Most welcome

@@SkillfulMan Good video I’m going to do the same on a 1.4 polo. Do you have any advice for this? Also any advice on doing a head gasket on the same car ?

@@kashjay5103 just for the crankshaft pulley removal , you need either impact tool or locking tool, the rest is easy

you welcome, thanks for watching

Same mate I’ve been looking everywhere for something like this as I’m going down the DIY route.

Thanks!

Yes sure, even when the cam is locked in place and the crankshaft on the right point , there is a possibility that access belt length be placed between the cam pulley to crank shaft pulley , and if this is the case you may have bad timing that can cause engine run bad, or does not turn on at all, so when you mark the pulleys , you need to ensure the same numbers of tooth is between the pulleys , if is not you can twist the crankshaft very little so you match the length, the other fact is over time the belt extended very little in length and when you put a new belt you may mess up the time by length of a teeth , so it wise to mark the pulleys and make sure right number of tooth is in between

@@SkillfulMan ah, that makes perfect sense. Thank you so much for your reply.

you most welcome

No, I used 12 PT socket type , but for the bolt you need to have either impact wrench, or locking tool if you want to loose it by hand

Yes the method is pretty much the same, and yes is better to change all if timing belt is over half its life time.

@@SkillfulMan Ok tanks

Thanks for watching

Thank you 😇

The crankshaft doesn't lock , it will stay in it place, but it can be turned around

Thank you 🙏

To be honest, I can't give you any advice, because I can't diagnose without seeing it.

Hi, the tensioner is the threaded part

you need to remove the tensioner first,

@@SkillfulMan ok, do you recomend specific tools? I need to know what size i need for my crankshaft pulley removal, and what size hex is needed to undo the tensioners?

You need a good socket set including Allen key , impact wrench for cam pulley or locking tool for cam if you are planning to open it with hand tool

Thanks for watching 😇

you should be good at engineering , for me is a supersize that you maintained AN engine at your 14 ,

@@SkillfulMan Learning so I can go riding was far more incentive then learning at school. Love the lathe mods using practically household products(vs full machine shop) can't wait to see more.

I think the engine is same, for the parts 100-150 depends on brands you can buy the parts from eurocarparts.com, labour 200 to 400 pounds .

@@SkillfulMan thanks for your response man that's very helpful.

Hi, is right hand tread , clock wise turn getteing tight

How tight did you do up the crank shaft bolt???

I didn't pay attention to that, is it important?

No , I don't even remember the engine size 😇

Thanks for watching

not sure , I didn't pay attention to the engine code

Yes , VW golf known for the good engine،

Yes, i have the exact same engine in my Polo from 2010. 235k kilometer and still going strong!

Hi , the only thing that can cause this ,is timing belt, did you mark the new belt tooth on the exact spot, and place it back on the right exact point, also if you removed your spark plugs check the wiring , and the fitting too

all the parts is about 140 pounds

You can buy kits for replacing the timing belt. comes with water pump, belts, tensioners, and certain bolts that the factory specs as 'one time use'.. You're supposed to replace them.

Thanks for the sub!

I'm aware that most similar engines have additional pulley, but this one does not, I just replaced what was in there 😇

@@SkillfulMan for me i think if the water pump pulley was broken like that it's because of the supposedly missing pulley but it's just my 2 cents

@@cuzz26740 Newer versions of this engine didn't have that small pulley.

hi, I personally would not be able to do it due to my job , but If you are on west london, a friend of mine is a mobile mechanic, I can introduce him , he may be able to fix your car,

@@SkillfulMan I am in North London will he give me quote for time belt and waterpump

What is your car?
