[fergo308]

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.

Thanks for that. I have read the latest version of the VW seal is significantly different from the original with an inward facing lip.

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.
