Yessir thank you again I’ve subscribed to your channel and shared your video with a few friends who have VW’s pertaining to the year of the vehicles you instructed this video is great for. Happy holidays and Happy New Year to you my friend 🤙🏾
@PictureProStudiosi did it myself, and what I'm trying to say is if you are a beginner like me make sure you leave 2 days for this work, and MOST IMPORTANT thing is if you stucked in removing the Intake manifold that is because there is one more Bracket screw below, ill give this video 99/100 cuz this video is perfect and detailed to let me saved my car but only thing missed is the god damn bracket screw stucked me 2 days. I just can't take the manifold off, this is not author's fault cuz After I removed the screw, I did not put it back.😂
Hey man, I really really appreciate this video. I was facing a major cost of repair, and following this slowly I was able to do this. The most painful part for me, was truly that stabilizing mount for the intake manifold. Really challenging to get to, but I managed it. Caught me by surprise, but you do have a pinned vided to it and I figured it out. In that process I found the waterpump had failed, but was also able to clean up and diagnose several other issues while everything was out. Some of those plugs are really challenging to undo, but again you helped me understand how to disconnect those without causing breaks. I was fortunate that none of the injectors came out, but it was tricky with the injector electrical plugs. I also replaced the intake manifold gasket since it was out, as well as did the full deep cleaning of the carbon deposits. Lots of videos on that process, felt like a dentist. Again, truly appreciate your videos, made me feel back in control of my vehicle.
This video is fantastic! I had to replace the water pump on my 2012 EOS, this helped tremendously. I would add for everyone, while you have the intake manifold apart, clean everything before reassembling. It was mentioned in the video, but want to emphasize that. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to show us a super clear break down of the process. Gives you the best description of the how to do it!! First time working on a VW after this video I’m sure will get the job done!! If a 3 year old watch this video he will definitely learn how to take the water pump off that’s how great he explains everything! Great video
Thank you for the kind words! Really appreciated! Also, in the video description there is another video on the hidden bracket that must be removed to get the intake manifold off. When I made the video that particular vehicle didn’t have one a forgot to mention it, just a heads up! Good luck if you get stuck give me a holler.
Thanks! While this video didn't have the aluminum bracket under the manifold, it was very good. You saved my daughter $1800 and it was possible in larger part because of the video. One recommendation: i took out the large hose (about a 7" section) under the manifold in order to cleanly reinstall the manifold.
@@mwm13 my bolt was a M8 triple square spline bit along with a couple extensions and a magnet extension to correctly move it into place. If i could upload photos i would...
@@kevkev7164 I got the 13MM nut off the top of the brace but I can’t see where the bottom even goes. I have to take a break and google a bit more I guess. Do you have a picture you’d be willing to email me?
This video saved my ass!!! I have a 2014 CC and i learned the hard way that an oil leak will cause the seal to expand and crack the plastic. I was able to get a new water pump in there so i can get to work and next week i can deal with the valve cover. This is one of the best tutorial videos I've seen and I'll 100% be checking back when i have other work to do. Thank you for making this!!!!
Bro check for your oil filter housing. I own a cc an goin thru some oil leaks an just found out where it's coming from. If you got an oil leak that's running down you oil pan then check your oil filter housing. The oil is running down the block in between the ac compressor onto the oil pan. The gaskets in the oil filter housing is bad an may e the engine oil cooler just replace those gaskets an you should be fine. Also replace you upper timing cover gaskets an o ring 💯💯
@TherealHimOG that's the next step lol. We got a new water pump, upper timing cover (I upgraded to an aluminum one) and now I'm working on the oil filter housing
@pinkpapafranku lol yea I did all of those too lol. Just recently seen that my oil pressure sensor was stripped so I have to replace the housing but they're cheap on ebay & Amazon and luckily it's an easy fix just have to remove the belt, alternator & ac compressor and it's right there no intake removal whatsoever
To motorcarnut, i have a 2012 vw eos with currently 72000 miles on it, i know that somewhere down the road i am going to need a thermostst or waterpump or something down in that area and this video that i just saw that you made was incredible to watch, i have already had to replace the temperature sensor in the waterpump housing due to failure and after knowing what i had to go through for that and knowing that some day i will have to replace the waterpump, watching this very through video i will be able to tackle it, but you did an incredible job creating this video along with explaining everything, while taking all this stuff apart now is the time to replace the waterpump, the thermostat, the tempetature sensor and any "o" rings and gaskets while its apart at the time for whatever you are already doing, for the few extra bucks for parts, now is the time to do it to save yourself tear down time in the future, again thanks for the great video.
Excellent video - followed it and it saved me a lot of time and effort. The only thing I would add is the challenge of installing the belt. Turning the crankshaft 24mm bolt clockwise while pushing the belt onto the pulley (after pump installation) was key (also using the yellow washer thing that came on the pump).
@@motorcarnut I tried that and seemed to fight the pump while trying to line up the pin holes. I was probably not doing it correctly and went to Plan B.
Very comprehensive video! Congratulations! As an owner of the grandfather of the TSI engine , having a g60 motor into a Passat Syncro, ( 325.000 km.), unopened for repair, make some unavoidable comparisons. At that era, (1990), users complaining that the g60 engine was very complicated and fragile. The real life saw that it was, simply, so much ahead for the era, (of the 90's), but for nowadays, too. With an ABT kit, (@ 200 hp), works for 32 years without a glitch, having so much better qualities, (every part is made of aluminum and the notorious supercharger of the exotic magnesium). (Of course, the car was and is for every day use and not for races). I service her in person, without being a mechanic, and tomorrow I am going to change, by my self, for the first time in 325.000 km., the water pump which is, in comparison to the TSI's pump, a miracle of technology in its simplicity, quality and durability. Not to forget that the g60 supercharger, supposed, at that era, to be a grenade , works perfectly, (the 3rd generation), and is proved to be more durable than the TSI's turbos and superchargers, without problems , having a M.T.F. of ~200.000 km.. As for the timing chain of the TSI, you know... The g60 has a timing belt working silently, (no diesel sound but rather a turbine), and, just in the case you forget to change it, the g60, as a non interference engine, remains without any damage! (It happened to me once). Please, if you think this post is irrelevant, delete it. Thank you for your time. The Syncro Heresy
Well done! I appreciate the clear and concise explanations. When doing this waterpump replacement on my 2017 CC I noticed that this car has an additional manifold support which connects the midsection of the manifold to the lower engine block. This support is an aluminum casting, about 8" long - exceedingly difficult to get to the bolts! I also recommend replacing the water pump belt and the manifold gasket. Thanks again.
Thank you very much for your support!, You are correct. I added this video to the description after I made it because some vehicles don't have that brace and forgot to mention it in this video. Yes definitely a great recommendation. ua-cam.com/video/pihBmXjRh4Y/v-deo.html
My friend, you’re the best I have seen!!! I believe that you should be a teacher, or an instructor, or a guide, or anything for others to learn because you’re excellent on showing people what to do. You made this task a lot easier for me to work on the water pump of my Tiguan. I have saved a lot of money and time! Thank you very much.
