Step-By-Step Water Pump Replacement on VW Passat, tiguan, CC, EOS 2.0 Turbo TSI/ CCTA 2008-2016

[@joeobrien3541]

I own a Porsche shop and do some VWs. This video is the most comprehensive and clear 2.0t water pump replacement instruction on planet earth.

[@motorcarnut]

Thank you! Much appreciated, especially from a fellow shop owner.!!!

[@efuture07]

I agree!

Thank you for sharing I have a 2016 VW Tiguan the dealership wanted to charge me $2,850. Did it myself with your video to follow , you’re the man 💪🏾

[@motorcarnut]

Now that’s what my channel is all about! Thank you for the feedback! Much appreciated!

[@Grimz0327]

Yessir thank you again I’ve subscribed to your channel and shared your video with a few friends who have VW’s pertaining to the year of the vehicles you instructed this video is great for. Happy holidays and Happy New Year to you my friend 🤙🏾

And you as well!!!!

[@PictureProStudios]

How long did it take?

[@pinkpapafranku]

This video saved my ass!!! I have a 2014 CC and i learned the hard way that an oil leak will cause the seal to expand and crack the plastic. I was able to get a new water pump in there so i can get to work and next week i can deal with the valve cover. This is one of the best tutorial videos I've seen and I'll 100% be checking back when i have other work to do. Thank you for making this!!!!

[@motorcarnut]

No problem, thanks for the feedback! much appreciated.

[@anthonybalducci1688]

This video is fantastic! I had to replace the water pump on my 2012 EOS, this helped tremendously. I would add for everyone, while you have the intake manifold apart, clean everything before reassembling. It was mentioned in the video, but want to emphasize that. Thank you!

[@motorcarnut]

You're welcome! Thank you for the comment, really appreciate it!

[@izmaruchanzi6560]

Thank you for taking the time to show us a super clear break down of the process. Gives you the best description of the how to do it!! First time working on a VW after this video I’m sure will get the job done!! If a 3 year old watch this video he will definitely learn how to take the water pump off that’s how great he explains everything! Great video

[@motorcarnut]

Thank you for the kind words! Really appreciated! Also, in the video description there is another video on the hidden bracket that must be removed to get the intake manifold off. When I made the video that particular vehicle didn’t have one a forgot to mention it, just a heads up! Good luck if you get stuck give me a holler.

[@arnoldrhuback2746]

To motorcarnut, i have a 2012 vw eos with currently 72000 miles on it, i know that somewhere down the road i am going to need a thermostst or waterpump or something down in that area and this video that i just saw that you made was incredible to watch, i have already had to replace the temperature sensor in the waterpump housing due to failure and after knowing what i had to go through for that and knowing that some day i will have to replace the waterpump, watching this very through video i will be able to tackle it, but you did an incredible job creating this video along with explaining everything, while taking all this stuff apart now is the time to replace the waterpump, the thermostat, the tempetature sensor and any "o" rings and gaskets while its apart at the time for whatever you are already doing, for the few extra bucks for parts, now is the time to do it to save yourself tear down time in the future, again thanks for the great video.

[@motorcarnut]

Sure, thank you as well really appreciate the comment and feedback and good luck!

[@AbrahamRomney]

Thank you! I was following another video and got the intake manifold removed and was almaot ready to give up because I coiikdnt follow what they were doing when removing the pump. You made it perfectly clear. Much appreciated.

[@motorcarnut]

Great to hear! Thank you very much for the comment!

