i got the idle rattle but cant tell the difference between the chain tensioner or the pully. and both are quite pricy to fix.

You could try a breakers yard ,they will have loads of them as nobody in their right mind would have a mk6 tdci .

Are you saying Ned is bonkers


I prefer the term special or eccentric lol. N

And how long will that thing last? Getting the bleeping thing off is not something id like to repeat often.

I wasn't telling you to fix it ,I was telling you to leave it there :wink:

You are correct, Ned.

I would definitely check the o/s headlight just to make sure, there's a good chance that will need changing as well. That's what you should tell Mrs :wink:
