Had a customer with one that needed so much work to pass emissions that we turned it away. Seeing this video makes me happy I didn't delve into it the routing of those hoses and harness is ridiculous engineering.
I've down shifted from 5th to 2nd at 65mph. Tore the timing belt to shreds in a tiny japanese engine. After watching this video the 200,000+ mile belt acted like a woodruff key / shear bolt and probably saved the engine from a high rpm explosion. I coasted across four lanes of interstate just in time and sat on the shoulder for the tow truck. Crankshaft sensor position code, nothing else. Luckily it was a non-interference engine; I re-aligned the gears, put on a new belt and was good to go another 60,000 miles.
Been waiting for this one. I have an 09 Jetta TDI (CJAA) that I’ve had since new. It only has 140k on it but it also doesn’t have the “fix” because it doesn’t have the parts that needed “fixing”. It’s been great, towed a 1000lb trailer across the country and has never had a problem. I also change the oil every 5k instead of the VW recommended 10k. Love the channel Eric, keep it up!
I agree with 5k, oil is cheap now vs having a caked up engine 25k miles after the warranty is up and you are left holding the bill for it due to VWs service recommendations.
"Well, I was idling through the drive through lane to get my order when I heard this sound from the engine" Thank you for a great "Kinder Surprise" tear down!
I used to own one of those. Although they have their issues, the 12-14 TDI passats are actually incredibly rare now since most were crushed from dieselgate.
Own a 2011 TDI and absolutely love it. I deleted it and tuned to Stage 2 along with a DSG tune, and the car drives 40 to 50 MPG with over 300 lb-ft of torque and more than enough jam in the city and on the highway. It’s got 115k miles and hopefully it gets to 300k or more.
I have a 2005 Duramax. I just drove to St. Louis to pick up an IronPlanet auction trailer. 900 miles round trip at 80mph and I got 21.6 mpg. My truck has 285,000 miles on it!
I have no clue how you came up wit the idea to do whart you do here on youtube , but the channel name is really great and even the content is far better better the longer you watch the videos.
Yes, I have been waiting patiently for one of these! I've got a 2013 golf with this exact engine , and I absolutely love it, 2 door, 6 speed manual, I will be driving it into the ground. Edit: I see now the update, so not this *exact* one but just about. The 13 golf DOES in fact have the CJAA.
Ah, the old money shift. Seen it happen more than once from someone showing off merging onto an interstate, back when manual transmissions were standard. That sudden puff of smoke ahead of you from exhaust and you quickly change lanes to avoid the inevitable oil slick and escaping internal parts.
Great video. I own a 2015 Passat TDI with "TDIZZLE" on the license plate. Hoping to get 200k+ miles out of it. It's been a great car for the past 4 years with amazing MPG. I was kind of skeptical when I bought with 40K since it is a VW product. It's a shame they don't sell us these diesels anymore due to Diesel Gate.
Bought a 2013 Sportwagon used for $21,000. Used it for 3 years and sold it to VW for $2,500 more than I paid for it. Oh and the inside of the exhaust tip was perfectly clean. Zero soot. What a great car and great engine. The EPA sucks.
Similar experience here. Bought a 2011 Golf TDI used in 2014 for ~$18k. Used it for 2.5 years, and sold it back to VW for ~$22k. Solid profit. I did lookup the VIN sometime after giving it back, and it was one of the many that were crushed :(
I love my 2013 VW Beetle TDI but it has had a hard life before I bought it. Right now it has a clogged DPF and the low pressure fuel pump caused a big mess(over $7000 of Repair). Low maintenance and I'm changing the oil every 3 months. $66+ a change. Also change fuel filter every 3 months and Air filter every 6 months.
Yes. There's something suspicious about the EPA standards when the "dieselgate" engines got better fuel economy and more power in their "dirty" configuration...
The Passats with manuals weren’t able to get certified after dieselgate and were crushed. It is very rare to find a manual Passat TDI that didn’t get bought back. Timing belt replacement is at 120,000 miles. I have a ‘14 Passat CKRA with the DSG. And have a ‘14 Jetta CJAA TDI. Great cars especially after a tune and weight reduction.
