anyone in the uk supply the same kit..? or do you have to buy it all seperate...?

[volksworld13 0]

i think you can only buy it seperates from the dealer, no such kit exixts from vw as a genuine item. not sure about after market items. from other motor factors.

yeah dealers and gsf dont stock a kit, the dealer laughed at me saying they never replace the chains..??!!

 

is there a list of the parts then.. use`d the search but cant find one list of parts..

Didn`t scroll down that far but stand corrected... another maybe daft question but if its the tensioners that break then do the actual chains need replacing...?

[volksworld13 0]

to be fair while your in there, it just makes sense, considering the box has to come out, chains do stretch.

[Jim 1]

Agreed. Chains definitely stretch with age - that's the purpose of the tensioners! As volksworld13 says - for what they cost, and for the effort of getting in there and replacing them, you really should do them as well.

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Difficult one on the chains. Personally I would, even though on the 12V it's not common for them to stretch or break.

 

The 24V is a different matter! The intermediate shaft pulley wears out and the cam chain definitely does stretch, especially in MK4 R32 engines.

[C5 OEM 0]

Difficulty i have is that the clutch was done only 22k ago and the chains and tensioners were checked but i have not seen them myself or have proof..

Have had a good quote for fitting them so will have them done and fit my cams at the same time, just need to source the parts now

are all the parts the same..? golf and corrado..?

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Late Golfs got a single upper chain but otherwise Golf and Corrado parts are the same. That kit definitley is as it's got the duplex upper chain.

[volksworld13 0]

is this going ahead, as i need a timing set, and just wondered if we are doing a group buy?

[daves16v 1]

Yep I'm interested too.
