I honestly think this is the most informative guide I’ve ever seen on KZbin 👌

[@Tester-scratch]

Just brilliant, thank you. I have never attempted a belt replacement before, but it looks fairly process-driven, and your instructions certainly make it seem like something that I could do. Really appreciate the time you took to create this video.

In 2016 I worked for a shop in Pasadena, California that had a real asshole of an owner. A customer's wife had always loved the Audi TT and they bought a used front wheel drive TT. The owner changed timing belt but shortly after the new timing belt broke so the car came back. He then passed the job to me, head off and a valve job, reinstall head and new timing belt. Shortly after we luckily caught the belt starting to get chewed up and changed it. Again a little later, the same thing. The belt was being pushed off the cam gear and once the belt edge came off the gear it didn't take long for it to get chewed up. As I installed the third or fourth cam belt I finally noticed a large washer between the tensioner and the block which I could not find in any schematics. I went and asked the shop owner, who had done the first belt change, why he put this washer there and if it was there when he did the first belt change. He just said he didn't know the answer to either question, as if he deliberately put it there to fuck with the customer. After NOT installing this washer everything was fine but now the poor lady had lost ALL confidence in this car and didn't love it anymore. I remember tha pain of wrestling that engine mount out and in on every one of these jobs.

i think this is the best how to video to do a PD cambelt with torque settings and in plain English 👍

[@jonaahanwestwood7891]

Hi how come you didn’t change the idler pulley pine as well as the tensioner pine they came in the kit together are they both the same setting in the engine mate

[@seankelly7215]

besides the engine mounting ....Everything else was a doddle ...Thanks

[@bootsowen]

You made a lovely job of this video, I have done it before on a transporter ABL and on a SDI golf. But not recently, this is a very comprehensive video and well done!

[@veikkovahasoyrinki3200]

Skoda Octavia 1.9TDI BXE engine. Looks to be similar but are those torque settings same for that? Or should I buy erwin for a day to confirm? It is the same engine code.

[@spikeanywhere4792]

What if the arrow of the tensioner was not exactly pointed to the spot, but almost near to the spot, but the belts is tight and i rotate already the engine motor by turning manualy clockwise and the belt and the timing still fine, its ok to run now the engine, plese answer cause this is urgent before i start the motor,no problem the timing and belt just the tensioner not center vw golf TDI 2009, 2.0

Just one question I have an Audi A3 1.9 TDI BLS the camshaft locking pin goes in but when i have to position the crankshaft locking tool it wont sit in perfectly is there a specific way to do it or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

[@jerprouse146]

This is the best resource I found for this job. Great job! Thanks for giving just the important info with none of the filler

[@Ex3t3r]

I have this exact same job on my to do list, thank you for making the job easier with your knowledge and expertise and of course 👍 for taking the time to upload this step by step tutorial

[@tomthepetrolhead97]

I found your video really helpful when changing the belt on my 1.9tdi BXE engine as I brought locking tools that were suppose to fit however the crank lock didn’t fit in the correct place so by pinning the camshaft and using your video for reference point on the crank I got the timing perfect and engine runs great.

[@arai_sam]

Massively helpful. Thank you for taking the time to produce

[@thatfortnitedad8612]

Best video tutorial ive seen in a long while very informative good job sir!

[@andypatterson7790]

Cheers Bud. Just done a full belt kit on my sdi Caddy. Your video really helped.

[@peterturnbull9133]

Absolutely briliant tutorial on "How to". I have done this job years ago on a 1980 Golf GTI and it seemed much less complicated, but I now have this job to do on and old passat TDI and having the checklist of what is needed has been invaluable. I have to remove the front of the car for that vehicle and want to make sure I have everything I need before I start.
