Its pretty simple from memory. Unscrew back cover. unscrew badge, disconnect electrics, unclip something (maybe the ball joint you mention) and that is it.Originally posted by TuminRik View PostYeah I took off the felt and went in from the back, might try playing with the ball joint again on Saturday.

Sorry for the delayed replies
The symptoms for me were running rough (for me it was rough on 2 out of 5 cylinders), lack of power, camshaft error code in ecu...Originally posted by goodfella View Postand for the uneducated... whats the immediate symptoms of a skipped tooth?
Here is a link to last time this happened... http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...sor-62510.html
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)...Originally posted by gringo_54_oval View Postsorry if this is silly question, but how do you skip a tooth on the cam chain.over revving???
Thankfully, the tensioner can be changed from the outside of the motor and should be a 10 min job...Last edited by Shadow_Rusty; 26-09-2011, 08:18 AM.'90 Mk I Cabriolet 1.8L - My toy... err... Daily driver...- Replaced with ‘93 Mk1 Cabriolet 1.8L <- Soon to be mine...
