Tune up

Ha, Brian you are wrong on the inter-cam timing chain. There have been more than one lister that has changed or needs to change this part, I am one of them and I did it after cincy last year. Yes they rattle nasty like.
 
I even video'd what a bad one looks like with a 1/2" of deflection, not good for overall timing. This part should be replaced every 100k to be on the safe side, mine was at 165K. And yes get this chain from a reputible VW parts supplier, the rest of the stuff you are right on.

timing Chain???? Hmmmmm not sure what your talking about here if you have a 
16v there is a very small chain that ties the 2 cams together. Never heard 
of anyone ever needing to replace this. But if you do, do not get this at 
Autozone. Other than that a timing belt is used on all engines. Not sure what 
the ratteling can be.

I use Mobil One synthetic that a buy from Walmart.

I just got back from Linkin Park, concert kicked ass.