Thank you! I was following another video and got the intake manifold removed and was almaot ready to give up because I coiikdnt follow what they were doing when removing the pump. You made it perfectly clear. Much appreciated.
Amazingly thorough! Was planning to take the Tiguan to the dealer to replace the water pump but your video was so detailed, I did it myself. Many Many Thanks!
Nice, I have watched all the videos that replace-remove the intake manifold and this is honestly my favorite- I gained more info from you than the professional guy! My 2012 beetle turbo water pump is now replaced!
yep, I've watched 20+ on youtube so far. Not joking. This is the best one by far. I'm about to start and first thing I'm doing is setting laptop up next to car before I get going lol
Thanks for this video. My Saturday is gone, but I still have $1000 in my pocket. For some reason my kit was missing those 2 big o-rings for pump/hose connection. Ran to 4 stores with no luck. The old ones looked really good though, so hopefully no leak in a future. Thanks again for taking time and making this video
Great! Glad to hear its fixed. I know the local auto parts or dealers never have what you. But you are probably fine if it's not leaking when you put it back together it won't leak.
Just did this job, without having to take the intake manifold off. This video was very helpful, however and it's a great tutorial. I was able to save time and not disturb the fuel system, by taking the air box out, along with the throttle body, intake manifold bracket and turbo intercooler pipe rubber. My water pump had plastic break off at the seal and the gasket itself had bowed.
Awesome! Yes I have done them with taking off the manifold as well, but for me it’s way easier. And the the inexperienced first timers it’s go to “see” what you’re taking off, lol. Good job though!
Good luck! You got this! and there may be this hidden part on yours that must be removed to get the manifold off. ua-cam.com/video/pihBmXjRh4Y/v-deo.html
Great video! Just wanted to point out that there's a bracket supporting the intake manifold to the engine block. Keep up the fantastic work, and thanks for sharing your expertise!
Thanks for the info! And really appreciate the feedback. Yes, there is one and a-lot of time they are missing because most people don't put them back but should.
There is a bracket bolted to the bottom of the manifold and the front of the engine block that has to be removed before you can pull the manifold. This turned a four hour job into 8 hours and a trip to buy a set of triple square sockets. Needless to say this was pretty frustrating since it wasn't even mentioned in this vid. I thought I was completely ready to make this repair, then had send my daughter back to college without her car. Hopefully MotorCarNut will caption the vid or pin a comment to address this glaring oversite. Also all of my injectors stayed in the block instead of coming away with the intake manifold. I would recommend checking for leaks after the pump is connected & BEFORE reinstalling the manifold, I rolled an O ring on the union and had to start from scratch to correct it. Lastly if you have dual plastic coolant pipes to the aux water pump on the bottom of the car, change to metal ones. I got them from Amazon for 30 bucks and took an extra 5 min, mine were super brittle.
Sorry, I did. You should have read the video description, it's in there. Not all vehicles have that bracket and the vehicle in the video didn't either. When I realized that I added another video link explaining that bracket it to the video description.
its easier to put the injectors in the head first, then put the manifold on. the injector seals should all be replaced also but some people have had success without changing them. Nice job either way
I was going to say the same thing (since that what the manuals in Elsawin prescribe) but how do you access the connectors for the injectors? It looks like the cable assembly is one part with the intake manifold, so these connectors are inaccessible once the intake manifold is on. 2nd question: Shouldn't the belt be replaced as well?
I have a oil leak coming water pump area is probably from oil cooler . I will replace water pump as is leaking but not knowing how to fix oil leak.Thank you very much for your videos!😊
Thank you! When you take off the water pump you’ll have a better idea where it’s coming from. The oil cooler has a seal from the block but rarely ever leak, make sure it’s not the valve cover
Great video with lots of details! Thank you! Is there an easy way to replace just the thermostat without having to take the intake off? My water pump is pretty new but the thermostat is stuck open. 2012 VW CC. Thanks again!
This video was amazing. Great details and step by step instructions. I think I need to replace my water pump on my 15 CC and this is perfect. Thank you
Would be helpful if u showed how to take some of this stuff off I had to stop and go watch other videos just to see what u weren’t expecting but thank you for this it helped me
Alright, thank you for this video I just got done replacing the water pump and intake manifold, so crazy how they made this engine very frustrating, but I got er done, thank you again. SUBBED
Awesome video, I’m using it to replace the pump on my 2017. I’ve followed all steps but something seems to be holding the manifold in. I can get it about 1-2” away from the engine but it won’t come up I’ll have to watch a few more times!
There is a metal support brace that goes from the bottom of the throttle body to the engine block that some vehicles have and some don’t. I forgot to mention that. Sorry
Hey! Great video. I’m stuck trying to get the manifold out, I got all the torx and 10mm nuts off- I might have missed if you mentioned in the video if there’s a support bracket underneath the manifold. Something is keeping the thing stuck - it’s 1/2” out already but won’t budge. Help anyone! Thanks!
@@motorcarnutright on! Now I’m struggling to find replacement bolts for the water pump- it was previously replaced apparently and they stripped the bolts I had to chisel a couple out. Going to call VW tomorrow
NICE JOB bro! Looks coolant need change! The coolant bad color..! All so.. gasket on this pump is not oil resistant!!! Oil some times drops on the gaskets from intake!🎉🎉🎉
Nice video, I just watched it 3 times and ordered the parts. Should I replace the fuel injectors and how can I do a carbon cleaning since I'm already taking everything apart? I just subscribed and liked! Lastly, I will be doing brakes (pads and rotors) all the way around on my TSI 2.0L I'LL TIP ONCE I COMPLETE it! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for the sub and comment, much appreciated! If the fuel injectors were fine before I wouldn’t change them, they rarely go bad, as for the carbon cleaning, I always take the head off. There are a couple of ways to do it but not really that effective. Walnut blasting is the best way but requires special equipment. You could try to clean it with some carb cleaner and a pick but some carbon will fall into the cylinders so be careful. These engine do build up a lot of carbon however.
If it is not damaged, leave it alone. Rarely rarely they go bad, have opened plenty of ea888 engines w 200k miles and more, never the water pump belt was in bad shape. It is difficult! As it is reverse thread and if I recall uses a 12mm, but if for whatever reason you strip that bolt, you will NEVER be able to replace the balance shafts (IF they need to be serviced), unless you pull the transmission out and access the bolt from the freeze plug. I highly recommend don't mess with the belt unless it is a must and like I said it is reverse thread.
My water pump just went today, I’ll be doing this because of this video! Is there any special procedure you have to do when adding fluid? Do you recommend flushing the system first? I’m also thinking of changing all the hoses out as well while I’m doing this too. Great video!
Thank you very much!, Yes, some vehicles have an aluminum brace that goes from under throttle body to engine block that is not in the video because some don't have one and yours may. 13MM nut to throttle body and triple square bolt to block. I would flush heater core, I have a video on that as well because have many vehicles that had low heat output and recommended. No special procedure for filling coolant system. You get stuck give me a holler. Good luck!
