I Nearly Destroyed My VW Polo's 1.2 Tsi Engine, While Replacing The Timing Chain! Pt3
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- We are one step closer to fitting the new timing chain, I've nearly messed up a few times now, but I've noticed in time. Can I still save this badly neglected engine and get this VW Polo R Line back on the road.
I've never replaced a timing chain before so this is a massive challenge, especially on a neglected 1.2 tsi engine. As I delve deeper into the engine I'm finding more problems. Can I actually pull it off and replace the timing chain or is the engine knackered.
Hopefully, I can pull it off and actually fix the engine faults, The EPC and Engine light are on, but The engine has a misfire, Is the timing chain stretched or is it knackered.

I would highly recommend this guy as his attention to detail outweighs other RUclips car repairers. And he is working in a small home garage.
Thanks very much I really appreciate it
Great video. A tip for pressing on the drive sprocket, heat it up in a toaster oven or something similar first. It will expand slightly and be MUCH easier to press on. You can also use a bolt in the threaded hole of the crankshaft and press on the sprocket using a nut and a washer or socket. This way you don't have to hit on the crankshaft in a longitudinal direction. Anyway, looks like the sprocket came on without a hitch!
Congratulations M8 glad to see you are in good spirits.The salvage game will send you through a roller coaster of emotions.Sometimes it is as simple as a rounded off bolt to ruin your whole day.But when you get past the barriers and make it to the finish there is no better feeling to know you did that.In the words of Dee from salvage nation KEEP IT MOVING!!!!
Cheers buddy yeah you’re definitely right it’s the buzz you get once it’s finished that makes you carry on.
Personally I think your doing well and learning along the way, keep up the good work and great vids 👍
Thanks very much I appreciate it, very expensive training lol
What a great channel….you really go into detail on how to fix a problem…. Other channels need to take note because this is what we want to see…not tell us what you’ve done after it’s done with no video to show it!!! Great content I hope people see your channel for how great it is….brilliant…”❤
Wow thanks very much for the kind words I really appreciate it, I hope people get to see my vids too lol 😂
Quiet night on the Taxis, enjoying the video. Thank you
I’m glad I could help lol 😂
Great video mate, your plodding along with the job nicely.
Plus it's always best to double and triple check your timing, it's something that I always do myself.
Looking forward to seeing the next installation video. 👍
I’m glad you’re enjoying it, I’m secretly enjoying it too lol
Loving your videos mate. I'm not a professional mechanic, but I spent 50 years as an aircraft maintenance engineer & have rebuilt/restored many cars & motorbikes in that time. I have just done this job on a mates vw caddy & it was really simple. I think where you went wrong re the timing, was tightening the cam sprocket bolt before you fitted the tensioner. Anyhow, all you had to do was slacken the cam sprocket bolt, rotate the crank web to the stop & retighten the cam sprocket bolt. Anyway, no matter & you got there in the end. Keep up the good work for us all to enjoy.👍
Great job , pay attention to the tiny differences will help and usually I soak the chain in oil before installing
That’s a cracking tip, I should have done that, I will definitely do that next time, I just tipped a little oil over the chain but yours definitely makes more sense.
Yet another fantastic video, and update ! Great to see you had the forethought to end the vid on a high! Happy to see you smiling !
Looking forward to the first start on the new chains !
Keep ‘em comin’

Thanks for the continued support I’m extremely grateful, I’m glad you enjoyed it, I think I’m secretly enjoying it lol 😂
well done well worth another look for someone who not done this kind of work before a big well done
Thank you for the support I’m extremely grateful
Tip use green brilliant pad, emery paper should not be used. Bits of emery particles can infuse into metal - that's why you never see transmission builders using it.
The coloured links align to the marking on the cam sprocket and there should be one for the crank sprocket, they are there to show you that you have the correct teeth on the none tensioned side of the chain, I would think when releasing the tensioner you should have the cam sprocket loose so it can turn, turn the crankshaft to make sure it is pressed against the locking pin and then release the tensioner. As the cam sprocket can turn all the slack from the none tensioned side will transfer to the tensioner side at this point you can turn the crank to make sure it's still against the pin and tighten the cam sprocket. Pull the pins do the 2 turns on the crank but stop just before TDC or only turn it 1 and 3/4 turns, insert the crank pin and continue turning until you feel it lock refit cam locking tool if it fits great if not release the cam sprocket and turn the camshaft until it fits retighten and redo the 2 turns. normally you'd have the rocker cover off and would be able to turn the camshaft with a spanner :)
Thank you for the advice, I’ve been following RUclips videos for the removal and installation but it’s not 💯 clear, I’m glad someone knows what their doing lol cheers for watching 👀
Fantastic detailed video, I know getting those camera angles and the superb editing takes a lot of time 👍
Fair play mate. Well
Done
Thanks very much 👍
Great video again but I buy and sell myself and live in Wales I'd suggest trying to put a more positive spin on your cars a lot of people wanting to buy will see a bit of silicone sealer in the pick up etc and panick and will be put off buying.
