I work at Volkswagen and I massively enjoy filming mechanical videos and breaking down fault finding just for the enjoyment of my viewers and not forgetting the home mechanic who maybe stuck on a certain fault which one of my videos could reach and help out which is of course my ultimate goal :)

Hi is the crank pully floating or has it got a keyway ?
The pulley has a key way mate
ahhh nice video! just had the coil light come on my 1.6tdi CAYC (2011/12) a few weeks back but been intermittent. took to audi, want 1.6k for new injector and fitting, but the guy suggested take it else where as can get it done much cheaper. i have a vcds so pulled the codes myself, so going to bust out the multimeter and check the resistances to make sure it's the injector. funnily enough, now i have the car back i haven't been able to replicate it going into limp mode... typical haha!
Your all over it matey fair play to you just one tip from me make sure you disconnect the injector from the wiring harness before resistance checking it I’ve seen people blow ecu by not doing that
@TheVWMechanic_official ah great tip thanks, that's the last thing I need haha! Was planning to as I think my probes are standard rather than the thinner ones. 🤘💪👍
😂
🤪
Hello, how much coolant was it leaking? In ltr/ml sir
Enough for me to call it a leak matey
Hello sir I need the advice Struggling with coolant leak on 2.0 TDI clocked 130k kms engine there is no visible leak no overheating but coolant is getting low and warning on low coolant light while driving uphill also engine oil temperature reached 140 c Changed egr at 90 k in warranty and intake manifold in 110k still leak .
Easy as.... nice one dude! 👍🏼
Thankyou matey :)
Great video! Where can I purchase these pins from please?
Hey thanks for the comment I love hearing from everyone and message me on instagram for the pins buddy @thevwmechanic_official
@@TheVWMechanic_official No problem. It won't let me unless we follow each other, so I've just followed you.
What’s your user on instagram unfortunately I can’t see it at the moment as I get a lot of requests haha
Brother you just saved my skin... I was looking at replaving it grom the top... you saved me $1000 in labor from the dealer.. you rock!
That’s awesome news matey glad I could help you 🫶
Beautiful Box my man, gotta give you props for working on all the fucked up shit that never made it stateside.
Thankyou buddy really appreciate that haha and these cars aren’t the worst we have here 😂 new toolbox tour coming soon
I just purchased a 2015 VW Jetta S 2.0 and there is some leakage coming from the dog bone. I’m guessing that is going to be transmission fluid?.. the fluid just looks clear and I can’t identify the smell like others do. But if the dog bone supports the tranny then I’m guessing it has to be tranny fluid right? I’m nervous
Hi, thank you for sharing. I will be replacing both wheel bearings. Do you have a video on DAB, the Tiguan has the worst antenna and I wanted to make a new one but dont know how, any advice would be appreciated, working on my car is my mental health therapy....
Sounds good to me buddy and if the aerial is broken you’ll need to replace is buddy as they usually get filled with water and that’s how they fail
@@TheVWMechanic_official thank you, do you have any videos, tye DAB has been rubbish since I bought this new in 2107. ATB
@JohnMcMaster-logcabin haven’t don’t a Dave aerial replace video matey but if you wanna add me on instagram @thevwmechanic_official I can certainly do a quick run thru for you…your very own video
@@TheVWMechanic_official I will set up an Instagram and connect. Thank you for the help very kind.
Where abouts are you based mate and how much would this cost to fix ?
At a dealership in Lincolnshire matey and I’m unsure of pricing it’s not something I get involved with
@@TheVWMechanic_official okay mate I’ll see if I can get hold of the dealership
Thank you for the video. It’s amazing to see the work involved.! Personally very grateful to try for a manual Skoda!
Thanks for the comment buddy really do appreciate that and yeah my Skoda is manual haha
@@TheVWMechanic_official automatics great if they’re not your own car, you have to pay any bills it seems!
Low dipped beam alignment for Xenon lights on a Scirooco MY2013 would either involve these not functioning correctly, or is there a alignment screw or similar for the Xenons? They try to align when starting, but the light is simply too low, also for the MOT checks.
