I don't think so, why not get a local garage to tension it once you have fitted it?

Mate I am absolutely gutted for you! I know how it feels when you've poured you're all into a car only for it to go bang! Good luck with the re-rebuild though... I'll be keeping an eye on this  ________________________________________ Deepak Gohil |

Had a simular problem to you chris after 6000 miles of the head being re conditioned and belts changed. Tensioner sheared off the block taking 15 vales with it "doh!" All i keep thinking now is "when's it going to happen again "________________________________________ EX Bianca 6 owner,Now drives: Octavia vRS |

i am totaly sick at the minute, hoping it will be on he road again in the next couple of days but thats what i am thinking, dont want it going bang again. once its sorted its getting sold.dont no what to go for next, just cant afford much at the minute, spent all my money on saving another 6  but once its sorted i want it to go to a good homeam thinking of either a rallye or a moonstone 6... or maybe another 106 gti for the time being as there cheaper to run and insure  ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

picked my head up today after i had a fun day out at flamingo land on the way hoping to get the engine back together tomorrow and fitted so i can give it a run out on friday.one of my mates has a timing belt tool so he is coming down tomorrow afternoon to fit it for me. so fingers crossed nothing else can go wrong  ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Finaly have my 6 back on the road  got it up and running on friday had a drive about for a few hours and on my way home the clutch peddle stuck to the floor, then i shot up and went hard. pulled in to the street to park up and there was no drive its becoming 1 thing after another.so saturday, had my friend bring his recovery truck down to take it back to the garage for me, as he was turning round he cought my passanger side door and left a nice big dint in it  . took the box and clutch of to find the clutch had fell apart. so fitted a new AP clutch £98 more out of pocket...been out and about today and fingers crossed all if fine now i can concentrate on the body work, needing a front bumper, got a bonnet and now a door. thinking of loosing the morettes and getting black masks, smoothing the bonnet boot and doors. ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

well for some reason yesterday my altonator belt snapped. was brand new last week. strangeheres an update on why i think my beltslipped last time and bent the valves, take a look at these...   must have been some stress on these for one to snat the pin off and the other to crack. luckily i had a spare set  just been to pick up a new belt and get a bonnet for a mate, just needs painting. need to find a bumper and a door now. heres what my mate done with his recovery truck very lucky he didnt hit the rear ¼ ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |
