Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Sorry if my reviving this thread from the dead upsets anyone.

    Liqui Moly 1800 ATF is a great substitute for Toyota Type IV ATF.

    I'll be doing the haldex fluid and filter on my wifes 2013 Tiguan fairly soon,should be fun.

    Regards,

    Justin.

      Also - are the any OEM timing chain kit providers in Australia? The complete kit of chains slides tensioner and covers etc. This is probably the most important job I need to bite the bullet on soon DIY or Indy Shop.
      Sorry - I missed this post. I know you can buy the kits from USA (FCP Euro or ECS Tuning etc) but if you want to source locally I would speak to VAGParts or RunAutoParts.

      Looking at VagParts its probably the pick for timing chain components - some of the parts are listed on their website, but not all of them. Probably best to give them a call and ask for a full kit.

        Long time since last update.

        Have had the timing chain replaced.

        Now rebuilding the vacuum pump which is leaking oil from the top of the engine.

        Bought a rebuild gasket kit from USA looks good and cheap.

        Just a word of warning as the coolant hoses below were covered in oil. I was wiping them down and the one that goes into the block just fell apart. The plastic fitting that goes into the block was completely failed. It fell apart as I tried to remove it. $37 well worth replacing this part on older cars as will lead to a catastrophic failure.
