Fozzi 0 Posted July 29, 2008 Thanks for bumping this thread - mine's getting serviced and MOT'd today so I've asked my mechanic to change mine to be on the safe side. I'll second that, need to put mine in soon so will add this to my shopping list! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drewiee99 0 Posted February 5, 2009 i had the cambelt done 2 years ago at midland vw dont know if they changed it or not? ive tried to get it out the other day but its proper stuck,i took the vbelt pulley off and painted it. How can you change it for a bolt off a mk1 anyway how can that be stronger the pg engine has load more bhp and torque? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtytorque 0 Posted March 14, 2009 what is a dx engine and where can i get one of the crank bolts from ? just buy a g60 bolt. The new ones are uprated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted March 16, 2009 as above, just buy a new PG (g60 engine) bolt as they've been uprated now... DX was a MKI Golf Gti 1.8 engine... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mimjed 0 Posted October 2, 2009 id just like to mention this isnt just g60 engines at risk. ive watched a this happen twice to the same diesel caddy van. well worth changing just to be sure. dont know if there are any vw workers that can find it when they changed the hardness of the bolt?

iMation 0 Posted February 8, 2010 ok got the main bolt and the 4 allen key smaller bolts, Jacked the car up to have a look, went to replace the allen bolts and noticing that two of the four already there were loose as hell, not even the same length as the OE parts. No wonder my pully is wobbling. So put the two new ones in, tightened up and gonna take it to a garage tomorrow to get the main bolt and other two allen bolts replaced. i dont have the tools to do it :S Would a wobble in the pully cause timing issues?

aussieveedub 0 Posted July 6, 2010 hi could anyone help me with where to get these bolts and washers as i have tried my local vw dealer and no joy mabe being in OZ has its disadvantages afterall :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTWG60 0 Posted July 6, 2010 I have a bottom end for sale if anyone suffers this issue with damage I also have a couple of PG crankshafts if people need a replacement! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerrly 0 Posted July 7, 2010 i really am quite confused by this. So what causes them to just break? my engine is on 92k and is due a cambelt soon so should i be making sure the bolt is replaced of do i not disturb it and work around it? Just seams odd that people have replaced theres and it has then gone on to fail - are people using the wrong torque settings or what? dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g60greeny 0 Posted September 4, 2010 my mistake,its now sheared off :( bad tiiiiiiiimeeeeeeeeeeesssssssss so do i need to use some loctite on the new bolt ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolrado 0 Posted January 23, 2011 according to this thread the torque setting for the crank bolt is 90Nm + 1/4 turn, which is what i did 6 months ago when i changed the bolt but according to the manuals here http://volkswagen.msk.ru/engine/aaa_pg/ ... nkcase.pdf (page 3) it should be 90Nm + 1/2 turn , now my crank bolt has come loose im starting to believe the later is correct, if thats the case anyone who has changed the bolt using the directions on this thread should change the bolt again and use the correct setting to avoid a potenially expensive failure. where did the 90Nm + 1/4 turn come from?

eddy.h 0 Posted January 23, 2011 i got some information form vw & it says 90 nm + 1/4 turn (90*) further bentley manual says 90 nm + 1/2 turn have don 3 g60 with no problem don to 90nm +1/4 turn i did use a small amount of thread lock mine wos don about 2 yers ago Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolrado 0 Posted January 23, 2011 Cheers, will make sure it's threadlocked this time. Was also looking for some info about the g60 crank locking tool, from the basic illustration I found it looks like it bolts onto the crank pulley using two of the 4 outer holes, the hub is off mine at the moment so I can't just put it in gear with someone on the brakes, I might get a mate of mine to make up a tool that uses all 4 of the bolt holes to hold it place while it is torqued up.

eddy.h 0 Posted January 23, 2011 vw tool number is 3099 i don't think they will seal it tho i will ask my parts guy at vw on friday & you need lock the flywheel not the pulley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
