►FCP Euro knows that Audi and VW enthusiasts demand a higher level of performance when it comes to their vehicles. This is why we are constantly designing kits that are jam-packed with the highest quality OEM Audi parts and OEM VW parts for a complete and effective upgrade of your vehicle. This particular Audi / VW timing belt kit is designed with all OEM quality parts and supports proper timing and combustion within your engine.
Remember that Mk4 VW's have what is known as an interference engine, meaning that a snapped or loosened belt will ultimately result in a broken engine. This timing belt kit includes not only a Contitech timing belt as well as the components that ensure its functionality such as OEM tensioners and rollers by NTN and INA, and all the seals you need to complete the job. Replacing your timing system components is recommended at about every 85,000 miles to avoid potentially serious engine troubles, and this Mk4 timing belt kit provides you with a complete and convenient solution. All of our VW Mk4 parts are backed by the FCP Euro quality and fitment guarantee, as well as a one year warranty that you can trust for the life of your vehicle.
Follow along as Jay Van Gorden, our VW catalog manager, walks you through the process of replacing your timing components. From replacing the timing belt, to the tensioners, to the water pump - we've got you covered.

Huge thanks Jay and FCP Euro! You gave me the information and confidence I needed to complete a timing service on my 20th AE. A few things for other viewers... - 19mm on the crank bolt instead of 21mm - I replaced my motor mount, serpentine belt, thermostat, and housing (170k on the original parts) - The Motor Mount Bracket is a pain to get in and out. Be patient and adjust the height of the engine up and down to squeak it by. - The Hydraulic Tensioner also is a pain to install. Again, breath and be patient - The timing belt covers are surprisingly difficult to reinstall as well.

Just one note, on the accessory belt tensioner, when you're reinstalling the belt, you can slide a pin in that to hold it open while you're installing the new belt and aligning it, so you're not sitting there trying to hold tension on it with a tool while trying to work with the belt at the same time. Excellent video. Thanks!

Just finished this install on my car - this video was very, very helpful, so thank you FCP team! Few things from my install: - My crank bolt was a 19mm 12-point socket, not a 21mm, so appears this bolt size may vary between the 1.8T's. Just a heads up for anyone else tackling this job. My car was an '05 GTI w/ engine code AWP, not sure that matters, but noting it. - The crank pulley bolts were also a 6mm allen, so different than noted in the vid. - For removing the engine mount bracket, I could not for the life of my get it removed or installed from the top of the car, ended up dropping it down and re-installing from underneath. Hope this may help others in the future!

@gordonmerrick697 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for this video, it was priceless while we replaced the water pump on my son's 2004 1.8L GTI. We watched other videos, but found this one to be the most informative. As new VW owners, we had never heard of FCP Euro, so this was a nice discovery for us also. We saved a ton of money on parts vs the local auto parts store - who never has anything in stock and has to special order everything we need anyway, and then charge us more. In the video, the pump that Jay removes looks brand new. In our case the impeller was in pieces and we could have used some advice on what to do in that case - with plastic bits circulating in your engine - in the end, we just re-assembled and are hoping for the best. Would love to see a camera view of a look inside the block. If not a probe snaking into the engine:o) then just a glimpse inside. For example, when you remove the pump, you can see the thermostat just inside. I'm wondering if there's anything worth noting when you look at that. Also, we struggled a bit when trying to get the plastic timing belt cover back on. I get a kick out of the other videos that just end with "now just reassemble everything in the reverse order". Not the case here - we could have used a separate video on just how to re-install a timing cover. Also, the lower timing belt cover had been bent at some point so we struggled a bit trying to re-install that (though not sure any video would help solve stupid). We appreciated the rest of the step-by-step reassembly instructions that Jay provided, complete with torque specs.

On a four stroke engine, then engine needs to be rotated 4 times to make the marks line up again. 4 turns of the crank equals 1 full revolution of the engine.

Excellent video tutorial, Jay. Plan to use your video as a guide when I replace the belts & coolant pump on my Mk4 Jetta (2.0L, AVH engine) tomorrow. I noticed that you torque the 18mm engine mount bolt to 100 Nm -- much higher than the 60 Nm specd in the repair manual. Is the 100 Nm an updated spec or an error?

@DIA-qm5zt Жыл бұрын

Just a guess: the difference may be to compensate for the "plus 1/4 turn" specd in the repair manual? [16mm bolt spec in the manual is 40 Nm "plus 1/4 turn"]

Any thoughts on the debate?

@@adamkorekach9936 - Exactly what we just experienced! When we pulled the pump we found two halves of the plastic impeller lying just inside the block, but when we put the halves together, it was clear that two small pieces were missing, one maybe as large as 1cm squared. No idea where it is, but clearly large enough to block a hose somewhere. All we can do is hope it wasn't one large piece, but a few smaller ones.