[@HellenicVanagonTheSyncroHeresy]

Very comprehensive video! Congratulations! As an owner of the grandfather of the TSI engine , having a g60 motor into a Passat Syncro, ( 325.000 km.), unopened for repair, make some unavoidable comparisons. At that era, (1990), users complaining that the g60 engine was very complicated and fragile. The real life saw that it was, simply, so much ahead for the era, (of the 90's), but for nowadays, too. With an ABT kit, (@ 200 hp), works for 32 years without a glitch, having so much better qualities, (every part is made of aluminum and the notorious supercharger of the exotic magnesium). (Of course, the car was and is for every day use and not for races). I service her in person, without being a mechanic, and tomorrow I am going to change, by my self, for the first time in 325.000 km., the water pump which is, in comparison to the TSI's pump, a miracle of technology in its simplicity, quality and durability. Not to forget that the g60 supercharger, supposed, at that era, to be a grenade , works perfectly, (the 3rd generation), and is proved to be more durable than the TSI's turbos and superchargers, without problems , having a M.T.F. of ~200.000 km.. As for the timing chain of the TSI, you know... The g60 has a timing belt working silently, (no diesel sound but rather a turbine), and, just in the case you forget to change it, the g60, as a non interference engine, remains without any damage! (It happened to me once). Please, if you think this post is irrelevant, delete it. Thank you for your time. The Syncro Heresy

[@davids2542]

Thanks for this video. My Saturday is gone, but I still have $1000 in my pocket. For some reason my kit was missing those 2 big o-rings for pump/hose connection. Ran to 4 stores with no luck. The old ones looked really good though, so hopefully no leak in a future. Thanks again for taking time and making this video

[@motorcarnut]

Great! Glad to hear its fixed. I know the local auto parts or dealers never have what you. But you are probably fine if it's not leaking when you put it back together it won't leak.

Great video! Just wanted to point out that there's a bracket supporting the intake manifold to the engine block. Keep up the fantastic work, and thanks for sharing your expertise!

Just did this job, without having to take the intake manifold off. This video was very helpful, however and it's a great tutorial. I was able to save time and not disturb the fuel system, by taking the air box out, along with the throttle body, intake manifold bracket and turbo intercooler pipe rubber. My water pump had plastic break off at the seal and the gasket itself had bowed.

[@motorcarnut]

this is one of the best videos Ive ever seen. and im not just talking about VW videos.

[@motorcarnut]

Thank you! Really appreciate the comment!

[@jackc244]

its easier to put the injectors in the head first, then put the manifold on. the injector seals should all be replaced also but some people have had success without changing them. Nice job either way

[@motorcarnut]

Whichever way gets it done and saves money, and thanks for the feedback!

[@andrehmj]

I was going to say the same thing (since that what the manuals in Elsawin prescribe) but how do you access the connectors for the injectors? It looks like the cable assembly is one part with the intake manifold, so these connectors are inaccessible once the intake manifold is on. 2nd question: Shouldn't the belt be replaced as well?

[@kevkev7164]

Thanks! While this video didn't have the aluminum bracket under the manifold, it was very good. You saved my daughter $1800 and it was possible in larger part because of the video. One recommendation: i took out the large hose (about a 7" section) under the manifold in order to cleanly reinstall the manifold.

[@kimboofdzners9574]

If it is not damaged, leave it alone. Rarely rarely they go bad, have opened plenty of ea888 engines w 200k miles and more, never the water pump belt was in bad shape. It is difficult! As it is reverse thread and if I recall uses a 12mm, but if for whatever reason you strip that bolt, you will NEVER be able to replace the balance shafts (IF they need to be serviced), unless you pull the transmission out and access the bolt from the freeze plug. I highly recommend don't mess with the belt unless it is a must and like I said it is reverse thread.

Nice video, I just watched it 3 times and ordered the parts. Should I replace the fuel injectors and how can I do a carbon cleaning since I'm already taking everything apart? I just subscribed and liked! Lastly, I will be doing brakes (pads and rotors) all the way around on my TSI 2.0L I'LL TIP ONCE I COMPLETE it! THANK YOU!!!

[@motorcarnut]

Thank you for the sub and comment, much appreciated! If the fuel injectors were fine before I wouldn’t change them, they rarely go bad, as for the carbon cleaning, I always take the head off. There are a couple of ways to do it but not really that effective. Walnut blasting is the best way but requires special equipment. You could try to clean it with some carb cleaner and a pick but some carbon will fall into the cylinders so be careful. These engine do build up a lot of carbon however.

