mombajomba 0 Posted June 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 hi all,It's been a while, I had a saga with tools. Finally found the bit for the head bolts, had to use a 12 point 12mm 3/8 drive (1/2 it to big to get to them all.. grr) I'm still stuck at getting enough stack on the chain te get it over the spockets. I have a document here so hopefully I'll get it. The tension piston is out and the lower guide rail is off. I think I found the source of the ticking, the guide rail the tension bolt pushes on has a loose front piece, not sure if this will be replaceable without going deeper, I'll find out.SImon Link to post Share on other sites
mombajomba 0 Posted June 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 It seems that replacing this upper guide is a gear box out situation. I'm still confused about getting the chain off the sprockets on the cam shafts. I need to think about the whole thing, I don't want to take out the gear box just to gain access to this small plastic part. I could just do the head and live with the noise, it seems ashame. If only I could get this chain off, I toyed with undoing the sprockets but it seems a little over the top. There must be a way to do this...Simon Link to post Share on other sites

mombajomba 0 Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 It's finally off! All told I've striped 4 bolts in the process, all angle grinded and removed. I have a full photo diary, I may throw a PDF together with it all in once I'm done, doesn't seem to be a good end to end head gasket guide. Link to post Share on other sites
mombajomba 0 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 All done! Phew... I've been waiting for parts for ages.. The head gasket arrived bent and it's taken the guy about 2 weeks to sort it out.. Still got there in the end. My water bottle had split at the seam too and I've been waiting for bolts frow VW. It's SOOOO good to be back on the road, cheers for the help chaps. I have a photo diary if any one wants it. Link to post Share on other sites
