Crank bolt tightening

Post by Les Baty »

Hello all
Relatively new to the VW scene, however loving it so far.

We have purchased a Polo FSi 1.4 for our son, however it slipped the timing chain. So it has been stripped down, head rebuilt, new timing chain and sprockets.

Here lies my problem, how do you tighten the crank bolt up, whilst holding the engine at top dead centre? The engine is still in the car, it looks near on impossible to me, unless you remove the gearbox. I just wondered if there was an easier way to do it?

Can anyone advise me please?

Many Thanks
Jase
