katconcarne 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 i´d say if it´s noisy even some of the time it needs chains and tensioners doing to be safe. everyones is different, apparently the vw life given on the timing items is 80k, but most peoples don´t need doing the whole life of the car. mine just has a really slight noise some of the time, but i´m getting it done, better safe than sorry.(@) Link to post Share on other sites
Russ_vr6 12 Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 vw dont list a time or mileage for the chsins believe it or not matey,but i cant make my mind up weather its worth changin the tensioner on the bk ov the casing? Link to post Share on other sites
