Thanks for reply 👍 I've been a truck mechanic 30 years and more than impressed with your meticulous work procedure..... 10/10
I need to move to where you live. Nobody does this quality of work in the state's. Well done❗ subscribed 😁
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching 😁
Mk4 R32 with OZ Aristo ❤😍🔥 Legend
Wow, a job done properly... Well done, it's nice to see a tech do the right procedures and torquing even the exhaust bolts!
Thanks for watching 😁
I love the level of excellence and how the screws are put in different circles for easy identification.
Organisation is key 😁 thanks for watching!
didnt realise it was such a big job and would explain a new clutch engine mounts transmission work etc plus a huge bill at the end of it all. Great video
Yes doing the chains is pretty easy, getting to them is the big job! Thanks for watching 😁
@@SuperRon i have a 2004 R32 and the previous owner spent well over $25000 NZ dollars on timing chain, clutch water pump and heaps of other stuff which is more then i paid for the car but runs like a dream. cheers
Very nice, I've just converted that to £ and that's had a lot spent. But as you see from the video they're very labour intensive to do anything on so the Bill's soon add up! But well worth it in the end!
Brilliant video Ron, love these cars and you made that job look very easy, testament to your skill set. Subscribed!
Fantastic 😁 thanks for watching!
God that exhaust note, nothing like the wookie vr6 sound
They do sound ace 👍
I like the Benz AMG wheels. They look great on the R32.
They did look amazing 😍 thanks for watching 😁
Mk4 R32 is indeed special car.. feels superior with its little nuke of a 3.2 engine. Mega
I agree, thanks for watching 😁
It was really, really enjoyable! Nice work!
Thanks for watching 😁
Just watched this, have one myself. What an awesome and detailed video. Brilliant work.
Thanks for watching 😁
Great job Ron
Thanks 😀 this one was a pleasure 😎
This is a dream car for me,great job.
Thanks for watching! I'm a big fan of these too!
Great vid, you made it look easy
Thanks for watching 😁
Just got to the half way point of this video and I gotta say your a pro man I woulda been cussing up a storm and been about ready to throw in the towel. I gotta imagine this is an extremely expensive repair
Wonderful job. Bet u enjoyd working on this mate. I love these cars. Working on thm is a pleasure.
One of the best sounding car by a mile
Thank you, it never feels like work when I have beauties like these to play with 😁
@@SuperRon 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 lucky you to spend all day with these outstanding ladies. God damm 😍😍😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Ronny you make me so so happy :3 xoxoxo
Thanks for watching 😁
Just found your channel. Loved the vid, have a mk v6 4mo that has just hit 150,000. No cam 'tick' just yet but was interesting to see the process! Nice one!
Awesome! Thanks for watching 😁
Great video Ron
Thanks for watching 😁
@@SuperRon no problem, I’ve an r32 mk4 with 8k miles and is totally mint, I’m just detailing the underneath at the moment. The timing chains on these cars are a lot of work to replace as your video clearly shows 👍
Super job. I love your organization too.
I'm surprised that those stock Aristo wheels fit over the after market Porsche fixed caliper.
Thanks for watching 😁
fair play a fair amount of work. but when I Did mine I went for the turbo upgrade GT35 Garrett
with forged JE pistons and ARP bolts. Makes sense when doing that amount of work
as mine is now over 500 HP with upgraded clutch and gearbox. Respect 5yko
Great job Ron (Y) - Still waiting for the C5 RS6 Battery terminals in the engine bay upgrade ;-)
Thank you 😁 yes still have the terminals, never got round to fitting them 🙈 the rs6 hasn't moved in quite a while so really should do that job!
Never struggle... Top tip, yeah right!
100%, thanks for watching 😁
Need to do this on my 3.2 TT!
Thanks for watching 😁
air play a fair amount of work. but when I Did mine I went for the turbo upgrade GT35 Garrett
with forged JE pistons and ARP bolts. Makes sense when doing that amount of work
as mine is now over 500 HP with upgraded clutch, diff and gearbox.Its now next level .Respect 5yko
R32 Turbos are awesome 😎
Shame whoever sprayed it didn’t put the rear R32 badge back on in the correct position
Great video...as I go thru my MK4 GLI 1.8T I find so missing parts and shields from services done.