Awesome video as always. WOW that was nuts.. Not much more damage and the whole inside could have fallen out when the oil pan was removed .. amazing how much damage you can get just from idle at the drive through.. those drive throughs are taking out cars and trucks left and right.. thats what ya get when you order a special and have to wait. lolol love ya brother !!
Take it from me. 62YO ex mechanic. Anything you do to your body when you're young will definitely come back to haunt you. Don't use your hand as a hammer.
I daily a '14 981 Cayman S and I am going to have it tuned next week. Volkswagens are great cars. And they inspire people toward their ownership. These days its just a car company, but back in the day they were the stuff of story! My first car in 1984 was a '77 VW Rabbit and it was 1800 pounds with 80 hp! BUT it had rusted floors. My second car was a 1985 VW Scirocco Turbo, and yes this did exist! My third car was a '92 VW Corrado SLC with the VR6 engine and I put an AMS exhaust and a Neuspeed chip along with a cold air intake; My best time (and YES I have the time slip!) was 14.98@93.25. About the same. Then I bought my 928 which was an S2 model not sold in the United States due to emissions regulations. It was a mess when I bought it in May '98 but I rebuilt the intake as shown on Rennlist and in the end I probably had the best 928S2 5 speed in the United States when I traded it for a 981 Cayman S-
I Miss My Father's 79 Rabbit 🐇 2 door Diesel L 45-50 MPG was a dam good car minus the nightmare electrical system it had my old man kept no less than 5 spare fuse blocks on the shelf at all times
Wow, already starting this new year off with a bang. You tore down a Hyundai 5.0 engine that I do have in my fleet, and now this CKRA TDI engine that I have in my 2013 VW Passat! Let me grab my popcorn.👍🏾
Cam drive belt? Every 5 years/50K miles... I had a TDI Beetle; an '06, I think. Anyway, it had the engine prior to the "naughty one"; the problematic "Pump Deuse" motor. The one with each injector operated by a 3rd cam lobe; the one that HAD to use special motor oil that I could only get from a VW dealer. But, other than that? What a nice car it was. Before the Feds made us switch to the low cetane lizard spit we have now? I could go down the highway at 80mph (LEGAL in NV and Utah), with the AC on - and get 52 MPG. After the switch? 38mpg - at 55. A Toyota Corolla would do better. I kept it until the car itself started to cost me big $$'s (88, 000 miles), and I got tired of paying the $40 that Nevada wanted to smog a diesel (vs. $10 for a gas car). So, I traded it for Nissan Frontier 4WD. Still... it was a nice car - and a really nice little diesel engine...
Many years ago, I did a 1~2~1 shift test-driving a 1993 Ford Escort. Over-revved the engine a little bit, but fortunately it wasn't damaged. I bought it and drove it for 7 years and put 86k miles on it before selling it. Sometimes I still miss not having a car with a stick shift.
Next time when removing any injector: Try twisting it until its getting loose. Once its loose in twisting direction give it a constant pull up while twisting. Thats by far the most successful tactic im having in my 10 years of being a tech for german cars ;). Even when they have „black death“. Tip for the black diesel stuff get it really cold. It shatteres like glas when ice cold. It behaves like crude oil; when warm its getting als gooey and sticky. Thats when you can lift the complete car by the injectors ;)
One of my friends had a manual Golf with this engine and it was her favorite car she's ever owned. Never had a problem with it. Ended up getting rid of it because of Dieselgate. I don't remember the why, maybe no longer able to register it because of that, but she was very upset getting rid of it.
The CR TDIs only had a true manual and the DSG as available transmissions. Because the DSG design is so close to a manual, it not having a trans on a locked-up engine isn't a tell, and that needle pilot bearing actually tells you it was a DSG and NOT a manual. The stick TDI Passats were far less common.
Thank you for a teardown WITH carnage. That is afterall why I and I suspect others watch your channel..... I do learn some things..... But it is hard to beat carnage.
