Thanks for the detailed video. Truth be told, my wife's Polo Maxx that is basically the CLS Vivo motor over-heated last week. The welsh plug on the head rusted through. You saved my bacon in this video by showing me how to find TDC on the crank. Keep it up, will support and promote your vids. Well done!!

@@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790 Itching for some videos. I love your attention to detail as well as your patience sharing tips. I'm still studying engineering n I'm building my toolbox. Started with a gedore set with tons of other goodies maybe a tool review will be another awesome video. I think my next order will be some timing tools. Maybe a video on safety like jacking a car and types of jack stands will also be another good addition.....keep these videos separate for more frequent but enjoyable activities.....maybe a nice personal project as well

Even though I am a very amatuer mechanic ( brake pads, shocks etc, minor stuff type of guy ) I feel confident that should I ever need to tackle a head gasket job this is the only video out of the 1000s on KZbin that I would refer to. Quick question though if you have the time : do you think it is possible to remove a timing belt without the specific timing tool ? I heard of guys who cut the belt down the middle and use that to keep the timing in place while putting the new belt on. I am very sceptical though. Anyway you have given me the confidence with your videos to tackle more harder jobs and next time a clutch or something big goes wrong I am going to take the chance as your videos inspire me. I know you obviously dont make money with these vids so thank you for your time and effort.

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Thanks for supporting my channel with your visits and interaction Declan, I truly appreciate it tremendously and I am very happy you find value in it. , as to your question, there is a right and wrong way of doing things, with limited experience it is better to take the more reputable person's advice, if special tools were designed to complete a job, make use of it as it was designed for a purpose. Do it right or don't do it at all.

[@drevil8519]

Not gonna help you cutting the belt cause you still need to remove the head, meaning the cam pully will come off when you remove the head.

[@abdussamed107]

you could have made a wet compression test by dripping a couple of drops of engine oil onto the cylinders to see if compression improves. this way you could eliminate the cylinderrings and cylinders which due to the oil are now sealing better.

How do you lock the crank not to turn anti clock wise to loosen the crank bolt?

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

You Have to use the crank locking pin to loosen the crank bolt in the opposite direction before you dismantle the timing chain system, it is usually the 1st thing one does on this job.

[@petermthembu272]

Hi thanks for the videos. Your content is flawless. Im actually driving the same car 2014 model. Im curious as to how this happened, the car should give a warning when the coolant is too low, or when the temperature rises up too high. What went wrong?

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Thanks for the support Peter, it was caused by a careless driver, not keeping an eye on the instrument panel while driving.

[@jamarcohull2671]

Good evening... I'm looking for some advice I'm driving a golf 5 2.0 FSI .... My fan is constantly running, the coolant is circulating as it should with no visible leaking, but the car tends to run hot... I replaced both coolant sensors and did a coolant flush, for some time it ran well, but today it started running hot again...

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

You may have to replace the thermostat, Jamarco

[@shimeemgamieldien9396]

I need to replace the heater breather adapter under the intake manifold of this specific type of car. How diffi2is it to remove the intake manifold?

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Hi Shimeem, it is a fairly easy task, 6 bolts with size 30 Torx heads is all it takes to remove and it is easily accessed, you do have to remove the injector rail and disconnect all pipes and electrical connections too, but this is also very straightforward. Good luck Gary

[@Bionichealer]

Nice video, Keep it up… I have a question though, on my mk1 citi golf I have a leaking brake proportioning valve or as some might call it a brake equalising valve that sits close to the rear passenger side wheel. Are those serviceable or do I just have to buy a new one? Thanks

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Hi Tyrall, thanks for supporting my channel with your visit, yes it is serviceable although acquiring a new one may be the same price as repairing your existing one.

[@Bionichealer]

@@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790 thanks so much for the reply, problem is I can’t find one, I’ve checked by Goldwagen and many other spares shops but to no avail. Looks like servicing it is my only other option for now. Thanks for your advice and keep those videos coming

I am very busy booked up for weeks.

[@RickyFleven]

Hi Siboniso, did you get the heat gauge issue sorted & how?

[@sibonisomtshali6880]

@@RickyFleven hi brother, I was still losing water and the gauge would come on. Although the thermo gauge doesn't go over 90 Deg. Coz I removed the thermostat in the housing, to monitor the cause. I have been driving with no Thermostat, although I bought a new Thermo housing ready to install it. My mechanic suggested I wait a bit before installing. Until a friend suggested that I clean my radiator as well, he discovered that the pipes didn't have a constant temperature. Hence the return pipe was overflowing my water bottle. Water wasn't circulating to the radiator. Ever since I removed and cleaned the radiator , I have not lost water. Just dropped the level, but it's been there only 2day I topped it up with the Coolant

[@Recharge2594]

Hi I have same car 1.4 I have water in my oil but car did not overheated it drives fine it starts fine I can ride it it not building pressure in water tank not smoking what can the cause be of my fualt

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

The oil cooler has a leak, therefore oil in the cooling system, if it was a blown gasket it would be water in the oil.

The Oil Cooler seems to have packed up, therefore, the oil in the water instead of when a cylinder head blows the water gets in the oil, hope that answers your question Chris, thanks for supporting my channel. GARY

[@wazirsgroup7754]

Hi Gary, my VW Polo Sedan 2005 is leaking water at the bottom of engine. I added water to the coolant and it juts flows out completely and instantly. Could this be a water pipe at the back of the engine or a gasket or a sealant. I am no mechanic but have two exact same VW POlo's and would be good to learn things about ese cars

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

You do not indicate what type of engine is in this Polo, but my guess is a water pump or pipe running from the water pump to the flange on the rear of the cylinder head.