Thanks for watching 😁
🔴SENSATIONAL, WITH THE ARISTO WHEELS IN ADDITION TO BEING ORIGINAL, THEY ARE MUCH BETTER A WONDERFUL GREETINGS FROM BRAZIL
Thanks for watching 😁
@@SuperRon HOW MUCH TORQUE HAVE YOU TURNED ON THE VALVE COVER SCREWS, AND ON THE SPARK PLUGS ON THE INTAKE MANIFOLD SCREWS? THANKS
I can't remember off hand unfortunately, I was following the manual at the time 👍
Wow, awesome job and very pro , I subscribe, btw we in Indonesia are not so lucky to have that beautiful R32 Sir, but what we have here only t4 caravelle with VR6 12V and VR6 24V, and tbh in my eyes that R32 engine is look very similar with VR6 24 V, and also that timing chain look the same ( Well, I am not a pro or mechanic )
Thanks for watching, yes they are very similar to the 24v VR6.
A VR6 caravelle sounds very cool, I don't think we had those here!
Pretty straight forward video, thanks a lot. I have 1 question regarding the sealant. How did you apply the sealant on the timing cases/covers, I mean the area where 2 cases/covers meet up-the upper one and the lower. There is a head gasket in between. Did you apply the sealant there, which means basically on the head gasket? Is it correct way. Perfect video.
Thanks for watching, yes I put sealer on the top faces of the covers too where they touch the headgasket.
Is necessarily to take the cam sprocket to do the job?
What is a torque spec for the spark plugs? Greetings
Very nice video, how many hours of work was the replacement in total?
Thanks for watching. I think it was about 15-16 hours for this job.
Getting the engine out makes it much easier 👍
How long that all together take you to do?
My 2.8 VR6 MK4 will need the engine out at some point for a number of reasons, including chains 😅
It was a couple of years ago now but I think it was around 2 days all told with everything, it does soon escalate with everything else that needs doing at the same time
Excellent work!!! I have a question, I see that you put oil in the original gearbox. Is this reference? g052527a2?
Sorry cant remember the part number, was genuine vw fluid though. Thanks for watching 😁
@@SuperRon Ok no problem. Being original it will only take one type. Some people recommend Motul, Liqui Moly, Ravenol... but I don't trust them even though they are excellent oils. I will use original and so there is no mistake. Thanks again.
Hi Ron, great video by the way! I have a mk4 golf 2.8 and wondered if the process is the same? But I'm also very unsure if my timing chain needs doing? It makes the noise but drives fine and I'm not really sure what to look/hear out for. Thanks!
The 2.8's are very similar and overall the preceidure is pretty much the same. They usually rattle on start up is the first sign the tensioners are getting weak.
@@SuperRon thank you for getting back to me! I'll have quite the job on my hands then 😅 but very eager!
Fantastic, I have an MK4 R32 which could do with the same amount of work, how long did it take. I’m think of doing it myself, and taking the engine out is definitely the way forward.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching. The whole thing including the chains and service took 2 days, about 16 hours. I could probably do it alot quicker knowing what I do now as shown in the video.
@@SuperRon cheers mate really appreciate the reply. Dave R32
@@davidfrisby2170 I've done it on my golf mk4 2.8 VR6 engine with the engine still in the car, can recommend taking out the engine completely, getting to the bolts was a pain in the ass
Just watched your video as, when I fitted my crank seal, the seal splayed out around the shaft. I thought it was because we removed the plastic insert, but noticed you did too. How did you stop this from happening? As I've had to order a new one and don't want the same thing to happen. Any tips would be great! Thanks
Nothing out of the ordinary with these crank seals, a little bit of oil to lube it up and carefully creep it on.
I wonder how much that cost, it seems worth doing all the big bits and major service at the same time! logical and appropriate!
Yes it made sense, you would have to pay all the labour again if you wanted the clutch done at a later date. Thanks for watching 😁
Hi Ron I’m looking to do this to my car and was wondering if you have a parts list which I can use to buy all the necessary parts , I’m looking to do basically what you did and am wondering what new bolts and gaskets I will need , thanks
I don't have an individual parts list unfortunately, we just phone up TPS say we need everything for a chain change
Hey Ron. How much do you charge for a job like this? With and without parts? Nice work.
I am just a mere worker so dont see the bill's 😂 drop Autoshack a message and Lee will be happy to quote.
