Evening all
I'm doing my CRBC 2.0 tdi mk7 golf cambelt and oil pump belt this week, I was wondering if anyone knows the tourque for the centre crank pulley bolt ad I keep finding different settings thanks
Sorry for late reply been away all week.
I'm replacing the timing belt because it has reached 5 years old next month and vw used to say 80k miles or 5 years here in the UK.
Not sure if its changed on my engine or not as I have heard they have said 10 years on petrol but I'm not sure how true...
Hi all
Got a 2014 2.0 TDI mk7 golf 130,000 miles due its 2nd cambelt change in next couple of months.
Just debating if its worth changing the oil pump belt while cambelt off, problem is its Crank pulley and cover off plus sump off to get to the oil belt didn't know if anyone has done it or...

Oh she gets driven hard at times but most of the time she's cruising on the motorway but I'm not afraid to open her up on the country lanes every now and again 😅
I'm tempted to be fair, I've heard they cam be problematic and it's the original one so it's not done too bad I suppose.
I'm just hoping it's nothing more but it's getting slightly worse over the last few months.
Hi probably been asked before,
Has anyone experienced usage of oil.
Cant seem to see any obvious smoke but mine is starting to use around 500ml every 1200 miles or so. We'll within VW tolerance apparently.
Debating if to go down the route of replacing components such as the PCV or swap out to...
Just an update, got it put on this afternoon, no need for bumper off although the way its clipped in is a stupid idea.
Especially at 9 years old 🙄
Also found why my ac gas goes after about a year looks like the o ring on the condenser is leaking, that's bumper off job but a problem for next year...
Hi all, not sure if this is the right place for this but I have a mk7 R with a leaky radiator. Going to tackle it myself as it's not a big job.
I was just wondering if anyone has manged to get the rad out without taking all the bumper and crash bar etc off.
Looks do able but not sure I'm...
Looking at everyone's posts it seems it is becoming a common thing on the mk7's then.
Really onnyed with it to be fair and I worry its just the beginning of the end for my car I found loads of dirt trapped in my side skirts as well but can't seem to get them off as they seem like they are...
Spoke to a vw specialist yesterday and he thinks this will be as common as the mk5 wings again due to a foam pad inside the wing liner holding moisture. He reckons the only way to stop the wings from going again is to replace them.
As for the rears they just need to be repaired and hope for the...
Don't even think ill bother trying now, I rang dealers yesterday and they were adamant it was a stone chip and they haven't even seen it 🙄
Had 2 quotes so far 1 for £600 and one for £1000 now 😬
