Thank you very helpful, 👍
Fan belt and tensioner keep on breaking after replacing. I am in JHB can you recommend someone that is clued up on this?
Go with shorter belt 6x1550 Not 1555
Why some amarok.have 2 batteries?
Greetings Willem do you have a trusted mechanic in and around JHB that is clued about the Amarok especially the belt issue? I have replaced my belt three times already and I think I need to take the vehicle to someone that can offer a permanent solution.
Willem, tänx for Your video!
Hi Willem! Hoe kontak ek jou? Ek sukkel deesdae met my Amarok. Voel of alles so stuk-stuk begin op pak. Ek weet nie veel van karre nie en sal graag wil hoor of jy dalk kan uithelp. Dankie, groete!

So my red wire that comes off the RCA lead at the stereo needs a 12v supply then it should work? Thanks 👍
Thanks mate great video.
Absolute legend! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! You have no idea how much this has helped me along with your head unit removal video. I'd buy you a beer or a good feed if I could. Wish you and your family nothing but more blessings in life. Love from Australia :)
Amazing, thanks for making the video and helping everyone docthe job themselves ❤
Stupid place for the bracket having to loosen off the ecu, good job I watched this !

Hallo Willem hoeveel ure is die werk op die Amarok
Is the V belt and the timing belt, the same, my car's V belt snapped but the car could still start but it showed the car not charging
No the poly v belt drives the alternator, power steering pump and AC compressor. The timing belt drives the cam shaft, water pump and diesel pump, is it a toothed belt and is timing sensitive. It is wise however if your amarok does not have the cover on the poly v belt to check that no pieces of the poly belt entered the housing protecting the timing belt. When the poly belt snapped and the timing belt is still fine and the car runs fine then it should start and you can drive it. However your battery will run flat from the electrics drawing power from it... I have with a few trics done abouth 360kms gravel road in Nam with a snapped poly v belt... No alternator, not power steering and no AC... So it can be done. I have however rewired my elctrical system in the back to use my lithium battery to power my ECU so I could keep going. Not really advised to do if you don't know what you are doing, but it is possible...
Thanks for making this video
Hi thanks for sharing such informative video very precise I have a question do I need to remove the cam gear in order to remove the cam sensor
I wish I can find someone like you near me. The guys coming over to see say that they couldn’t do it without getting under the car, ie ramp. The car is sitting on my driveway 😢
Damn, what a mission. Everytime I think I can do this myself, I come back to your videos and immediately decide this is a job for my mechanic 😂. But I enjoy watching these nonetheless, thank you.
Nice video, the cut before the panel fell off again had me rolling 😂
thanks man,very helpfull
Thanks Willem, very informative, I’ll be doing mine in the morning 👌👌👌👌
Thanks great help for changing my damaged wingmirror and how to access the connections 👍🏼
Hi Willem, my belt starts making a noise only when I turn sharply in either direction. When the wheels are straight there's no noise. Could it be a tensioner issue or maybe the belt being stretched?
Mine does the same, thought it was my power steering pump, but today my tensioner pulley broke out and belt shredded to pieces, wonder if these works together
Great video thanks, did you support the engine when you removed the mount?
I supported it only for a short while till I had the engine mount back. And after that I did support it under the front so that the engine don't tip forward to much...
@willemtreurnicht3818 thanks for the reply, only need to remove it to get access to the turbos oil supply pipe as its cracked. I don't have a crane or engine beam tho so hopping I could just support the engine with a plank of wood under the sump...
Hi Willem. I have just bought a 2016 amarok. It has the updated cover around the serpentine belt. There is a whining sound and an unpleasant harshness which changes with rpm and increases with power-steering load. It also increases as the alternator switches o n and ramps up after starting the engine. I suspect a worn out serpentine belt causing vibration and micro-slippages on the pulleys. I can feel the micro-slippages through the power-steering feedback on idle. I have had similar micro slippages and whining happen on a BMW i had long ago which was solved with a new serpentine belt. In your opinion would this be related to the belt only or a combination of the belt and tensioner?
Hi Have a look at the clutch pulley on the alternator. It's a one way clutch which can cease up and cause vibrations on the serpentine belt... That in time will eat up you tensioner, and if you're unlucky it will have you stand on the side of the road, and if your very unlucky the pieces of the serpentine belt will get into the cambelt and cause that to slip, which can in turn bend valves etc... So check out the alternator pulley as well as the tensioner on the serpentine belt, if neccesary replace both, plus the idler and the belt... If that does not solve the problem you at least know that those items are sorted, then look further to the AC compressor and power steering pump... Hope it helps.
