Hi, love the videos and extremely helpful, I’m picking up a tt this week and I’m 80% sure it has a head gasket fault, I’ve been fixing cars for a while now but haven’t yet done a major job such as a timing belt or head gasket but willing to give it a try, have you got any tips that you would think is useful to know before starting a job like this?
To be Honest these are quite easy to work on and best thing I find is learn by doing. There’s plenty of guides and info out there to help Google in your friend 😆
I’m trying to remove my head to replace the head gasket, but turbo manifold bolts have sheard one bolt, so can’t get a grip on it, question is, can I remove the head while it’s still attached too the turbo and manifold? I believe I just have to disconnect down pipe bolts and lines too turbo right?
Yea if you removed the downpipe from the turbo I can’t see why you couldn’t remove the head with manifold and turbo still attached, their is only 3 or 4 bolts holding the turbo to the manifold so you could infact split the turbo off the manifold aswell and just bring the head with exhaust manifold still attached
@@TrackAndBeyond the 3 bolts that hold turbo onto manifold, one head has sheared, so can’t get the e14 torx bit to grip, this is why I’m asking can I remove all with the head by just undoing the 3 nuts on down pipe 👍
@@TrackAndBeyond yeah notice grey pipes near the turbo, hopefully they won’t get in the way, I’m just cutting the timing belt rather than lining all up before I remove, timing can be done after
Nice! Enjoyed it alot
Great, enjoyed that one.

@user-lu8fr9hv8y got ya, yea I can’t see a recon why not, may just be fiddly trying to remove it and will be heavy 😝

@user-lu8fr9hv8y yea cutting it is a good shout done that before as you say can be done after
Holy!!!
Crapoli!!!
That car is SUCH a mess!!! Jesus!
I am ASTOUNDED by how mechanically inept people can be… that’s… horrific.
Yep! This was a bad one I don’t understand how either I was so shocked seeing everything wrong with it
