- In this episode I replace the timing belt, water pump, pulleys, cam chain, cam tensioner and fuel pump follower. I was unfortunate enough to round off the cam adjuster bolt and have to remove it by drilling it out with a 1/2" bit and smashing in a large an M14 triple star drive.

Nice work never quite as easy as you think. Watching from the Uk enjoying the vids run a 2006 golf gti myself, plan to pull the engine and give it a refresh in a few years.
Excellent video. Those polybolts are absolutely shite. I've taken off 3 with quality tools and I've had to drill them out like you have. I've had to take my new bolt out due to slight mistiming and they're just as shite as old ones lol. Cheers mate
nice job... same happened to me when attempting to remove that stupid bolt, the teeth just disintegrated. Every one of those cheap ebay cam locking tools has the same issue with the pins bending due to the small weak bolts they use to join them to the main brace (my mate welded my one up so its "fixed" that problem).
Super robota
Great video! One question though. I’ve done the job myself and noticed the the chain has some slack on the bottom. Did you experience the same?
Yeah mine was the same
Do you have the OE number op the cam bolt?
Great work. I've got a 200,000km mk5 gti that I started working on myself and have found this video invaluable. Your idle cleaning up makes me want to do the same for my chain and tensioner. Out of curiosity, where do you generally source parts from? I'm having trouble finding quality parts in Aus and have had to shop around heaps. Cheers.
HSY Autoparts are good, also Run Auto parts. Sparesbox are useless.
@@cheapthrillsgarage thanks mate I'll have a look at HSY. I've had good results so far from Run Auto. Sometimes Rock Auto in the states seems to work out pretty well too. Chinese market seems to saturate all my search results normally. Cheers!
Great video, would it be possible for you to give us the part numbers you bought?
Yeah I’ll put one in the comments in the next few days
need to do some mods soon!
how awesome to have your engine out of the car.
What is the part number for dial guage ?
It is not a VW part, you can buy them from a parts shop.
Nice job ! Can you have all the reference please ?
What do you mean?
The référence ofall the parts used in the video
