Anyone know where i can get a timing chain kit for a v6? Or know the price of one from VW (they're shut at the moment). Decided that the engine management light being illuminated and the sound of timing chain rattle isn't a good thing. On the up side i've been quoted £200+Vat for labour.

Tps mate an it's usually the tensioner that goes 1st on these,sure you can check with vagcom if the chain is stretched :smiley:

I got the code Crankshaft position sensor bank 2 P1347, that generally means the timing out? Do you know if the tensioner can be replaced fairly easily and if the tensioner would cause the timing to be out?

Seems cheap do they know how involved it is to replace it.

£200 + Vat i got quoted not far off a grand but it the end it wasnt the timing chain... Id be questioning that price as i know a guy with an r32 up here who did it and he diddnt see much change from a grand either... its a fair job as far as i know

is it not a gearbox out job as the chain is on clutch side?

The timing chain is normally on the opposite side of the clutch, the front of the engine

it's a mate of mine, he quoted me for 4 hours labour. He worked for an independent garage, then moved to working for halfords and now hes back at an independent. I told him it was a gearbox out job too..
