Best video I've found yet on the 2.0 timing belt install.
Damn dude.....best vdub timing belt vid i've ever seen But you left out the hard part. Getting that damn motor mount off....lol. Awsome job brian
Your one of the best at explaining the process, highlights and tips along the way. I don't own this type of vehicle but I stay for the comments. You never know what's coming. :)
Thanks for the video! Last year I got a 2002 New Beetle GLS 1.8T for $400 with a crashed head from the PO not changing the timing belt. 141k miles, then Wham!. Long story short, I got a reman. head for $500 on eBay and did the install myself. I'd never done such a complex engine job before, but your videos helped me make the decision to pull the trigger. I know you hadn't done this job on your videos before, but just the overall learnin you laid on me gave me the confidence to proceed. Thanks again.
I have learnt lots of stuff from your videos. You perfecally bridge the gap between confusing and unnecessary factory procedures to just getting it done properly.
Also like your flying videos.
Dude!, just changed the timing belt and water pump on my old ladys 2000 vw beetle, thanks a million for your video saved my bacon, made thing so much easier, keep up the great videos, your a natural at it, easy to follow along, great tips to, cheers bud
I would like to see more on this. very cool video!!
took me months to find this; the most helpful timing belt video for this car. cheers
Thanks Brian! Your trick to get the new belt on the pulleys was the help I really needed. Runs like a charm!
This video helped me a ton, very specific info and close ups are clear.
Thanks dude
Keep up the vids Brian, you have very well rounded experience working on many different makes and models and not to mention the tractors, three wheelers and chainsaws. Also your vids are clear and well shot! I have learned much! Thanks
Thanks so much!
Great video, Brian. Good audio, and nice camera work. You're going to spoil us who have to watch videos that are so poorly done.
Awesome video very straight to the point and very detailed. I'm a mechanic as well about to do a timing belt on a 03 Beetle 2.0 never done so I'm watching videos to know what to expect beforehand.
Thank you... you just made life so much easier with your explanation. Everyone says use a zip tie on the camshaft but never explain what why or how. Awesome video!
Great video. I used snap ring pliers with electrical tape on the handle as a "special tool" for the tensioner
Awesome thanks. I like how you get in depth with every step, I don't have to guess what you do because you explain perfectly, 😊
Best video I've seen on this....thank you. I would very much like to see your way of doing the whole job start to finish - thinking what's left out is the basic tear out of the engine to get to the timing belt. I've seen a few different ways so far.
Great job, wish this vid was around when we did the timing service 😅
This was so much useful straight detailed an calm voice to listing .. next time if u could start from the beginning and what to take off
This is by far the best video to explain what and why of how to do this job right!
I must say I love the way u put this video together well done good god am all the way in Jamaica and this was a good help to me to get my car back on the road
Great video! Very helpful! Thanks for posting!
DUDE!!!! Thank for showing how to check timing on the bottom crank GEAR!!!!!! you're the best!!! i look forward to just lining up the top tooth with the buttress.
Thanks Brian it was very helpful - much appreciated
excellent video. thanks for explaining things in laymans terms. this video is very useful. thanks
Much more useful than the AllData description!
Excellent. I really appreciate you putting this together.
This worked great, thanks for the tip!
The best video I have seen where you can see and understand how it is done.
Thanks for the tips. I have successfully changed my timing belt.
i always use the binder clips doing timing belts they work great!
I would like to see more footage on how to make this job easier!
Fantastic job Brian .
Exactly what I needed! Thanks! I subscribed to show support.
Nice and clear video with excellent details good job bro
Thanks for the video. Turning the cam slightly definitely did the trick for install. Cheers
You took the mystery out if doing this. Thanks so much.
You saved me so much time thank you!!!
I did this last night. Was watching a different video, I found that marking the top tooth and the bottom tooth to that peg on the crank pulley, then matching the teeth to the new belt helped a bunch. Also, if you run everything up top, you can easily slide the belt onto the crank pulley. Figured that out after an hour of messing with it
thanks for saving my day saw few videos and you the only one explain the marks. God bless you.👍
Thanks, you too!
Thanks for this video. I'm getting ready to do my timing on my Golf this weekend. Really appreciate this. If you have other info available on this I would like to check it out.
Thanks for another great video Brian. If you can another toolbox tour would be awesome. Thanks!!
Sure, mine's not that great, but I've fixed a lot of cars with what I've got.... spread out among MANY tool boxes.
Great demonstration. Thanks much.
Awesome video, tremendous help!