I had a TDI Golf. Best car I ever owned...and VW bought it back. Big middle finger to Winterkorn...I got 60mpg on the highway...and torque to pass on the highway...in 5th gear! Only thing that got me sad was the shaking regen mode.
I had one come to my dealership with a HUGE window in the block. The turbo blew on the thruway, just started throwing oil in to the intake and the engine ran away. Threw a rod on to the highway and made a hole in the front and rear. That dieselgate warranty covered it though.
My brother owned a VW of this vintage with this engine. It was endless problems, one after another. To the point where the dealer told them to get out of that car however they could, as fast as they could. A year later, Dieselgate.
That little diesel went Boom Boom, and made it to your place. What a Mess! Let your buddy, Steve know, I've been waiting 30 days out of 20 to get an email from him about the 5.9 l magnum. Looking forward to your new -at home shop.
Yeah, that rear half of the front engine cover kicked my ass on an ALH with the same design. I was putting a used engine in my beetle and did the timing belt before swinging it in so it would be easier. Got it all done and ready to install the front half of the cover and found out that the rear half was broken. I had a good one, but to install it, i had to tear down the timing belt system all the way to the water pump. Good times.
How dare you cut those absolutely worthless hoses like that? Otherwise another great video, and yes I’m joking about the hoses for those that can’t take a joke.
My hobby has been rebuilding Diesel cars. Love this teardown. I have 2001 to 2013 VWs, a Diesel Cruze, and two Duramax Silverados. My current daily is a 2013 Sportwagen manual with 235k miles and is a blast to drive. Even after hitting a curb at 30 mph and blowing all four tires and wheels. (Don't ask.) My first was a 1984 Quantum with a 1.6 Diesel that had been sitting under a tree for nine years. That engine sure looks like a CJAA. Didn't even realize the were Diesel Passats in the US.
@@kleinbiker1The Quantum was my first successful rebuild. (Hint: Never buy a 1973 Bettle from a guy named Speedy.) Gutless? Coming up Monteagle mountain above Chattanooga, I was down to 3rd gear, 30 mph and still slowing. Turns out my throttle cable was misadjusted and I was probably getting half throttle.
@@davidparrish1133 haha nice. I think my non turbo IDI MKII diesel golf was even more gutless than my quantum. I had to draft off tractor trailers to get up hills faster on the freeway. It ironically enough also has power steering and AC
If you make regulations so strict that everyone has to lie about adhering to them, despite enormous risk, then your regulations are the problem, not the industry. Our city council decided that pedestrians have no agency and are unable to navigate the world effectively and so lowered the speed limit in the city by 10kph to 40kph. Everyone is still doing 50. Council sent a letter out crying about it and threatening to "encourage" motorists. Same energy. Rules proposed by bureaucrats who get around with bus passes and hate cars get the derision they deserve.
I do not thing VW lied. The complied with the test parameters. The just did not comply with the spirit of the law. I do not care. They made great diesel engines.
The cutting hoses isn't annoying because I want to use them, but because of my OCD that says everything should be done correctly. Please stop cutting hoses.
My buddy had a tdi and one day after school he said it shut off on him and wouldn’t start. Little did he know the timing belt left the engine with a snap.
My favorite part of this video was the cam gear bolts. Hex outside and splined (Triple-square?) inside. I could imagine a "Tastes Great/Less Filling" type shouting match (with the appropriate German accent) happening in the engineering department.
One of my favorite cars I've ever owned was a 2011 Golf TDI. It never broke once in 6 years. All i put in it was a battery and regular maintenance. And a couple ECU reflashes for emissions. I wish VW would bring the diesel back!!
Carpel Tunnel! Also known as Mechanic's Hands. Retired now and have had operations on both hands after a life time of smacking spanners with the palm of my hands. Looks like your turn is coming.
Own 2 of these engines. 103kw/6spd manual, 125kw 6spd DSG. The 103/man combination is by far the better unit, pretty much bullet proof IF you don't over rev and keep maintenance up - oil changes and timing belt essential. 125 is a little more temperamental...
