This guy's YouTube channel is essentially solely responsible for allowing me to work on this MCS. Just having the full process recorded has been hugely helpful, as these cars are a fair bit more complicated than VWs tend to be (due to the requirement of compactness).

My chain is not making any noise .I thought it would be a lot easier to just keep most everything together and put a little tension on the chain to keep it from coming off the bottom sprocket and slip the guides in from the top. If that is not possible ilI' wait till I get some noise. Thanks for the response. A Curtis
