Was that cheaper than sourcing a new engine? Incredible job at such a low mileage. What driver would neglect a belt change , if that is what they did. You have enormous patience and experience. Top mechanic good to see nowadays.
Hi Baz, It's unreal that you can strip down the front end in as little as 20 mins. Doing that really did give you a huge amount of room. Have to say, that was an amazing build! Your knowledge and skillset is bloody amazing. Keep up the good work, and keep the content coming 👍👍
@@PTRsTransport all these vehicles now are designed that the front ends come off easily, which makes these kid of jobs easy, Audi have a similar design to replace the timing belt it's called a service position
I have a Magik test I do on any engine I get deep involved with - I give it to a son to drive for a bit. If anything is going to break, they'll break it. If it doesn't break, I can pass it on to a customer with confidence. I call it Son Diagnostics.
Very good that 👌 not many garages will take this job on perfer to have small jobs and easy ones I had a leon 2.0tdi 2010 what 1 camshaft spun too it only had 105k on clock
Good job, I think for the time it would have taken, I would have recut the valve seats, I just happen to be best mates with the local engine guy in my town, so it would have been a quick job if it was mine
These engines are the best part of £8k for a recon if I remember rightly. I've done one very similar to this and it still worked out cheaper to repair the original engine
@sammytheseal2307 fair play - looks a mammoth task to the untrained eye. I wouldn't fancy a bill for the rebuild or replacement, but it's bloody good to see this done, especially as it's all in-house
If you want the pump to last fit a genuine VW , the aftermarket kits are using cheaper and cheaper parts from the white box no name suppliers with a fortune cookie to tell you it will fail soon.
timing belt needs change ==> also new waterpump and rollers and tensioner, 'no that's too expensive; ===> waterpump getting stuck ===>timingbelt fails ===> very very very big bill trying to repair the engine. Remember the pistons were hitting the valves so the rodbearings and crankshaft bearings have suffered too
wow once again if they designed a engine if the timing belt fails then no valves hit would be better cars are just a money bank with all their sensors ECM etc how is joe blogs meant to pay for the repairs the labour charges are terrible watched a your tuber diagnosics charge 2hours up front at £94 per hour
Superb video Baz, you have to be very patient and methodical when doing engine rebuilds, just like you emphasise in your commentary. Doubling checking and referencing as you go. I suspect very few main dealers have anyone who could do this kind of work and it would be outsourced unbeknown to the customer! Your garage is a little gem, and it is no wonder you are stowed out with work. You genuinely enjoy your work which is also a rarity these days 👍😎
