VW Jetta TDI engine timing belt replacement, see video desc for more details

See www.myturbodiesel.com/wiki/bew... for the full DIY TDI engine timing belt repalcement replacement procedure. This video is for the BEW engine only, other pumpe duse engines are similar. Warning: earlier and later generation engines are different!

Best timing video ever, thanks for such amazing skills and sharing your knowledge with us may God bless you sir....

Instablaster...

[@DesertRatLife]

Thanks for taking the time to make this. Im about to do this for my 2005 tdi and it nice to see all the little details you add. i feel more ready for the job.

[@vdub7090]

How'd it go?

[@fizaraja2205]

One of the best detailed video 👍 what more can you expect from a top class video

[@wkl747]

You are very good illustrator; I learn and enjoy your video. Thank you for sharing.

[@suffolkadam]

man you have just saved my ass . taking the pin out aint what is specified by vw but hell yeah a lot easier...many thanks

[@reecemanifold1252]

absolutely brill video, I was really struggling with the tensioner, seems easy to put on but i count wrap my head on how it worked. it has a large spring inside the tensioner that didn't seem to do anything, the instructions said it was an automatic tensioner (this means to me that the spring applies the pressure on the belt ) in reality it is a manual tensioner that has an indicator. the secret spring only moves the tension indicator to tell YOU were and when to manually tighten the stud bolt that the hole tensioner sits on. masive help chers Reece

[@sat_sonic]

Reece Manifold - totally agreed! That tensioner is so tricky that it took us like 20 mins just to figure out that you need to counter hold (manually) in place then tighten. This video saved the day!

[@CB-fv4vv]

Tensioner can be released and retained into position using specific tooling. According to VAG procedure the camshaft sprocket does not need to be removed.

[@Liamautomechanic]

good video. there a easy belt to change.I did one there a few weeks back. handy to work on.

[@mariskrasts2334]

very good illustration, thank you so much

[@sunnshine9965]

what attachement did you use on the ratchet to go in the wholes of the tensioner to turn it?

[@DjToxicCandy]

This is the best tutorial out there 👍

[@alireza071]

On Tdc What position are the camshaft lobe on cilinder 1 are they point up like a V and the camshaft front notch witch the hub connect on it right on the top?

[@joemorris22]

why would you remove the camshaft gear when the belt tensioner is spring loaded. its so much easier to remove and install using the pin in the belt tensioner. fine timing adjustment is likely to be required using this method which is only possible with VCDS.

[@brantwinter]

Do you have a similar video for the VW AXR 1.9tdi engine in a 2006 Polo?

[@TheKeithuk]

Another good video Chitty, the forum has gone crap since you sold it, the TDI Wiki link doesn't work now

[@gerrys6265]

Thank you so much...priceless video!

[@buddytom867]

Have you ever changed the m8 m10 tensioner thread on these engines

[@stephencovrig8373]

You guys are legend!

[@myturbodieseld0tcom]

Use only for SOHC PD era TDI engines. That's around 2004-2006. See my site for other years.

[@Njabuloaka2020]

Thanks for the information, please can you confirm for 1.9TDI 2008 model whether its the same as above?

[@martianweed089]

Is it left or right?the hole?

[@sara78130]

thanks men well done nice vdo

[@rafczo1982]

thanks

[@123456786558]

can the timing affect the performance of a vehicle.

[@lakewhiting9586]

Yes, very much so, but it won't just fix every engine problem. Bad timing can cause poor fuel efficiency, throttle response, and cause problems like cylinder misfires (at least in non-diesel engines).

[@user-cr5rh9vl4c]

especialy on this type of engine!Injectors wont work properly if timing is wrong!

[@marcelltheron]

What happens if you turn the motor over at the camshaft?

[@jakejoyce5555]

If you’re turning it over at the camshaft turn counter clockwise. I wouldn’t turn it over at the camshaft unless you plan on replacing your tensioner as it puts extra stress on it.

[@mohammedhouari4888]

my car start hardly in the morning and get a white smoke with low performance on road all that can be refered to belt?

[@aqib2000]

Torsion value not fine turned

[@cygnus1965]

How many miles/kms? It’s probably a bad cam.

[@sunshinebloo]

what are the torque specs?

[@TarifKhan-jx7hh]

Nice

[@shaunborg9149]

It was on the site, but when i checked today the page is not loading.......

[@andybeezyIX]

Would this be essentially the same for the BHW?

[@amorag59]

yes

[@bugz7149]

Which engine code? AJM, AUY?

[@brandonneil8954]

Bew

[@martinw6104]

Any thoughts on this? I've just done the timing belt, engine looks same as this one, and now van wont start. Turns over normal, but doesn't fire. Seems like it's not getting diesel. I Locked the crank and cam as shown. Please help :(

[@bendude6748]

Did you sort this out? having the same issue with a 1.9 TDI Jetta, timing marks all line up and turns over but wont fire up.

[@rudidudi]

taking the cam locking pin out is really bad advice

[@TrueBlueEG8]

No it isnt, as long as it goes back in before you tension the belt it wont be a problem. I have done hundreds of them like this.

[@ralphmctell5210]

@@TrueBlueEG8 yes it is a bad idea - why do you think the locking tool exists. He didn't need to remove the cam pulley either. belt would have slid off easily at the water pump at this point.

[@ralphmctell5210]

@imgone you stfu dh

[@AMan-nx3gk]

These aren’t the nicest of belts to do, the tensioner having a lip on it makes getting the belt on difficult

[@calibrio1]

vip

[@prince-qo1oz]

use branded camera

[@RingZero]

Next time try to position the camera in a way it's not annoying for the viewers🙏🏽

[@shanekneeshaw3483]

That's some sloppy workmanship really not sure if telling people to remove the cam pin out half way through the job

[@Cargaooversized]

Useless video, most important this guy does not mention. Timing marks !!!!!

[@cliveyoung3619]

or torque values on anything other than the water pump.

[@Dave-kd7fo]

Very bad advice to removed cam comletely. NEVER EVER do this!!!

[@cygnus1965]

Dude if your cam is shot it needs to Be removed to replace it. I’m doing mine right now. I took the engine apart without the locking tools as you really don’t need them to disassemble and replace the cam. I did buy them and am using to reinstall the timing belt since I want to be exact the first time. I could have done it without them though. Just have to watch the marks.

[@vytasbraziunas3158]

Horor...bad job..👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
