We show you how to replace the timing belt on a 1.8t Audi TT. While this video was shot on a TT, most of these details would apply to all transverse mounted 1.8t models of this generation. This would include the MK4 GTI 1.8t, MK4 Jetta 1.8t and Beetle 1.8t models.
The timing belt is a part that keeps the top and bottom of your engine turning together. This part requires servicing and has an interval generally ever 100k miles (see owners manual for your model). We advise replacing your timing belt every 80k miles as we have seen original timing belts have issues before the recommended interval. Failing to replace your timing belt will result in damage to your engine.

@bestbuildpc 5 месяцев назад

if u push down it can go easy insted of pulling up.

@MB-xp6yh 4 года назад

One tip when doing this procedure: there are 2 holes on the serpentine belt tensioner (pretty much like on the hydraulic tensioner for the timing belt) and you can stick a small allen key or something similar in between to set the tensioner so that it doesn't push on the belt, so that you can route the serpentine belt back without the need to counterhold it all that time ;)

@pandahz79 3 года назад

Tbh that was probably my second time wrenching on a car. Ran into a snag or two, nothing that a lil bit of team work couldn’t handle. After learning about the timing marks is what really helped. This video taught me how to keep the timing in check. It’s just a pain to work in such a tiny area. Do not be afraid to jack your motor up and down given that you remove the motor mount on the passenger side if I remember correctly. Do what you have to to make space. I used a shop rag on the end of a long pry bar several times to help. I’ve worked on quite a few more cars and even dirt bikes since that vw and I would say this wasn’t all that hard mayb 5 or 6 out of 10 on the pain in the ass scale. I recently just had to replace a torque converting solenoid in the transmission of my 2001 cadlliac Seville sls

@osirisfornever9127 3 года назад

@@pandahz79 that's cool! What do u mean by out of whack? My freind just bought a 1.8t Jetta cheep with the timing belt already removed and motor mount off so I'm trying to make sure that it will be ok if I'm 180% out I've already turned the motor by the crank pulley a few times to make sure theirs no resistance and it went extremely smooth but idk if I'm 180% out and if I am and try to start it would it damage it but I think it work!

@pandahz79 3 года назад

There should definitely be lil markings on the fly wheel and the case of the engine you have to make sure all your timing marks line up before and after you slide the belt on. Can be tricky but just be patient and do your research until you understand what goes on. I’m very sorry as I can’t remember the exact procedure for the Jetta. That was months ago and I have worked on so many engines since then plus I do full time hvac installs so I’m kinda blanking I’m exactly where you need to look on that Jetta

I watched this video, 10x. Finally replaced the TB / WP on 01 Audi TT, first time doing this but it was worth it. It took me 1.5 days as I was extra careful but worth it, learned so much. I struggled with the engine bracket, taking it out & putting back. What I had to do not mentioned in the video: - removed the dog bone underneath - had to loosen the engine mount other side & put two jacks to lift the engine on both side to free up space - matched all 3 for TDC, camshaft marker, crank pulley marker & flywheel marker to be really sure I lined it up correctly & not mess up my timing / valves Most challenging car task I've done but very satisfying when it came out good. Thanks for all the good car DIYs in RU-vid !!!

Really nice video, with no corners cut and great commentary. I've recently bought a 2005 TT with the 225hp, assuming it would be simpler to work on than my B5 S4 which I've had for 15 years. Looks like I was wrong! This makes changing the TB on a 2.7 V6 look easy in comparison. Fortunately the TB on the TT has been done recently, so I can prepare myself mentally for a while before starting. Nothing is easy on either of these cars, but I do love owning and driving them...

@froggy0162 3 года назад

Another fun gotcha is water pump seals are lubricated by the coolant. If you start the engine to check your work before filling it with coolant, you run the risk of destroying your brand new water pump. This can even be a risk if you don’t open a bleed screw to ensure the coolant doesn’t have a air lock in the block around the pump...

@murphystreeter 2 года назад

Great video. I had a Volvo years ago.... basically the same engine except it was a 5 cyl. Then my TT. I did mine the same way except for one step. I'd like to make life easier on all of you. If you do the pump as well, remove all of the BS and leave the motor mount until last. It comes out through the bottom. NOW.....when you reassemble there's one modification you must make. Take a cut off wheel and chop off the stand off on the water pump. It is for one timing cover bolt. That bolt is not necessary. Removing the stand off allows you to reassemble the entire engine minus serpentine. Release the pressure on the tensioner, the wiggle the motor mount up frome below. You'll need to play around to get the engine in the right spot. I'm telling you friends, that motor mount is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to remove. Good luck!!

@madmechanic7641 Месяц назад

Little trick from an old spanner... Before you remove 4 x hex / allen bolts on crank pulley, give them a good tap on end with a metal drift / bar.. The shock often breaks the seal.. This also works if someone has rounded them before.. Good tapping with flat ended drift actually closes the end of the bolt thus gripping better.. : )

Thanks so much for this video, brought me great success! This looks incredibly intimidating at first, but trust me, watch it 4-5 times and it becomes easy as pie. took me a few hours, but it was a success. That engine mount bracket is a real bum though. I found that it is actually easier to drop it down through the engine. And then reinstall it from the top.

