    ok what is a vw specialist suppose to be what do they look like lol,the only reason i took it to the dealers is because no machanic on the planet knows whats going on with my car if any of you guys knows someone who does know what they are doing then dont hesitate in sending me there number if its near my area that is,

    had the car in vw for a check on the tapping noise i am still having along with diognostic check and inspection,my brother took the car in as i was at work and when i got back and read the results it says the following,no faults in memory noise coming from top of engine possible work hydraulics advise customer to try hydraulic rejuvenator fluid,no faults in memory relating to worn chain,does anyone know how and were to apply this fluid? cheers guys

    slight revs 1200 rpm the noise starts and then the more it revs up the quicker the bursts with the same sound car sounds awfull and is turning heads for all the wrong reasons,local machanics are clueless around my area so going to ring vw and see how much they charge for a inspection il go up to £50 taken the money spent on it getting it right upto more money than i actualy bought the car for then goin off there news will depend on weather i keep it or not iv come to the end of my teather with it, a big lesson learned,also good thinking vr owner cud be worth a go

    i cant hear no noise coming from the tensioner tho mate the belt and mech look and sound good if someone can put up a numbered diagram of this side of the engine i would pin point it straight away
  10. makster28
    yep will do,the noise is above the belt tensioner pulley system and to the side of the camshaft breather pipe in the block i recently greased up the tensioner with bearing grease me thinking this was the problem, the noise statrts at slight revs and speeds up with increased accelaration more so when actualy driving the car

    went the a so called vw specialist who was polish and he could hear the noise but seemed clueless of a solution and just said its seems ok, a complete joker,then i took it to another garage and he said it was the timing chain. but the noise is defernatly coming from above the belt tensioner pullley i said to the guy the chains are on the other side of the car near the gearbox but was adiment it was above the pulley can anyone confirm this? really stuck now also performance is bad now.cheers

    just beginning to wonder if my bearings are crap altogether and greasing them was pointless,guna take it to a local vw specialist satdi just for a inspection see what he says
  14. makster28
    cheers guys,the noise is weird imagine grit flicking up under the car when you drive over it,its that sound for like 3 seconds then it goes for like 2 seconds then the identical noise is back,in this same pattern constant,and it does sound like its coming from the right hand side of the air filter behind the block as well
  15. makster28
    done the oil and filter change still the same christ what the hells up with these things?@ iv spent more time on here than driving the thing
  16. makster28

    i bought some 10x40 full syntetic oil today is it safe to use with the vr i know people say use the semi stuff but there was none in the garage i got it from plus it was free as wud just tell work it was for the van
  22. makster28
    did the tensioner today perfect job and i still have this tapping sound which does sound like the tappets not sure tho,what should i check next guys full oil change it does look quite black and dirty and the guy i bought it off overfilled it its 1cm past the max on the dip also when starting engine sounds a bit slower and lifeless than normal
  23. makster28
    cheers i have changed the fan module for what i think is a working one and i did make the mistake of buying the wrong one at the start however i have a crusty contact on the big connector were the previous module blew on one of the pins,i have changed the brown sensor and am going to get the other 2 along with a new rad switch and see what happens
  24. makster28
    is obd1 tensioner same as obd2? have chance of a reburb one
  25. makster28
    fans kick in accordingly at past 90 and will not turn themselves off whilst the car is moving but if i pull over the fans will turn off after a few minutes then i will set off then there straight back on all the way through the drive,also fans will turn off when ignition is turned off i have no after run fans when the engine is turned off,cheers for coolant guide vr