If you have that set up then you’ve gotta put them in basic setting mode then adjust them and then tell the car that’s where they need to be
Just trying this fix now but I must be doing something wrong. Fitted the microswitch but if I then move the lever to park in still getting the original error plus 'Error: gearbox' and the lever is locked in park. Only way to resolve is to remove the microswitch. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Message me on instagram with photos or videos of how you’ve fitted it all buddy @thevwmechanic_official
@@TheVWMechanic_official Thanks, I will give it another go at the weekend and document what I do.
thank you
Your absolutely welcome Thankyou for the comment 🫶
What did you use to remove vw plate
You can usually push the tabs down from above with a small pick (be very very gentle things can snap)
Hey mate thank you for the video. I have bought myself one of these tools and wondering if you have a link to the 9ah battery you was using? Cheers mate
Hey buddy thanks for the message and instead of the 9ah battery I’ll give you the link for the 5.0 high output which wipes the floor with the 9ah ffx.co.uk/products/milwaukee-milwaukee-m12hb5-12v-5ah-li-ion-high-output-battery-283855?max-v&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjws560BhCuARIsAHMqE0E0tc59wh-jrqXGg05zKm-_5W6CRtKl4Q_H4X9uW06TN_h5vD-ggQgaAlWxEALw_wcB
@TheVWMechanic_official cheers buddy thank you for the link. Much appreciated for the quick response and keep up the good work buddy 🙂
@charliebibby7428 your more than welcome buddy and thankyou so much for the mega comment I really do appreciate it
How much does it cost to recalibrate
You would have to call your local dealer for accurate costings but couple hundred quid Atleast
@@TheVWMechanic_official thanks
the other parts of 1290 videos, did not see any uploads ... eagerly awaiting
What do you mean matey?
@@TheVWMechanic_official my bad . this was ment for another channel ... sidenote; i am sure it was written on the intended channel (but it was shown in yours )
Hi thanks for the video - I'm here as I have the same issue - 2019 vRS Octavia - same as in the video - you seem to undo a screw on the left at the top of the black plastic unit, the video is so fast I couldn't work out why this was done - can you remember? I appreciate it's been a while :)
Hey buddy I’m gunna have to do another video haha it’s been far to long but add me on instagram matey @thevwmechanic_official and you can send me pics and I can talk you thru it
Cheers, worked first time for both on my 2015 🫡🫡
Your welcome thanks for the comment 🫶
Nice one I just need a dygrinder
Little draper battery one is perfect for this
Hi do you know if there is any way to fit these badges more securely? Had my sensor stolen recently (seems to be a huge increase recently) and it's so easy to take the badge off i can see it happening again. thinking even just a metal cable tie as a deterrent?
Very difficult matey but whatever you do can’t impede the radar at all as you’ll have issues with your assist features not working
My Skoda Kodiaq went in for a major service, 4 years old only 11'000 miles. They changed the Haldex oil, leaving the garage the wife knew something was wrong, locking of the rear wheels when turning at junctions. Took it back in the next day, I'd read the Haldex oil change could be the reason as they are lazy and only change the oil (Skoda forums). In the end they blamed it on me for doing such low miles and the Haldex oil filter was blocked, my reply was why didn't you clean the filter when changing the oil and it was fine before you tinkered on. Some people were not so lucky after a lazy ass job from Skoda (comments on Skoda forums) and had major issues afterwards
Hey thanks for the comment and just like yourself I would expect better buddy I’m sorry you’ve had a bad experience 😔
Thank you very much for sharing the video mate
Your welcome buddy Thankyou for the mega comment 🫶
I have a Skoda Octoberia So what you're saying it doesn't really need changing for several months as it doesn't really do a lot it's just a data fault.
All faults should be fixed as soon as they appear matey
Aahhh the good old haldex ......the fake 4wd that vw/audi guys claim is proper 4wd 😅😅😅
🥰🥰
Hello sir i bought a a35 tfsi a3 limousine. It has 120000 km on it. When does the timing belt need to change? Some tells 210000 some says 5 years. I am very confused. Thanks allready
The TSi engine have a very long belt interval but it needs inspecting at certain intervals and a decision made from there
Thanks is working on Tiguan 2013
Awesome news thanks for letting me know and thanks for the feedback 🫶
How can I get the bonnet open of the cable has snapped..