Nice work! I have a Golf v6 4motion 00a. There is no sound from the chain yet, the car has traveled 18000 miles. Do you know which range is okay in VCDS?
Sounds like yours is a well serviced engine 😁 I dont know offhand but it's well covered on the forums.
Question where do you buy your chain kits from and make 🙂
We use all genuine VW parts direct from the main dealer through TPS.
rims looking perfect
what is the size?
They were 18inch
Paying for this would not be cost affective lol
Just curious, how did the plastic guides look when you tore into it? I have a clutch ready for my mk4, I might as well do the chains as well. I will be pulling the motor for sure.
The guides weren't too bad, it had a tiny rattle on start up which is why we did them, but nothing was dangerously low. It's worth doing it all while it's out.
@@SuperRon yeah, I’m at 209,000 miles on my r32. Original clutch, chains. I have no rattles on start up I’ve checked measuring blocks in vcds to tip me off on any stretching (which would be from the guides) and the degrees appear to be with in tolerance still. But I might as well do it if I’m doing the clutch.
@@kottyking very impressive! Must be a well looked after example 👍
Does it already have a new head gasket? With the block out of the car, why not do the head gasket at the same time? Its maybe 3 hours more work now vs 20 hours eventually.
These aren't prone to headgasket failures, so it's not something to replace just for the sake of it. But yes like you say we are pretty much there at this point.
how much and how long does a job like this take? i have a passat cc with the 3.6 version of this engine and it's coming up 100,000 miles
It's a couple of day job and price depends what else you want done in the process, clutch/flywheel etc. Feel free to give us a call at Autoshack, I put links in the description 👍
where are you based?
would you be able to do something like this for my r32 mk4?
We are near Ipswich in Suffolk. We have another R32 Mk4 we are doing the same on in at the minute 👍
Hi there how many hours did it take you to do roughly
I can't remember now, it was over a couple of days so probably 15-20 hours all in.
Where did you drain the coolant from? I have a MKIV R32, and can't find a good spot to bleed the coolant, unless you just undo a line.
Yes I did have to pull off the lower radiator hose 👍
@@SuperRon Thanks!
@@superleggera1900I've just seen your profile pic, did you see the videos I did on the clutch change on the orange Superleggera? 3 videos in my playlists.
How much do you charge to do this timing chain replacement super ron ?
This was a few years ago now, but I think all the chains and service bits are about £1000 and then about 1.5-2days labour. Feel free to get in touch with Autoshack for a quote
Which transmission comes in a manual r32 google says dsg but according to also Google dsg only comes in autos and the car I'm looking to buy is manual.
The r32 comes in DSG or 6 speed manual. I'm not sure on the gearbox code but manuals are very common
U can do my mk5 r32 any day
Thanks for watching 😁
What was the total ££???
Im looking for someone that knows what they are doing to do this job on my r32
Parts are not cheap, I think it's about £1200 for all genuine parts and the clutch and dmf on top of that. Then labour too it can head up to £2-3k
Is it up for sale yet?
Not yet, we're just getting it mot'd now. If it does end up going for sale 😂
@@SuperRon ha! Would be a great buy after all your work 👍🏼
There's got to be an easier way
These certainly aren't easy to work on 😬 thanks for watching 😁
Would it have been possible to drop the subframe with the engine transmission, and steering all attached?
The engine and gearbox don't mount to the subframe they mount to the chassis legs, so wouldn't drop together.
Cleanest in country? Looks like a rusty bag of nails underneath
Thanks for watching 😁
Those seats and paint look great
Hi there mate great video and work. Could you tell me how many hours labour a chain and Tensioners replacement to should take? Looking at an R32 but this job scares me tbh. Would I be right in budgeting £2k parts and labour?
Thanks for watching 😁 I think the genuine chains, tensioners and associated bits come in at about £1k, I spent around 15 hours on this so with the rest of the servicing parts that would probably be another grand, so you're about right with a full service. We fitted and new clutch and flywheel on this one too which was around £500ish I think.
@@SuperRon appreciate the prompt reply mate 👍
Hi Ron, another question, would you advise on doing the camshaft adjusters if going to the commitment of having the chains done? Thanks mate
We've never experienced a problem with the pulleys themselves so have never changed them, we've replaced solonoids before due to failure but they are able to be done in the car by taking the top cover off, with the gearbox still attached
@@SuperRon top man Ron thanks
