Have you tried tightening the 13mm? The wiper arm should be round-it tightens on to a tapered spline.

That unit is chain driven mate.

PG reg and I'll check for you.

It would pass an MOT. I agree it looks pretty horrendous so the recommendation would indeed be to renew.

Can you see tyre construction...ply/cords?

Welcome

The official line on this one would be do it straight away. In reality, you'll probably be okay to wait a bit. The oil gets diluted with diesel...post injection isn't exactly a resolved system for regen. It's for this reason, if your man goes with forced regen your oil & filter should be changed...

A defective thermostat needs to be changes, yes. Forced regen cannot be actuated if engine is not at operating temp....likely a contributory factor, if not main cause, of passive regens not being activated. Forced regen can be carried out more than once but if a significant ash reduction is not...

Re thermostat, yes, this isn't ideal as a bunch of conditions have to be met before regen will kick in during normal driving. A forced regen is often helpful (for both PD and common rail) but it's success rate is all down to how saturated the DPF has become before attempting. Multiple forced...

Presumably forced regen not possible?

You're welcome. All the best!

Afraid not. Glasgow.

You've got the broad stokes down, but there's loads of stuff missing tbh. Based on your messages, in both this thread and your timing tool thread, my advise would be not to undertake this job yourself. It would be irresponsible of me to provide repair instructions when I cannot be confident of...

You're welcome. Yes, belts are always stressful, even when you do them all the time.

For future reference, your engine code is CAGA (Also printed on your boot PR number sticker, though sometimes these don't survive all that long). See attached for correct timing tools. Ideally you want a counter holding tool also. As I mentioned in your previous thread, I would again advise...

That's not a valid vag engine code. "CAG" is correct but it should have a 4 character, either "A/B/C". If you PM full vin I can confirm your engine code and timing tools.

No problem. Let me know if there's anything else you need a hand with :D

So your kit should include a shaped locking tool for the crank and pins for the cam and pump. If you are loosening the cam or pump sprocket bolts, be sure to support the sprockets, don't to lean on the locking pins. I would definitely proceed with caution here... The new VAG timing gear...

Do you mean you want an image of the timing gear? Have you replaced a toothed belt kit before? FYI: Fuel pump sprocket bolts (splines): 20Nm Camshaft sprocket bolts (hex): 25Nm Water pump: 15Nm
