VW Transporter T6 2.0TDI - Timing belt and water pump replacement DIY? This is how...

[@willemspaumer888]

This is what is called professionalism. Great video man.

[@JB-de5cp]

I love it when you describe the process in detail, I would like to know better how you determine belt tension better.

[@jeroenwalravens6040]

If i'm correct the crankshaft bearing is an PTFE bearing and should NOT be oiled but needs to be placed on dry surface.... they will leak again... but good job anyways on the timing belt and taking the time to replace the bearing. I would change the crankshaft pulley aswell since i've had some who were worn out causing motormanagement issues and hard starts. Also needed to remove the sump to put on bearing but i know its much more time consuming.

This is a perfect mechanic for a vw repair video ...... Great video, thanks for the info.

Great video, really nice to see someone who wants it to be right👍👍

As far as I know the torque spec for the lug bolts are (unlike passenger cars) 180 Nms.

[@robertcochrane717]

most of that bead of silicon you put on would have been pushed inwards and will eventually end up in the oil pump good video very informative

[@CA-ho7kl]

I’ve done loads of these and undo the fuel pump sprocket nut too as per manual. I fit the idler before the belt but I know that it’s probably a trait you’ve continued from the earlier Vw Diesel engines where yeah it makes it easier to fit the belt without the idler in place, not so much on these but nice work

[@petemechanic8249]

Never slackened the pulleys on these ever. Easy enough to do without. When you put the cambelt on pull all your tension around the waterpump and fuel pump. Easiest one you will ever do

That was superb to watch. I've just had my crank seal replaced by the main dealer and a big long life service just before it. I'd asked them to explain the part the were replacing or at least take a photo or video clip (they manage to show you a clip of the fluid levels and spend an age with a tyre gauge, everything I can do myself, but nothing more!). I've found your channel by chance and I've immediately followed you and liked this ...double thumbs up from me. I really appreciate the simple tips that you have blatantly learnt from doing this over and again - like the orientation of taking off bits of trim or the direction to push or pull a clip and the Nm torque settings. Last quick question - when swapping the fuel filter to 'prime' do you just add some diesel from a can into the filter before reconnecting, or is there another neat way to do it? Thank you again - just superb... and if your company is anywhere near me I'll be using you instead of the main dealer!

[@davem4131]

If you want to just change the crank pulley do you need to lock off the cam? I would not think so if it’s just those 4 bolts

[@Pro-Ebike]

Hi there. What's the procedure for coolant bleeding after replacing the timing belt ? Thanks

[@tomasambrozevicius4840]

Crankshaft seal should be fitted when sump is off, because if you don't then u will get the same leak after next 30-40k, which is wrong, the Crankshaft seal should last much longer than that... But still it's a nice video, thanks mate

[@Danidasanic]

great video man ! I have a 1.6 tdi EA288 engine and I already replaced 2 times that crankshaft seal , i know that they are prone to fail but I don't get it why . Based on the lip deformation , it looks like the crank shaft isn't centered . I replaced the 2 main seals and clutch last April , the gearbox side was good and dry but I did it anyway , yesterday I saw that the belt side is already starting to leak again , always from the lip\shaft . Can the crankshaft be off balance and only leaking on one side ? I can see a little of deviation\wobling on the v-belt pulley when running at idle .. could a bad sprocket or v-belt pulley throw the shaft a little bit off balance and wreck the seal ? the seal isn't lasting more than 4 or 5000 km , I already used oem and aftermarket seal (elring one)

[@Yaroslav_1_9]

when replacing do you remove the engine pan or do you do as shown in the video?

[@Danidasanic]

@@Yaroslav_1_9 you should remove the oil sump if you want to replace the oil seal for this EA288 engines . If you just want to do the timing belt , you don't need to remove it

Hi guys, I have a T5.1 2,0TDI 2014 engine..replaced the timing belt everything looks fine but when i put the crankshaft locking tool in place.. the locking pin for the camshaft wont go in. aprroxemetly 1 mm out of the middle. is this oke ? the locking pin for the HD pomp goes in smoothly. what do you think. its not a tooth off. impossible.

Hey, nice video! I want to ask if you need to replace the bolts with a torque+degree rating like 70NM+90° ? Like the accessory belt tensioner? In the original volkswagen shop manual it says that you need the replace every bolt which has a degree rating ??? I wonder if anyone is doing that because it would be pretty expensive on bigger jobs.... Thanks for help ;)

[@danielmendonca4150]

Yes , you should change any bolt with a angle torque rating , i did this job on my car and replaced every bolt . Was 13 in total (if i recall correctly) . The sump was removed because thats what vw say to do when changing this oil seal

[@danielmendonca4150]

@Smithy18 many bolts on a mk7 are one time use and there are some exceptions too , the transmission shaft flange bolts have only a torque rating and they are one time use
