Fixing everything wrong with my VW T5

Changing the Timing Belt, Water Pump, Glow Plugs and Engine Mount should keep the van ticking over for years to come.

Great video. I’ve just done my first timing belt on the same engine, but in a VW Caddy. I had the same issue with the crank locking tool apparently not fitting but it actually fits perfectly (I found this out after a lot of googling!); the trick is to line the teeth up then slide it in flat across the width so they engage. I was 100% sure I had bought the wrong tool or it was poorly made until I tried this.

Great! Hope we will hear if it roars smoother with the new mount! :)
