Dave_ciw 507 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 As header states folks where is best to get these items, I e-mailed GSF but got this reply:-Hi Of the parts you have enquired about we can only supply the oil filter as we have no listings of the timing chain guide and the tensioner rail and bolt the numbers you supplied come up but does not cross over to any GSF part numbers unfortunately.The part number for the oil filter is HU932/6N @ 6.25 plus vatMany ThanksDavey BansalGSF HeathrowThe engine is OBD2 and I am not currently in a financial position to lash more money out on the full chains yet but she has got a little noise coming and wanted to replace the rails. So were can I get these and how much roughly.Upper chain guide ( 021 109 513 ),Upper chain tensioner rail ( OBD2=021 109 509 E ),Upper chain tensioner bolt ( OBD2=021 109 507 B ) Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

Dave_ciw 507 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 They reckon around a 100k on OBD1 is a good time to change OBD2 its a fair bit higher. But there is no way to tell with the chains but if it is making a noise its def the guide rails ........ For me the simple fact of the matter is I can only afford to do the rails right now anyway.

VR6Nat 9 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Dave i got my bits from TPS in Kent. They were really good... Have a look at my following thread for my part numbers, but these do differ even on the OBD2 models, you need to get your engine code before you call them, i got the chains, guides, tensioners, gearbox oil and coolant cost me just over 200. Not too bad really. http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?298530 Link to post Share on other sites

Dave_ciw 507 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Cheers guys will get something sorted for this weekend ......... As for 167k not being done my last OBD1 had 210 when the head gasket went........ I did the gasket and rails but not the chains was sweet as a nut then after. Link to post Share on other sites
DanH 1 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 210, that'll do me, rails it is then lol Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I've seen a fair few chains snap on the forum over the years, totally trashing the engine with alot less mileage - swings and roundabouts i'm afriad. rule of thumb. anything over 100k, then you might as well do the full lot.

Dave_ciw 507 Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I totally get what your saying Pete ........ but the simple fact is with the group buy im in and the turbo bits I have baught this year I cannot justify the spend ..... family holiday next month aswell ....... Im just saying the chains would be better running over new guides than broken ones. Link to post Share on other sites

dieseldave 0 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 as i work for a vw garage i would have to say go genuine on these, remember tat this will get you a 2 year parts and labour waranty, but make sure they put all the details such as mileage and chassis number on the invoice and hold on to it. warranty should also cover consequential damage as well, but i can check and confirm this Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_ciw 507 Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Ive got the bits pictured and my cat went today so had to order a new one of those ........ making the chains a definate no no at the min. on another note I see your from Larne im from Belfast but live on the mainland im heading home for a holiday in September my eldest girl is ten and never been LOL Link to post Share on other sites
DanH 1 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 i been vw today to have a look, and the very nice man printed this off for me.....unfortunatly he didnt have a clue lol.i wanna order the right bits here and the guy didnt kno, im assuming 15 is the upper guide, 13 upper chain tensioner rail, but wot is the tensioner bolt. is it 10?cheers, wanna do this before a 12 hour round trip to newquay! will do chains soon as i can afford it. cos ive built (near enough) a new gearbox and will be fitting a clutch when that goes in - so easy enough to do it all properly then. but no funds at all atm.
