Awesome video! Great explanation highlighting all the key steps. Thank you for posting!

Duuuude!!! This video just saved me a BUTTLOAD of money!! That specialty tool kit is still pretty expensive though, but still a lot better than the amount that I would have spent for a mechanic or the dealership to do it. Thank you so much for uploading this!!

Good vid. Much better than the ones with guys dong the job with the engine on a table/stand. Also, just FYI for anyone, you can rent the tools pretty cheaply for a week or longer from online VW tool rentals. Oh, and from my experience as VW tech and on my own, just replace the water pump while you are in there.

Excellent tutorial! Appreciate that you also included the price of the specialty tools required.

This gave me a lot more hope than the DAP and Humble mech vids. Love those guys but this was more to the point and direct not to mention more inclusive. Thanks for the vid.

I actually really trust Humble with his 2.0 timing replacement with the engine he used. After I watched that video, I searched for the manual, looking under the hood of my car many times, and understood how engines more comfortably moves. also, check out my comment up top, instead--too! You may need to see "newest first". Happy fixing!

I suppose it'd be fair to say the videos had different aims but I feel like his was also positioned as a how-to and it was problematically incomplete.

@@streezyrider121 I agree with what you mean. I think when I first watched it carefully and then a second time I encouraged myself to continue to do more digging. I began watching engine tear-downs and build-ups, also watching Donut Media for small doses of a variety of information. I also got into watching a professional race-mechanic's teardown and build-up of a toyota V6 (1000 Hrspwr?) engine. That was cool. All this searching helped me, for sure! Especially when it comes to missing information, which can happen all the time! : )

Really wish I would have seen this before I started doing my timing this last weekend.. The write-ups and other videos I have found are missing a lot of little bits and pieces of info here and there that I didn't find out about until I was deep into the job and you just showed all of what I found out myself in an 8 minutes video.. Great video, Thanks for the help cause at least it reassures me that I've done good up to this point lol.

Super helpful man

Nice job!

The bridge can be removed regardless of tensioner being in or not. The water pump is powered by the balance shaft, you're supposed to rotate the balance shaft 8 times, by the 8th rotation it should land in it's default resting position, if you fail to time it this way then the engine will have balance issues and will run poorly

Correction:The water pump shaft is also a balance shaft and needs to be timed with the idler gear before applying the chain otherwise the engine will not be balanced. There are two dots on the back gear of the idler that must be aligned with the counter rotating balance shaft which has the yellow mark.

The Intake side camshaft is reverse thread, same goes for the water pump gear bolt. removing the engine mount from the block is a pitta, no space at all in two of the three bolts.

Thanks for the informative video! Quick question. I have a customer with the ear broken off on the very top where the white plastic guide goes on. Is that part of housing or head?

Hi @Tombair8128 Thanks for the excellent video. I have a question for you: when you remove the timing chain, and remove the cam nuts on the top two cam sprockets, are these two sprockets able to rotate freely about 5 degrees? It looks like the sprocket is locked into position by the nut and that it has this restricted play so that you can align it for timing. If you get this, please reply. My girlfriend and I are looking at a costly repair.

Tnx

Very nice video. There is one think i need to ask. Why you didn't change the oil pump chain ?

Ну хотя бы 250 тысяч км было бы. Но 100 тысяч, ну это же мука, фольксваген, не ожидал такой подставы

Do you need a special tool to remove the tensioners? You need to release the tension from behind the cover by pushing the guide?

It's necesary chance chain in a GLI 2015? Or only un 2012 ir lowest modelos? My tensioner are in the seven slot.

awesome vid man!! how many miles did the vdub have when u did this job?

My chain fits on my cams aligned with the marks but on the sprocket ⚙️ it is a tooth off

The linked products are the same ones you used? Or similar ones? They are much cheaper ($64 and $89) than the video mentioned.

Can you send me the details of cam marks, on cam shaft. As we are getting problem i

Is the process similar for the 2016 VW Jetta GLI with the 3rd gen EA888? (With different hardware).

I also why the water pump wasn't changed while in there?

The intake balance shaft has it's marks as well, otherwise the motor will vibrate.

Hi, great video! Question... I just had someone change my timing chain on my 2013 Tiguan and it seems to run ok with out throwing any code but there is a vibration that you feel when giving the car gas and when idling the car has a vibration that you can see looking at my cell phone mount. I seems to have power, but I cant figure out the problem and the shop that did the work is not getting back to me. Thanks in advance!

@MichaelDrowley

Did you ever figure this out? It’s probably balance shaft on the intake side (see the one in the video at 5:48 with the yellow line/mark) not correctly timed. It actually looks to be timed incorrectly in the video as well. 5:48 in the video the shaft with the yellow line/mark on it needs to be have the tiny dot under the upper yellow mark pointing downwards to meet 2 small dots on the inner balance shaft gear. My car’s intake balance shaft was mistimed. I only found out when I did the major timing chain service myself recently. Only noticed weird vibrations at idle and high rpm.

wow I have a 2008 passat 2.o 140k id like to do the work,,skip the fees your thoughts.

I might have a similar issue, the loud whining noise only comes a couple of minutes after the engine reached working temperature. And it's only during idle, reving the engine makes the noise go away (until back at idle). I had one guy take a quick look and according to him, the chain was digging into the plastic guide rails, and that was what was making the noise, not sure if that's true or not.

what size bit you used for the triple square fastener on the motor mount bracket?