@@motorcarnut Just got the manifold back on! Hey you made a comment that I'm sure I'm taking too literal but I gotta double check after all this work. You said after I put the injector manifold back on and the injectors are seated that it shouldn't wiggle. Well, mine wiggles some if I wiggle it but the injectors resist being pulled out so it feels like it is seated. I definitely do not want to continue if it is not seated right. I haven't put any bolts in to secure it but you mentioned how those little pieces of place on the injectors line up with the opening. Should it not wiggle at all, even without any mounting bolts back in? I even got a picture lol squeeze my phone down there
What I mean is the injectors have to be at a certain angle so they go into the head without hitting the sides of the head where the slots are. Once they are seated properly push the manifold with both hands towards the head to make sure the manifold gasket is even all around and touching all four cylinder ports. If one injector is hanging up the manifold won’t be fully seated and will wiggle or rock from side to side. This is all before you put the screws in. Hope that makes sense
@@motorcarnut yep makes total sense, I just take stuff too literal all the time lol and had to double check. You are the Man, I'd love to throw you some dinner or beer money to say thank you, for real!
I want to change de oil cooler too because the oil it goes 10º/15º degrees hotter than it should be i think it might be de oil cooler . I suppose that if i follow the steps of the video to the 19:00 min , its simple unscrew the oil cooler and put the new one right? Awesome video!
Hope this finds someone that may have been in the same predicament as me. I worked on a 2012 CC and it has an aluminum bottom bracket that goes from the bottom of the manifold down to the block. You have to remove a nut on the manifold and a bolt on the block (M10 I think). Other than that great video!
Thanks for the comment. I did mention that support brace, however that vehicle’s one was missing. Usually mechanics don’t put them back for some reason.
Today i changed the water pump. The only issue i had was a bracket under manifold. Your video did not show it. I was like wtf. Why wont it come off. I pulled a few times said something isnt write. Got it off. Was 1 10 mm nuts and another torque. I have a 2012 volkswagon cc 2.0 tsi. Just a heads up for anyone that has the same. Took me a lil while to figure out. Thank you great video besides that
great video and tutorial. I don't know the anatomy of these vehicles at all so i paid a euro guy to swap a motor and within a week I'm noticing coolant getting low. sure enough it's from the area near the water pump and he's not wanting to repair. using your process I got it well until the point was yanking it out. got separation for about 2 inches then its stuck solid. Won't come out or back in. Like I'm missing a bolt or something in the middle. I removed the throttle body hose because it felt like the hang up might be there. is there a possible bracket or something different added to a 2011 CC? Either way than you so much for the process! It would have taken me 3 times as long to get to this point. My next step is to start removing throttle body and brackets just to be able to see better.
How in the world do you disconnected the connector at 6:05 I can not do it for the life of me and my connector is facing downwards so I can’t even get a good grip on the tab or the connector
I replaced the water pump with an aluminum one and leaks from hose connectors and temp sensor started to develop, my assumptions is that aluminum swells and contracts with heat and cold that crushes o-rings and deforms the plastic connectors. Finally decided the best fix is to replace the aluminum one with a plastic one after replacing both upper and lower hoses and developing leaks again.
No problem!

Incredible video. I'm trying to help out a buddy who's in a tough place. He has a 2006 Passat 2.0t. Fsi engine. How much different could it be? I'm pretty mechanically inclined, just wondering if this video would help me out enough to where I can figure out the rest. Thank you!!
Thank you! They are pretty different engine and this video wouldn’t help you much. The FSI engine has a timing belt not chain like the TSI engine also the water pump is completely different as it is driven by the timing belt. If you have access to a library online you can look up the procedure for free. I haven’t had one of those for a long time and believe you need a cam tool as well so might be better to change timing belt with water pump.
Did you have to put the plastic spacers on the fuel injectors ?and are the metal rings with the hooks on the injectors clipped onto the metal flange on the fuel rail holding it in place?
Hey buddy so I did my water pump on my 2012 VW CC Sport after everything was done I had a engine light came on i reset it but it came back on run a test and now it’s saying some gaskets on manifold are leaking
Make sure the intake manifold is completely seated. Sometimes the fuel injectors if not positioned correctly will cause the manifold not to seat all the way
I think they come with the hoses but you can bring the old one to the auto parts store and I’m sure they can match one up for you. I have a whole set that I use so they should have what you need.
I am planning to buy the 2013 VW TSI 1.4L HL Golf MK7 - Was wondering if this water pump is exactly the same for that model. Also could you please share where you got the after market water pump from please. Looks like a good durable option.
thanks for video In my case we are going to replace the chain set the pump is still fine. Is it wise to replace the entire pump with housing or just the pump itself? An is an INA pump (130€) a good choice of should pay 50€ more for an Hepu?
Good question! Yes it has to come off first. The nut that goes to the underside of the throttle body is a 13 mm and the one to the block is a triple square but not sure of the size.
It’s aluminum about 6 inches and connects from the bottom of the throttle body to the block. If for some reason your car doesn’t have it ( missing) the manifold needs some pressure to pull it out because the fuel injectors are pressed in a little
@@motorcarnut the straight long plastic line coming from the back by the intake solenoid with the piece of hose at the end but the one that comes in the intake

I own a 2012 Volkswagen CC 2.0 Sport and I have coolant leak took it to the shop and they said it was the water pump they quoted me $1000 to replace the water pump is that how much and water pump cost ? I can’t seemed to find a good part store for me to buy the water pump by now watching this video I should be able to do it myself
You’re correct. I do so many of these with them missing because for whatever reason they don’t put them back and I forgot to mention it. I will make a note of it in the video. Thanks for the feedback, appreciated
Hey brother, I have always been wanting to ask but I always forget. As far as the injectors when pulling the intake off. Is it really required to reseal the injectors if they don’t stay in the cylinder head?
Can you help out one more time ! How do you get the belt off ? I found the Right wrench, a 12mm on reversed threads but the sprocket keep turning, is there a trick to it or another tool needed? Thanks again
I did this job on a Skoda Octavia Cdaa engine and om that you had to loosen the sprocket on the balance shaft (?) to get the water pump belt on. It is reversed threads yes, and you have to hold the crankshaft so the sprocket doesnt turn.
@@motorcarnut i get that. One other different thing is that there is a bracket underneath the intake manifold which is very hard to see from above. Took a lot of time before I found out why I couldnt remove the intake manifold more than a half inch when I had loosen all the bolts and connectors in your video. Other than that it was exactly the same so thanks for a great video!
Hey friends! It’s me again with another question 😂 So I have a 2012 Volkswagen CC currently that has a weird issue. So I have no heat in the car and it’s overheating to 110C at idle with ambient temperature of 32F. It seems to just overheat to 111C (checked coolant temp with OBDeleven scanner) but it doesn’t pass from there it seems. The precious owner of the vehicle thought it could of been a head gasket issue and added gasket leak repair additive to the coolant. Which the coolant looks like it had orange sparkling flakes inside. I flushed the coolant with distilled water as much as possible but I still believe there is still nasty old coolant with that additive around the heater core. Should my next steps be to flush the heater core and maybe get a water pump/thermostat?
