Just a quick note and update - spent the last week and successfully completed my Tiguans 2010 timing chain , guides, and updated tensioner. Tensioner was at seven ( 7 ) notches extended - wow 😮. The engine is now so quiet now - specially at initial crank. The new tensioner is at two ( 2 ) notches. Thank you guys so much for your help - please keep us home mechanics in mind - limited tools etc

Appreciate all your feedback will definitely keep that in mind

I’ve just replaced my tensioner with the updated version and now I’m currently working on getting the cam gears in time on my 2012 GTI, this video is a great little reminder of some of the other steps involved

Wow you smoked that timing chain install. Super quick!

@@GremcoGarage Hi - now retired - but I help myself and family on the following vehicles: 2011 F150 FX4 ( 5.0 ), 2010 Tiguan, 2010 Mazda 3 ( 2.5 non turbo ) 2016 Elantra GT, 2012 Roque, 2021 F150 ( 2.7 ) - my background is electrical / instrumentation - not a mechanic but always up for a challenge. Future work is on the Roque - Christmas tree lights on the dash - ABS, Traction Control, and Air Bag ; looked at the codes thrown - I think - clockspring - everything resets nicely - but drive off and rotate the steering wheel by 20 degrees - bingo - all lights back.. Then the Elantra transmission fluid change. The usual tire rotation for winter along with oil changes - I preach 3000 Km - noticed the smell of raw gas especially the turbo vehicles if pushed to 5 - 6000 Kim’s. I would like to see more on suspension linkages and bushings - I see my family avoiding replacing these parts on the basis - they look okay from here - LOL 😂 Cheers

glad i remembered that these are the same as mk6 gti's timing wise, very helpful video!

This is by no means an easy job. Especially in a 100 degree garage, especially on an Audi with the engine mounted the other way. I spent 3 days of blood, sweat, and tears but managed in the end, for only $400 in parts and tools. Great vid.

LOL did it on my 2004 RS6 had to take out the engine lucky you

well done and fast!!

Mint video. One thing that's usually called for is to let the crank seal in the new timing cover bond with the shaft on the crank pulley for 4 hours before the first crank to avoid future leaks, same as that lower timing cover sealant (24 hours at least for full seal to the block)

At 40 seconds you do something with the belt tensioner that allows it to come out and out of the way but because you went to the front of the engine our view was obscured so couldn't see how you did it. Was it a nut or bolt you removed? Working on a golf 2.0 tsi Thanks

What was the spring in the cam bridge. I just did this job and didn't notice it. Should i pull it and check?

Doing this job right now, kinda stuck with getting the chain off all the way. I got it off the exhaust camshaft, but it's caught up on the intake side. Any tips? Yours seemed to just jump right out at you

I usually remove the pulley and turbo muffler . I have never loosened that 5mm. Im gonna have to try it 👍 also just so u kno if you find the torn screen , there is a tech tip to also replace the intake camshaft. More tenths for you

ARGH HELP @gremcogarage Great tips dude. , My gause is missing in the cam bridge . I can't see it anywhere any ideas on where to look? could it have made its way to the sump? otherwise I ll just need to reassemble and hope for the best argh help.

Currently in the process of chaining timing chains/guides and tensioner. I ran into a weird problem (for me at least). I put the vehicle at TDC (with verified cylinder 1 in the up stroke and 4 o’clock triangle and slit on crank pulley). Unfortunately, my exhaust cam and intake came will not line up with the 65mm and 125mm overall as specified by Volkswagen. Both my cams are at 1 o’clock roughly. I have rotated the crank pulley multiple times to see if maybe I could finally line the cams up. No luck. Vehicle has a p0016 and has the old tensioner prone to failing, which it has due to how easy it is to push in. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!

@GremcoGarage

Have you already put the new chain on ? If not the car has already jumped a tooth as verified by the p0016 . At this point I would just disassemble the chain and use the copper links on the new chain to set the timing marks correctly

@@GremcoGarage I am in the process of taking off old chains and tensioners but before that. My understanding was that the vehicle has to be at TDC and the cams have to be at the 11oclock exhaust side and 1 o’clock intake side. My cams will not line up like that. Does this mean I have to take off valve cover and manually adjust the cams to be at that position?
