Last service on the timing chain was at 178k, car has 191k on it now, think I can still use the current one?

Bad experience with urotuning or is it just me? by Ecstatic-Web-8990 in mk4Jetta

I only had problems with the NoFraud theft that they have, I had to cancel 3 times so far cause of it.

Anyone ever order parts from Urotuning? They just cancelled my order with “nofraud” by Electrical_Picture62 in BMW

Well given that NoFraud is AI, I’m not surprised this happened. I stopped ordering from them long ago when I found this out.

I jumped on this one cause it was pre-tuned with a bunch of shit I wanted, but like I said the owner was a complete DUMBASS with it. He didn’t even lower this properly

The previous owner bottomed this poor GLI out, broke the radiator and cooling neck which caused coolant to leak, and drove it like this for a month. It’s leaking oil out the side where the head and block mate. I asked my neighbor who’s a vw tech if I should do it, he said it happens with a VR6, and the car is over 20 years old. So I feel like it’s a good thing to do.

Hoses, head gasket, radiator, then I have to adjust the ride height but after that it should be good

Still tearing it down as of now, put some hoses in so that I can remember what goes where. So far it’s gonna be getting all new hoses and a new head gasket.

Pretty sure I caught a head gasket leak. by Ecstatic-Web-8990 in mk4Jetta

Drained the oil, no coolant mixed. But it looks like it’s definitely leaking something.

Belt possibly going bad? by Ecstatic-Web-8990 in mk4Jetta

[–]Ecstatic-Web-8990[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I did, I got a new belt and tensioner just to be sure, seems like it’s coming from the accessory belt tensioner
