  5. 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.
  6. haha 167000 without em done! well no reciept anyways..... its deffo making a noise, and it gets wilder the higher the revs. did the belt tensioner bearing in hope it was this but werent, and spose if i think about it it sounds like a loose chain sorta noise......cant afford for it to skip a tooth or anything. cheers, will look at getting parts together. kno wot u mean with the money lol! thought about selling the vr a couple of times - by far my fav car ive owned, and the best sounding ever, but it takes away from the fun a bit when u havent got any money to service it...
