2007 Volkswagen Touareg Engine Problems

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (MIL) CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. I EXPERIENCED A LACK OF POWER AND PERFORMANCE. HAD IT CHECKED AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND THEY SAID THE TROUBLE CODE WAS FOR CAMSHAFT/CRANKSHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR. I REPLACED BOTH CAMSHAFT SENSORS AND THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND RESET THE CODE. 400 MILES LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY SAID THE TIMING CHAIN HAD STRETCHED AND WOULD NEED REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF $2500. THEY ALSO MENTIONED CHANGING A PROBLEMATIC BOLT ON THE OIL PUMP, SOMETHING THEY SAID HAD BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE 3.6 LITER V6.
