Thanks for the video! Last year I got a 2002 New Beetle GLS 1.8T for $400 with a crashed head from the PO not changing the timing belt. 141k miles, then Wham!. Long story short, I got a reman. head for $500 on eBay and did the install myself. I'd never done such a complex engine job before, but your videos helped me make the decision to pull the trigger. I know you hadn't done this job on your videos before, but just the overall learnin you laid on me gave me the confidence to proceed. Thanks again.

Your one of the best at explaining the process, highlights and tips along the way. I don't own this type of vehicle but I stay for the comments. You never know what's coming. :)

I have learnt lots of stuff from your videos. You perfecally bridge the gap between confusing and unnecessary factory procedures to just getting it done properly.

Great video. I used snap ring pliers with electrical tape on the handle as a "special tool" for the tensioner

Thanks Brian! Your trick to get the new belt on the pulleys was the help I really needed. Runs like a charm!

Keep up the vids Brian, you have very well rounded experience working on many different makes and models and not to mention the tractors, three wheelers and chainsaws. Also your vids are clear and well shot! I have learned much! Thanks

Awesome video very straight to the point and very detailed. I'm a mechanic as well about to do a timing belt on a 03 Beetle 2.0 never done so I'm watching videos to know what to expect beforehand.

took me months to find this; the most helpful timing belt video for this car. cheers

Best video I've seen on this....thank you. I would very much like to see your way of doing the whole job start to finish - thinking what's left out is the basic tear out of the engine to get to the timing belt. I've seen a few different ways so far.

@keithgandy6748

Thank you... you just made life so much easier with your explanation. Everyone says use a zip tie on the camshaft but never explain what why or how. Awesome video!

This is by far the best video to explain what and why of how to do this job right!

Great video, Brian. Good audio, and nice camera work. You're going to spoil us who have to watch videos that are so poorly done.

I did this last night. Was watching a different video, I found that marking the top tooth and the bottom tooth to that peg on the crank pulley, then matching the teeth to the new belt helped a bunch. Also, if you run everything up top, you can easily slide the belt onto the crank pulley. Figured that out after an hour of messing with it
