cam belt problem
« on: 03 December 2009, 23:10 »
ive got a mk4 1.8t (ARZ engine code) and i think one of the pulley bearings for my cambelt is on its way out....its making a metal tapping noise on rotation...and when i rev it gets quicker i took the cambelt cover off and the noise gets louder....

just wodnering where do i get a cam belt kit from, what this includes and what is the part number if anyone knows?

thanks dave.