@@motorcarnut well brother… the issue was the coolant cap. I replaced it because el noticed it was just to loose when it should be tight. Now the car doesn’t overheat and the heat is warm but not where it should be. I will be flushing the heater core on the CTAA. Any recommendations on how the flush the coolant system properly? Any additives you recommend…. Should the car be at warm temp. As always…… you are the best brother!!!!!!!
Great bro! Thank you! Really appreciate it! Car should be cold not to burn yourself. Take the 2 heater core hoses off the engine not the firewall. It’s tight back there but can be done. Try about 8 oz of this stuff: www.homedepot.com/p/CLR-1-Gal-Calcium-Lime-and-Rust-Remover-CL4-P/202530301 Blow out the coolant in the hear core with compressed air carefully then add the cleaner let stand for 15 minutes then back flush with hose water both ways. Then refill system. Heat will be hot again
@@motorcarnut just flushed the heater core. Wow… the amounts of slushy brown goodness that came out of it was concerning. I don’t see how it was working properly whatsoever. On a different issue, the car on idle tends to have a strong vibration that shakes the cabin. I’m thinking it could be trans and engine motor mounts considering it has 136k. Any suggestions to diagnose the issue? Thanks for everything!
@@motorcarnutJesus! The belt has a reverse thread bolt, and uses if I remember a 12mm or 13mm close wrench. It is a pain to remove if the bolt is very tight, do not strip it! I made a custom socket, cut it half to make it shorter and where the rachet side I made to flat slanted surfaces to fit an open wrench. This way it is a mini shorty socket (better grip) than a close wrench. I use an open wrench and place where the two flat sides made on the modified socket and that's how I was able to take the bolt out. (Remember reverse thread)
Anyone get a p2568 code before having to replace water pump? I had no cel but wanted to check if there were any codes after battery seemed dead and got the code.
The radiator on some California cars have an Direct Ozone Reduction Sensor refers to a sensor glued to the radiator core, not the coolant temperature sensor, can be disconnected or bad, Also make sure you have no exhaust leaks as well.
My car is at the dealer now to have my water pump replaced. I just wanted to see all they had to take apart to get to it. I'm really nervous now because there is so much to undo and take apart. These guys are so young and the dealer has a reputation for not securing things like they were originally. Once they mess something up - you can't really prove it wasn't that way from the start. My car has 70,000 miles on it and it's covered under warranty (extended warranty). That was like pulling teeth to get them to admit it was covered because (supposedly) they can't 'speak' on it.
@@tabaricurry4668 you gotta give the dealer ur vin num and they'll tell u if it's covered. Mine is 13 vw cc. Just picked it up today. Paid in full by them.

When I made the video that particular vehicle didn’t have one a forgot to mention it, just a heads up! Good luck if you get stuck give me a holler.
Thanks! While this video didn't have the aluminum bracket under the manifold, it was very good. You saved my daughter $1800 and it was possible in larger part because of the video.
One recommendation: i took out the large hose (about a 7" section) under the manifold in order to cleanly reinstall the manifold.
Awesome! And thank you for the donation. Sorry about that brace, the newer ones don’t have them anymore and for to mention it for the older ones.
How did you get the bolt off that brace? I’m working on my 2017 and as soon as I read you comment I saw i have a brace!
@@mwm13 my bolt was a M8 triple square spline bit along with a couple extensions and a magnet extension to correctly move it into place. If i could upload photos i would...
@@kevkev7164 I got the 13MM nut off the top of the brace but I can’t see where the bottom even goes. I have to take a break and google a bit more I guess. Do you have a picture you’d be willing to email me?
absolutely- whats your email.
This video saved my ass!!! I have a 2014 CC and i learned the hard way that an oil leak will cause the seal to expand and crack the plastic. I was able to get a new water pump in there so i can get to work and next week i can deal with the valve cover. This is one of the best tutorial videos I've seen and I'll 100% be checking back when i have other work to do. Thank you for making this!!!!
No problem, thanks for the feedback! much appreciated.
Bro check for your oil filter housing. I own a cc an goin thru some oil leaks an just found out where it's coming from. If you got an oil leak that's running down you oil pan then check your oil filter housing. The oil is running down the block in between the ac compressor onto the oil pan. The gaskets in the oil filter housing is bad an may e the engine oil cooler just replace those gaskets an you should be fine. Also replace you upper timing cover gaskets an o ring 💯💯
@TherealHimOG that's the next step lol. We got a new water pump, upper timing cover (I upgraded to an aluminum one) and now I'm working on the oil filter housing
@pinkpapafranku lol yea I did all of those too lol. Just recently seen that my oil pressure sensor was stripped so I have to replace the housing but they're cheap on ebay & Amazon and luckily it's an easy fix just have to remove the belt, alternator & ac compressor and it's right there no intake removal whatsoever
To motorcarnut, i have a 2012 vw eos with currently 72000 miles on it, i know that somewhere down the road i am going to need a thermostst or waterpump or something down in that area and this video that i just saw that you made was incredible to watch, i have already had to replace the temperature sensor in the waterpump housing due to failure and after knowing what i had to go through for that and knowing that some day i will have to replace the waterpump, watching this very through video i will be able to tackle it, but you did an incredible job creating this video along with explaining everything, while taking all this stuff apart now is the time to replace the waterpump, the thermostat, the tempetature sensor and any "o" rings and gaskets while its apart at the time for whatever you are already doing, for the few extra bucks for parts, now is the time to do it to save yourself tear down time in the future, again thanks for the great video.
Sure, thank you as well really appreciate the comment and feedback and good luck!
Excellent video - followed it and it saved me a lot of time and effort. The only thing I would add is the challenge of installing the belt. Turning the crankshaft 24mm bolt clockwise while pushing the belt onto the pulley (after pump installation) was key (also using the yellow washer thing that came on the pump).
Thank you! The way I do it is to install the belt with the water pump at the same time. Never seemed to have any problems that way?
@@motorcarnut I tried that and seemed to fight the pump while trying to line up the pin holes. I was probably not doing it correctly and went to Plan B.
Hey, you got it done, that's the main thing and thanks for your info, may help others as well.
Very comprehensive video! Congratulations!
As an owner of the grandfather of the TSI engine , having a g60 motor into a Passat Syncro, ( 325.000 km.), unopened for repair, make some unavoidable comparisons.
At that era, (1990), users complaining that the g60 engine was very complicated and fragile.
The real life saw that it was, simply, so much ahead for the era, (of the 90's), but for nowadays, too.
With an ABT kit, (@ 200 hp), works for 32 years without a glitch, having so much better qualities, (every part is made of aluminum and the notorious supercharger of the exotic
magnesium). (Of course, the car was and is for every day use and not for races).
I service her in person, without being a mechanic, and tomorrow I am going to change, by my self, for the first time in 325.000 km., the water pump which is, in comparison to the TSI's pump, a miracle of technology in its simplicity, quality and durability.
Not to forget that the g60 supercharger, supposed, at that era, to be a grenade , works perfectly, (the 3rd generation), and is proved to be more durable than the TSI's turbos and superchargers, without problems , having a M.T.F. of ~200.000 km..