@neelmehta100 3 года назад

I just changed my timing belt on my audi S3 8L 225hp. I am not a mechanic and have never done this type of work. As a matter of fact, no technical experience. It took me 12 hours straight with no breaks. I did not even sit down for a minute. Removing the power steering bottle on the S3 with the same engine is necessary. I managed to get the lower bracket off by removing the tensioner pulley and leading it under the engine bay. Of course, it is important to paint on the belt before removing it. But with that, it came of very easily (had to jack the engine up a bit). After the bracket was removed, I continued the same way. Before putting the new pulley in, I lined up the bracket and the new belt and then I inserted the new pulley. I guess that was a mistake because putting the new belt on was a pain. The rest was straight forward. Don't let the hoses scare you. It really isn't that much. Just somehow looks like a lot on that video. Don't forget to get new bolts for your engine mounts. For the TT and the S3, it is 7 new bolts altogether. For me it was: 2 times - N10209603 2 times - N10516701 1 times - N10328002 2 times - N90712403

Great DIY procedure. I just did this yesterday on my 2001 Audi TT 225 and everything went as expected.

The whole process took about 4-5 hours with a lunch break.

Yep i can get the bracket out. Its getting it back in which i cannot do. The hydraulic tensioner is always in the way. Just wondering if you had to lower the engine significantly to get it back in.

@hungrychowhound11612 4 года назад

I find that with a small amount of gasoline and a couple of matches it solves many problems. Then again.... Paul intresting videos. I did mine this past summer on my 05 gli mk4 1.8t with automatic. The engine mount bracket was to say the lease the mother of all pains in the ass, not to mention getting the thing back in. The car survived my repair so far, and running. Fir the time being. My wife hid my matches from for now. But she did say if it requires a major repair again she'll hand over my matches and we can get this wiener roast going. Again. Nice work.

@marcooconnor 2 года назад

I was going to ask..how did you get it back in? I am completely stuck. Can you remember if you got it in from the bottom or top? Not sure if you need to raise the engine super high or what..

@hungrychowhound11612 2 года назад

@@marcooconnor it wasn't easy to be honest. I got stuck quite a few times try to get it out and back in. Here's the the thing about all these videos on this subject it seems no tells you much less shows you how to do this part of the diy. It may work for you, it sounds lousy it it's the way I got it in. Make sure the belt is on along with the tensioner. I lowered the motor down on the psg side to work the bracket in. Slipped a bolt to hold the bracket on (loosely) raised up a little at a time and fought with it for a while. End result I got it back together. It's been over 2 years since I did it. The car has since been long gone. When it left it was running fine, but there was a basket of things to still do and after that I really didn't want to go through any more stuff with the car. So I went and bought a gti. A 2013... So far so good. It is a difficult job on the mount. Not much room. Raise it lower it and you can only get it through the bottom make sure you use new bolts for the mounts. Can't reuse the old ones, make sure the mount is aligned properly. Good luck.

@DaytonCarCare 4 года назад

Actually it's pretty easy, just take your time. The most import part is getting the timing marks correct and double checking by manually rotating the engine. I find the 1.8T one of the easiest engines to work on. I've completely removed an engine from a mark 1 TT and swapped in a good short block since the original had a blown cylinder. Since it was a FWD model it had the same 06A block as a VW Jetta so finding a replacement was easy and low cost.

You remove the belt with screwdriver (with tensioner still in place) from crank pulley and water pump, a little at a time. Then the bracket can be dropped from below.

My bolts were stripped. How can I remove them when they are in bad bad condition? Should I use T45?

@joshua1608 Год назад

A good trick for hex bolts that are tight, I'd to strick the end of the bit with a hammer and shock the threads. Helps to Crack them loose...

There’s a timing mark on the crank pulley also

Audi a3 1.8 tfsi s line quattro (2014) got chain or timing belt? can't find it in manual

@mrdarho4718 4 года назад

Good job without using VW tools, but please, is it okay to jack the engine on oil sump? I saw some oil is around crankshaft - toothed belt sprocket, is there any oil leak from the sealing flange on the belt pulley side?

@lukecowell7516 2 года назад

What is the marks on the belt for?? Lkke I've done my belt but I just used the timing marks supplied and it's fine

Is there no locking tool for this job

@waifuracer6516 3 года назад

I love using this engine but anytime something goes wrong the parts are super f-king expensive... not to mention the constant sludge build up even with quality vw spec oil changed in 5k intervals... its a ticking time bomb even with the upgraded filter and i always let the turbo cool before switching off and even then it still builds sludge that i can see around the filler cap...

eh what, literally all the parts he used there besides the fancy engine mount, the belts and pulleys with pump and all that around is 200$.

Would this tutorial apply for a Skoda Octavia 1.8t 4x4 (1U facelift) as well?

@avinashclt 3 года назад

The 1.8t 150PS ARX engine on the Octy mk1 4x4 is fundamentally the same engine as shown in this video, so it should be applicable. Things that vary on the 4x4 ARX engine like a different turbo oil line etc shouldn't affect this job.

Does the bracket on the engine that is difficult to remove need to come all the way out? With it loose I think I can get the tensioner and pulley out and new ones installed. Am I missing something?

@scottyALtoys 3 года назад

Great question that I have right now. I am stuck at removing the loose lower mount, and thinking like you that I can move the mount enough to get the tensioner out. Going to try it since I am really struggling with removal of the loose mount.

What happens if the timing belt shaped. How do I make sure it's in the right timming

@srambickan 28 дней назад

Possible to change timing belt without removing water pump? Water pump was chanhed already..

@leejones1515 4 года назад

You forgot the washer behind the tensioner. You can see the belt position is on the inside edge of the cam sprocket. It should be on the outside edge, spaced with the washer. Good vid though.
