this video really helped me in saving over $1200 at the dealer to get this done. Thank you so much! my Mk6 GTI is at 232,000KM and still going strong!

@@1AAuto much love, gentlemen. thank you
Funny mine just hit that 232xxx mark and now needs the Tensioner
Items that you will need basically everything in the entire world
Guys, not sure how this video doesn't have more views or likes, but great description of this issue and awesome diy! I'll get my parts from you!! 🤘😊🤘
I've watched loads of these vids now as I've never done this before, this vid is the best by far, full of tips on tools torque specs/ sequences etc. Brilliant cheers dude.
I watch your videos ,and you are clearly a great repair instructor with your instruction one can get the job done right thank you.
Thank You so much for this video. Saved me about $1000 and gave me the piece of mind that my engine wasn't going to die suddenly. The job is alot of work, but take your time and follow the video and you can get it done successfully. Pulling the pin on the new tensioner is un-nerving!

Best video on this subject. I am a huge fan of this site.
Excellent how to. Well done + cameraman.
Awesome and thorough! I had to rewind to where you guy put the bolt back on the sprocket so it doesn’t unravel loose and skip timing - sadly no mention of it @ 20:02-20:06
Thank you for the excellent and detailed video. Well done.
excellent, a professional job and very good the video, thank you
Thanks for the feedback! +QUEASHEPAPA
Awesome well explained video.
Perfect job
the best hands down
very nice explanation
Great video. Is there a similar one for a B8 A4 or A5? I know the tensioner replacement is basically the same but getting to it on a longitudinally mounted engine is different.
Like the others here - thanks so much for posting this detailed video and helping us collectively save tens of thousands of $$$!!!!
+Jim G Thanks for checking us out!
You made an excellent video. Great detail.
Thanks for checking us out and the great feedback. 1aauto.com +Simply Human
I agree wow.. Step for step in great detail.... Great stuff
Cool video, thanks for sharing. I`m in the process of doing the same job on my Jetta and I have a question. After you installed the new type of tensioner you left the circular ring on the piston in its original position, allowing a little freeplay of the piston, about 1mm. In other videos here on youtube they pul lthis ring all the way back so there`s no play. I`m not sure which is better, what do you think?
great video ,thank you
nice very relax men for work thanks

Good video tutorial
45 minute video, means its a 3 day ordeal for a DYI mechanic lol
Is the Volkswagen jetta 2015 1.8t same process? Help
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this great video. You sure are a very knowledgeable guy and provide a very detailed explanation. However, please satisfy my curiosity by telling me at how many kilometres the timing chain tensioner should be changed?
hello ,i have manual 2.5 VW jetta. What are the mechanical effects of car rolling backwards while a forward gear is engaged and the clutch is fully out? Does being forced to rotate backwards cause timing chain tensioner or other engine part damage ? i was trying to push start in wrong gear :((
It helps me thanks
Excellent, help me a lot
+Jose Escobar Thank you!
1A Auto wow excellent video hands down …. Would you please send information on the special VW crank pulley removal tool thanks
So you don't need to change the timing chain as well? I thought the kit would include that as well as the guides. Thanks
Great video.
I might even attempt to try it due to your great presentation.
Stay safe
Hi ,i was told that when doing this ,that a complete kit is needed,just wanted to know if its okay to just change the tensioner only ,im thinking if the complete kit isnt needed ,i would just have the tensioner and new chain fitted.
What brand/make Tensioner did you guys install?
Thanks for the video
+elizandrogv Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
New meaning to
I ❤ ZIP TIES
Would a rattle during starting be the Tensioner/ somthing with general? Asoon as i heard it i parked it till i figure it out
Great tutorial. I would add before start of work drain at least 50% of oil, because when you open the cover it will overflow the pan creating mess. Also, at the end of the job definitely do the oil/filter change to get rid of the shavings from seal removal.
+tsykal78 Thanks for the feedback!
Is this doable for a vw 2006 passat 3.6 ? How come there are no videos for this engine
There is a little piece of wire that goes around the new tensioner's plunger. Does anyone know what that's for and if it remains on the tensioner after installation?
