These videos are a little different than your standard "how to" videos. They're more of a documentation of the process I went through including all of the little mistakes and hangups I ran into. So if you run into some of the same things, hopefully these videos help you out.

I just did this on a 2015 Tiguan. Very in depth and nice video! Thank you!
I did this job today - thanks for putting together the video, it was a nice supplemental guide!
I tried about a hundred times to get the 5mm bolt on the tensioner off with a wobbly. I tried tape, and jamming the u-joints with a rag, just couldn't seem to get it in there right. In the end, I removed the three bolts to the AC pump and was able to get in there with a stubby ratchet w/ a 5mm fitted. Just thought I'd pass along my story, and my gratitude! Thanks again.
yeah I remember that little 5mm bolt...it was a pain ha. Glad you got yours done!
Muchas gracias por el video que hiciste, me es de mucha ayuda ya que le tengo que cambiar el tensor de la correa poli V. Saludos desde Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷
Encantado de poder ayudar
Thanks for this video! A buddy of mine needs his tensioner on his golf autobahn replaced, and we are going to work on it soon. This in depth video helps a lot 😁
Glad to help! Let me know if you have any questions too (especially since there's no narration ha)
Nice video! How’d you determine that the tensioner needed replacement?
I started hearing a squealing noise when the engine was under heavy load and the revs were low. for instance: sometimes here and there I set off in 2nd gear from a standstill instead of 1st gear and I would hear the noise. And then it got worse and it started squealing even when I would set off in first gear. The tensioner was the most likely and least expensive culprit, so I did decided to replace that first and that fixed it.
@@chilledspeed Thanks for those details, much appreciated! Glad that was indeed the fix.
glad to help!@@tedjohnson64
What’s the reason for loosening/tightening the engine mount bolts back and forth separately? I’m sure there’s a good reason I’m just curious as to what exactly it is.
There's not really much benefit when you're loosening, it's mainly just a habit. For tightening though, it's a good general practice to make sure the parts that are being fastened by the bolts are pressed together with even pressure all around so everything is straight and square and properly mated up.