When they bought the cars back, they didn't need to be whole. People were turning in cars that had no doors on them and basically every part possible that could be removed while still allowing the car to be driven to the dealership. VW didn't care since they were going to the crusher anyway.
Would love to see an old Hyundai/Kia Beta II engine torn down on the channel, if one could be found. Worked on a few of them and they always seemed to be a very simple engine, and decently reliable (for a Korean car).
"I don't know if that is the way to do it but I did it". Yeah you and me both, sometimes just doing it is the way you did it and then it's done. And when it'd done, it's done and that's the way we do it. Oh and yeah it's the water pump. Audi does the same thing as does some of the 4 cylinder Mercedes and of course it's been that way since 1974.
Even the dsg trans have a pilot bearing ...also come apart without having to unbolt flywheel or flex plate. One thing vw did. Has a dual mass flywheel on dsg as well so just comes apart.
The 2.0 TDI paired with the DSG in the 2010 Jetta my wife used to have was pretty peppy for a 2L 4-banger. Only reason we don't have it now is we were fighting a DPF issue and then dieselgate happened, so.... Over all though, it wasn't a bad car or engine at all... Edit: unbolting half the bolts holding the block to the stand is some serious pucker factor lol. Edit2: 8 out of 7 times it has worked 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I had to go back because I was like wait, did he say what I think he said?
Hitting a wrong gear is as good a reason as any on this engine, definitely happened at fairly high RPM's for it to blow up and shatter that balancer cassette structure inside the block like it did.
Love the video as always. If you want to see a blown up diesel engine, check out Larson Farms. Combine blew with 360 hrs. It had a DOOR in the side. No little port. Lol
CSX once had a locomotive diesel that blew, and launched one of its pistons (rod and all) and its head assembly out of the locomotive and through the roof of a house a hundred yards off the railway. The block carnage was equally impressive.
Been waiting to see my engine on here. 2014 Passat TDI. Peppy bigger car, love the power delivery and fuel economy. Modified just a bit with more to come. Hoping to get cleaner and more fuel econ. I can also tell you I hate getting the oil filter out.
Thank you for your subtle type of humor! First removing, then cutting the hose without any commentary made me laugh out loud!
Had a customer with one that needed so much work to pass emissions that we turned it away. Seeing this video makes me happy I didn't delve into it the routing of those hoses and harness is ridiculous engineering.
I've down shifted from 5th to 2nd at 65mph. Tore the timing belt to shreds in a tiny japanese engine. After watching this video the 200,000+ mile belt acted like a woodruff key / shear bolt and probably saved the engine from a high rpm explosion. I coasted across four lanes of interstate just in time and sat on the shoulder for the tow truck. Crankshaft sensor position code, nothing else. Luckily it was a non-interference engine; I re-aligned the gears, put on a new belt and was good to go another 60,000 miles.
This channel is so good. Helps my Sunday lunch go down..
Hello from Australia!
I absolutely love how you remove the clamps and then cut the hose just to troll all the "save the hose" crowd.
So spicy!

Perfect. Saturday engine tear down time.
I used to own one of those. Although they have their issues, the 12-14 TDI passats are actually incredibly rare now since most were crushed from dieselgate.
Own a 2011 TDI and absolutely love it. I deleted it and tuned to Stage 2 along with a DSG tune, and the car drives 40 to 50 MPG with over 300 lb-ft of torque and more than enough jam in the city and on the highway. It’s got 115k miles and hopefully it gets to 300k or more.

Mine is a 2014, Tunezilla stage .5 Looking for delete kits. That's the next bit along with Stage 2 and DSG tune.
I love Saturday evening tear downs. Thanks Eric.

His business is selling the parts, so this is basically advertising.
Dibs on the water pump
The most luckiest boy !
No, mine 👊🤨
Only if I get the hoses!
I had to throw mine out because it started leaking😞
Second dibs
Yes, I have been waiting patiently for one of these! I've got a 2013 golf with this exact engine , and I absolutely love it, 2 door, 6 speed manual, I will be driving it into the ground.
