My timing belt service is over due by about 20k miles due to this video not existing before. 😂🎉🎉 Thank you 🙏 for existing

LOVE THE STEP BY STEP AND FULLY DETAILED VIDEOS. U GUYS REALLY MAKE EVERYTHING LOOK SO EASY THERFORE I SEE THAT BOOSTING A LOT OF PEOPLE'S CONFIDENCE TO TAKE ON JOBS THAT THEY NORMALLY WOULD NOT. GREAT JOB KEEP THEM COMING GENTLEMEN. LOL

So knowledgeable and you can tell this guy really cares.

Bro...THANK YOU MY GOOD PERSON. Just completed the job today, FLAWLESS.

One of the best instructional videos on youtube.

200k mile cambelt change complete. This is the second time I did this cambelt on my 07 GTi and I found this video much better than the scraps of information I could get 5 years ago. Thanks! What I will say is mistakes of the past did come back to haunt me. I over torqued my top idler and the thread fell out. I also used a defective bolt with a poor thread. So this year was spent reading furious internet debate about timesert Vs keensert Vs helicoil. I opted for helicoil as access was limited and I wanted to remove as little metal as possible for the new insert. Fingers crossed it holds for this application.

You are very concise and easy to follow, much appreciated 😊👍🏼

Brilliant tutorial but now you gotta do the cam chain and tensioner 😊

Nice video... Mike's on top of things as always. Good presentation.

Great video. Best out there. It’s great he mentioned each torque spec.

This video was outstanding. Thank you so much for your step by step process it made a big difference. Great host, and editing. Fun to follow along.

Head gasket replacement video would be very much appreciated working on replacing one shortly

Damn this was a lot simpler than I thought it would be omg. I was scared to do this until watching this. And I’ve done timing on Hondas plenty of times, this looks very straight forward and simple. Good job on Volkswagen, and good job on you for demonstrating

Perfect timing fcp. Installing this exact kit the day after this vid posted👍🏼

Thank you for the video! Very helpful! I'm shocked you said this could be done in 4 hours. It took me 10 hours!

Outstanding instructional video. Mike is a great instructor 🎉

This will/has saved me money, man! THANKS for your well illustrated demonstration of what I thought was going to be a challenge. Ya'll shop mechanics better watch out - tutorials such as this will most likely decrease your work load and pay earnings due to self made repairs being performed.

I like you even show what tools you need

Best how to video ever created!

Bro is a pro 🔥🫡

Excellent video very good mechanic

Thank you for the step by step instructions.

Good one! On my BWA early 2008 mk5 gti I had no looking hole for the rear bolt of the engine mount :( but apart from that: video helped me big time! thanks!

excellent video just got mine done...with FCP Euro parts

Amazing video guys thank you so much!

I cant help but notice the belt wasn’t completely straight when rotating it 😮 30:34

Would love to see a timing belt replacement on a 2015 VW Golf TDI.... would also like to see more TDIs service videos....

this video is so excellent i decided to subscribe to your channel. great job.👍👍

does this engine have a normal oil consumption or not ? thanks

I need a timing chain version of this video!

Great detailed video. How about doing a Mk5 with chains (tsi/ccta) .

Great job well explained. Thank you. I just subscribed.

This was an absolutely awesome video. I love the attention to detail and explanation you used. You really made this look easy enough for anybody to do. You gained a new viewer today ! Please keep making videos like this.

Man, I got about 2lbs on the timing belt tensioner before the threads ripped right off the nut fucking up the stud threads. Also recived 1 different tensioner in my kit and only one of the idler pulleys (not the kit used in the video) . Nothing goes smooth ever and thats fine.

Could you guys do a front upper and lower control arm replacement video on a Porsche panorama

Very nice video.

The kit includes to seals - camshaft and crankshaft....the video does not show these being changed. And DYI for this available?

This is awesome video thanks again fcpeuro

Well done

Phase do more for the mk5 GTI FSI BPY

Does the charge pipe clip orientation affect how well the hose is clamped? Because I noticed you put it with a different orientation 42:10 compared to when the retainer clips were removed 7:35 .

Can you guys do a mkv gti clutch next please

Important information would be labor time

all top engine mount bolts need additional +90 deg right?

The pipe next to the timing belt cover on my GTI (2006 JAPAN spec) is made of steel and cannot be moved as shown in the video (13 min 24 sec). Could you please tell me how to remove this pipe or how to remove the timing belt cover? The cover is one piece type.　My best regards

Mk6 next 😅

is it the exact same thing on a edition 30?

Seems like if you are going to cover this should mention the fuel pump follower.

Why didn't use the angular torque after the first portion? The ones with 20, 40 and 60nm had a plus 90 degrees after.

How many hours labor????

Didn't show how to set the cam belt tensioner correctly

Please do a video on the cam cradle reseal with the green sealant nobody has made a video on it it’s always videos on the valve cover and never the cradle that holds the cams in place but mine is leaking bad I need a tutorial otherwise my vw dealer wants $600 for the job

I took the 2 bolts out of the dog one mount and now after finishing, the engine holes do not align. How can I fix this?

Does anyone know the easiest way to siphon old fuel out of this same make and model? MK5 GTI 2.0 FSI? TIA! 🙏🏻🤙🏻

What would cause a new water pump to fail and leak out of the weep hole?

Dang, I don't have that access hole in my wheel well. This project just came to a halt ):

May I pick your brain please FCP Euro? I have a 2015 BMW X5 X Drive 35i, twin turbo Inline 6 cyl. 3.0 AWD, I'm trying to help my mechanic out by asking other professionals such as yourselves. About 3 weeks ago I was driving when a message on my dash came over that said "Engine running to hot, Drive moderately" turns out it was a few things wrong with it. I had him replace the coolant pump, and thermostat. But its still running hot. The mechanic noticed that the coolant fan isn't turning on at idle. He can turn it on with his computer, and it will run with the AC on but at idle it wont come on by itself. He thought it was a censor, he replaced it. He thinks it a electrical problem somewhere. Can you guys please give me an idea where I can tell him to look? I've asked elsewhere but all I get is trolls saying "That's what I get for buying a BMW." etc. I got the vehicle for my job as I am self employed and I have been out of work for 3 weeks now. I really need help here please. Any advice would greatly be appreciated. Thank you.

So helpful, great video! thanks, like and follow from me

🎉❤😊

No f/n way someone can do this at home.

Was going to buy this car but I'll just buy one with a chain, ridiculous.

Hi Mike. Awesome video. The most professional, clear and thorough of any such videos I've seen. Quick question as engines vary from continent to continent. Is the part kit also valid for a MK5 GTI?
