I have a small oil leak and need to re-seal the cylinder head cover.
I was reading through the service manual and came away with a headache----
Per the manual I need to relieve the tension on the cam chain before I remove the cover.
** This would involve removing and replacing the lower cam chain cover---some $240
** Removing the harmonic dampener-- need a $150 VW tool for this
** locking the cams in place with some $120 of VW tools
** AND a whole bunch of other things to do.....
So here's the question---
Is there an easier method to do this......NO laughing now.
Has anyone done this??????
I found a YOUTUBE video on a cover reseal on a MK VI---that gentleman simply got the timing mark on the Harmonic dampener lined up plus cylinder 1 at TDC then simply removed the cover after getting ALL of the items atop the cover out of the way--HPFP, coils, PCV plumbing...
Guidance here would be appreciated.
BTW-It's a 2015 GTI-S 6-speed
