daves16v 1 Posted March 12, 2014 Hi all, I'm swapping the chains and tensioners over from my buggered engine to the replacement, now do the chains have a direction of rotation as per the Bentley manual (arrow on chains) or not as per the Wiki guide? I have genuine VAG chains with no direction arrow. Also on the lower chain tensioner can I press the pad back in before I re-fit? It doesn't seem to want to push back and I don't want to force it.

Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 12, 2014 I couldn't see the arrows on mine either. I wondered if they meant you should mark them if taking them off and back on again. Can't remember the lower tensioner bit. But seem to recall maybe pushing something with a screwdriver then squeezing it. Might of been something else though. It's all a blur. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted March 12, 2014 Sorted the tensioner pad, there's a hole for a small screwdriver that releases it, it's actually in the Bentley manual. Fitted the chains both ways and there was no difference, they've only got about 1500 miles on them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
