Thanks for your help! I had it serviced today (oil change/filters changed/new spark plugs) and its running and sounding fine, so maybe I'll leave it for now...

You can scan it with Vagcom, will say whether the chains have stretched! Link is here http://www.clubgti.com/showthread.php?239642-R32-chains-and-tensioners Saw this below from the same post If it's an AUE or AQP (pre 2002) you have no worries at all with that engine and I'd be surprised if it needs anything more than a new upper guide rail. It's only the pre 2005 R32s that are well documented as having the upper chain stretching issue, but technically speaking, the BDE/BDF 4Motions (2002 on) share the same VVT and chain setup as the R32, so if you have one of these engines, I would change

Well that's all she's getting.

Damn right I did. Nothing keeps me away from VWNW! George and Dan were diamonds and helped me out big time! Of course they did all the work and I sat back with a brew [emoji23][emoji23] joking of course... Big job to get alternator off with charger. Ended up taking front end off, charger, pulleys just to get to alternator. At that point noticed the bolt was rounded off and just spinning in the housing so had to smash the alternator apart to get mole grips on it so could remove the nut. The alternator was clicking when spinning. Although bearings looked OK and was still s

Mine is getting there, still work to do but should be back on the road this year [emoji2]
