Super-G 0 Posted November 12, 2007 Having just bought a G60, I'm a little scared to use it at the moment, as I'm sure the crankshaft pulley bolt hasn't been replaced. I've purchased a new non-stretch one, as recommended, but am a little confused which bolt I should be replacing. Is it the centre bolt pictured below? Any help appreciate, so I can get out and drive without fear of my engine munching itself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alexander 0 Posted November 13, 2007 I've ordered one of these from VAG, be warned it's taken them over a week to get hold of one! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super-G 0 Posted November 13, 2007 Thanks 'Dirtytorque'. If it's not too cold this evening, mine may be getting done. I phoned my local VW dealer, who located the items at Lookers, up North. One phone call later, less than a 24hr wait and the bolt and washer have arrived. Just waiting on me to fit now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanVW 0 Posted November 13, 2007 Best not to leave it too long boys... There is a long list of G60 owners who have found out the hard way including myself (although mine worked loose rather than snapping thank god!!) BTW before you do it get back to VW and get new crank+ water pump pully allen bolts. As you can see from your pic they are not in the best nick and can be easily rounded after 15 years of numpty mechanics abuse! They are dirt cheap and always in stock :-) Well worth doing along with all your belts too! :-) Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