Agree with Wavy Dave- Best VW video. Second, Yes show more videos. Third- I have the BBW engine which has no marks and they say to use a bar to align the camshaft on back of the Cam. Any input on this? I have made my own marks so I think I'm good on the Cam. Yes the motor mount is the PITA.
Thank you so much for the clarity
Just bought a trek and I appreciate this
This is a great video very instructive very thorough
just starting this job. Thanks for the info
This guys teaching method even a dog can do it. No joking.
Show us the mountain of extra footage! also thanks for the great walk through.
Best video out there. I’m super scared to attempt this
Nice! Did you have to remove the belt again to reinstall the motor mount support?
Thank you for this very good video,now I can do my after watch this amazing video.
Thanks Brian!
This is by far the best vid on this on RUclips. Good quality video and good narration. I can’t figure out where the observation window on the auto trans is though.
Aaron Garcia look at Astral Auto RUclips channel they cover over this in much greater detail.
Scott Morgan that’s a great video. Those two guys are hilarious, too!
I really enjoyed that one...
plain and simple thank you
Thank you for removing the mystery around this job!!!!!
Great video. How often do timing belts need changing on the 2.0L turbo?
Very good tutorial!! Tho I lack that tool that looks like a beer opener....question....can I use something else? Diy style?
Another quality vid
I'm buying a 2000 VW beetle that has this timing issue and the way you explain this it looks simple.
Good video
great video bro 👍
Thanks man great help
Thanks Brian.
This is a perfect video 💯💯
Great video
Excellent video
Awesome video thank you Boss
Very informative and helpful.......i really need that specialized tool for tightening the VW timing belt tensioner,question is how?? they are not available in Kenya......much appreciation form Nairobi,Kenya
Excellent description, Brian! I liked that tip about how to identify direction of crank rotation by the relative location of the tensioner. Has that rule of thumb ever let you down?
Nope. That would be too risky for any manufacturer who dared a warranty on it.
Greetings from Romania
Nice job man.
I think it's time to replace mine also. ( 1.6 tdi vw caddy )
✌
Great job v does all 2 l engines from Volkswagen aba have the same tensioner that goes into the freeze out plug or not just a question or can you buy a tensioner pulley system like that and replace the factory older one in a mark
Woah dude 😯 (bonus footage)
Thank you it is the same on my vw transporter t5 2,0 gasoline engin
good video dude want to see more
Excelent dude!
Will the Jetta timing marks have to line up on the compression stroke ??
great job like it
Cool job.
I found an indentation on the bottom wheel, and another mark on the shield behind it, line the marks up for timing, I was lucky to find them, hope you are too
Rocket surgery is amazing stuff, especially when you start getting into the osmotic pressure equation of blinker fluid!
Brain science is much more amazing.
Hey that's static pressure!
Great vid bro, any experience with VW Caddy 1900 TDI 105 BHP? Anything extra to keep eye on? And do I need special tools?
Also, do you HAVE to turn the engine so it is at ot? Or can you change the belt in any position?
Kind regards
Hey Brian, do you know if these are interference motors? Don't want to quote someone on doing the belt if they toasted valves.
Thanks a lot Brian! I have done many timing belts done, I watched your video, then put need timing belt and tension process right easy. All work done right. Cheers!
P.S: I was doing head gasket, new head . I filmed everything as well)
PistonShack wow you used film? Lol
I wish more cars had that style of tensioner, I did a Hyundai and while it had a spring style tensioner that you pulled a pin out to release, the manual said to use a special tool and a inch pound torque wrench to set the preload on the belt, tighten the pivot on the tensioner, then pull your grenade pin. not too bad, but still more difficult than this
I'd like to see more like taking the cover off and putting it back on and so on... I have so many questions... And when do you really know you water pump is broken.
can i see the bonus footage to make the job easier ...i like your videos best.
I wold like to see more of the footage I actually need to do this job to my car because my water pump is liking.
Your spelling 🤢
In my Golf GLS 2.0 2001, there's only around a 1.5 inch space for the tool.
Did you remove the motor mount here, or is it a different model?
Right to the point
good job and we'll done job
Good job
Nice one
Thanks!!!!
I would like to see more footage to make this job easier
This was my first time job, i remember i put on the engine mounts but i forgot to tighten the tensioner. I had to redo it lool
What would be a quote from a repair shop? 2002 golf 2.0 manual
Can I just take off the tensioner pulley off without takin off belt also without taking the motor mounts off cause stretch bolts are supposed to be replaced each removal of the engine mount right