As for the timing chain of the TSI, you know...
The g60 has a timing belt working silently, (no diesel sound but rather a turbine), and, just in the case you forget to change it, the g60, as a non interference engine, remains without any damage! (It happened to me once).
Please, if you think this post is irrelevant, delete it.
Thank you for your time.
The Syncro Heresy
I enjoyed reading this. Engines are not like they used to be that’s for sure. Been saying that for many years. Thanks for the post. Appreciated!
Well done! I appreciate the clear and concise explanations. When doing this waterpump replacement on my 2017 CC I noticed that this car has an additional manifold support which connects the midsection of the manifold to the lower engine block. This support is an aluminum casting, about 8" long - exceedingly difficult to get to the bolts! I also recommend replacing the water pump belt and the manifold gasket. Thanks again.
Thank you very much for your support!, You are correct. I added this video to the description after I made it because some vehicles don't have that brace and forgot to mention it in this video. Yes definitely a great recommendation.

My friend, you’re the best I have seen!!! I believe that you should be a teacher, or an instructor, or a guide, or anything for others to learn because you’re excellent on showing people what to do. You made this task a lot easier for me to work on the water pump of my Tiguan. I have saved a lot of money and time! Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for the sincere feedback! people like you make this all worth while! Take care!
Thank you! I was following another video and got the intake manifold removed and was almaot ready to give up because I coiikdnt follow what they were doing when removing the pump. You made it perfectly clear. Much appreciated.
Great to hear! Thank you very much for the comment!
Amazingly thorough! Was planning to take the Tiguan to the dealer to replace the water pump but your video was so detailed, I did it myself. Many Many Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the comment as well!
How long did it take you
Nice, I have watched all the videos that replace-remove the intake manifold and this is honestly my favorite- I gained more info from you than the professional guy! My 2012 beetle turbo water pump is now replaced!
That’s what I like to hear! Done by yourself and done right! Awesome and thanks for the feedback!
yep, I've watched 20+ on youtube so far. Not joking. This is the best one by far. I'm about to start and first thing I'm doing is setting laptop up next to car before I get going lol
Thank you! Really feels good knowing I’m helping others. Good luck and take your time, you’ll do it like the others.
Thanks for this video. My Saturday is gone, but I still have $1000 in my pocket. For some reason my kit was missing those 2 big o-rings for pump/hose connection. Ran to 4 stores with no luck. The old ones looked really good though, so hopefully no leak in a future. Thanks again for taking time and making this video
Great! Glad to hear its fixed. I know the local auto parts or dealers never have what you. But you are probably fine if it's not leaking when you put it back together it won't leak.
Same thing happened to me, I just inspected them, and they looked good. Made sure the connections were secure.
This is a great video! I need to show this to the mechanic that wouldn’t do the job because the water pump was timing chain driven according to him
Thank you! Nope it’s not.
Just did this job, without having to take the intake manifold off. This video was very helpful, however and it's a great tutorial. I was able to save time and not disturb the fuel system, by taking the air box out, along with the throttle body, intake manifold bracket and turbo intercooler pipe rubber. My water pump had plastic break off at the seal and the gasket itself had bowed.
Awesome! Yes I have done them with taking off the manifold as well, but for me it’s way easier. And the the inexperienced first timers it’s go to “see” what you’re taking off, lol. Good job though!
@@motorcarnut Yep, it's still worth taking off the manifold to clean and have even more space to work with!
I did the same, still stuck getting that belt on before the union...
I used this guide to install my waterpump on my 2009 GTI with a TSI motor. Thank you! 🎉
Awesome! That's what I like to hear! Thanks for the feedback.
The best auto video i have seen.respect earn.
Thank you ! really appreciated!
I’m going to try ! Fingers crossed ! Thank you for the video man
Good luck! You got this! and there may be this hidden part on yours that must be removed to get the manifold off.
ua-cam.com/video/pihBmXjRh4Y/v-deo.html
Perfect step by step from beginning to end instructions brother cant miss anything thanks
No problem 👍 appreciate the feedback!
This is a high quality video. Best intake manifold and water pump DIY video. Thank you for making this!
Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback!
this is one of the best videos Ive ever seen. and im not just talking about VW videos.
Thank you! Really appreciate the comment!
GREAT VIDEO. PUTTING THE BELT BACK ON THE NEW ONE WAS A PAIN. VERY HELPFULL VIDEO
Thank you very much!
How did you get it done? The belt, I am having a hard time right now 🥹
The belt has to go on with the pump at the same time.
Great video! Just wanted to point out that there's a bracket supporting the intake manifold to the engine block. Keep up the fantastic work, and thanks for sharing your expertise!
Thanks for the info! And really appreciate the feedback. Yes, there is one and a-lot of time they are missing because most people don't put them back but should.
How is this bracket removed? An update or pinned comment would have been super helpful since I'm 3 hours in and trying to figure it out.
@bobm1394 you should’ve read the description it’s in there
16:32 mechanic charging for a replacement without doing it.
You do detail work. Keep it up
Yep, I bet they did charge for a new one especially if you can’t see it when everything is installed. I get a lot of other shops mess up’s.
Thanks!
.
There is a bracket bolted to the bottom of the manifold and the front of the engine block that has to be removed before you can pull the manifold. This turned a four hour job into 8 hours and a trip to buy a set of triple square sockets. Needless to say this was pretty frustrating since it wasn't even mentioned in this vid. I thought I was completely ready to make this repair, then had send my daughter back to college without her car. Hopefully MotorCarNut will caption the vid or pin a comment to address this glaring oversite. Also all of my injectors stayed in the block instead of coming away with the intake manifold. I would recommend checking for leaks after the pump is connected & BEFORE reinstalling the manifold, I rolled an O ring on the union and had to start from scratch to correct it. Lastly if you have dual plastic coolant pipes to the aux water pump on the bottom of the car, change to metal ones. I got them from Amazon for 30 bucks and took an extra 5 min, mine were super brittle.
Sorry, I did. You should have read the video description, it's in there. Not all vehicles have that bracket and the vehicle in the video didn't either. When I realized that I added another video link explaining that bracket it to the video description.
Great step by step. This is my next project. I will also replace the gaskets on the oil cooler, and oil filter housing that are leaking.
Thank you ! Good luck!
its easier to put the injectors in the head first, then put the manifold on. the injector seals should all be replaced also but some people have had success without changing them. Nice job either way
Whichever way gets it done and saves money, and thanks for the feedback!
I was going to say the same thing (since that what the manuals in Elsawin prescribe) but how do you access the connectors for the injectors? It looks like the cable assembly is one part with the intake manifold, so these connectors are inaccessible once the intake manifold is on.
2nd question: Shouldn't the belt be replaced as well?
I have a oil leak coming water pump area is probably from oil cooler . I will replace water pump as is leaking but not knowing how to fix oil leak.Thank you very much for your videos!😊
Thank you! When you take off the water pump you’ll have a better idea where it’s coming from. The oil cooler has a seal from the block but rarely ever leak, make sure it’s not the valve cover
Best video I've seen so far well done dude
Appreciate that! Thanks for the comment.
