installing TIMING BELT 1.8t volkswagen audi (torque specs)

[@jakenrds111]

lol the reason you had to realign to tdc is probably cause you’re rotating the engine backwards causing even more excess slack. If your doing a timing job you should know to only rotate the engine the direction the engine actually runs in!

[@b.edwardcline8091]

Why are you turning the engine COUNTER CLOCKWISE???

[@jasperpenris]

I saw that too. Not a good idea

[@ronaldhaefner8515]

Yup, agree it was rotated anticlockwise. Good video.

[@jigsey.]

Very informative know wonder my machenic charges 400 euro for new timing belt and pump

[@FlyinRyan10]

am i able to just loosen the tensioner and remove the timing belt if im not replacing the cam/crank seals? all the diy instructions have you removing the cam/crank sprockets...ive done timing chains on a q5 and had to remove the sprockets for the cams so wasnt sure. thanks

[@jiujit49]

Nice trick to just remove one bolt out of the hydraulic tensioner, ty!

[@noel5ilv3rlake]

I don’t know but my grandfa has told me that “ No backward rotations more than 45 degrees or the direction of the engine on TB of vag vehicles “. 😂
Yep, I’ll be going to do TB on 1.8 soon but yes I need so many pros n cons on doing so …

[@Larry8156]

I is that tentioner self adjust?

[@XxWOLF117xX]

Is this what u do when you lose the timing marks? ie broken timing belt

[@24welly]

Don't use a chain on cam gear any bruising will shred the belt ,so many bad idea's on youtube

[@johnydub7346]

Good thing ur engine not interference or else wouldn't run anymore rotated backward 😂

[@fs0c1ety_bs92]

Danger.....do not rotate the engine anticlockwise

[@andrewthag]

is there danger if the timing assembly is fully assembled and you're turning with the engine off?

[@dumbeezy5480]

@@andrewthag Nope as long as you’re only rotating the engine clockwise you’ll be fine
