Hello, I just got a 2005 Octavia in. The engine is making an extremely loud rattling noise, like a timing chain that's about to break.
The relevant literature is not available online. I have now removed the valve cover, the camshaft adjuster cover, and the high-pressure pump (the tappet on that is intact). Now, the chain tensioner can be easily pressed down.
I ordered the tensioner and chain from VW as a set.
But! How do I remove the chain?
Does the front camshaft that actuates the fuel pump need to be removed? There's a long slit in it! Passat TDI PD AWX 12/2000
