I finished the job tonight. Your video was so helpful. Priceless even. Tough job. Lots of patience required. Thanks again.
Rick Buch glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!
I've used this video for replacing timing belts on 2 beetles I couldn't have done it without it thank you
Just did it on a 2003 beetle, that was quite a challenge, my arms are all scratched, thanks for the video
Jimmy Andres Alvarez Botello glad to help. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the informative video. I watched it from start to finish. However, please list the tools required to complete the job. It would be very helpful. Thanks again.
Ouch, crush the oil pan seal! Excellent video! Thanks for keeping this up!!!
Bob Ross of car repair! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you for watching!
Looking at buying one of these tomorrow. Thank you for the great video mentioning sizes and tricks. Looks to be a weekend job. But one that could be done easily enough if planned correctly. They made it easy to inspect the belt at least.
Very good and thorough video! I've done a lot of timing belts but this one takes the cake!Thanks for all the tips and tricks!
181suydam glad to help. Thank you for watching and writing!
181suydam glad to help. Thank you for watching and writing!
Amazing! Very thorough video and tips and torque specs are just great.
Shafi Mohammad glad you like the video. Thank you for watching!
I must say this video got this job done for me. Although, if you're going to jack up the engine, disconnect the brake booster vacuum line as it will brake.
I wish I read your comment my hose snapped
Good video, helpful replacing my water pump. Thanks a bunch
Really thorough. Thank you 🙏
I found it much easier to install the tensioner last...put one bolt in, rotate it into place and secure it with the 2nd bolt...doing it this way, you are not fighting the belt, pulleys or alignment of the timing marks at all. once it's all lined up, pull the pin on the tensioner and you're done. I just did it to my daughters '05 1.8T ragtop and am getting ready to do it again this weekend on another '05 1.8T ragtop I bought over the weekend.
Great video, really helpful. Took me longer than 26 minutes to successfully complete.
Dave Elder glad the video helped. I wish I did it in 26 minutes too.
On your Amazon link for this kit it says tensioner adjuster is not included. Is this something else I need to buy? I need to replace my water pump and timing belt . Thanks for the help
Thanks for the video, the space to work it´s small but I could finish the replacement. Thank you. Salutes from Mexico!
Alexis Lòpez glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!
@@HowtoAutomotive Thank´s a lot. Good video.
I wish cars could be designed to be simpler to maintain and service. Having a car that can be easy to maintain and service will thus ensure it lasts longer, and therefore be more environmentally friendly. All this talk about electric cars is not the issue. The biggest environmental impact is in the actual making of the car. Having a car, keeping it and maintaining it rather than simply replacing it when it becomes too expensive to maintain is the real saving to the environment. A great video that will help keep these beetles on the road for years to come.
Hutch I would agree with you 100%
How to Automotive, with regards to the video, it might help an awful lot of people if you could mention any differences in changing the new beetle timing belts / water pump for the various new beetle models and engine sizes. For example is changing the timing belt on a 1.4 litre engine on a 2009 new beetle model any easier?
I'm trying to do this repair but I am having a hard time getting the crankshaft pulley and the camshaft pulley at TDC at the same time. This is a new to me car but I can tell the timing belt has been replaced before (napa brand belt). Is it possible that the crankshaft pulley wasn't put on right from previous mechanic? Any help would be appreciated.Thanks
Jesus! Terrible to work on this car. There is no space left to do anything! Thanks Brian for sharing your know-how!
Yes VW's are crazy to work on. Thank you for watching!
Ha! You think that’s bad? Try working on a beetle with the 2.5 and let me know 💀
Awesome tutorial! Almost invaluable in fact, but i wanted to add a couple things from my experience for those doing this for the first time. Getting the motor mount at the angle you have it at in the video at 15:27 (which is almost mandatory to reach both tensioner bolts with relative ease), the motor has to be at just the right height in relation to the car by lifting or lowering a bit with the jack. You may also need to pull the Air Conditioner line (above the mount in the video at 15:27) away a bit to let the motor mount rotate up. the AC line will then prob pinch the mount against the engine block but that will help hold it out of the way while you get the tensioner bolts started. i put the belt on before the tensioner- which was fairly easy and i held the belt in place with some cardboard folded to pinch the belt around the crank and another at the top of the cam - pinched between the belt and top of valve cover - then i used a zip tie around the lower edge of the cam sprocket to hold the arm of the idler puller up- and also help hold the belt in place - then the tensioner: i put the lower tensioner bolt in, then top bolt. there will be some tension to get the top bolt in - but i could pull the top of the tensioner easy enough to get the top bolt started by hand. Side note, There is a hole in the motor mount that goes clear thru to the upper tensioner bolt.
how long did it take to do this repair? also, I am having to do my ac condensor and compressor, i think its best I go ahead do the timing belt , water pump and pulley's at the same time since I will have the front of the car apart, will having the car front end off drastically reduce the labor time to to do this?
how did you remove allen/torx bolts from pully? the crank spins.
Gonna do this on Sunday. Hopefully I can get it done in less than 5 hours
Ollie the Aussie you can do it. Thank you for watching!
Hey man awesome video help me out a lot. Thanks for posting. Can you show how to do a valve cover gasket?