GREAT VIDEO ! Thank you for taking the time to explain in such great detail, I thought it was going to be harder.
Yes …you did save me a lot of money.
Awesome bro!, really appreciate the feedback!
@@motorcarnut where are you located so I can bring my car too you? Lol seriously ugh
Great video with lots of details! Thank you! Is there an easy way to replace just the thermostat without having to take the intake off? My water pump is pretty new but the thermostat is stuck open. 2012 VW CC. Thanks again!
It’s in a tight area and has to be done under the vehicle but it can be done
Lot of details in your video.. you rock Man!!
I appreciate that! Thanks for the feedback!
This video was amazing. Great details and step by step instructions. I think I need to replace my water pump on my 15 CC and this is perfect. Thank you
Thank you very much! I really appreciate the comment .
Maybe you should check your warranty status with a dealer! I did and I was covered under the new warranty. I have a 13 vw cc.
Would be helpful if u showed how to take some of this stuff off I had to stop and go watch other videos just to see what u weren’t expecting but thank you for this it helped me
This video is very popular with great feedback. If you couldn’t follow it 100% just give me a holler!
Alright, thank you for this video I just got done replacing the water pump and intake manifold, so crazy how they made this engine very frustrating, but I got er done, thank you again. SUBBED
@Back1pretzleout thank you very much and glad you got it done! Saved big money and yes they can be a pain
@@motorcarnut also I was wondering if you have you had to replace a faulty metal one yet?
Great video, reminds me of my time in Boston and NY, keep it up you have a subscriber for life
Thank you very much! I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Thank you from Bulgaria!!!!!
Hello Bulgaria! Thanks for the comment!!
Awesome video, I’m using it to replace the pump on my 2017. I’ve followed all steps but something seems to be holding the manifold in. I can get it about 1-2” away from the engine but it won’t come up I’ll have to watch a few more times!
There is a metal support brace that goes from the bottom of the throttle body to the engine block that some vehicles have and some don’t. I forgot to mention that. Sorry
I’m a new subscriber by the way 👏🏽
Thanks for the sub!!!
Best video of all ! And I have watched all of them lol
Thank you! Appreciated
Best detailed video ever. You are the man 👍😅
Wow, thanks! Appreciated!
So detailed. Very much appreciated. Great video
Thank you very much for the feedback!
Hey! Great video. I’m stuck trying to get the manifold out, I got all the torx and 10mm nuts off- I might have missed if you mentioned in the video if there’s a support bracket underneath the manifold. Something is keeping the thing stuck - it’s 1/2” out already but won’t budge.
Help anyone! Thanks!
Yes I even made another video about that bracket
@@motorcarnutright on! Now I’m struggling to find replacement bolts for the water pump- it was previously replaced apparently and they stripped the bolts I had to chisel a couple out. Going to call VW tomorrow
@JW-wq1jj or just match them up with some from a hardware store like Home Depot
NICE JOB bro! Looks coolant need change! The coolant bad color..! All so.. gasket on this pump is not oil resistant!!! Oil some times drops on the gaskets from intake!🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! Yep got to be clean and always change coolant especially when doing this job.
Nice video, I just watched it 3 times and ordered the parts. Should I replace the fuel injectors and how can I do a carbon cleaning since I'm already taking everything apart? I just subscribed and liked! Lastly, I will be doing brakes (pads and rotors) all the way around on my TSI 2.0L I'LL TIP ONCE I COMPLETE it! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for the sub and comment, much appreciated! If the fuel injectors were fine before I wouldn’t change them, they rarely go bad, as for the carbon cleaning, I always take the head off. There are a couple of ways to do it but not really that effective. Walnut blasting is the best way but requires special equipment. You could try to clean it with some carb cleaner and a pick but some carbon will fall into the cylinders so be careful. These engine do build up a lot of carbon however.
Excellent video! How difficult is it to change that belt while in there?
Thanks! Easy when replacing pump
If it is not damaged, leave it alone. Rarely rarely they go bad, have opened plenty of ea888 engines w 200k miles and more, never the water pump belt was in bad shape.
It is difficult! As it is reverse thread and if I recall uses a 12mm, but if for whatever reason you strip that bolt, you will NEVER be able to replace the balance shafts (IF they need to be serviced), unless you pull the transmission out and access the bolt from the freeze plug.
I highly recommend don't mess with the belt unless it is a must and like I said it is reverse thread.
This video is incredible explained! On mine 2011 Vw Golf GTI Mk6 CCZB is exact the same i guess?
Thank you! And yes very similar
My water pump just went today, I’ll be doing this because of this video! Is there any special procedure you have to do when adding fluid? Do you recommend flushing the system first? I’m also thinking of changing all the hoses out as well while I’m doing this too. Great video!
Thank you very much!, Yes, some vehicles have an aluminum brace that goes from under throttle body to engine block that is not in the video because some don't have one and yours may. 13MM nut to throttle body and triple square bolt to block. I would flush heater core, I have a video on that as well because have many vehicles that had low heat output and recommended. No special procedure for filling coolant system. You get stuck give me a holler. Good luck!
I've gotten a few quotes to do this, cheapest is $1300. I'm doing it myself for sure thanks to this video. You are awesome.
Thank you!, go for it! Save a lot of money, it's not that bad, just follow video and you'll be fine!
@@motorcarnut Just got the manifold back on! Hey you made a comment that I'm sure I'm taking too literal but I gotta double check after all this work. You said after I put the injector manifold back on and the injectors are seated that it shouldn't wiggle. Well, mine wiggles some if I wiggle it but the injectors resist being pulled out so it feels like it is seated. I definitely do not want to continue if it is not seated right.
I haven't put any bolts in to secure it but you mentioned how those little pieces of place on the injectors line up with the opening. Should it not wiggle at all, even without any mounting bolts back in?
I even got a picture lol squeeze my phone down there
What I mean is the injectors have to be at a certain angle so they go into the head without hitting the sides of the head where the slots are. Once they are seated properly push the manifold with both hands towards the head to make sure the manifold gasket is even all around and touching all four cylinder ports. If one injector is hanging up the manifold won’t be fully seated and will wiggle or rock from side to side. This is all before you put the screws in. Hope that makes sense
@@motorcarnut yep makes total sense, I just take stuff too literal all the time lol and had to double check. You are the Man, I'd love to throw you some dinner or beer money to say thank you, for real!
Thank you! On my page there is a channel donation if you wanted. And good luck with the rest of the repair.
Very good 👍 👏 👌 change water pump good luck
Ok thank you!
I want to change de oil cooler too because the oil it goes 10º/15º degrees hotter than it should be i think it might be de oil cooler . I suppose that if i follow the steps of the video to the 19:00 min , its simple unscrew the oil cooler and put the new one right? Awesome video!
Yes! And thank you for the comment!
Hello, Super well explained this intervention, can you tell me if the 2016 models already have the metal water pump?
Thank you for the comment! I don’t believe then went to aluminium from the factory, these are aftermarket.
