Timing belt trick. How To Put TDI Cambelt Back On: Volkswagen - Audi - Seat - skoda
This worked for me on Jaguar XF 2017: Chock Wheels before Starting this procedure !!! 1) Start Engine 2) Put in Neutral (N) 3) Hold EPB Down 4) Turn Off Engine 5) Turn ignition on (Don't Start) 6) Hold EPB switch in "off" position for two seconds, then, keeping it pressed, floor the accelerator for two seconds. 7) Holding both in the same position, toggle ignition off then on rapidly - EPB goes to "service" or "maintenance" mode. 8) Turn ignition off and replace pads. 9) To Reset Start Engine and Put in Park (P) 10) To reset EPB - Turn ignition on first 11) Hold EPB switch in "On" position for two seconds, then, keeping it pressed, floor the accelerator for two seconds. 12) Holding both in the same position, toggle ignition off then on rapidly - EPB will reset. Don't forget to remove Chocks !!!
Thanks for taking the time to comment and all the information.
Is that a diesel?
It is.
I have a 2015 countryman, r60, with the same pulley and idler. After unscrewing, I can't get the pulley out over the water pump. I've seen in another video that i may need to remove the engine mount and raise or lower the engine. Ouch. Be sure to bleed air out at the thermostat. I picture of where that is between the wires hoses and pipes would be helpful.
Cheers mate sorted job done
Your welcome!
While you're there, put in a 7mm EGR restrictor plate. It'll still pass emissions, and it won't throw codes at that level of restriction. You'll have many less headaches down the line.
Very helpful! Instructions were perfect. Thank you!
Your welcome. Happy to help.
Nobody tells us how to remove the electric plug on the cylinder at the bulkhead.
It’s quite easy. Push plug inwards the use a screwdriver push into release tab ,gently twist, it should click. It will then pull off. It’s easy once you have done it a few times. Try practicing on a easier accessible clip. Good luck!
Audi a4 1.8t quattro???
Have tried all part shop didn't recognise that name.
How do I get spacer shim.
There is a link in the description. Alternatively I believe I have a kit with seal that I can list on eBay. I need to check Monday though. Just let me know.
Is this a 2011 vw touran
What size is the torx screw holding it to the bracket?
Thank you very much.😊
Your welcome. Super thanks accepted. Lol.
All this to change a headlight bulb. Feckin ridiculous!!
Great video, did you drain the oil and coolant first or just prepare for a bit of spillage?
Thanks. I drained the coolant and replaced with fresh. Just put a oil catch pan underneath for the oil leakage and topped up. Thanks for your comment.
very useful thanks
Your welcome.
Is the 2022 ecosport engine the same?
It is similar i believe.
@@How2FixIt1 Because some say it's not a belt, it's a chain.
@garaj1249 that I don’t know. Maybe you should do a little research.
My air doesn't work at all, I've replaced the resistor, blower motor itself etc, can't figure out why and I have no clue what location the fuses are in. Any help?
What happens when this option doesn't exist? Is there a dipstick i can just pull from?
Hello,are there still a lot of these problems with 110 hp model from 2023?
Thanks this video confirms what my visual look of how to remove it came up with My symptoms are needle will rise to 80 first off then drop and stay rock bottom most of journey
Great video guide on this thanks, my corsa had started losing coolant and then overheating and dumping it out of expansion tank looked at the water pump and looks like leaking has started car has only 51k on it is that normal for breakdown of water pump on corsa?
Excellent step-by-step instruction which perfectly matched everything I found on my own 2015 Golf SE ... thank you! The only exception I found was at the very end to release the bulb itself; my lens assembly did not have any plastic ring to turn to release the bulb. Instead, it uses a wire spring clip with 2 "ears" that need to be released from a notch on each side using needle-nose pliers, then the bulb pulls straight out. Perhaps this variation in the bulb holder has to do with my Golf having the auto-leveling headlight option?
What about torque on all bolts? Especially crank bolt? :o Have seen they use specual tool for that 😮
Hi after i've reinitialised the service light i've got an error code P25A2 and the Check engine,ESC and brake light on, later i tried to enter the ABS ecu and it does not let me enter to either read the codes or do activactions
Just stop buying cars with cambelts !!!
Just bought a 2019 rifter, 6 months ago, never hear about this problem before. Bugger me when i put my foot down i get low engine oil pressure and car says stop, I pull over switch the car off and eait then back on and we are good to go, I need to replace the belt i guess i cant keep pulling over 😢
Yup. That’s the oil strainer clogged.

When cleaning the head did you ensure all the valves were closed? Thanks
I have the same problem with my pedal so I’m trying this and that cap is not releasing as easily as it did for you.
Es gibt Leute die fahren diese Motoren schon über 200000km und das ohne Probleme! Voraussetzung natürlich man verwendet exakt das vorgeschriebene Motoröl (vom Hersteller). Bei anderen Ölen kann es tatsächlich so aussehen...
thanks, to the point.
thanks, to the point.
Hi iv changed the map sensor and still won’t rev over 3000 rev any idea
Have you cleared the fault codes?
you have to replace the crank retainner, the water o ring on the timing chain cover, the valve cover gasket and exhaust gasket to get a perfect job!
I am struggling to remove the big positive from the alternator
I would never buy any car that's got a wet belt its a stupid idea . I used to like the pinto engines. You could change the belt yourself in less than an hour and with the 2.0 litre engine they were non interference so if it snapped as mine did it caused no damage to the engine.
Am I the only person on the entire internet that has a faulty switch?
Anything is possible!
I want know Ford fiesta timing marks
What is bonnet release?
Hood, engine cover, if your English- bonnet. Lol
Hi is this being done on a 1.6 diesel j10 Qashqai ? Thanks
Hmm after timing belt change my HPFP is making a rattling noise. Garage thinks air came inside and now it’s broken :( so belt has to come off again i see
I would suspect timing is out if it wasn’t doing it before the belt.
@@How2FixIt1yea when I took it back they retimed it. Said it lost the timing.
@@UrZNL that doesn’t sound reassuring!
@UrZNL that doesn’t sound right to me. A engine doesn’t just loose it’s timing. Mmm concerning!
@@How2FixIt1 yea I think it sounded weird too! Shouldn’t be possible due to the notched design of the belt
Thank you mate keep going
Cheers!
I've commented on so many videos concerning the wet belt system ,the designers/ engineers? What the hell were they thinking order from above, an fl,and lubrication works ,for a short time,😂
I Got Vauxhall Crossland Turbo X, do all of these cars eventually end up with Wet belt issues or is it a percentage. Mine is 2018, 25k on clock, at he moment its fine but always thinking what if.
I think the later ones like yours are less prone. But I can say only time will tell. If that engine light comes on when reving engine, you will most likely know what it is before you do a code scan.
Does this apply to a clutch pedal on a vw touran 6 speed that is staying very low , nr the floor . Note the clutch has been slipping a little also .!? Thanks for the video info .👏✌️
If the end of the gearbox looks the same yes. If the clutch is slipping though, I would have thought it was the clutch that’s worn. How many miles has it done?
@@How2FixIt1 64500 only .. but a replacement box and clutch ( not a new clutch ) about a yr ago as 5-6 th gear went ..
Helpful video. Thank you for taking the time pal. (I'd loose the music.😂)
Thanks for your comment. Advice received. Cheers.
You misidentified the clutch cylinders. The one mounted on the engine firewall is the master cylinder, not the slave. It is the master who controls the slave.
I knew that. And can’t believe I never noticed that mistake and the many thousands of views too. Cheers lol.
