    Hi Glen,

    If its the same as the audi engines (which i think it is) then its a RIBE type tool you require, but it is not a standard ribe socket as used on alfa's and fiats but a special VAG tool. The VAG tool number is 3452 but i sourced one from a local motor factors.

      Hi Glen,

      I found this for you on the net backing up totally what Mark said, this is from the Golf 1.8T manual, also I sent you a PM with a link.
