Superb footage guys. Well documented, explained and saved me hours of swapping the belt on my A6 C5. Bumper removal was the only diff.

[@diydaly]

Glad it helped! thanks for the comment!👍👌😃

[@Riekertvv]

Dude! I love you! But seriously, I've been looking for a vid like this for almost 2 months now!!! No one has the hydro adjuster. But this made my day! Tomorrow I fit my timing belt again!!!! Thanks again!!

[@diydaly]

Nice one! glad you like it! and hope you get it sorted 👍👌

[@themtbgeordie8235]

Thinking of doing the belt ony 02 Avant your videos made me feel more confident when the time comes 👍

[@diydaly]

Thanks for the comment , much appreciated 😁👌, yeah there not bad to do once the front end is out the way and you have good access 👍

[@antelectric8554]

Great video, thankyou ! also Hydraulic tensioners good to swap out at same time. They are not that durable.

Best timing belt replacement video on KZbin. Saved me hours, thank you very much. Quick question, some kits come with the vibration damper, would you advise changing it? They seem very expensive for what they are. If I don't need to I won't bother!

[@diydaly]

Thanks !😃👍👍. yeah they are fairly expensive.. It is better to replace the damper.. I have done quite a few but have also done a good few without & never had one fail..

[@pascaltonon1347]

Vraiment super bien expliqué, je me lance. Merci

[@diydaly]

Thanks 👍

[@pascaltonon1347]

The timing belt tensionner is broken in 2 pièces. The engine was running with a Bad noise and the timing belt was ok. Excuse my english and thanks you very much

[@josecastro5857]

Hi there nice job,i did mine about 1 year now,the one thing i' ve got a litlle bad was the cranckshaft blocking tool,the one i have does not align correctly with the treads in the poley, i think it was a bad tool,i got it from aliexpress ,unlike your that align perfectly,you can also measure the readings of the syncro angle with vcds to see if it is in range.

[@diydaly]

👍 yeah the cheap ones never seem to fit very well! experienced that first hand before lol

Ok mate what about swinging front end out completely for more room ? Is that a case of undoing water pipes off passenger side top and bottom . I’m thinking of swinging front end round towards drivers side resting on pallet ? If that makes sense

[@diydaly]

You should really need to tbh mate , there’s enough room to work round

[@eddiemurphy6660]

Hi guy's thanks for the great video, just one question how many nm's for the bolts in the crankshaft pulley?

[@diydaly]

I may have it listed in the description , will try find out if not

[@mirohaapala9634]

Did you move cranksaft clockvise or Anti clockvise to get that tool on position. I have same problem on my pd engine.

[@diydaly]

clockwise mate

[@1.9tdilove71]

Very good video friend. Can you tell me which is good and oe timing belt kit I should go for . 2006 skoda Octavia 1.9 tdi alh diesel 5 speed manual.

[@diydaly]

To be sure you’ll be best ringing a factor mate , or check out the links to euro car parts / car parts for less and you reg should narrow it down

[@TheBlaert]

Been doing my 2002 Passat TDi with this tensioner today. Have done them in the past but the new tensioner is giving me all sorts of problems. When I turn the tensioner with the 2 pin tool anti-clockwise and remove the locking tool from the plunger, the gap at that point is around 5mm. I cannot get it to compress any further. Comparing the Gates tensioner to the old VW one that I took off, the Gates one has a slightly longer end on the plunger and by default sits out further than the VW one. In the workshop manual it says to go anti-clockwise, remove the locking tab then move the tensioner pulley slightly clockwise to get the 4mm gap. Will it be ok at 5mm?

[@TheBlaert]

And edit, I got it eventually sorted. The hydraulic tensioner was faulty. It wouldn't push back at all with pressure from the pulley arm, even after 30 minutes. Parts place replaced it and it's all sorted

[@E69apeTheMatrix420]

the aux belt tensioner is 16mm spanner. Try next time its a much better fit and makes the job way easier.

