[@rafallorek8251]

Elsa VAG states: -bans the use of an impact wrench to unscrew/tighten the crankshaft bolt -silicone can only be applied on the plastic housing of the seal , applying the seal to the oil pan may cause the excess to fall into the oil and clog the oil channel leading to engine seizure -fixing the seal bolts, first tighten the bolts to the engine block and second tighten the bolts to the oil pan

[@equipment4office]

1: I almost stripped the teeth off the bolt for the timing belt pulley on the crankshaft, in the end I just fabricated a large stainless steel plate, screwed between the timing pulley and alternator belt pulley so I could undo the offending bolt, and it came loose beautifully that way. 2: If one chooses to smear on half a gallon of sealant, you're right, carefull and with moderation does the trick well enough. The seal in my car has never been replaced (320.000 Km) so I thought it to be a good idea to replace. The old seal was short on sealant, causing a minor , but clear leak around the oil pan (for good measure, and due to the mileage I also replaced the water pump, timing belt+ tensioners+, alternator belt+tensioner, rear oil seal (requiring that special tool) , and also the flywheel, clutch plate, +pressure plate, + pressure bearing + rear brakepads+ discs+ brackets(including the brake cylinders) because I'm too cheap to hire a pro ... :)

[@wawayltd]

If anyone is interested, tightening torque for these little bolts is 13Nm. Tighten first by hand, then top 6 evenly up to 13Nm, then bottom 4 up to 13Nm.

Thank you so much!!

Great Video as usual. And here I was, thinking Ford was the only manufacturer that thought running a rubber belt in oil was a good idea. Its nuts,. keep up the good work.

[@sat3300]

Is it necessary to change belt on oil pump and crank seal when you change timing belt kit?

[@PaulPendor]

@@sat3300 I'm here now because I am replacing the belt on the pump as it has perished, and the oil pickup is blocked with bits of belt. I've read that the pump/belt is serviceable at 130,000 miles. From memory I am sure the timing belt is 100,000 miles, although I had mine done a couple of years back. So I am going to be stripping all of the timing belt etc off just to replace this damned oil pump belt.

[@Danidasanic]

theres no need to lock the crankshaft to screw in or unscrew the crankshaft bolt , you can unscrew while the belt is in place and tight it after the belt is installed

[@diydaly]

thanks

Hi, Great video😀, thanks for your work. I am doing this on a 2006 audi a4 2.0l tdi 103kW as have I broke the metal oil seal case with the locking tool an impact wrench trying to remove the crank bolt. Can you advise me of any difference's on the earlier Audi BLB engine and if do you know of another way to lock out the crank to remove the crank bolt . Thanks

I`d highly recommend changing this seal each time you do cam belt change.

[@aceryeo8409]

You are totally correct. I had the cam belt, pump etc changed last year. The oil seal now leaks.

hello my friend Can I just turn the crankshaft back to the marked position at the end? Counterclockwise? You made a pink mark with a pen, the gear wheel of the crankshaft moved slightly to the left while tightening with the impact wrench. Can I just turn the crankshaft sprocket counterclockwise again until the cam timing tool fits? Thank you for the video, it helped a lot. greetings from Germany

Nice video! Thank you for sharing! In case you have to replace the oil pump belt, is there enough room to get the belt off the (lower) pulley, or do you have to remove the oil pan?

Very informative video. May I ask what are the torque specs for the three bolts that go into the timing belt side for the engine mount also the two that bolt to the chassis leg as I’m currently stuck & I have new replacement bolts waiting to be torqued to my car is a 2017 vw Passat estate 1.6 tdi.

[@diydaly]

Thanks 👍 I couldn’t find the torque settings for them listed I’m afraid

[@TheGte1981]

Do you think 60 nm is enough in your experience for the bolts or is that not good enough or too much?

[@diydaly]

@@TheGte1981 sounds alright , if you check some of my timing belt videos descriptions there should be a torque setting listed that will be close enough, check the golf 2.0 tdi listing or seat Leon one

[@jamesellis7764]

Thank you very much for this video. It is very clear as is the timing belt video for this EA288 engine. Question: How critical would you say the crank seal needs replacing on minor leak? Mine was discovered to have some oil leak around crank shaft seal at independent vag specialist today. They did cam belt just 10k miles ago and didn’t mention this was prone to failure. Today they did interim service where it was spotted. Ideally, I’d like to avoid doing it until next 10k service but fear it won’t last. If it does need doing sooner rather than later then I’ll do it myself now (with help of your videos).

[@diydaly]

Thanks for the comment, glad you liked them 👍 it’s it’s just a minor leak from the. Sides or base it’s not really a problem leaving it till your next service , it’s it’s leaking around the centre and onto the belt then you really ort to look into doing it sooner

[@seventyseven1403]

Ive got this leak on Audi, does this cause backwards pressure to coolant expansion tank? As it spews out when hot..

[@careyprice14782]

Hello, thank you for the great video. I replaced the flange when doing a timing belt for a 2015 passat with the same engine. It is now leaking more than it was before! Do you have any idea what it could be? Bad seal? Bad install? I was also thinking it may also be a bad ccv. How much pressure should you feel coming from the oil cap when you remove it?

[@diydaly]

Maybe just not got some sealer in the right place? Or possible damage to the seal when fitting , shouldnt be much pressure , they can pressurise when the injector seals are leaking (as they are in the cylinder head)

[@Fbiopenthedoor911]

Question Do you have to dismantle the oil pan? and How long do you have to wait? 4-6 hours Is that right?

[@bobbondarul7448]

Nice What is the shaft screw tightening torque please ? Thank you

[@diydaly]

Torque Settings : Water pump bolts (x3) 20nm is + 45 degrees Timing belt idler (upper) = 20nm Timing belt Idler (lower) = 20nm Timing belt tensioner = 20 NM + 45 Degrees Wheel bolts = 130 NM Centre Crankshaft pulley bolt : Renew the bolt Stage 1 100 (Nm) Stage 2 90 (°) Stage 3 (Wait for 10 seconds) Stage 4 15 (°)

Thank you for the video, the details that you put into your videos will be very valuable when I do my timing belt and crank seal next spring. I have a 2015 MK7/CRUA 2.0L TDI. It is almost 10 years old, I'd like to do the oil pump belt when I do the timing belt. I believe the oil pan needs to be dropped to do this, and I am reading that this is not strait forward??

Im confused, im about to do this job and i think the dealer protocol is to remove pan to get the correct pressure from underneath instead of sliding it in, but would you say this does the job? It sure looks like you are lifting it up enough when its onto the crank that the sillicone dont get pushed in and settles down nicely. Nice video 😀

It would ideally be better to do it that way it just involves abit more work, ive never had any issues this way, always leave a bit of dry time for the sealant before starting the engine. the seal does slide on ok with the sump on