Hope this finds someone that may have been in the same predicament as me. I worked on a 2012 CC and it has an aluminum bottom bracket that goes from the bottom of the manifold down to the block. You have to remove a nut on the manifold and a bolt on the block (M10 I think). Other than that great video!
Thanks for the comment. I did mention that support brace, however that vehicle’s one was missing. Usually mechanics don’t put them back for some reason.
Thank you for this video. This was very helpful
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the feedback!
Today i changed the water pump. The only issue i had was a bracket under manifold. Your video did not show it. I was like wtf. Why wont it come off. I pulled a few times said something isnt write. Got it off. Was 1 10 mm nuts and another torque. I have a 2012 volkswagon cc 2.0 tsi. Just a heads up for anyone that has the same. Took me a lil while to figure out. Thank you great video besides that
Thank you and correct! I do so many of these and almost all of them are not there or newer ones don’t have it at all from the factory.
Yea it was driving me crazy. I watched your video 5 times. Best video out there btw. Thanks
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
great video and tutorial. I don't know the anatomy of these vehicles at all so i paid a euro guy to swap a motor and within a week I'm noticing coolant getting low. sure enough it's from the area near the water pump and he's not wanting to repair. using your process I got it well until the point was yanking it out. got separation for about 2 inches then its stuck solid. Won't come out or back in. Like I'm missing a bolt or something in the middle. I removed the throttle body hose because it felt like the hang up might be there. is there a possible bracket or something different added to a 2011 CC? Either way than you so much for the process! It would have taken me 3 times as long to get to this point. My next step is to start removing throttle body and brackets just to be able to see better.
YES!
ua-cam.com/video/pihBmXjRh4Y/v-deo.html.
Should of been in the description!
Well yep. that did it! thank you!
@freddiebaez9751 Hey great! And thanks for the update!
How in the world do you disconnected the connector at 6:05 I can not do it for the life of me and my connector is facing downwards so I can’t even get a good grip on the tab or the connector
Try with a pick or small screwdriver
@@motorcarnut same technique still, push towards it then lift up with the tab right. Haha I knew try harder was gonna be the answer
Forgot to mention the bracket under intake on 2013 cc that is a BEAR to get loose, guessing it was left off this car
Yes, this car didn’t have it
I replaced the water pump with an aluminum one and leaks from hose connectors and temp sensor started to develop, my assumptions is that aluminum swells and contracts with heat and cold that crushes o-rings and deforms the plastic connectors. Finally decided the best fix is to replace the aluminum one with a plastic one after replacing both upper and lower hoses and developing leaks again.
I never had problems with the aluminum ones, but keep me updated on the new plastic water pump.
Hi, thanks for the video can you please let me know the part # on Amazon if you can thanks

Great video, should i put new manifold gasket and injector seals? Or its fine to reuse ?? Thank you
Replace them yes
Does the aluminum pump come with a new temp sensor or do u reuse the old one ? Thanks!
Incredible video. I'm trying to help out a buddy who's in a tough place. He has a 2006 Passat 2.0t. Fsi engine. How much different could it be? I'm pretty mechanically inclined, just wondering if this video would help me out enough to where I can figure out the rest. Thank you!!
Thank you! They are pretty different engine and this video wouldn’t help you much. The FSI engine has a timing belt not chain like the TSI engine also the water pump is completely different as it is driven by the timing belt. If you have access to a library online you can look up the procedure for free. I haven’t had one of those for a long time and believe you need a cam tool as well so might be better to change timing belt with water pump.
Did you have to put the plastic spacers on the fuel injectors ?and are the metal rings with the hooks on the injectors clipped onto the metal flange on the fuel rail holding it in place?
Yes you have to put back the plastic spacers and no the metal clip does not clip on to anything.
What is they grey box next that hooks into thermostat housing
I think your talking about the oil cooler
Hey buddy so I did my water pump on my 2012 VW CC Sport after everything was done I had a engine light came on i reset it but it came back on run a test and now it’s saying some gaskets on manifold are leaking
Make sure the intake manifold is completely seated. Sometimes the fuel injectors if not positioned correctly will cause the manifold not to seat all the way
@@motorcarnut it did set right but some reason I got codes P2008 Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) Circuit Open (Bank 1)
That is why don't mess w the manifold, just remove the TB and radiator fan.
@@kimboofdzners9574 it was a connector that I forgot to plug in the one behind the manifold right side
Hello thank you for this Amazing video , Im having a hard time to find the o rings for the hoses?!?! Is there any part number ?
I think they come with the hoses but you can bring the old one to the auto parts store and I’m sure they can match one up for you. I have a whole set that I use so they should have what you need.
More than likely they are on the new water pump !!
@jalenbrown949 That question is 8 months old, I’m sure they figured it out already.
I am planning to buy the 2013 VW TSI 1.4L HL Golf MK7 - Was wondering if this water pump is exactly the same for that model. Also could you please share where you got the after market water pump from please. Looks like a good durable option.
No that engine is different.
Once completed do you just refill the coolant mix through the overflow tank?
Yes you do. After that you want to level when hot at the full mark.
thanks for video In my case we are going to replace the chain set the pump is still fine. Is it wise to replace the entire pump with housing or just the pump itself?
An is an INA pump (130€) a good choice of should pay 50€ more for an Hepu?
The water pump is one whole unit, I’d replace it so you wouldn’t need to worry about it anymore.
@@motorcarnut Thank you for answer will do it
@erenoglu no problem
Nice Video！ What about the bracket under the manifold? Do you need to take it out first before taking the manifold? If yes, by hand or using tool？
Good question! Yes it has to come off first. The nut that goes to the underside of the throttle body is a 13 mm and the one to the block is a triple square but not sure of the size.
I cant seem to get my manifold to come out but im not sure what bracket you guys are talking about
It’s aluminum about 6 inches and connects from the bottom of the throttle body to the block. If for some reason your car doesn’t have it ( missing) the manifold needs some pressure to pull it out because the fuel injectors are pressed in a little
@@motorcarnut i found it thank you!
Great, no problem
Another question at 26:50 does the plastic line plug into the front of the solenoid sensor?
There are many which one? Where is it coming from?
@@motorcarnut the straight long plastic line coming from the back by the intake solenoid with the piece of hose at the end but the one that comes in the intake
@mr.mr400 Intake runner flap solenoid to the back on the vacuum pump
Amazing video! What’s the name of the pipe at 16:01?
I believe you’re talking about the coolant union from cooler to water pump
Is that JB weld/glue on the pump to cooler hose /oring coupler
Yep, someone must of tried to repair it like that.
What about the 2.0l turbo inline4 with black engine cover? I have whats supposed to be a Jetta GLI (2013, 211hp). Is it gen 2 EA888?
No, EA888 is the 1.8
Will this thermostat housing work on the later e888 tsi engines as I'm looking to do my mk7 gti
Not sure, just buy one for your specific year and model.

I put the coolant temp sensor clip in exactly like you said not to and it cost me 5 hours 150miles on the side of the freeway
That stinks. It popped out?You had to do it on the side of the road?

@@motorcarnut thanks!
Did u have to replace the gaskets in the injectors?