@@willemtreurnicht3818 Thank you!! My amarok has the seperate covers over the timing belt and serpentine belt. I have just replaced the timing belt, timing belt tensioner and idler. Serpentine belt and serpentine belt tensioner/pulley assembly. While the belts were off I personally inspected the alternator pulley clutch, power steering pump pulley bearing, and AC compressor pulley bearing. All perfect. I also flushed and replaced the power-steering fluid. After all of those, still the whining noise with rpm and steering load. I guess the power steering pump itself must be worn out then.
Hydraulic power-steering sucks. I have had a bunch of cars/suvs with electric power steering before and it's FAR superior. It has greater actuation force than Hydraulic, and can be turned on when being towed even if the engine can't start. Amarok was far behind on this especially by the 2016-2019 period.
Thanks a lot for making this video. Very helpful.
Although I am fairly versed with working on VWs the first part of this was a bit tricky. Thank you very much 🤙
Thanks for the video. Do you perhaps know where the reverse light switch is located? Seems like my switch is faulty.
It sits on top of the gearbox. possible to take out from the bottom but might make swear just a little bit if you haven't done it before... ;-)
Just finished changing my battery thanks to this video.
Great vids I'm doing my own clutch currently I find some steps not needed bu I thinks that's mainly because I have diferent tools like I never had to remove the engine mout to get the starter off and the bolt under the starter for the bell housing
Yep the more tools te easier the work becomes... But at the time you must make do with what you have... ;-)
Just wondering why you have to put engine in top dead centre for the rear main I have my clutch to do I plan on replacing the rear Maine
It's simply a step to make sure that you have got the timing on the metal ring exactly right. If you use the timing tool for the rear main oil seal it will also require you to lock the engine in TDC. That is your default position for anything to be lined up that's got a position reference on the crank or camshaft.
50,000 km is ridiculous.. Mine went at 185,000 but it also damaged the idler. I tell you what, removing the front cover is an absolute pain the ass. Took me hours, I had to cut a screwdriver, grind it back to thicken the flat edge, and clamp it with vice grips. So far I haven't had to remove any coolant hoses. Waiting for new pulleys. I though it was my alternator pulley that was noisy, so I bought an alternator. Mind you the alternator pulley does have a wee bit of a tiny squeak to it, but flows freely and clutch works really well. So I will change it, just in case.
Very helpful
What size spline u using on the flywheel too take it off
Hey man, how do I locate engine mount on amarok 2014 tdi 2.0...I can't get oil pan out. It was leaking before ... after undone I can't get it out... Please help me as to how to locate the engine mount so I can lift the engine to access the sum and clean it out...
You need use the computer programmeing software to enable ignition sence for the radio to power on using the gpio pin 10: …
I have 1 to do tomorrow wish me luck
Thank you for making this! Using it real time while changing out my battery😂😂
I'm surprised that the German engineers envisioned the removal of the engine mount to fit one F'ing bolt.
Well they didn't really, that's why there's different torque specs for the bolt for when you re-use it... But I get your point, it's unfortunately just one of those bolts.
Nice one ,I think the manual states the the light can be removed by gently pushing it back. That is why people are having trouble I think.
hola, puedes indicarme cuantas libras pies de torque le diste a los tornillos de flywheell ?
At 1st glance it looked like a big task to replace the battery on my Amarok but your video made it easier by knowing what to expect and where to loosen everything. Thank you very much.
Wheres ya shoes sir 🫣🫣
Where does the breather pipe go
Thanks so much Willem for taking the time to create this very informative instructional video. it has possibly saved me over $1000. i have a question, my 1st gear and now 2nd, 3rd and reverse will not go in straight away, and at the same time as this happened the ABS sensor light came on. i have a 4wd with transfer case, 2ha model. do you think these ae related?
Waar kan ek die kit koop my fan belt het gebreek en daar het n stuk in gegaan by die inspek holl en ek dink hy het n tand of twee gesprin ek hoop net hy het nie welfs gebuig nie
Hi Ove got a Amarok 2.0BiTdi 4motion 2011 Manuel Gearbox that i hawe a wired problem with, When I go from first to second gear I get a sound like I’m missing the klutsh but seams like it’s only wen it’s cold so my question is what gearbox oil should I use? And if you may know what the problem can be?
It can be the syncro rings in the gearbox itself, but then again your clutch might not fully disengage. That again could come back to a master but most likely a slave cylinder issue on the clutch.
Thank you. Mine was a little reluctant to come out and I was wary of trying too hard in case I broke something.