I know your trying to show everything warts and all but buyers can be very wary of things that aren't really any major issue tbh.
Your a really honest guy and I'd like to see you doing really well but as I said maybe showing it as a big positive changing the chain etc could be a massive positive for a buyer instead a maybe a bit of a negative.
Hope this helps and doesn't come across as a negative I'm honestly just trying to help you fella
Not negative buddy I’m grateful for any advice, yeah you’re probably right it does come across as a bit of a negative, I’m going to try with a new project to be more positive, thanks very much
Loving this series mate, great work!!
I’m glad you are enjoying it, to be honest I’m secretly enjoying it as well 😂, thanks for watching 👀
Well done buddy better to be safe than sorry you’ve done really well considering you’ve never done anything like this before it an be very daunting
Everyone has to start somewhere, just take your time and double check everything and I’m sure it’ll work out in the end lol
Kind of remarkable that the double sprocket on the crank is not timed?
And take out the spark plugs when you rotate the engine by hand!!
Good job mate, fit the tensioner then tighten up the cam sprocket last it's not keyed, that way the slack is taken out and you won't have that problem again
Thank you for the advice I will try and remember that for next time, it’s definitely a learning curve, but I think I could pull it off a bit quicker next time, cheers buddy
Your thoroughness got you there anyway mate,great video.
Well done for carrying on fella
Thanks for the support, that’s why I keep going.
Well done man
Thanks buddy
Part numbers would be very helpful
I will try and remember that in the future thanks for the tip
Just a thought if you redo your video title to include the engine model no and size it may generate more hits as regards your more in depth video?
I might just do that thanks for the advice
Put that gear in the aitfryer mate 240 and it will just push on with no effort at all.
Do you have the part number of the worn-out screws of the guiding rails you had to replace? Big thanks in advance
Great video pal you deserve a break.
You need to get a plastic blade scraper so you don't damage the mating surfaces.
The silicon that they used would never come off with a plastic scraper, but totally agree this was extreme but it was so bad it needed to be lol 😂
Hi what software are you using for your thumbnails 👍
Just photopea free software buddy, why do you like em?
Did you contact Calvin at Binca regarding the Audi S1?
No I have to be honest Calvin scares me 😟 I don’t think I could go on his channel lol 😂
When did he nearly destroy the engine?
Good evening , thnx for the entertainment….Love500 after dozens of repairs,still has not done a timing belt/chain ( has threatened to ) ….he apparently makes a profit….is there a message in that ? Rgds Peter
😂😂😂
Yeah don’t get to involved lol, to be honest Paul from love 500 has got it down to a fine art and never keeps a car for long, and that’s how it should be done 👍 not like me a complete idiot that repairs everything lol
Arrrgh why put a brand new chain on a dirty floor to pick up grit and potentially damage your engine. Just lay things on something clean like a cloth or clean cardboard but not the floor 🤦
Ok don’t shout 😂 yeah I agree after watching back it was a bit of a stupid thing to do, point made I won’t do that again lol thanks for the advice I could have done with it when I was fitting it lol 😂
@@RevivingSalvage didn't mean to shout it was just one of those moments where you watch and cringe lol. Put up a foldable table or something with a clean cover on and keep things off the floor you want to keep anything that goes inside an engine as clean as possible.
It’s fine, I’m only joking, you are definitely right though I will definitely take on board the advice for next time thank you
Amazing, they allow 1st year graduates engineers to design engines at VW. Not surprisingly, though, as it happens at many European car companies. Mechanics & owners pay the price later.
Stop buying VW and Audi junk. Over complicated and expensive parts. Just buy what sells well like Ford and Vauxhall. Cheap and plentiful parts.
Totaly agree 👍
Yeah you’re right but I do like a VW lol 😂 but after this project I’m going back to basics, super cheap bangers
Come on let’s complete the brands, get a bmw next 😂
