wow you made that timing belt change look so simple always hated do timing belt changes due to mis timied a engine and bent the valves on a sherpa van ...lol love your videos
Great video quick and concise and i appreciate you sharing all the torque settings. Im thinking of doing the timing belt my self. Would you recommend for against doing it yourself for someone who has never done one before 😅? As the timing belt for this engine seems relatively straight forward or am i just being naive lol
I've only ever done a subaru timing belt for a sti. That was easy. This I find difficult. What do u mean by 15nm with 90degrees? Like once reach 15nm then turn a further 90degrees? Thanks
Very quick guide. Thanks. Q1: is it necessary to turn engine to TDC? Q2: Is the direction of the poly-v belt as sensitive as the direction of the cam-belt? (I need only to replace the coolant pump seal because it is leaking due to contaminant in the cooling system.)
Hi bud, got one of these engines in my 2.0 tdi 2011 a3 sline. Any idea what is causing the car to smoke quite bad for about 20 mins then clear. Changed the turbo, the injectors, egr cooler and glow plugs but still no joy. Any insight would be appreciated.
It might be your dpf is cracked,,,,,put your finger into the end of the exhaust ,If it comes out with any soot on it at all,,,even a tiny bit,,your dpf is spanked,,
I know this was a while ago but notice the original water pump has no freeze plug on it and the new one does ? I'm in the same situation now and I can't seem to push the waterpump flat into the block??? Wtf
nice video mate, helped me smash a job out first time round quick enough to catch the lads for a bevvie. No bs, just what needs to be done. love it

perfect 👍👍❤️
Made it seem easy 😂
When you've done a few they do become easy
Another top vid 🤘 i have a 1.6 cr tdi is the procedure the same as gonna do mine soon. Again thank for another great vid
Timing tools are slightly different for the crank but everything else is the same pullys need slacking off
Very quick guide. Thanks.

100% necessary to time the engine up to spec.. mark the aux belt in the direction you take it off, or change it while you have it stripped off
after how long is it best to change the timing belt? or after how many kilometers driven?

I'm doing a cgl 2litre tdi
Why does the fuel pump have to be locked,,,Is this a common rail engine,,
Yes it's common rail but the pumps are timed
If this is not timed it can lead to premature breakage of the timing belt
