Thanks for your videos. I just got a TT and started making videos on it. Your videos are helping me out. Nice work.

Hi bro isnt those cam caps are other way around ? C. Tensioner side should be cap #2 and cap #5 should be at gear side ?

Nice video Bryn, why does it snap over as you turn it without the sparks plugs in? Thats very confusing for me as I can't see what installing the plugs would touch or do to make that not snap over like that... Or is it when oil pressure is t there it snaps over and oil pressure makes it sit up fully so it doesn't do that when running .. cheers
@BWSTT3 жыл бұрын
It does it with or without plugs, but without plugs you aren’t fighting compression. Tdc (or as near as makes no difference) is a natural resting point for the cams. And yes, with oil pressure it takes up the slack, so it doesnt jump like it does in the video

Hey there, been pouring over your videos, great stuff! Recently picked up a 2003 TT 1.8t 6 speed manual. I've been driving it the past few days with no trouble, but yesterday as I was pulling into my driveway, shifting became very stiff, and over the course of a couple minutes, it became impossible to shift into any gear. It will shift fine when the engine is off, but when its running I cannot get it into gear. The clutch seems fine, it doesn't stay down, and it doesn't seem to have lost pressure. I don't think I broke a shift fork. There is a slight ticking when it's in neutral, which goes away when you apply pressure to the shifter towards any of the gears, but I don't have enough seat time to know if that was there before or not. I'm going to try to bleed the slave and master tomorrow to check that, although the fluid level looked ok, but aside from that have you ever come across this issue? Again, it was shifting fine, driving smoothly, then over the course of a few minutes, shifting became progressively harder, to eventually impossible. Hoping it's a simple fix but after spending the day looking on the internet, it seems the old tt's aren't the most reliable machines lol. Anyway, greetings from Canada, and you've earned another sub! Cheers!

If you pump the clutch pedal a few times before shifting does it help?

If my intake cam is out but my exhast cam has never moved, can i safely turn the motor to tdc on the exhaust cam then install the intake cam notch up and count the 16? I was doing a tensioner replacement job and rubbed off my white out marks.
@BWSTT2 жыл бұрын
If the intake cam is still completely removed, then yes you can but remove the spark plugs to allow easy movement.

How often do you need to change the cam chains ? I got my water pump and timing belt down 100km ago. Mechanic never commented on chains . They aren’t rattling so I guess there are ok ?
@BWSTT3 жыл бұрын
With regular servicing they shouldn’t ever need doing
@Austin-bc1yh3 ай бұрын
I would recommend doing new cam tensioners every 160934.4 kilometers[100k miles] usually they throw codes or show early warning signs like bad cold starts when oil pressure is lower or chain noise but thats not always the case. It is a part of the car that can fail with minimal warnings if you are a spirited driver like most 1.8t owners are and can contribute to the red oil lamp of doom and do severe damage is seconds. Ideally if you can afford to, just replace the tensioners whenever you do timing belt services.
