    Yeah I took off the felt and went in from the back, might try playing with the ball joint again on Saturday.
    Insert something funny about VW's in this space

      Its pretty simple from memory. Unscrew back cover. unscrew badge, disconnect electrics, unclip something (maybe the ball joint you mention) and that is it.
      Bora gone
      Vento VR6
      MKIV GSW TDI
      7P Touareg TDI

                          Timing chain tensioner has a sticky spot in it, so if oil pressure is slightly down (i.e. Car starting) the chain is not as tight as it should be... Need to order a new tensioner ($80 I just don't have at the moment)...

                          Thankfully, the tensioner can be changed from the outside of the motor and should be a 10 min job...

                            That and you run the chance of having the valves dance with the pistons.
