I’m Good with my hands and tackled many issues on my van from Alternators , starters,power steering , drive shafts etc etc , I’d love to do this on my mk5 golf I am confident but it’s the timing thing I need to grasp and make sure it’s spot on . Where exactly you mark it on the belt and engine ? Cheers great video

Very nice video. Very well explained , quality and video shoot is the best. Can you tell the which way pulley bolt open . Clock wise or anti clock wise . ✌✌✌

[@ChrisHarmon1]

Changed rings on a smoking Honda 200X(3 wheel) by myself when I was about 12 - 14 though I can't remember exact age. I knew the timing had to be reset or maintained if I took the head and cylinder off so I made 2 alignment marks on the cam gears and the chain then I maintained the timing position on the crank by keeping tension on the chain during cylinder removal and finally zip tied it up tight while I inspected piston and cylinder walls and swapped the rings. Needless to say when it fired back up I was quite pleased with myself considering I didn't have a manual and it was my first 4 stroke operation(had done a 2 stroke previously). It ran well until I traded it later for a CR80.

[@ParsMaker]

you should be good at engineering , for me is a supersize that you maintained AN engine at your 14 ,

[@isakwikstrom3282]

Very good video and thanks for posting, however i have a question. Why would i need to mark the new belt before installing it (13:37), if the belt has the same amount of teeth, wouldnt i just be able to install it however i want?

[@ParsMaker]

@SkillfulMan 1 year ago Yes sure, even when the cam is locked in place and the crankshaft on the right point , there is a possibility that access belt length be placed between the cam pulley to crank shaft pulley , and if this is the case you may have bad timing that can cause engine to run bad, or does not turn on at all, so when you mark the pulleys , you need to ensure the same numbers of tooth is between the pulleys , if is not you can twist the crankshaft very little so you match the length, the other fact is over time the belt extended very little in length and when you put a new belt you may mess up the time by length of a teeth , so it wise to mark the pulleys and make sure right number of tooth is in between

[@billgako5267]

no need to mark the belts my friend...the gears will not moving.....

[@ParsMaker]

Is not about moves, we mark it to ensure the right numbers of teeth being placed between the pullyes😇

the small belt you mount it upside down. the writings that are on the belt should be read normally when you are facing the polished camshafts

[@ParsMaker]

I didn't pay attention to that, is it important?

[@darrylcazabon4577]

Hey, this is a really helpful video. Can I just ask, what is the point of the markings on the cam belt? I understand why it’s important to mark the position of the cam pulleys against the engine block before removing the old belt (so if either of the pullies slip, they can be returned to their previous position) but I don’t understand why the belt needs to be marked? Assuming the cam pullies are in the correct position, does it matter what teeth on the belt align with those on the pulley? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated 😊

[@ParsMaker]

Is this the same work to do on a 2.0 engine. i just bought a VW Golf Variant 2004 2.0 petrol engine. and the vaterpump is bad. So i think insted of only change the Vaterpump i also change the Timing belt Kit

Yes the method is pretty much the same, and yes is better to change all if timing belt is over half its life time.

Hi, when you lock the camshaft with the 8mm, which tensioner do you remove first to remove the big belt, or do you just undo the waterpump?

you need to remove the tensioner first,

@@ParsMaker ok, do you recomend specific tools? I need to know what size i need for my crankshaft pulley removal, and what size hex is needed to undo the tensioners?

You need a good socket set including Allen key , impact wrench for cam pulley or locking tool for cam if you are planning to open it with hand tool

No, I used 12 PT socket type , but for the bolt you need to have either impact wrench, or locking tool if you want to loose it by hand

You can tell it's not a Honda Crank bolt... You would need to call Magilla Gorilla over. To break it free...