Edit: I see now the update, so not this *exact* one but just about. The 13 golf DOES in fact have the CJAA.
We had a 2010 Jetta TDI and loved it. I used it to tow my '67 bug from Rhode Island to Kansas. It was a great little car.
"Nah, really, Mom! I was just looking for a parking spot at WalMart and it just started to make this noise."
Ah, the old money shift. Seen it happen more than once from someone showing off merging onto an interstate, back when manual transmissions were standard. That sudden puff of smoke ahead of you from exhaust and you quickly change lanes to avoid the inevitable oil slick and escaping internal parts.
You have no idea how much I wished for the engine to let go just as you were sitting on the Breaker bar, I was so ready for a good belly laugh 🤣🤣🤣
Great video. I own a 2015 Passat TDI with "TDIZZLE" on the license plate. Hoping to get 200k+ miles out of it. It's been a great car for the past 4 years with amazing MPG. I was kind of skeptical when I bought with 40K since it is a VW product. It's a shame they don't sell us these diesels anymore due to Diesel Gate.
I was in your lovely city on Thursday. Down on Chouteau Ave. St. Louis has some of the most polite people I have talked to in a long time!
Bought a 2013 Sportwagon used for $21,000. Used it for 3 years and sold it to VW for $2,500 more than I paid for it. Oh and the inside of the exhaust tip was perfectly clean. Zero soot.
What a great car and great engine. The EPA sucks.
yea and they let Chevrolet somehow get away with the same damn defeat software LOL
Similar experience here. Bought a 2011 Golf TDI used in 2014 for ~$18k. Used it for 2.5 years, and sold it back to VW for ~$22k. Solid profit. I did lookup the VIN sometime after giving it back, and it was one of the many that were crushed :(
I love my 2013 VW Beetle TDI but it has had a hard life before I bought it. Right now it has a clogged DPF and the low pressure fuel pump caused a big mess(over $7000 of Repair). Low maintenance and I'm changing the oil every 3 months. $66+ a change. Also change fuel filter every 3 months and Air filter every 6 months.

Yes. There's something suspicious about the EPA standards when the "dieselgate" engines got better fuel economy and more power in their "dirty" configuration...
I love how you remove the clamp, and then you cut the hose 😂
I know absolutely nothing about diesel engines this one is a learning experience for me
I love it when you clip the hoses after you remove them.

Timing belt replacement is at 120,000 miles. I have a ‘14 Passat CKRA with the DSG. And have a ‘14 Jetta CJAA TDI. Great cars especially after a tune and weight reduction.
Yeah, that first hose cutting with no commentary was hilarious.

Thanks for the Saturday night entertainment Eric. Enjoy your weekend!
That first rod could be used in a Peyronie's medication commercial
You GOTTA LOOOVE DISCONNECTING rods...
Thanks Eric!!
Those cam bolts were an absolute symphony. I was waiting for the trumpets and organ music to start...
I Miss My Father's 79 Rabbit 🐇 2 door Diesel L 45-50 MPG was a dam good car minus the nightmare electrical system it had my old man kept no less than 5 spare fuse blocks on the shelf at all times
Damn! The flex of the bar on the 1st try.. 😮
Wow, already starting this new year off with a bang. You tore down a Hyundai 5.0 engine that I do have in my fleet, and now this CKRA TDI engine that I have in my 2013 VW Passat!
Let me grab my popcorn.👍🏾
Cam drive belt? Every 5 years/50K miles... I had a TDI Beetle; an '06, I think. Anyway, it had the engine prior to the "naughty one"; the problematic "Pump Deuse" motor.

Many years ago, I did a 1~2~1 shift test-driving a 1993 Ford Escort. Over-revved the engine a little bit, but fortunately it wasn't damaged. I bought it and drove it for 7 years and put 86k miles on it before selling it. Sometimes I still miss not having a car with a stick shift.
