I’ve done this job by the book with locking tools. It didn’t make sense because you have free wheeling cam shaft pulleys but marks on the pulleys also. Your way here is fine. As long as there is no slack between the pulleys. Did you notice the variable cam pulley is a tri oval design?. Very unusual. It puts tension only when needed for valve opening. Extends belt life. Clever design
Nice video! Im not so worried about getting the locking tools after seeing you do it this way. I have a golf 7 1.0 tsi from 2017 but it has been sitting a long time! So it only has 33,000km.. i will check the belt at ~100,000 km for wear.. what do you think?
This belt can go up to 150000km this one is replaced at around 110000km I don't remember but it was in perfect condition and I have to mention that the vehicle was taxi but after 5 or 10 years you have to replace it regardless of the mileage check your service book everything is written
There is special tool for the camshafts but I don't have so I turn them a little while I was installing timing belt and you can see in the video how they are aligned
Why do you replace the timing belt ? Is there any need ? The 1.0 MPI has no replace regulations. I only have heared you should take care after 250 TKm or 10 Years age.
I am not sure about that no timing belt can last 250000km, max 180000km but there are cracks on timing belt after 100000km depends of driving conditions this vehicle is a taxi and engine works all the time but it's not counting every mileage
Thank you for the reply. Has this replaced timing belt any defects you can see ? Please make some pictures. For CHYA/B Enginge (1.0L MPI-Enginge) the timing belt and the mechanics are designed for lifetime (depending on a knowledge of modern lifetime). The lifetime is actually 250 TKm or 10 Years and you are the first one who has made a change of the timing belt. Please make a deeper documentary and an analysis of the timing belt. Thanks, Dieter
@@mechanicigor Do you think I can do exactly what you do? No problems later ? Actually it's useless to loosen the camshaft sprockets, in the sense that all manuals do it but I don't see the point... what do you think? Sure they are not damaged but the manuals say to loosen them so I don't really understand I'm afraid to break everything haha
This is how not to change a belt! If you don't have the correct tools to lock off both cams and the crank you shouldn't be posting an instructional video as this is not the correct way.
I found this video to be very educational!! Use the timing marks, that's what they are for, yes, locking tools help but your statement 'this is how not change a belt' is arrogant!!! Keep your thoughts to yourself
You need the crank pin and cam locking tool that hooks up to a laptop to see exactly where the cams are and when #1 piston is on TDC you can adjust + or - the inlet and exhaust cams to the correct vw specks 🤓 The way this man has done it is not the best and may come back in with a misfire/running ruff!
