VR6 Timing Chain Kit - Cheap Supplier From USA

[MK1Campaign 0]

I ordered a full VR timing chain kit from Four Seasons Motorsport for $195 delivered.

This only works out to about £98. It all arrived in under a week and when i opened the box all the parts are genuine VAG.

Very impressed.

 

Heres the link for anyone interested http://www.fourseasontuning.com/?product=14

Amazing Value, funny how parts made in Germany can be shipped to America and back and still be cheaper delivered to your door than it is to drive several miles to a VAG dealership and buy them there. Quite tempted by that, thanks for the info.

I expected it all to be Febi Bilstein stuff which is good but had a nice surprise when i opened the box.

Nice link mate, I've been thinking of using these myself but hadn't got around to it yet. Good to here it's all good stuff.

 

Did you ring them or order online?

[CorradoVR6-Turbo 0]

its all online but paypal only to the UK.

does it matter that stuff is for a 2.8 us spec corrado? or are most bits the same?

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Same.

 

Parts are cheaper in the states because they buy more of them, so get better discounts.

Loads of VR kit, even cheaper on things like ARPs etc it would appear?!?

Pray tell how?

 

It depends on the import / export codes used and insurance value.

Ive tried emailing them and they dont reply :bad-words:

[mariojoshi 1]

Ah nutsacks. I've just bought all the aforementioned bits plus a whole bunch more from TPS for considerably more than that.

 

If they're genuine VAG parts, that's an absolute bargain though! The timing chains alone cost more than that here...

H8RRA said he managed to get discount from VAG which got the prices close to the USA figure.

Im not sure how when one chain costs about £60.

is there a seal between the block and the chain covers, can't see one listed in the packs from fourseasons?

Isnt that an actual tube of sealant that you buy from VW?

Yeah, you just need a thin layer of sealant.

[CorradoVR6-Turbo 0]

there is a rubber o-ring seal for the tensioner,the rest is sealant,and four seasons supply all the rubber seals.

There is a little O ring in between the chain cover and the block which seals an oil way for the chain tensioner most people just reuse it, as said above there is no main gasket as such...just use some sealant.

Hi

Thinking about ordering a timing chain kit for my VR6 from FOUR SEASONS in the U.S.A, anyone had any experience of there kits and if they had any problems with them. They just seem like such a bargain.

cheers
