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,

    I just replaced my chains about 2 weeks ago.
    I also replaced the high pressure fuel pump (expensive). I would be happy to answer questions you might have assuming your is a BWS engine
    Hi. My CC BWS MY12 is at 130K kms without the noisey chain drama so I'm hoping it stays that way. But in case it does, what's it worth?

      I got the chain kit for around $400 from Tooley imports. It came with chains guides and tensioners. I also got a rocker cover gasket from Imparts $85 I think then hire the timing plate for $58 One week rental.
      The rest was heaps of labour, mine is an all wheel drive and getting drive shaft bolts to pull the powertrain out was hectic.
      The whole job took 2 weeks but the actual work done to pull out powertrain and replace chains is probably 20hr (2.5) days. My car had a lot of issues including a smashed up radiator panel. I also did front suspension bushes.
