By far the best 2.0 TDI timing belt video on KZbin.

[@diydaly]

Thanks 😁👍👍

[@brianlavelle4679]

I have just found your car Channel, and watched you changing this Tiguan timing belt. you do a great in depth video giving all the torque settings as well. I watch a lot of car repair videos on youtube, but yours is the best I have seen. great close up filming. will be watching all from now on, keep up the good work.

[@diydaly]

Welcome aboard!! Thanks for the comments .. much appreciated 👍😁

[@falahal-tai2979]

Very informative video. Thanks.

[@kevinrobinson576]

Couple of small updates on this, center tory on the housing is easier to get off once the engine is jacked, remove the top cover first, minor details for someone without a ramp, other than that you saved me £500.00 ish quid! Love it 😂

[@kevinrobinson576]

*touqe

[@diydaly]

👍👍 glad to hear it

[@MrLooperg]

My cffb engine has 425k klms on it. Apart from expected ware and tare items this engine has performed flawlessly. I did a stage 1 tune from BSR and it made a massive difference to the power delivery and consumption. Thank you for this video.

[@diydaly]

👍👍

[@fariedjohnson3030]

Best video I have seen Regarding replacement, and torque settings, there no rush and a lot of good advise. Thanks mate, keep up the good work

[@diydaly]

Thanks, will do! 😁👍👍

[@restorewithcal]

Thankyou so much for this video mate. Followed it step by step and done it all now. I’m a lorry mechanic but never done a timing belt / water pump kit, so thought I’d give it a go rather than paying a garage. Thanks again!

[@diydaly]

Great to hear! 👍

[@AmeriaUprising]

Just did mine following the video, best one out there. My HPFP didn’t line up perfectly was about 1/3 of the way blocked from the left. Also tightened the HPFP to 20nm as quite allot of people have mentioned this to be the correct spec (including continental) but I’ve also seen a ridiculously high additional 90* which I don’t understand as these are defiantly not stretch bolts, otherwise surely the kits would include them new just like the camshaft bolts..

[@Dave_Stafford]

Thanks for going to the trouble of putting this together, especially with the torque setting at each step, very helpful.

[@diydaly]

No problem! Thanks for the comment 👍👍

[@diydaly]

👍👍 will do if I get chance

[@markjhewlett]

Nice work great guide. Do you not change the tensioner studs like on the older PD engines?

[@diydaly]

👍 thanks , I don’t tend to on these later ones , always check the stud with a fresh but just to check it first

Thanks

I once saw on a VAG website that they guarantee timing belts up to 320,000km. My 2012 Jetta TDi is currently at 190,000km.. I'll do the belt later. It's a lot easier to do on a Peugeot DW10bted4.. I did the glow plugs on that too.. OMG.I once saw on a VAG website that they guarantee timing belts up to 320,000km. My 2012 Jetta TDi is currently at 190,000km.. I'll do the belt later.

[@ianpurcell7266]

Are you sure it was not 210000 klm

[@herbertvonsauerkrautunterh2513]

@@ianpurcell7266 nah. Pretty sure it was 320,000km. Not quite double 180k km..... who knows, who cares? I'll change the belt and water pump when I get around to it. No rush

[@mercsprinter6761]

Great video and a job well done and well explained do u have to use a torque wrench im not sure i trust them 👍👍

[@diydaly]

👍you don’t have to but it’s recommended

[@chrismcauley564]

how much do you charge to fit belt

[@colin5064]

Great detailed video just one question would the torque settings be the same values for a 1.6 tdi? As you were working on a 2.0 tdi

[@diydaly]

They may be slightly different hard to say with out checking the autodata

[@colin5064]

Thank you l will see what info l can find ref the possible different torque settings@@diydaly

[@paulwary]

I have the CFGC (2013) 2 litre 130 kW engine, I suppose the locking tool is the same, but the specific engine (or even the series EA189) is never mentioned. Should any of the tools on ebay that look like this and say "TDI 1.4/1.6/1.8/2.0" work ok?

[@diydaly]

Yeah most will do it if it’s got the 2 different types for the crank in the kit

[@HugeVictor]

In your experience, does a timing belt tensioner loosen over time? Is it prudent to set the pointer on the right side of the channel?

[@HugeVictor]

Judging on this video, the answer seems to be yes to both questions as the tensioner is far towards the slack side on this engine.

[@diydaly]

I’d always recommend only setting to the centre , you don’t want to over tension..

[@user-mj9gz8gb5j]

Hi if all the timing marks line up, can you still be 180 degrees out! Many thanks John

[@diydaly]

No it’s the cams lines up should be ok

[@HarlemShakeKing]

Would this be the same set up on a 2010 Seat Leon 1.6 TDI CAY enigine ?

[@diydaly]

Should be very similar

[@HarlemShakeKing]

Thanks for the reply. I just came accross camshaft synchronisation. Why is that done and when does it need to be done ?

[@riskfreesolutionsforbusiness]

Do you know what damage gets done ifd belt snaps on these engines ? just wondering if its worth fixing ?

[@BudgetGunner1]

This is an interference engine. Meaning the valves and pistons occupy the same space, just not at the same time. If the timing belt breaks the pistons hit the valves. If you are extremely lucky you need to rebuild the head. In most cases you need a new engine.

[@sauldean6430]

Can you please help me, what do i do when the timing is off?

[@diydaly]

If it hasn’t damaged anything you need to strip it all down , re pin it and put the belt back on

[@92433498]

what is the number of the torque wrench want to order one ?

[@mattheaton7165]

Hi there, Great, well explained video Would a Passat B7 2.0 tdi be exactly the same to do ? I might give it a go Regards Matt

[@diydaly]

Pretty much the same

[@HorseMeal]

Does the fuel pump need to be timed? Being a common rail u would’ve thought it shouldn’t matter if it’s locked or not

[@diydaly]

It’s more for balancing purposes , should be set it the correct position reallly

[@globm2672]

What model of torque wrench is it?

[@diydaly]

ebay.us/zQeDgq same as this mate

[@danj3322]

Absolutely mint video and has given me the confidence to change my belt next week on my 2.0 TDI superb. Thank you very much for this!

[@diydaly]

Best of luck! 👍👍

[@danj3322]

@@diydaly thank you it went really smoothly, kept referring back to your video. Two things, I stupidly tightened the cam pulley bolts the first stage and second stage to angle before turning the engine around by hand like you do on your vid. Do you think this would be an issue? Also I didn't replace those 3x bolts and realised after they came in the kit. Do you usually replace them, I don't think you did in the vid? Thanks

[@diydaly]

@@danj3322 not you’ll be fine reusing them, as long as everything’s lined up still you’ll be fine mate 👍👍
