Hi all,

Has anyone had to change the cam chain and tensioner on their car that has the EA113 motor ? What were the symptoms of a failing chain/tensioner?

Looking at getting mine done as there is a very quiet intermittent chain rattle sort of noise near the hpfp, it's not...

Has anyone changed the serpentine belt tensioner on a 2012 T5.1 2.0 turbo , mine is rattling and I thought it was just the bearing in the pulley but sadly not .It seems that the actual spring that holds the tensioner has weakened as it wobbles around when idling . I tried my best to remove the whole...

Hi All

My timing belt change was going well until It came to tensioning the belt, I had the belt routed around all the components (Cam, Water Pump, Crank, Idler and Tensioner). I went to tighten the tension to find that tensioning the slack had moved the crank about 4 teeth forward, moving...

I ask because my second timing chain tensioner is now stuffed and a complete used engine can be cheaper than the tensioner... but I'm assuming there would be all sorts of ECU issues probably even...

Hey

I just purchased a Mk5 BKD TDI (91,000kms!) and am pretty happy with it! However, I am noticing a random rattle, mainly under engine load (when taking off from a stop) coming from the tensioner / serpentine belt area. According to a recent service receipt the tensioner and serpentine...

thanks
