[glenn_brough 10]

Hi please can some one help me, iv been looking for an upper timing chain for the vr6 ayl lump and iv rang to people that say the AAA is probley a different chain to the ayl engine, yet some places seam to say the chain is the same

can some one tell me if the chains are the same or if they are different from both vr6 2.8 engines

sorry dont have an exact answer but with something like this idd go to vw dealer parts counter and ask them for a price on the parts and part numbers, then you know 100% what your getting, if you have the chassis number of the car that engine came from then it would make it alot easier,

I can't say for sure but I'd imagine it's to do with whether it's simplex or duplex, think its early vr6 is simplex late is duplex? And the 24v is simplex
