VR6_Absy 0 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 LUK is the standard clutch that is in them. Ive put down GSF part number as i dont know the LUK part number for it and its a place to start from.This is the info with regards to the chains:The OBD1 uses a double-row upper chain' date=' a two-piece tensioner rail (consisting of a separate friction plate riveted to a metal backing) and a tensioner bolt that relies solely on oil pressure to apply force to the tensioner rail.The later OBD2 engines use a single-row chain, a single-piece, dense polymer tensioner rail and a tensioner bolt that uses both spring tension and oil pressure to apply force to the tensioner rail.Hope that helps[/quote']OBD1s can use the plastic rail and spring loaded bolt. You don't have to replace like for like. I used some mk4 parts doing mine, there is a thread somewhere with all the replacement part numbers. Link to post Share on other sites

Euro 0 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hi brothers, My VR6 12V uses Double upper timing chain system, I purcahsed a new set of Timing chains kit for the coming engine build. However, I discover that there are wrong parts received: 1) Upper chain tensioner rail ( yellow color plastic 021 109 509E) is received, instead of existing one (dark brown metal 021 109 509A) 2) Upper piston tensioner with short body/ flat end (021 109 507B) is received, instead of existing one (longer body with a small tip on front end 021 109 507A) Can anyone tell me the above 2 parts are both new updated parts which may directly replace the old ones?If so, should we replace both at the same time? Best regards,Joe Link to post Share on other sites
