This video breathes "competent violence." Like the guy knows what he's doing, he's not doing anything wrong, but it just feels... rough.

Haha, had the same reaction. The way they laid that bead of sealants though, you could tell they know what they’re doing.

I have a 2014 vw Tiguan I have to replace mine at the moment wish you were in NC

hi, i have a3 8v 2017 ea888 mqb gen 3. looks very similar to mine. does this affect timing in any way ? i notice you didnt release tension on the chain. can i just pop off the cover like you did and it wont affect the chain or timing in any way ? thank you

Will this cause oil to get onto the spark plugs and for to misfire?

This channel is awesome deserves way more subscriber's

Thank you that means a lot. Share the channel if you know anyone that it could help out.

is this the same procedure for the 2017 passat 1.8t ? i think i need to do mine showing a lil moist around the valve cover

How long it took to replace the valve cover?

👍👍👍

Nice narration comments! Also, that tech appears to be working crazy fast. How much faster is he than the book time for this job? Like 3x faster? Just curious.

What kind of grit or name if that yellow pad used to clean the cradle/valve cover??

it's an adhesive remover pad. They're not abbrasive to the metal, and some are even for paint use without scratching the body.

Do you have to remove the engine mount bracket? Also, did you put cylinder 1 in TDC?

You do not have to do either of these things.

How much does this usually range from due to the part and labor?

Did you have to drain the oil first

You do not have to drain the oil to do the valve cover reseal.

It will piss out a bit from the dipstick tube due to how the oil level works.

How do you keep the cams and timing in check?

Yes I was wondering the same thing, I am about to have to do this all for my girlfriends car. The Mechanics said it’s a 8-10 hour job and quoted just under $5k for it, but this guy made it look way too easy to take that long (which I do know that’s because he has spent hours, days, months and years of his life building up his expertise but still I know when a mechanic is trying to pull a fast one). Wonder how long it should actually take? Hopefully he can throw us a reply, never the less he gained a follow from me 100%

Yes I am wondering this, it doesn’t seem like the cams or timing is touched at all.

I would just mark the chain and cans with a paint pen . I know it’s not the “correct” procedure but I’ve done hundreds of these and as long as you leave the chain and cam bracket alone the timing won’t move

@@GremcoGarage thanks for the insight. I’ve done the piston soak but the resealing has me a little spooked. I’m a diesel mechanic by trade and this little 4 cylinder has me shaking lol.

Do you have to have #1 tdc or just remove the cover and be careful not to bump the cams or sprockets.

Sorry don't you have to hold or lock the camshafts with special tools

No

What did you set the digital torq to bolt the valve cover? What's the nm or lbs? Did you need something under the car to hold the engine due to the engine braket removal?

Yo why so fast 😂
