    Absolutely briliant tutorial on "How to". I have done this job years ago on a 1980 Golf GTI and it seemed much less complicated, but I now have this job to do on and old passat TDI and having the checklist of what is needed has been invaluable. I have to remove the front of the car for that vehicle and want to make sure I have everything I need before I start.
    Thank you for so expertly sharing your knowledge and experience.

    I found your video really helpful when changing the belt on my 1.9tdi BXE engine as I brought locking tools that were suppose to fit however the crank lock didn’t fit in the correct place so by pinning the camshaft and using your video for reference point on the crank I got the timing perfect and engine runs great.

    Hey, I wanted to adjust the torsion value but accidentaly unscrewed the screw in the middle of cam gear and then by trying to tighten it again, I moved the whole cam gear with the camshaft clockwise. Now, the torsion value is incorrect and I’ve moved the camshaft too. Lol. What should I do in this situation? I messed up. Total rookie with engines.

    • @diydaly
      @diydaly  7 месяцев назад +1

      Your going to have to take the belt off and re pin everything in the correct timing position , basically follow the video but if you are unsure I’d advise getting a mechanic to do it

    @dkjens0705 4 месяца назад +1

    In 2016 I worked for a shop in Pasadena, California that had a real asshole of an owner. A customer's wife had always loved the Audi TT and they bought a used front wheel drive TT. The owner changed timing belt but shortly after the new timing belt broke so the car came back. He then passed the job to me, head off and a valve job, reinstall head and new timing belt. Shortly after we luckily caught the belt starting to get chewed up and changed it. Again a little later, the same thing. The belt was being pushed off the cam gear and once the belt edge came off the gear it didn't take long for it to get chewed up. As I installed the third or fourth cam belt I finally noticed a large washer between the tensioner and the block which I could not find in any schematics. I went and asked the shop owner, who had done the first belt change, why he put this washer there and if it was there when he did the first belt change. He just said he didn't know the answer to either question, as if he deliberately put it there to fuck with the customer. After NOT installing this washer everything was fine but now the poor lady had lost ALL confidence in this car and didn't love it anymore. I remember tha pain of wrestling that engine mount out and in on every one of these jobs.

    Great video! I did my timing belt today using this video as guide. Very detailed and helpful tips. However, when I torqued my timing belt tensioner while the arrow in the centre, I spun the crank pulley twice and I noticed the arrow move all the way to right still within the gap, is this normal?

      Yeah that’s completely normal mate .. it will move .. main thing is it was torqued correctly in the right position to start with

    Hi, Great video for doing this job! Would it be possible to add the part numbers of the bits that you replaced? ... I am thinking particularly of the bolrs that were replaced for the crank pulley and engine mounts, etc. I am looking for these on ebay/internet now and I don't have part numbers. Cheers !!!

      👍 thanks , I only used the bolts that came in the kit .. I’m afraid I don’t have part numbers for the crank pulley or engine mount bolts, you’ll be ok to re use them 👍

    Does the torsion values need reset after this? Closest to "0" for injection timing I've read.

      @diydaly  11 месяцев назад +2

      Not really tbh , I’ve found it to be set at various places when I’ve checked in the past, it’s always best to use the locking tools then you know it’s bang on right.. I’d only look to check / adjust the torsion value if you are getting very poor MPG after

    Thank you for making this video, it has helped immensely, although I am still having some trouble fitting the belt on. I am able to get the belt around all the required points but cannot do so while the tensioner retaining clip is located in its hole. If I locate the tensioner first, then I do not have enough slack to go around the water pump. With the belt on, It does feel as though there is more slack than there should be on the water pump side. How do I bring that slack over towards the tensioner?

    • @diydaly
      @diydaly  10 месяцев назад +1

      Yes they can be quite tight! It’s has to explain in writing.. it’s because of the lip on the tensioner .. you can try fitting it with the tensioner not fully located and slide it all in together but just make sure it’s definelty located correctly after! If you’ve slackened the top pulley it should be abit easier .. just turn it further to the right put the belt into the teeth then oh can twist the pulley to the left to tighten the belt on the rh side.. if that makes sense

Now, 2 rotations later, they tools will not simultaneously go in. The engine turns over fine by hand, as it did before. Do you have any advice?

      @@renegadesnarez3478 when u say they won’t go in can u see how far out the mark is? You may need to slacken the tensioner and re pin it if it’s too far out.. sometimes you can literally be the tiniest bit out

      @@diydaly I think I can see the pin hole in the elongated hole. It seems to be a matter of millimeters. I was thinking to lock the crank and loosen the 3 sprocket bolts, and then turn the centre cam bolt to align the locking holes. At this point i would re-insert the cam lock, tension the belt towards the tensioner side with the counterhold tool, and then finally do up the 3 sprocket bolts. Does this sound like a good method? Surely this would allow both locking holes to line up following 2 rotations?