Gotrek Trollslayer glad to help. Thank you for watching! Here is a link to the video page on my website HowtoAutomotive.com for the video page. Just type Volkswagen in the search bar and all my Volkswagen videos will come up. There should be a video for Val cover gasket. www.howtoautomotive.com/videos/
Awesome video! Thanks! That engine mount is giving me a hell of a time on an 03 wolfsburg and this system might just work! There is surely no way to get that mount out of the wolfsburg so working around it and removing the hydraulic tensioner will hopefully work.I am wondering if I did any damage to the pcv/vac lines or driver side engine mount or lower center mount while thoroughly lowering and raising the engine in an attempt to remove that son of a gun. I also thought you needed a tensioner bolt and pin to remove the hyd. ten. but it should be ok to attempt w/o? Thanks again!
Sheldon Kolter i've done lots of these jobs in the driver side mount will be OK. And working around the mountain is pretty much the only way. If you can put on a new tensioner. Thank you for watching!
Damn dude! Managed to not only change the timing belt in a bug but take a nice recording too!
Thank you!
Is this the same for a 99 2.0 vw beetle?
Got this done but my boost gauge is jumping like carzy any ideas to fix this?
I liked your video,,impresive,,mechanic needs 500,,I'm trying it myself
Thank you. You got this!
My mechanic wants 500 too 😭
The mount bracket comes right out if you raise the engine slightly. Why leave it there making more work for yourself?
WOW..That's alot of Work, Practically have to remove all of it
Great video. Two questions, how much antifreeze did you have to put back in it? And does it have to be the one you use or can you use prestone?
R Z I don’t remember how much somewhere around A gallon and a half. The cool on European vehicles is has specific additives to help lubricate the system. So I would only use Volkswagen approved coolant.
I know it's been a while since you did this video.... I am having this very thing done to my 2000 Beetle.... What would you think a mechanic would charge for this? I can see it is very labor intense.
just did this today, in an autozone parking lot... took 6 hours. Bless you for uploading this video, and walking us through the process. Somehow still ended up with two 10mm black bolts with washers at the end. can't for the life of me figure out where they went. Any ideas? I seperated each step in parts, but still ended up with "extra"
PowerfulLeviB those both could've came from anywhere. I'm glad the video helped you out though!
Whew! Piece of cake huh? LOL! I'm preparing to do this job.
Rick Buch good luck with the Timing belt. You got this. Thank you for watching!
That bracket is a pain in the butt!!!
This car is a stinker to fix! Thanks for showing!
Erez Talshahar glad to help. Thank you for writing and watching!
No wonder to service a beetle cost so much. You have to do all this work just to replace a water pump and timing belt.
Most cars that use timing belts are a challenge to do timing service. Honda V6 engines are worse than this in my opinion
Wow lol I have a 2005 beetle and it’s the same color as this one 😱
Good looking car 👍🏻
Does anyone know if it is possible to replace the head gasket without removing the engine mount and entire timing belt procedure ??? PLease any input seriously welcome...
seanog00 if you mean Valve cover yes. But if you’re taking the head off everything has to come off.
@@HowtoAutomotive no no
whats cost to do on a 99 vw beetle?
2004 Volkswagen beetle mechanic question. My car shakes like over 70 when I break it gets like shaky.. I just had this done what you are doing in the video paid $900 :( but now it's shaky when I break or slow down from going fast..? What now
2 7 sounds like the front brake rotors are warped and need to be replaced or machine.
Thanks for writing me back.. oh okay lol oboy
2 7 glad to help. Sorry your having car troubles.
Move that darn Mount bracket out the way
How long does it take to change the timing belt ?
all day
How long g does the job take. I have a friend that needs it done and doesn't want to spend 1000 but so she begging me to do it
It's about an 8 hour job
Idler Pulley Torque is 23Nm
Shawn Do thank you.
No, Thank you for the video! Just did this for my 05 Cabby Beetle
After watching this im thinking 5 gallons of gas and a match
Me too mine is tore up
Can I just change water pump, recently completed timing belt.
Yes you can just replace the pump.
@@HowtoAutomotive thank you sir.
Ugh...damn what a nightmare...this is a full weekend deal here for sure
What's the cost of the job?
how much would it cost to have this done 2007
Brian Kelley it's about five hours labor Moshe have to charge $100 an hour or more. So labor should be around $500-$700 depending on labor rates. Plus parts. Parts I don't remember offhand how much they cost.
that's a lot of money but a lot of work.the 2007 is very tight. don't know if some drop the motor first.
thanks very good video.
How much would this service cost?
i have a repair bill from a shop that the previous owner of mine had done. Car is a 2002 beetle and cost 1100
Where is the windshield wiper pump?
wow, what a job... something i would rather pay the labor rate on personally :)
Matthew Semones parts cost $250, labor is around $1500, if you can piss away money then yes, pay someone
I am pretty sure you are off on that labor assessment. My shop charges $70/hr and I am pretty sure that's not a 21-hour job. Also, keep in mind that being disabled means you can not physically do certain things or doing them causes a lot of pain. After looking into the matter the process should cost between $380 and $890 parts and labor included (best and worst case scenario).
My quote is $567 for the timing belt and pump
Probably easier to yank the whole engine out?
Water pump ?
Ya my wifes beetle is going to the scrapyard.
Oh what a pain. WHY?
What a engineering mess, glad I paid dealer to do it.
What a pain, car manufacturers need to get a brain and make it much easier to change timing belt. A necessary maintenance interval.
You said:1.8?but the cover says:2.0...
it's a 1.8 liter with 20 Valves, not 2.0