I had a 2004 VW Passat 2.0 TDI. It got to 212k miles and the transaxle grenaded. Favorite car I’ve ever owned.
Great content, as always!
Next time when removing any injector:
Try twisting it until its getting loose.
Once its loose in twisting direction give it a constant pull up while twisting.
Thats by far the most successful tactic im having in my 10 years of being a tech for german cars ;).
Even when they have „black death“.
Tip for the black diesel stuff get it really cold.
It shatteres like glas when ice cold.
It behaves like crude oil; when warm its getting als gooey and sticky.
Thats when you can lift the complete car by the injectors ;)
Great job, Eric. Enjoy your videos. Takes stress off my brain. 🚘🚘🚘🚘

CJAA owner here, but I’m sure it’s the same CKRA, water pump gets changed with the timing belt. That’s why it’s on top of the rear timing cover.
Sunday morning tear downs here, my wife is worried for my sanity😊
Great video! Looks like the day after at the Trinity test site of The Gadget.
Thank you for a teardown WITH carnage. That is afterall why I and I suspect others watch your channel..... I do learn some things..... But it is hard to beat carnage.

That little diesel went Boom Boom, and made it to your place. What a Mess! Let your buddy, Steve know, I've been waiting 30 days out of 20 to get an email from him about the 5.9 l magnum. Looking forward to your new -at home shop.
I might know where 1 of these engines is but I’m not sure. This was a surprise to say the least
Thank you Sir for this video.
Yeah, that rear half of the front engine cover kicked my ass on an ALH with the same design. I was putting a used engine in my beetle and did the timing belt before swinging it in so it would be easier. Got it all done and ready to install the front half of the cover and found out that the rear half was broken. I had a good one, but to install it, i had to tear down the timing belt system all the way to the water pump.
Good times.
How dare you cut those absolutely worthless hoses like that? Otherwise another great video, and yes I’m joking about the hoses for those that can’t take a joke.
Your “hose disconnection process” is so subtle.

That engine sure looks like a CJAA. Didn't even realize the were Diesel Passats in the US.
I've had three Quantums in my time, including a 1.6 IDI TD that was pretty gutless but I still loved it.
its a ckra, cjaa has different injectors and swirl flaps on the manifold

holy cow these are getting long but still watching it
If you make regulations so strict that everyone has to lie about adhering to them, despite enormous risk, then your regulations are the problem, not the industry.
Our city council decided that pedestrians have no agency and are unable to navigate the world effectively and so lowered the speed limit in the city by 10kph to 40kph.
Everyone is still doing 50. Council sent a letter out crying about it and threatening to "encourage" motorists. Same energy. Rules proposed by bureaucrats who get around with bus passes and hate cars get the derision they deserve.
I do not thing VW lied. The complied with the test parameters. The just did not comply with the spirit of the law. I do not care. They made great diesel engines.
@@stevetonnesen3666I'm not going to argue with that. They definitely complied with the testing parameters 😅
I remember making a comment on the 1.9 it'd be cool to see my engine taken apart and now here it is I'm guessing it's just coincidence tho lol
The cutting hoses isn't annoying because I want to use them, but because of my OCD that says everything should be done correctly. Please stop cutting hoses.
I can’t do that.
My buddy had a tdi and one day after school he said it shut off on him and wouldn’t start. Little did he know the timing belt left the engine with a snap.
My favorite part of this video was the cam gear bolts. Hex outside and splined (Triple-square?) inside. I could imagine a "Tastes Great/Less Filling" type shouting match (with the appropriate German accent) happening in the engineering department.
I love the rubber hose gag. I bet that drives the trolls crazy!
The water pump is a service item with the timing belt. The water pump holds the cover down so that you don’t go too far
Great video.
Never had a VW and I'm not a manual transmission guy.
One of my favorite cars I've ever owned was a 2011 Golf TDI. It never broke once in 6 years. All i put in it was a battery and regular maintenance. And a couple ECU reflashes for emissions. I wish VW would bring the diesel back!!
Update on the yard truck the semi that’s semi blown up?
