  • Timing Chain Prices

    hey guys, so the vr6's looking like the chains are needing to be replaced, they're getting noisey.
    the local vw bloke says he cant do it,
    so i wanted to know who's had them done, by which shop, and for how much? (labour etc.)
    in the sydney area...

    much appreciated!

        I found it clear enough before

        Not being from sydney I can't really help, but Golf Loon may be able to do it.

        Or if your time is worth less then money there are a few quite detailed DIY's out there, isn't an easy job though.

            Curious 2 know why the local vw mechanic said he could'nt do them ? Was it he could'nt do them for the price you were willing 2 pay or was it he had never done a VR6 timing chain before ?

              yeah well, hes well known in the scene im told, does alot of custom work with the aircooled engines, but yeah, i just rocked up and he said he couldnt.
              recommended 'muller muller' i think it was?

                Hi,

                Just wondering did you ever get to the bottom of this? Considering the same myself - '94 Golf VR6. Did you get your chain changed or have a suggestion as to how much it should cost and who might be good to do it.

                Cheers, all the best.

                  I would call camden GTI about this, they seem to be the place to go and are forum members etc.

                    Do any of you guys want to group buy timing chain sets? I would be interested in changing mine even though it was done 30K ago.
                    Camden are probably the best at it. Cheers
