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,

  • 2010 77tsi Timing chain replacement

    Hi all, I have the dreaded timing chain rattle in my 77TSI Polo 6R. Can anyone suggest a competent repairer on the Gold Coast? Not looking for a financial rubdown from a dodgy shiatsu. Thanks in advance.

    Take it to the dealer especially if it a low k's one as its a known fault and they may treat you Ok if you ask nicely. Ive got one thats only done 25000k and is still Ok

        Definitely go to the dealer 1st and see what they say, they may cover parts cost as this should be a lifetime part.

          Spoken with 2 dealers this morning and was categorically told no chance of goodwill on an 8 year old vehicle no matter the k's. Anyone know or use a reputable VW repairer on the Gold Coast?

            A few people on the forum have recommended Eurotec at Burleigh or if you want to head to Southern Brissie Jmac is a forum sponsor I think.

              RING VW AUSTRALIA HEAD OFFICE then they stand the cost and not the dealer
