That's why you don't buy these money pit vehicles

SUPER EASY yeah man idiot design

Good job Jonny. Great follow up on work you were questioning.

Get your car tuned by a pro shop

Ich hatte einen Escort Cosworth von 1993 -2006 absolut standfester Motor.Mein Bruder hatte Ende der 80er den Sierra Flügel Cossie (Ur-Cossie) absolut geiles Auto und legendär!Mit dem wurde Ford zusammen mit Klaus Ludwig DTM Meister!Leider wurden die Cossies im Zuge der DTM immer mehr beschnitten,sprich mehr Gewicht weniger Luftzufuhr sprich Ladedruck,da sie den Saugern von BMW M3 und Mercedes 190er Haushoch überlegen waren.Auch um den Erdball rum waren die Cossies sehr erfolgreich.Und in der Formel 1 ist Cosworth ein großer Begriff!Cosworth hat hauptsächlich für Ford Motoren überarbeitet,hat aber auch für Opel,Audi den RS 4 Motor,und für Mercedes die 190er 2,3 und 2,5 Liter 4 Zylinder Motoren überarbeitet.😎👌😉

Can understand people that want the car lowered. Suspension will be still and good luck going over bumps and uneven surfaces

Jonny doesn't use gloves because it would ruin his feather touch

What do you think of the new 2024 B48 engine ?

Hi Ninja What kind of blastingkit do you use. I want to buy one but dont know what is a good machine Thx

The early versions (~2004) of these engines were known in Europe as "Head crackers", because the heads would crack for no apparent reason. It took them 2 revisions of the head to fix the issue. I owned one in a Golf 5, and it was a solid torque-y engine, and it never failed me, but I only clocked it to 100.000Km, so it's possible someone else had the issues, if any.

None

The M50 Engine is one of the best engines by BMW the timing chain will last beyond 200000 miles without anything snapping 😂

Vw products high mileage sucks to own

Too bad BMW couldn't use MX-5 and MX-6, they belong to Mazda.

Hey johny great job on the belt. Done mine too dyi on 2021 tdi in europe and its still the same apart from ADblue stuff getting in the way. Pulley went just at 77 000 miles :(. went with OE VW kit and hopefully it will stay trouble free for another few years.

Great video thank you!!!

Step 1. Install engine support bar? Oh hell no.

I've come to the conclusion that BMW doesn't make cars to be serviced, but to be traded in on a new one every three to five years...

I don’t do how to video then show most of a timing belt job 😂

Had this exact car. After the VW emissions scandal the offer they made to buy it back was too good to pass up. Still miss the torquiness of the TDI, super fun to drive.

Bet Volkswagen easier work on then my ls460 lexus my has bad computer or timing chain misfire in all 8 cylinders

The EA288 is definitely with one of the best diesel engine VW has engineered. I have the same engine in my 2015 Jetta and did the exact same job in March at 80k after purchasing the car

Probably the reason for the seven spline bolt is the 200Nm (147 ½ lb/ft) torque spec? A hex head bolt might get rounded off trying to torque it down.

Heh, I remember the old hot rod saying, Injection is nice, but I'd rather be blown. 😉

What a shame what happened to bmw. This capitalism affair will lead to a dead end. Always having to perfect what's already perfect. It's insanity.

Hey Jonny, I just test drove a 2015 Passat 2.0 TDI SE 6 speed manual, and you saying that this engine is "bulletproof" has calmed my nerves a bit on the purchase to give the car to my brother.

These videos pop up on my KZbin occasionally, not really my thing anymore. When this shop used to help out thst idiot that bought wrecked cars, it was interesting.

Owner took great care of his car and the car took great of him.

The balance shaft was a problem on the 2.0 L TDI, has it gotten better? On the older 1.9 L TDI there was no balance shaft that could cause problems.

Wasn't it a red coolant leak?

Or...you could learn how to do the work yourself. If you are intelligent, mechanically inclined, and can access factory approved or oem service info. I understand some should not attempt to repair anything, period, much less their own vehicle. However, I also understand alot of people dont want to get their hands dirty today so, this is why every variation of the services industry is making $$$bank$$$. Because they know the same thing. Supply and demand....a oppportunost dream come true.

Still sad that Hoovie didnt sell the z8 to you, he did promise that he wud ,

You made that look so simple…..helping me to realize that I would botch it up ….. I’ll just pay if I ever need that done on any car!👍🏼👍🏼

Interesting … my wife has done her high pressure fuel pump on her Tiguan… !! $$$3370 from Germany !! Bugger ! I’m looking at an after market job ..? The cars done 188,000 kms (NZ) belt and w/ pump was done 15,000 kms ago .. she loves her little rocket , possibly only worth $15k …😢 Just put 4 new tyres on it to boot !! Watch this space …

*its* water pump and...

Your videos are so relaxing to watch.

Last video was 1 month ago 😅😅 c'mon bro upload at least 1 a week! Cuz I really do love this channel.

In racing, you learn "smooth is fast". Watching Jonny work is like that. He doesn't rush, but I'll bet few would be done before him. Thanks for taking us along.

Vice grip to coolant hose...OUCH.

I think the 2.0 BMW is the best diesel engine. I’ve had 3 of them and never an issue and no timing belt to change. Jonny you make everything look so easy. I wish I lived in Kansas.

That's why people want to bring you their cars right there! Most techs would have said "probably good enough" but not Johnny. If only more were like you!

Where you been hiding??????

Love the vid's but they are too damn short brother

i bought a 2013 for my son's first car. 64k miles, vr6, awd. had a ppi done before buying it, and no issues present. when it got home from the dealer, i immediatley had a german specific shop do an oil change with motul, and had the dct serviced. several months later, no issues so far. oil changes will be done every 5k with full synthetic oil, like i do on all my cars. i heard the vr6 are less prone to the timing chain issues the 2.0 are, so thats a relief!

As per VW’s own ELSA workshop manual the HPFP’s pulley doesn’t need to be exactly aligned for the pin after turning the crankshaft, its just the camshaft as HPFP is gonna pull on the belt either way. Also since this is CR it doesnt need to be that precisely synced with injection cycles.

It's not a two point o engine,,,,,,Why do all Americans say this,,,,,Its a 2 litre ,,,,,,,,,,,No o,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,When you go to the shop you don't ask for two point o quarts of milk do you,,,,,,,,,,Here in Europe we never say o. ,,,,Its 2 litre ,,,,,,3 litre ,,,,4 litre ,,,,And so on,,,,

Typical VW. It's like they want u to throw the car away when it comes to regular maintenance procedures

One of the best car channels on KZbin!!

Hopefully this 2.0TDi won't have cracked head :D

You know it’s going to a good day, when you realise that there is new material from Jonny @ German Motor Works. Happy Christmas to all.
