Part: Timing belt

Today's guide will show us the main steps on how to disassemble and replace the timing chain of the Volkswagen Golf GTI 2.0 TSI. First, we open the hood and start by removing the cylinder head cover, gaining access to the valve body; then we lift the car and remove the right front wheel and the crankshaft pulley, then remove the distribution cover. At this point, we loosen the chain tensioner to remove the timing chain, replacing it with the new original one; then we reassemble everything, following the reverse procedure!