I replaced the water pump with an aluminum one and leaks from hose connectors and temp sensor started to develop, my assumptions is that aluminum swells and contracts with heat and cold that crushes o-rings and deforms the plastic connectors. Finally decided the best fix is to replace the aluminum one with a plastic one after replacing both upper and lower hoses and developing leaks again.

[@motorcarnut]

I never had problems with the aluminum ones, but keep me updated on the new plastic water pump.

[@JPDC1991]

[@freddiebaez9751]

great video and tutorial. I don't know the anatomy of these vehicles at all so i paid a euro guy to swap a motor and within a week I'm noticing coolant getting low. sure enough it's from the area near the water pump and he's not wanting to repair. using your process I got it well until the point was yanking it out. got separation for about 2 inches then its stuck solid. Won't come out or back in. Like I'm missing a bolt or something in the middle. I removed the throttle body hose because it felt like the hang up might be there. is there a possible bracket or something different added to a 2011 CC? Either way than you so much for the process! It would have taken me 3 times as long to get to this point. My next step is to start removing throttle body and brackets just to be able to see better.

[@motorcarnut]

Thank you! They are pretty different engine and this video wouldn’t help you much. The FSI engine has a timing belt not chain like the TSI engine also the water pump is completely different as it is driven by the timing belt. If you have access to a library online you can look up the procedure for free. I haven’t had one of those for a long time and believe you need a cam tool as well so might be better to change timing belt with water pump.

[@MysteryScienceGaming]

@@motorcarnut Just got the manifold back on! Hey you made a comment that I'm sure I'm taking too literal but I gotta double check after all this work. You said after I put the injector manifold back on and the injectors are seated that it shouldn't wiggle. Well, mine wiggles some if I wiggle it but the injectors resist being pulled out so it feels like it is seated. I definitely do not want to continue if it is not seated right. I haven't put any bolts in to secure it but you mentioned how those little pieces of place on the injectors line up with the opening. Should it not wiggle at all, even without any mounting bolts back in? I even got a picture lol squeeze my phone down there

[@motorcarnut]

What I mean is the injectors have to be at a certain angle so they go into the head without hitting the sides of the head where the slots are. Once they are seated properly push the manifold with both hands towards the head to make sure the manifold gasket is even all around and touching all four cylinder ports. If one injector is hanging up the manifold won’t be fully seated and will wiggle or rock from side to side. This is all before you put the screws in. Hope that makes sense

Did u have to replace the gaskets in the injectors?

Not if they weren’t leaking, I do but if you don’t want to then it’s fine

[@arlyle8393]

Hello thank you for this Amazing video , Im having a hard time to find the o rings for the hoses?!?! Is there any part number ?

[@motorcarnut]

I think they come with the hoses but you can bring the old one to the auto parts store and I’m sure they can match one up for you. I have a whole set that I use so they should have what you need.

[@jalenbrown949]

More than likely they are on the new water pump !!

[@adamxu778]

Nice Video！ What about the bracket under the manifold? Do you need to take it out first before taking the manifold? If yes, by hand or using tool？

[@motorcarnut]

Good question! Yes it has to come off first. The nut that goes to the underside of the throttle body is a 13 mm and the one to the block is a triple square but not sure of the size.

[@bigercat]

I cant seem to get my manifold to come out but im not sure what bracket you guys are talking about

[@motorcarnut]

It’s aluminum about 6 inches and connects from the bottom of the throttle body to the block. If for some reason your car doesn’t have it ( missing) the manifold needs some pressure to pull it out because the fuel injectors are pressed in a little

Hey brother, I have always been wanting to ask but I always forget. As far as the injectors when pulling the intake off. Is it really required to reseal the injectors if they don’t stay in the cylinder head?

