These thermoplastic idler wheels have a habit of disintegrating with catastrophic and expensive consequences.



I am with my peers on this one, as the fella said; if you have to ask the question then it would be sensible to pay a qualified technician to undertake the job.How to change the timing belt on 2003 golf gti?
if you have to ask you may want to pay some one, these cars are amongst the harder of cars to do a timing belt on and you dont want to mess it up, also make sure you replace the water pump with an upgraded one with a metal impeller and use g12 coolant onlyHow to change the timing belt on 2003 golf gti?

With your hands?
