Hi you know what I did and other one yesterday and I did it with out removing the intake I still removed the front clip but this time I removed the radiator support but I left the a/c condenser and rad in to place and there is a power steering cooler pipe bolted on the rad support you just unbolt it on both side and just slip it under the rad and A/C system it worked real nice the rad was supported by the aluminum skid plate this car was a convertible but on a regular beetle you would prob. Need to support it so it doesn't hang too much on the hoses and fan wiring. I have a video on it I haven't posted it yet.

+V10PDTDI hey dude i got a car i need to bring you for engine replacement 2003 jetta turbo. i think 2l. anyways send me a text message 9880306 you know the area code both in same province im in moncton

V10PDTDI how can I contact you. I need someone to take a look at my RS3 transmission.

yes you can drop the a/c and the alternator. much easier than doing this tear down.

Hi I have lot's of interesting car videos but I not too good at edit and compressing files and uploading videos and some laziness I guess :)

New beetle front clip removal

I just found this channel too! I was going to ask the same thing!

@@V10PDTDI I was hoping to see more on the 2.0l tdi engines! Like problems, maintenance costs etc. I was looking to buy a 2012-2013 Golf tdi. Any thoughts?

Rithius3485 hi if you are talking a US or Canadian specs car the i suggest to buy one that had the TDI emissions recall done because if you buy one with fault code and the recall not done you have to pay for all the problems before the emissions recall as far as the engine they seem to be very good but the maintenance has to be followed precisely concerning the proper oil specs and fuel filter replacements one more thing you have to make absolutely make sure that no gasoline is ever put into the fuel tank because the common rail fuel pump will be damage and all metal From the pump will contaminate the rest of the fuel system causing very expensive repair.

Tim D Stevens hi both knock sensor are located on the exhaust side of the engine this why you did not see it you can see them from under the car both connectors are located on the end of the cylinder head near the oil filler cap if I remember right one is green and the other is gray.

Do you have a picture where they are located...? a video , NO one has any knock sensor replacement videos, I have been looking for days for just a video even looking at this Bentley Book is useless, it says G61 and G66 but it doesn't say where they go or where they are located, 2009 VW Rabbit 2.5L 5 cyl engine.

Tim D Stevens here is a picture I found it’s under the aluminum heat shied under the exhaust manifold i.imgsafe.org/dc/dc5c4b62e4.jpeg

How easy is it to get that off and what socket or torx is needed to remove the knock sensor bolts...?

Tim D Stevens they are not very hard to replace if I remember right it’s one m8 bolt per sensor with a 13 MM head on it I think that I saw a technical bulletin and they recommended replacing both of them and they need to be torque to between 15 to 18 lbs it’s very important.

wrath letherride sorry but they are not that hard to remove just use a long extension with a ratchet if I remember there is only 2 of them.

This is VW/Audi bro , the engineers are meth smokers and flunked out of middle school , what did you expect ? For it to be a normal job like 90% of other vehicles ? 😂😂

lar4305 Hi can you tell me how you do a thermostats on a New beetle with the 5 cylinder engine because there is no room in the front compared to a MK5 or 6 Jetta or golf etc.

Take the engine strut rod out on the bottom rear of the engine. Then you can rock the engine back and pull the intake out.

lar4305 next time I will try it thanks.

Jay Con actually most cars are.
