One would think that normal servicing procedures should take care of any risks, but perhaps extra measures are called for.

With a Nissan, yes, I'd worry but with the excellent engineering built into the VW, I wouldn't be unduly worried Roger.
Any unusual mechanical noise should be investigated, this goes without saying.

VR6Vento racing series a few years ago (the only way VW could offload VR6 Ventos).
They were a popular Q-car, saw many people caught out speeding by navey blue VR6 vento that looked very plain even with the BBS alloys, not so plain when the blue strobes started though :o)
