2017+ VW Crafter Tips: Major Service (Cam Belt, Water Pump, Cabin Filter)

Hi everyone and Welcome Back to the Channel.
Join us as we give this engine a complete service including the timing belt/cambelt, waterpump, belt pulleys, air filter and cabin filter! We’re doing this now as the engine is exposed to us, missing it’s front end body panels (which were still waiting for).
We won’t be changing the oil is this video as it’s drained ready for taking the engine out if we need to.
This is a 2019 Volkswagen Crafter with a DAUA Engine 2.0 Tdi engine, mounted transverse.
The engine has been exposed to the elements for 6 months so things are a little rusty and the water pump doesn’t even turn anymore!
Let's get started!

Sign him up to Top gear

I'd bolt the frame on the drivers side leg, get chain block on a tree or another vehicle and pull it till inline then put the bolts in.🎉

great job guys

[@towley737]

I almost bought that van myself, just didn't have the balls. Did you see the photos of previous accident? It looked proper nice. Good luck with the repairs, gonna make a great camper. 👍

[@CrafterCamper]

Yeah, it’s really well looked after pre-accident! As expected, it needs a fair amount more work than originally thought and the parts are the worst thing - still waiting for one order of 24 parts 3 weeks later. Cheers mate!

[@sportshatch]

The engine needs to come out to put it on a jig. Don’t let anyone tell you they can do it with the engine in. You can’t. It will be a botch!

[@CrafterCamper]

Cheers! It’s coming out today hopefully!

Was the crash caused by changing a cd

[@rtclark88]

I'd buy a cheap portapack and push the chassis leg out yourself. You'd be surprised how easily it'll move.

[@CrafterCamper]

Cheers! I’m going to have a go this week hopefully!

The airbags didn't go off? that is very lucky, may have been a good idea to get the engine running first before doing other work and ordering expensive parts.

[@CrafterCamper]

Yeah, really lucky - the steering wheel airbag is still the original and the seatbelt hasn’t locked in place! Engine runs but I can’t attach the rad pack, etc. until the bumper bar is on as it sits on that (and I can’t attach the bumper bar because of the N/S Chassis Member being left by an inch). All fun and games!