This is a great DIY video. Thanks for the money-saving tip to use a nut instead of the special tool you mentioned. Anyway, I have a question...do I have to wait for some time before putting back engine oil and starting the car to allow the sealant on the cover to set? If so, how long? Or it should be ready by the time I'm done with putting back everything?
You have to let the sealant cure for 5 to 10mins before assembly and around 24hrs for a fully cured seal I normally wait a couple hours.
Hi , What spacer are you using? the one that is being replaced by the fan belt pulley , tightened with the bolt ?
+Shimisho111 We just used a spare axle nut that was larger than the crank bolt.
How long did this entire process take?
Do you have a part number or sell the O-ring for the 90 degree aluminum elbow that you have to remove to get the lower cover off

Why does 1a auto say you need to replace all these stretch bolts but not offer them for sale on their website
Question. 2011 MK6 and jumped time. I hear no metal on metal. Pulled plugs and inserted a borescope. Everything looks clean. Is it possible that my motor jumped time and there was no valve damage. TY Dennis
Yes it can happen but it’s rare
Do y’all not have air hook ups? This looks hella more work with just hand tools
This a decent video, it was well filmed and the lighting is great. However, there are some important things missing. #1 is DISCONNECT the BATTERY!!!! Also, I would be careful pulling the locking devise out of the new tensioner, I've seen plastic chain guides break from the impact. I would also use less silicone sealer. Overall a pretty good video.
+Lauren Totani Thank you for the suggestions and for watching!
Just out of curiousity, how would YOU recommend pulling the locking device out of the new tensioner so that someone is "careful"? Feels like theres really only one way to do it?
@@anthonycosta7117 Exactly... waiting for the "careful" comment suggestion.
Question: do any gaskets need to be handled that if not replaced correctly would cause oil leakage?
+Brian Schkeeper Thanks for watching! The only seals/gaskets that need to be addressed for this repair are the ones we show in the video.
What is the trick to getting that last triple square bolt out? I removed the lower 2 and the access hole is way out of reach to get to that last bolt... I feel I could maybe raise the engine with the engine support bar but that seems super sketchy. Any help?
+Massive Dubstep Thanks for watching! We actually had to modify the bit and use an open ended wrench to get the last two triple square bolts out. He goes through this process at the 14:25 mark in the video. 1aauto.com
@@1AAuto 1A Auto Parts I saw the modified bit you made. I ended up lifting the motor a couple inches with a floor jack and support bar. I used a longer triple square bit and fed it through the mounting bracket to get to the bolt. Hope this helps anyone struggling...
This is a really tedious job! Took me a couple hours just to remove the boost control solenoid and turbo elbow.
Thank you for the video!
+Massive Dubstep Thank you for the great reply. We love to empower our customers by showing you how-to perform your own auto repairs while installing our high quality auto parts. Have a great day! 1aauto.com
Can I get this done without a lift?
Shouldn't we add oil to the engine? Before starting? How about priming the new tensioner?
what is the most miles is it recommended before the timing chain stretches?
+Danny Martinez We recommend checking the Haynes manual for your specific model for this information. Thank you for watching.
@@1AAuto hmmm🤔
jo munka GRATULLOK elso video amit eveztem
l
Does anyone no wHat the timing belt base is
Excelent video, but how do we know when is time to do this?
do it every 100k or 5-6 years
How do you know if your VW 2.0 turbo has a timing chain or a timing belt?
2006 to 2008 engine is a belt and 2009+ is chaine
I was told you had to replace all engine mount bolts. Can anyone confirm? I am also having trouble finding part numbers online for the engine mount bolts for my 2012 GTI, anyone who has done the job care to help? thanks in advance!
Yes, I just did this job on a 2011 GTI, you should replace all the engine mount bolts as they are stretch bolts. Here are the key bolts to replace for this job:
The engine mount hardware kit:
n10552402KT
(Which will include the key stretch bolts: two big 18 mm N10552404 bolts, the weird pointy 16 mm bolt N91029602 and its less weird 16 mm partner N10706901)
For the engine support bracket:
Three M10 triple square bolts N10701501
One 24 mm Harmonic Balancer Bolt WHT001760
Do i need to drain the oil if im replacing chain tensioner?
No you’re fine without doing that!
I did and others have recommended it to avoid spillage.
