I had oil pressure problems last year and due to me being on a dual carriageway when the warning light came on I could not stop for a couple mins. However it resulted in the camchain snapping. My guess is as I believe the change tensioner uses oil pressure that caused the chain to come slack.
Anyway with the help of online how to guides I managed to get the head off and have the valves changed then fixed the car. It has been ok until over xmas and now getting oil pressure problems. It has been suggested to me that the oil pump is probably at fault.
I am going to take off the oil pump and have a look. I already have a replacement to swap it with.
I need to replace the 10 stretch bolts when refitting but tps were not 100% sure which bolts I needed and it could be one of 2 part numbers. Does anyone know the part numbers of these bolts.
Thanks

Go to the VW dealer and point them out on the ETKA screen. It's the only way. Internet numbers are usually out of date, unless someone has done the same job very recently.
Oemepc.com is a good resource for part numbers, but again, I'm not sure how recent they are.
The last 10 part numbers I've procured online have, half of them were either completely wrong or superseded with a new one by VW.

TPS said it was best if I went to them and checked the computer image. Just a bit of a pain having to go see them then order bolts then have to go back. Well if I go tomorrow morning could have them for Saturday.