I had one of the 2013 Passat SEL TDI that VW bought back. I owned it for 3 years and they gave me $5000 less than I paid for it new
Carpel Tunnel! Also known as Mechanic's Hands. Retired now and have had operations on both hands after a life time of smacking spanners with the palm of my hands. Looks like your turn is coming.
Man , what a "part"ing gift !
Thank You Eric. Nice job again. Hello to your wife and children......................Jay
Own 2 of these engines. 103kw/6spd manual, 125kw 6spd DSG. The 103/man combination is by far the better unit, pretty much bullet proof IF you don't over rev and keep maintenance up - oil changes and timing belt essential. 125 is a little more temperamental...
Just wondering can you do a toolbox tour?
A truly amazing wrist pin in its trashed brass bearings.
When they bought the cars back, they didn't need to be whole. People were turning in cars that had no doors on them and basically every part possible that could be removed while still allowing the car to be driven to the dealership. VW didn't care since they were going to the crusher anyway.
Would love to see an old Hyundai/Kia Beta II engine torn down on the channel, if one could be found. Worked on a few of them and they always seemed to be a very simple engine, and decently reliable (for a Korean car).
I had a 2012 Jetta with this engine. I regret not buying it back every time I get into my Fusion Energi.
If you bought a Fusion Energi, that's on you.
Oh man! This is a rare one!!!! 😮
Am I the only person that notices the Snak Packs in the beginning of the video? 😂
"I don't know if that is the way to do it but I did it". Yeah you and me both, sometimes just doing it is the way you did it and then it's done. And when it'd done, it's done and that's the way we do it.
Oh and yeah it's the water pump. Audi does the same thing as does some of the 4 cylinder Mercedes and of course it's been that way since 1974.
2:30 Sitting down on the job. You're doing it right. 😁🤭😂😂
Even the dsg trans have a pilot bearing ...also come apart without having to unbolt flywheel or flex plate. One thing vw did. Has a dual mass flywheel on dsg as well so just comes apart.
Even worse than being crushed is there are 100s of thousands setting in gated off lots that can't be resold.
Awesome engine! I had it in a VW Golf.
The 2.0 TDI paired with the DSG in the 2010 Jetta my wife used to have was pretty peppy for a 2L 4-banger. Only reason we don't have it now is we were fighting a DPF issue and then dieselgate happened, so.... Over all though, it wasn't a bad car or engine at all...
Edit: unbolting half the bolts holding the block to the stand is some serious pucker factor lol.
Edit2: 8 out of 7 times it has worked 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I had to go back because I was like wait, did he say what I think he said?
Hitting a wrong gear is as good a reason as any on this engine, definitely happened at fairly high RPM's for it to blow up and shatter that balancer cassette structure inside the block like it did.
This is like watching intervention as a drug addict
While rebuilding a 5.3
at least my engine is nowhere near this bad
I feel better🎉
Love the video as always. If you want to see a blown up diesel engine, check out Larson Farms. Combine blew with 360 hrs. It had a DOOR in the side. No little port. Lol
CSX once had a locomotive diesel that blew, and launched one of its pistons (rod and all) and its head assembly out of the locomotive and through the roof of a house a hundred yards off the railway.
The block carnage was equally impressive.
I've got a CKRA and its deleted and tuned. Runs way better.
Been waiting all week for this
Yes
JB Weld and StopLeak…she’d be a runner again
"I don't understand the point of that."
That is because you is not a German engineer!
I have an 05 golf with the 1.9, almost 300,000miles on her. I do plan on donating to a tear down once the car dies
those poor little hoses......you BEAST
Been waiting to see my engine on here. 2014 Passat TDI. Peppy bigger car, love the power delivery and fuel economy. Modified just a bit with more to come. Hoping to get cleaner and more fuel econ. I can also tell you I hate getting the oil filter out.
Also, what did that spare long bolt in the oil pan come from?
When the hose gets cuts after removing the clamp and shimmy the hose out
Nice
And cut!
Lol lololol