You’ve gotta reach up and grab hold of the cable and pull it from behind the headlight on all things Volkswagen it’s a lot tighter on the R
It’s like doing a engine oil service and just doing oil 🙈
Exactly that buddy it’s crazy to think people actually do that
100% correct
Afternoon afternoon afternoon 😂😂 Arghhhhhh fitted the booming gen vw Skoda black switch to the black casing on my 2014 Octavia 2.0 tdi , And dam error is still coming on, mostly opening door 1st thing in the AFTERNOON 🫣or rear doors, ding ding & 3 mins later another ding. While driving then 2 days free of dings if am lucky Driving me nuts. Any other investigation I can do, vcds fault codes in auto & steering, Just a quick note loads of a yellow sponge all round my black casing took my ages to remove
Hey mate what fault codes are logged in system
@@TheVWMechanic_official put it all back together & it’s not dinged so far, need to do another scan mate, will let you know. Thanks for reply pal 👍👍
Wish we had some video to hear the noise, paranoid now mine is loose 🤣
Best way to describe it is a plastic vibration noise from left side of engine like an two stroke engine running lol
Ive been quoted £160 for the job is that reasonable? Its a £40 part and 15 minute job by the looks.
In my opinion it’s reasonable yeah
Think you may have just saved me a lot of time and agro
Pleased I could help matey I’m glad your sorted :)
Is this diesel specific? Meaning a 2007 Passat 2.0T FSI would not have it?
Not diesel specific but only fitted in tank if “mit silikat” printed on bottle
What unit is that in the video? I have a MK7 Golf and want to buy Something just to reset the long life inspection.
This is the topdon phoenix remote buddy
I have exactly the same problem exactly the same spot. First i thougt it was a very costly mechanical issue. So thank god i saw this video 🙏🏻
Glad I could help buddy Thankyou for the really kind comment 🫶
Thanks bro! The same issue over here.. this helped me alot
Your absolutely welcome matey thank you for the comment :)
Would the part fit a 2017 skoda Fabia?
The lever would need to be checked to confirm matey
Great video thanks. Have an issue with mine
Thanks matey I hope you sort it easy enough
@@TheVWMechanic_official Cheers. I had a knock from the rear which turned out to be the shocks, had them replaced with new ones off eBay. My front left level sensor is broken, would that also flag a fault for the rear left shock?
Off topic but 2017 t6 start up this morning and revs not raised like normal cold start. It is 22 degrees tho. Is this normal?
Yeh buddy normal for cold start even tho it’s warmer outside the only thing that will change is the duration of the cold start condition
@@TheVWMechanic_official so normal the revs were normal tickover and bit raised. Cos only does it if needed? Thanks for reply.keep it up
@baltyre5804 correct buddy it’s all for emissions buddy the warmer everything gets quicker the less nasty stuff out the tailpipe
where did you get new control unit and seals
I work at Volkswagen dealer matey
i hate everytime i have to do one of those personally, i have broken some t30 tips unscrewing those bolts xd
They are fiddly that’s for sure
Spot on hope mine never fails but do have 2yr warranty left so if it does straight back to you lads 😅,just hope there professional like ya self with proper torque procedures will be doing a timing belt soon on one of my gti only 14yr it was last done 😬😬😬😬😬
I hope yours lasts ages buddy in all fairness and gotta follow procedures on these it’s really not worth anyone out there half arsing it and causing more damage
This just happened to me today and took me ages to find the blade. I am waiting to get a pin but using a paper clip for now. Do you know what size pin i should be buying or are they generic for all vw keys Great info vid
Hey mate it’s a Volkswagen pin with their part number if you stick it in on Google it will come up :)
@@TheVWMechanic_official thank you
Love it
Thanks buddy I really appreciate your support
Time lapse for the win 🤙🤙
Thanks big man I’m really proud of this video to be fair and the DJI made it so much easier big love for that dude
