Hi Kevin, Thanks a million. I understand in principle but am more at ease doing it with your confirmation. One further question as I'm removing to check the crank and woodruff key. Am I expecting to see a standard VW woodruff key or is there a likelihood of a custom woodruff key setup?
Appreciate you taking the time to reply.
