I am going to be having my Timing Belt (05 VW Passat TDI) done pretty soon and also have the oil pump chain checked out. I already have a Timing Belt kit, from idparts and would like to know the parts for the oil pump chain and tensioner, that I should have replaced, while the mechanic has things apart? I don't have the money to replace the whole balance shaft (gear to gear setup), so I am just wanting to replace the chain and necessary parts. Thank You.
IMHO it's a bad idea primarily because you're doing 90% of the labor without getting the benefit. Before the chain and tensioner break there were problems with the oil pump drive sprocket breaking. http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/b5/oil-pump-failure-passat-tdi.htm Read this FAQ all the way through.
In any case, here is what you requested:
tensioner: 03g 115 124 (03g115124)
chain: no part number is given. It says to buy another module. I'm not kidding, I looked up the part number as I was typing this reply and it's been removed. Sorry. To show I'm not being obnoxious, here is a screenshot.
I'm going to bite the bullet and order the deluxe module kit from Boraparts. Looks like a good price and comes with the timing belt and other necessary items. Hate the looks of the 1500+ price but, it is better than the alternative. My TDI will have 160000 soon.
Hello all, I am new to TDI's and VW. I have decided to jump in head first.
My first question is when using an engine support bar with my alh where do I attach the chains? Pics are greatly appreciated and needed. I have already found this question which references the transmission removal post...
Hello, I have to replace my door hinges on my Passat. It's not as simple as it should be. The grub pin on the top hinge was snapped in half after weakening due to rust. I have replaced the grub pin with a new one from the dealership but can't seem to get the door to align properly. I'm not...
After installing a used head from what I was told a good running engine. Car ran fine for about 15 min. Then sporadic rough idle. I thought injector issue. So ran engine with valve cover off. I saw quite amount of oil almost shooting up from #10 headbolt. Since oil looks under pressure. I don't...