No, they rarely go bad unless they are obviously damaged

Hey friends! It’s me again with another question 😂 So I have a 2012 Volkswagen CC currently that has a weird issue. So I have no heat in the car and it’s overheating to 110C at idle with ambient temperature of 32F. It seems to just overheat to 111C (checked coolant temp with OBDeleven scanner) but it doesn’t pass from there it seems. The precious owner of the vehicle thought it could of been a head gasket issue and added gasket leak repair additive to the coolant. Which the coolant looks like it had orange sparkling flakes inside. I flushed the coolant with distilled water as much as possible but I still believe there is still nasty old coolant with that additive around the heater core. Should my next steps be to flush the heater core and maybe get a water pump/thermostat?

[@motorcarnut]

I would back flush the heater core and the radiator first and replace expansion tank cap. And report back with results

[@ivanvega2821]

@@motorcarnut well brother… the issue was the coolant cap. I replaced it because el noticed it was just to loose when it should be tight. Now the car doesn’t overheat and the heat is warm but not where it should be. I will be flushing the heater core on the CTAA. Any recommendations on how the flush the coolant system properly? Any additives you recommend…. Should the car be at warm temp. As always…… you are the best brother!!!!!!!

[@motorcarnut]

Great bro! Thank you! Really appreciate it! Car should be cold not to burn yourself. Take the 2 heater core hoses off the engine not the firewall. It’s tight back there but can be done. Try about 8 oz of this stuff: www.homedepot.com/p/CLR-1-Gal-Calcium-Lime-and-Rust-Remover-CL4-P/202530301 Blow out the coolant in the hear core with compressed air carefully then add the cleaner let stand for 15 minutes then back flush with hose water both ways. Then refill system. Heat will be hot again

[@ivanvega2821]

@@motorcarnut just flushed the heater core. Wow… the amounts of slushy brown goodness that came out of it was concerning. I don’t see how it was working properly whatsoever. On a different issue, the car on idle tends to have a strong vibration that shakes the cabin. I’m thinking it could be trans and engine motor mounts considering it has 136k. Any suggestions to diagnose the issue? Thanks for everything!

@ivanvega2821 the engine shouldn’t shake that bad to begin with, but yes make sure the mounts are not ripped or twisted.

Can you help out one more time ! How do you get the belt off ? I found the Right wrench, a 12mm on reversed threads but the sprocket keep turning, is there a trick to it or another tool needed? Thanks again

[@motorcarnut]

You talking about the belt on the water pump? It just slides off when all the bolts are out of the water pump.

[@rasmussvedin1778]

I did this job on a Skoda Octavia Cdaa engine and om that you had to loosen the sprocket on the balance shaft (?) to get the water pump belt on. It is reversed threads yes, and you have to hold the crankshaft so the sprocket doesnt turn.

[@rasmussvedin1778]

My belt had broke, thats why I didnt realize that you had to take the sprocket off until it was time to put the new belt on..

PLEASE TELL ME HOW DO YOU REPLACE WATER PUMP DRIVE BELT

Same as in water pump replacement. The belt goes on when installing water pump

[@kimboofdzners9574]

​@@motorcarnutJesus! The belt has a reverse thread bolt, and uses if I remember a 12mm or 13mm close wrench. It is a pain to remove if the bolt is very tight, do not strip it! I made a custom socket, cut it half to make it shorter and where the rachet side I made to flat slanted surfaces to fit an open wrench. This way it is a mini shorty socket (better grip) than a close wrench. I use an open wrench and place where the two flat sides made on the modified socket and that's how I was able to take the bolt out. (Remember reverse thread)

[@gloglogo2638]

My car is at the dealer now to have my water pump replaced. I just wanted to see all they had to take apart to get to it. I'm really nervous now because there is so much to undo and take apart. These guys are so young and the dealer has a reputation for not securing things like they were originally. Once they mess something up - you can't really prove it wasn't that way from the start. My car has 70,000 miles on it and it's covered under warranty (extended warranty). That was like pulling teeth to get them to admit it was covered because (supposedly) they can't 'speak' on it.