I was told that I need my timing replaced. The mechanic went off of the computer scanner. How do they know if it is the tensioner or chain? Will this change the cost of repair? He mentioned he would order and use the kit.
If your car has some mileage, have the whole kit (chains, guides, and tensioners) replaced. Any slack in the chain, failure of a guide, or failure of a tensioner will result in bent valves and an expensive repair.
What is difference between TSI and TSFI Audi Engines?
Don engine is the same it’s called TFSI on Audi’s. But it’s mounted lengthwise on audi and transverse on VWs so access is different.
Why o why are you removeing the engine mount ????????
21:29 where are the lines for feeding oil ? there is small drilled hole which you pointed out bud there is not to feed oil under pressure, but "common free fall" oil which splashes over the entire crankcase, isnt it ? how can this not-pressured oil causing proper funcionality ? today i was checking new style but i did it without engine running, and it is supposed to be checked under running but i assume that spring is that one which moves tensioner, not oil feed... oil is probably for common lubrication of mechanical moving parts hm ?
Great video, helped me a lot!
+Ed Mi Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
How many hours do most mechanic shops charge for this 45 minute job? thx
Lol
No frigging way am i gonna be able to do that. Im praying my used cc with 132k miles had it done under warranty by the original owner!!! ( Yes ive still got to look through the rubber plug hole to see for myself if its the new or old style.)
What’s the estimated hours of service?
I did the job slowly over several days. Because of the difficulty of removing and reinstalling various parts, doing it safely, and ensuring that you don't lose things or mess up the timing on your car, I would recommend giving yourself 15 hours over 3 days minimum.
However, if you needed to, I imagine you could do it in about 6-7 hours, with everything prepared and at the ready.
@@lenschulwitz1934 you did this in your home garage with just jack stands?? I'm trying to imagine how the heck I would do this on my own and if it's worth getting the engine mount
How can you tell when a tensor is bad ?
+Casey Bailey Under normal conditions, the engine should have a consistent, smooth sound that indicates everything is running as it should. However, when the timing chain is loose, it may cause a vibration inside the motor and will be indicated by a rattling noise as the engine idles.
@@1AAuto I'm sorry I misspelled
I ment timing chain tensioner
I got a p0017 on my 2005 Cadillac 3.6
The car would start and as long as I held the gas the car would stay running but the car would not idle
There was no engine noise unless the car started to stall witch sounded like a knock or pinging noise
I checked all the sensors the connects and the relector ring on the crank everything checked out good
So I pulled the timing cover off
Pulled everything apart
The guides looked good no excessive wear
The chains didnt seem to have any slack I matched them up with a set of chains i knew were good
So then I started to mess with the tensioners
I put oil in them to simulate oil pressure in the tensioner and tryed to depress the passenger side tensioner it had some resistance then would go all the way down and get stuck then slowly come back up so I'm assuming this means it bad but I'm not sure because this is my first time doing the job
The driverside tensioner maintained resistance while depressing it
The bottom tensior would hold resistance to a point then would push oil out the hole on the top where the guide was attached
Any advice would be greatly appreciated thank you
This covers are 1 time use only on top of you didn't clean old sealant well enough to apply new one
Wow, I guess I pay someone to do all this.
+Paul Vivier Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
I think you used a liiiiiitle too much gasket goo... i would lay a small bead for except the places there there are valleys to fill...
Awesome and detailed guide, glad to see someone who shows everything! No assuming people can guess what happens between cuts
Don't cheap out and think your motor will survive with the old version. It wont.
Why did I buy this car!!!!!
how can you tell if this is the problem.. car died and the engine spins.. not the starter.. parked it.. went to get in.. spun.. no start.. sounds weird.. and I have been hearing a louder and louder sounds from the valve train..
ok after seeing this, nope no VW for me
So basically, never buy a Volkswagen...
And the dealer charges 5 hours for this. lol.
+ANDREW B Thanks for checking us out!
This video makes it look easy and cuts a lot of the work out, but this is easily a 5 hour job, and will take much more time for those who haven't done it before.
Not a fan of these years of VW...
Lots of important info is missing
What is missing?
The lower cover is one time use only and the chain also needs to be replaced because more than likely it is stretched
