[EP10] Timing Belt & Cam Chain Replacement (Rounded Off Cam Nut) - Golf GTI Mk5 

Nice work never quite as easy as you think. Watching from the Uk enjoying the vids run a 2006 golf gti myself, plan to pull the engine and give it a refresh in a few years.

nice job... same happened to me when attempting to remove that stupid bolt, the teeth just disintegrated. Every one of those cheap ebay cam locking tools has the same issue with the pins bending due to the small weak bolts they use to join them to the main brace (my mate welded my one up so its "fixed" that problem).

Super robota

My timing chain scrapes inside the cover grinds inside and metal pieces are blocking the pick up pipe. Iv took to 5 mechanics and had timing chain re timed and replaced twice. Third time at the mechanics rn i have no hope in someone fixing this. Was fine before i got chain replaced wish i never did it now and just let it snap one day lol

You’re the first person I’ve seen use red thread locker of little tty bolts. Seen blue or without several times. Ever have any problems getting them out or do you hit with heat first or use very minimal?

You use that loctite 518 flange sealant on vacuum pump o-rings too? Never heard of that trick but sounds brilliant!

Excellent video. Those polybolts are absolutely shite. I've taken off 3 with quality tools and I've had to drill them out like you have. I've had to take my new bolt out due to slight mistiming and they're just as shite as old ones lol. Cheers mate

need to do some mods soon!

how awesome to have your engine out of the car.

Great video! One question though. I’ve done the job myself and noticed the the chain has some slack on the bottom. Did you experience the same?

Great work. I've got a 200,000km mk5 gti that I started working on myself and have found this video invaluable. Your idle cleaning up makes me want to do the same for my chain and tensioner. Out of curiosity, where do you generally source parts from? I'm having trouble finding quality parts in Aus and have had to shop around heaps. Cheers.

Great video, would it be possible for you to give us the part numbers you bought?

Do you have the OE number op the cam bolt?

What is the part number for dial guage ?

Nice job ! Can you have all the reference please ?
