  • I have been planning on doing this timing chain and clutch job for a year or so now on the Golf but had to get various other projects finished first such as building a car port for the car I had stored in the garage, and sorting some storage space out for the parts as I remove them. I'm no mechanic and only have DIY experience but as I felt like a challenge and as I don't daily the car I thought why not.
    I was always planning on documenting the video anyway and keeping it for reference so I thought why not just do a little bit of editing and upload it to UA-cam? Hopefully someone will find this useful to see perhaps what I've done, where I went wrong and how difficult it was to help them decide if they want to have a go at this themselves.
    I'll be posting part numbers and so on in the description as I use them. Please feel free to offer any advice or have any suggestions as I say I'm no mechanic and so any constructive advice is greatly appreciated.

    It's great that someone can take the time and trouble to record all this work to help others.

    Great to see someone having a go. Brilliant mate even though it's a big job tackled well. How's the car running now???

      Runs and drives well although I’ve only probably done a few hundred miles in it. My only gripe is I have a sort of whining noise linked to engine RPM, can’t see any obvious issues thinking maybe I have a loose vacuum line or something like that. Going to take it to a mechanic I trust for a check over as I’m sure on the ramps it will be easier to pin point than me laid in my back in the garage. But yeah as far as the initial problem the car is much much happier, no fault codes or rough idle, no more chain noise 😊

    Your idle seems the same as mine, crappy idle out of the blue followed by a P0016 Fault. When yours was like this, did it still seem to drive fine?

      k20daily it did run totally fine once under load, was only really at low speeds part throttle and idle the issue showed up. Check latest episode it explains what issues actually was for me in the end (not the chains).

      k20daily if it is the VVT solenoid/s follow the workshop guide exactly on how to remove them. If you don’t and they get stuck then chains have to come off anyway to knock them out from the back (unless it’s the intake one that can be accessed still thankfully).
