Leonard 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Hey thanks m8 that is great! Just trying to decide wether to do everything now whilst I change the clutch or wait a bit longer... :confused4: If you have the Wiki guide you can email me that would be superb Matt :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted January 30, 2009 theres a brand new kit for sale on ed38 mate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mariojoshi 1 Posted January 30, 2009 If your gearbox is coming off.... I'd say defo do the chains! Most VRs are certainly coming up to the point where they could do with a check. However, you're in a good position to actually have a physical check over them and see what's what. If the car is going to be off the road for a week or so, could always wait, inspect and then do it if need be. What's your mileage? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonard 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Well that's the thing car has 'only' done 84k and feels pretty tight. Certainly not very noisy. But then I thought I may as well get my local guy to do the chains whilst he is fitting a clutch. Then when I take car to Stealth after that to get the 263 cams and VSR fitted get new tappets then. Do I need new valve stem as well? They arent the same as tappets are they??? :confused4: LOL Cheers guys Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gogsboy 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Is that all compatible kit then? All VR's identical as far as chain parts go? Can this also be bought from Ford Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonard 0 Posted January 30, 2009 heres the link mate http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.p ... pic=204098 Cheers bud. I have just bought those exact ones off the same guy ending his auction early on ebay :lol: Could have saved myself £2 if I had seen that Edition Ad earlier :grin: Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MonkeyVR6 0 Posted January 30, 2009 What mileage do the chains need replacing? I've just passd 90,000 miles and my engine is noisy :confused4: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted January 31, 2009 there is also a kit on ebay at the moment, brand new, might be the same one mentioned already Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Storm Warning 0 Posted February 18, 2009 How likely is it that the flywheel needs doing too when changing the clutch after 100,000 miles? :confused4: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mariojoshi 1 Posted February 18, 2009 I'd imagine unlikely?! Never heard of anyone replacing a flywheel.. other than to get a lightened version. Please correct me if I'm wrong guys! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonard 0 Posted February 18, 2009 Certainly not planning on doing mine when I get the clutch done next week! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MonkeyVR6 0 Posted August 19, 2009 Have this major job coming up me thinks. Am replacing the gearbox at the end of the month anyway, so figure I might as well do the rest of the stuff. I don't suppose that anyone knows if I were to supply the parts for a garage what is the average amount of labour they'd charge? :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Joni 0 Posted August 19, 2009 To replace the gearbox, its no more than an extra hour to do the chains so definitely worthwhile. VW quoted 10-12 hours (none of the mechanics there had done it before though) so would be in excess of 1K. I recon a specialist could do it in 8 though and that's being generous. So it all depends on what the hourly rate is. I did it on the drive in 4 or 5 evenings taking it steady, unless you've never used a spanner or have no tools its easily do able by yourself, plus a friend for gearbox handling. Have a quick read through the guide on the wiki. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MonkeyVR6 0 Posted August 19, 2009 Well my mate and I are changing the gearbox and clutch anyway, of which he's more than capable, although I didn't know how easy it was (or not) to do the chains and tensioners...people seem to make quite a big deal of it.

KIPVW 0 Posted August 20, 2009 Certainly not planning on doing mine when I get the clutch done next week! Dont be daft!!! Get it done while its off, i know of a very well respected chap on here who's tensioner was in bits with only just over 70k on the clock and this was down to low miles not high miles. It's a complete no brainer to me if the gear box is coming off :wave: :cuckoo: :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL My gearbox has been off and on more times than my underpants the last 6 months! Complete nightmare :( Anyway my chains are all done now. As you say my upper tensioner was down to the rivets on my 84k car. I honestly dont believe there can be any VR's out there now that don't require the chains doing.

Matt When mine were done at just over a 100k there was barely any wear on tensioners, I guess you just don't know until you get at them. On the other hand my clutch was quite worn and there was a couple of hair line cracks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