Not if they weren’t leaking, I do but if you don’t want to then it’s fine
I own a 2012 Volkswagen CC 2.0 Sport and I have coolant leak took it to the shop and they said it was the water pump they quoted me $1000 to replace the water pump is that how much and water pump cost ? I can’t seemed to find a good part store for me to buy the water pump by now watching this video I should be able to do it myself
Go for it! You get stuck give me a holler. Get an aluminium one on Amazon for like $50.00
@@motorcarnut yes ima give it a go
@thebigbosss1000 take your time and I have another video about a hidden bracket you have to take off too just so you know. I left it out of this video
@@motorcarnut yes thank you I’ll check that out 👍🏽
@thebigbosss1000 no problem
Think you could have mentioned the aluminum bracket connected to the bottom of the manifold!?
You’re correct. I do so many of these with them missing because for whatever reason they don’t put them back and I forgot to mention it. I will make a note of it in the video. Thanks for the feedback, appreciated
GOOD VIDEO ! I APPROVE
Thank you
I need to know where the knock sensor is in all of this 🥲 is it visible in this video? Thanks in advance
18.58 in the video just below the hole with the orange coolant you'll see a triple square both with a electrical wire, that's the knock sensor
Hey brother, I have always been wanting to ask but I always forget. As far as the injectors when pulling the intake off. Is it really required to reseal the injectors if they don’t stay in the cylinder head?
No, they rarely go bad unless they are obviously damaged
@@motorcarnut You should make a video on how common Tiguans leak threw their sunroofs!
@ivanvega2821 Yes, I will. The drain lines pull away and create leaks. Thanks!
Can you help out one more time !
How do you get the belt off ? I found the Right wrench, a 12mm on reversed threads but the sprocket keep turning, is there a trick to it or another tool needed?
Thanks again
You talking about the belt on the water pump? It just slides off when all the bolts are out of the water pump.
I did this job on a Skoda Octavia Cdaa engine and om that you had to loosen the sprocket on the balance shaft (?) to get the water pump belt on. It is reversed threads yes, and you have to hold the crankshaft so the sprocket doesnt turn.
My belt had broke, thats why I didnt realize that you had to take the sprocket off until it was time to put the new belt on..
@rasmussvedin1778 I don’t have that engine you are referring to
@@motorcarnut i get that. One other different thing is that there is a bracket underneath the intake manifold which is very hard to see from above. Took a lot of time before I found out why I couldnt remove the intake manifold more than a half inch when I had loosen all the bolts and connectors in your video.
Other than that it was exactly the same so thanks for a great video!
Would it be possible to remove the oil filter without having to drain all the oil or will there be a mess with oil in my engine bay?
Yes, some will spill either way because the filter is right side up, but no need to drain it
Did you replace the injector seals or just reuse them?
I reused them
Two of my injectors staid in the motor. I don’t think that’s right because all 4 of yours came out with the intake manifold. How do I get them out
You can easily pry them out but be careful not to break them.
I got them out. Wasn’t as bad as I thought. Thank you.
@MidwestRCcrawler no problem
Hey friends! It’s me again with another question 😂
So I have a 2012 Volkswagen CC currently that has a weird issue. So I have no heat in the car and it’s overheating to 110C at idle with ambient temperature of 32F. It seems to just overheat to 111C (checked coolant temp with OBDeleven scanner) but it doesn’t pass from there it seems. The precious owner of the vehicle thought it could of been a head gasket issue and added gasket leak repair additive to the coolant. Which the coolant looks like it had orange sparkling flakes inside.
I flushed the coolant with distilled water as much as possible but I still believe there is still nasty old coolant with that additive around the heater core. Should my next steps be to flush the heater core and maybe get a water pump/thermostat?
I would back flush the heater core and the radiator first and replace expansion tank cap. And report back with results
@@motorcarnut well brother… the issue was the coolant cap. I replaced it because el noticed it was just to loose when it should be tight. Now the car doesn’t overheat and the heat is warm but not where it should be. I will be flushing the heater core on the CTAA.
Any recommendations on how the flush the coolant system properly? Any additives you recommend…. Should the car be at warm temp. As always…… you are the best brother!!!!!!!
Great bro! Thank you! Really appreciate it!
Car should be cold not to burn yourself. Take the 2 heater core hoses off the engine not the firewall. It’s tight back there but can be done. Try about 8 oz of this stuff:
www.homedepot.com/p/CLR-1-Gal-Calcium-Lime-and-Rust-Remover-CL4-P/202530301
Blow out the coolant in the hear core with compressed air carefully then add the cleaner let stand for 15 minutes then back flush with hose water both ways. Then refill system. Heat will be hot again
@@motorcarnut just flushed the heater core. Wow… the amounts of slushy brown goodness that came out of it was concerning. I don’t see how it was working properly whatsoever.
On a different issue, the car on idle tends to have a strong vibration that shakes the cabin. I’m thinking it could be trans and engine motor mounts considering it has 136k. Any suggestions to diagnose the issue? Thanks for everything!
@ivanvega2821 the engine shouldn’t shake that bad to begin with, but yes make sure the mounts are not ripped or twisted.
I’ve seen water pumps on eBay for $50 but I’m kinda sketched to buy one since everywhere els they are 200-300 are they really worth buying ?
Yes, get the aluminium one. Name brand markup is unbelievable most times.
Where’s the link to get this stuff on Amazon?

PLEASE TELL ME HOW DO YOU REPLACE WATER PUMP DRIVE BELT
Same as in water pump replacement. The belt goes on when installing water pump
@@motorcarnutJesus!
The belt has a reverse thread bolt, and uses if I remember a 12mm or 13mm close wrench. It is a pain to remove if the bolt is very tight, do not strip it!
I made a custom socket, cut it half to make it shorter and where the rachet side I made to flat slanted surfaces to fit an open wrench. This way it is a mini shorty socket (better grip) than a close wrench.
I use an open wrench and place where the two flat sides made on the modified socket and that's how I was able to take the bolt out. (Remember reverse thread)
Anyone get a p2568 code before having to replace water pump? I had no cel but wanted to check if there were any codes after battery seemed dead and got the code.
The radiator on some California cars have an Direct Ozone Reduction Sensor refers to a sensor glued to the radiator core, not the coolant temperature sensor, can be disconnected or bad, Also make sure you have no exhaust leaks as well.
My car is at the dealer now to have my water pump replaced. I just wanted to see all they had to take apart to get to it. I'm really nervous now because there is so much to undo and take apart. These guys are so young and the dealer has a reputation for not securing things like they were originally. Once they mess something up - you can't really prove it wasn't that way from the start. My car has 70,000 miles on it and it's covered under warranty (extended warranty). That was like pulling teeth to get them to admit it was covered because (supposedly) they can't 'speak' on it.
Hopefully, It will work out. Good luck!
@@motorcarnut Thanks. Your video was exceptional.
Thank you very much! Really appreciate the comment.
What year? Used to be a tech at Audi but we get them so often I wouldn’t worry about it
@@tabaricurry4668 you gotta give the dealer ur vin num and they'll tell u if it's covered. Mine is 13 vw cc. Just picked it up today. Paid in full by them.
