    Hy,

    I'm considering replacing the head on the car with new bare head but it appears the cams have to be fitted with a jig which costs a fortune...can they be fitted to the 2.0 tdi motors without the jig successfully or is damage inevitable...?
    Any tips lol ??

    Cars done 113k so water pump and belts obviously at the same time..worth doing big end shells and or rings?

    cheers

    The only way I will do this design is with a VW exchange head, I priced up all the tools and it was over £1k and it would take me years to make that back. A fully built (sans injectors) almost ready to fit head for an early CNEA/CSHA is £2551.43 inc VAT retail or £2683.07 for the later 2015 version head, it is the early ones which go **** up. and you get the head bolts - for what you get it is cracking value.