[@diydaly]

👍👍

[@maxthecaddy8451]

good vid and a thumbs up from me 👍 but how come you didn't change the old hydraulic tensioner

[@diydaly]

👍 I do most of the time tbh but didnt realise id ordered the kit without it

[@xsXex]

Great video guys, my B5 is on 218k Miles, so she's just run in. Any chance of doing a video for the clutch? 😬

[@diydaly]

thanks for the comment! 😃 that B5 has got about 300k on it ha , the clutch pedal has been high for about the last 50k so keep expecting it to go! if it does ill definetly do a video 👍

[@xsXex]

@@diydaly Yeah mines developed a really bad judder in 1st when pulling away, I keep waiting for it to go to leave me stranded on a roundabout.

[@diydaly]

@@xsXex haha hopefully it'll hang on till ive done a video!

[@i0am0fear0]

Do you need to replace the cam bolts or the HPFP bolts while you're there? Would you charge extra to do so?

[@diydaly]

I don’t usually replace them tbh mate

[@mihairusu8753]

Audi a4 b6 1.9tdi AWX is the same? Nice job bro congratulation 🥰🥰

[@kingtony409]

Amazing guide 💪 Is everything same on 1.9 TDI AVF?

[@diydaly]

Will be very similar

[@nesko2207]

I did the same procedure and my water pump is like making a whinig noise i hear that in this video too maybe they should do that

[@diydaly]

hmm should really so whine mate, if the belts too tight it may whine

[@user-mq4tc4nw4r]

What do you recommend a water pump with plastic or metal fins? Have the same engine code on VW Passat 2004

[@diydaly]

Doesn’t matter tbh just use a decent brand kit INA or gates

[@user-mq4tc4nw4r]

@@diydaly perfect. Just ordered the INA (complete) kit an hour ago. If you would've said metal I would be stressed rn 😂. But it just comes to maintenance if you change it at the right time it doesn't matter plastic or metal right? Btw would you recommend SKF?

[@diydaly]

skf are ok too.. I prefer gates or ina @@user-mq4tc4nw4r

[@mumtazzafar1576]

Would this work for my audi a3 tdi 1.9tdi 55 reg. Its a single cam engine l don't know whether its a pd engine or what.

[@diydaly]

Will be slightly different mate , won’t have a hydro tensioner on the a3 , not sure when your planning on doing it but I’ll have a video coming up for the 1.9 tdi in the next few months .. I’ve got one to do on a golf or seat Leon with the same engine as yours in

have you slackened the 3 bolt on the cam pulley

[@buddytom867]

@@diydaly yes like they said in the video only

[@diydaly]

@@buddytom867 you might just need to repeat the tensioning procedure with slackening them again, I’ve had that trouble before.. is it just and just out?

@@buddytom867 no need for thread lock , you can just reuse the nut mate ,

[@muharemaljija1646]

Hello, thanks for the video. I’ve made the same, same engine, same car…the crankshaft pulley tool also those 2-3mm was at right…so after that I took the old belt, camshaft has been fixed with tool, I have moved crankshaft pulley left so it fits. Just like you. Now somehow the car has no power, turbo-boost comes first at 2500rpm, after some drive it goes in safe mode. How was it by your car? Thanks 🙋‍♂️

[@diydaly]

hmm sound odd, no issues with mine.. has it stored any fault codes?

[@car.simplesurgeon5489]

@@diydaly thanks for answering. haven’t checked, but I’ve taken apart once the belt and rotated the crankshaft pulley to its old position where it was with old timing belt and now seems to be ok. I’ll do the scan anyway. Thanks 🙏

[@diydaly]

@@car.simplesurgeon5489 👍👍👌

[@peterarries7879]

Why's the 3rd cam gear bolt still loose ????

[@diydaly]

All 3 are torqued up .. It may look loose because you can see the threads?

[@VariaGaming]

Is this the same for a b5.5 Passat 2003

[@diydaly]

Depends on the engine code

[@Verschlimmbesserung]

Hi, is the 1.9 tdi AFN an interfering engine?

[@diydaly]

Yes it is mate

[@Verschlimmbesserung]

@@diydaly Thanks, I did a timing belt change a couple of days ago but ignored the ribbed belt. I took it for a spin and next you know the ribbed belt snapped and caused a lot of damage. It even wound up on the crank pully, causing the timing to slip 3 teeth or an inch or so. Could it have damaged the valves, you reckon?

[@diydaly]

@@Verschlimmbesserung are right 😬 yeah any more than 2 teeth and it’s likely to have done some damage but you never know , best just time it up and see 🤞🤞
