For the alternator, I use to remove the torque from the bolts, turn it about 2 or 3 times and try to hit the bolts, using some tool, to move the slider a little bit, in order of let the alternator move freely or almost freely. Nice video!!!

Great video! I’m gonna use this video to get me started on doing a head gasket job on a friend’s 1.4 TSI in his Jetta. Same as the other commenter, I’m in the states, so I have a little more room.

So i have this locking tool. Im assuming that once i secure it correctly before removing belt the engine will be top dead center and i can then remove the belt + pulleys without anything going wrong? Obviously would still mark the cams as aback up. Really dont want to stick a screwdriver down the cylinder

Great video! What is BTW the easiest way to inspect the timing belt? Removing the top cover or from the bottom?

Very good video the engine is identical to the one on my mk6 Jetta with very few differences, it seems like The Jetta has a little more space tan the Golf. My car is a left hand drive so the master cylinder is located next to the battery, Not a as difficult a job as it looks. Cheers from The United States of America
@EverydayValuedMechanic5 ай бұрын
Thanks for comment, nice to know maybe someday will visit USA and try to work on right hand drive 🙈😅

One question, how do you stop the crank from turning when you need to loosen or tighten the crank pully bolt?
@EverydayValuedMechanic6 ай бұрын
Hi, there is blank bolt on left side of the crankshaft pulley that is facing driveshaft, but it will only stop crankshaft turning clockwise so you can torque crankshaft bolt after installing new belt, regarding loosening bolt you can use power tools. Torque spec for crankshaft bolt is 150nm + 180*

Hi, thanks for this vidéo ! Please Can you show me where to put trolley jack on engine to support it and avoid engine damage please ? Thanks a lot for your answer !
@EverydayValuedMechanic3 ай бұрын
Hi, usually I am not using only trolley jack by it self as it has pointy tips, so best way is put piece of wood between trolley jack and engine and answer to your question is - you position trolley jack as close as possible the sump edge but not over so it doesn't slip off, sump is pretty strong and it will not going to get damaged, as long you are not trying to lift whole car up.

Thank you. What is timing belt change interval for this engine? Is it exactly same procedure for 3 cylinder 1.0 tsi engine?
@EverydayValuedMechanic6 ай бұрын
Hi, from factory they come with longlife belts that could potencially last up to 200k miles or 180 months (15 years) but I always recommend to change them max every 80k miles, yes 1.0tsi is same procedure(could be some slight difference)

Disconnect the negative pole on the battery first. This avoids shocks from sweaty arms touching the chassis or your racket from welding itself to the chassis and setting fire to your car.
