I love your videos. So interesting to see these old TSI's

I'm a VW tech, been ages since I did one of these, nice little refresher before I go in today, cheers

Really nice video, great job with clear and easy explanation

Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to make and share it.

Nicely done, clear and concise, thanks for sharing.

Just awesome vloggs, i learn so much from them. Thank's!!!

MERCI beaucoup pour votre vidéo, grâce a vous j'ai réussit a remplacer la chaine de distribution de mon yeti cbzb heureusement car la chaine avait sauter une dent et fonctionnait encore... merci encore ...

The latest chain design for this engine, that replaces the faulty previous ones is labaled with a letter "G". If any of you is planning on doing this, make sure you get a complete kit (timing chain,cam sprocket,crack sprocket,oil pump sprocket,chain guides,bolts etc). Make sure it's the letter "G". If you don't get the "G" kit, you're just replacing the old crap with new crap and you will have the same issues. The "G" kit has a wider, beefier chain and wider sprockets as well.

Very helpful this video. First time for me doin this specific engine and I’ve already striped all water hoses from one side 😱 At least now I know I don’t have to next time. Thanks.

Also, i have to say that these chains don't stretch because of lack of maintenance but because of faulty design. My chain was replaced under warranty on the very first oil change. Now after 65000km and even with annual oil changes, the famous "death rattle" appeared. Right on when i was expecting it, based on the feedback of many owners. It's like VW designed them to fail. They think i'm going to just give them almost 1000 euros to replaced it. Joke's on them. Thanks to your and other's istructions i'll do it myself. Looks simple enough.

Thanks ! Great movie , really helpful

Thanks a lot! I've been able to pull this job of on my own thanks to this video! Very inexperienced DIY'er

Very informative thanks a lot great video, I'm a mobile mechanic doing one tomorrow, it's nice how you haven't got to strip the entire side of the engine looking forward to it now

Very nice, good job bro

NIcee job and nice video !!!

Great video, thank you.

Best timing chain video I have seen, very easy to understand, btw can you please share the make or part number of the camshaft counter hold tool please

Am a technician my self, replaced the complete timing chain kit inc oil pump chain and sprockets and i have a rattle on cold start which lasts around 2seconds and than disappear s everytime, it been like 2years done nearly 20k miles and i drive like a madman since job done and still does it lasts 2sec and disappears, as long as you get oil pressure to the tensioner within second u should be ok leave it idle for couple mins and you should be fine. this is from my xp.

Hey thanks for the video. Quick question do i need the locking pins to remove just the crank pully? Or is it just the holding tool required?

thanks for the video, im planning to do it myself as the chain is pretty loose and probably jumped as its now showing different error codes and rattling ,i was wondering i always heard to change water pump in the same time , is it true for my polo 1.2 tsi 2011 ( exactly same engine as the video ) what are you using to clean (flush) the parts and wich sealant to build it back up . happy to see mechanics in Australia sharing tips, im in sydney , as it would cost a fortune otherwise. will follow you from now on . Cheers

Hi. Where can you get such a counter holder for tightening the camshaft sprocket? ty

Did you change the crankshaft sprocket? You mention the new chain doesn't fit original sprockets, however you seemingly just placed it over the original (11:10 in video)? I have a 2011 Polo 1.2tsi with 120k km and planning to change the still factory chain kit from older (first design) to newest and the upgrade kit comes with new crankshaft sprocket. Thanks in advance!

Hi mate wondering for abit of advise. I'm getting my timing chain done did you get the oil pump chain with the timing kit or is that separate. Also I have a slight leak that side what seals and gaskets did you replace/ should I get replaced when doing this job. Thanks

Any trick on how to check if the camshaft gears (vanos) are damaged or worn? I keep getting code P0011 & P0341 after changing sensors, oil control valves, magnetic adjusters & checking the wiring on my mk7 gti chh engine

Very good video👍 . Plz! What is the size of the socket /bolt for the crankshaft?Its a 12 edges.

Please what torque you used to tighten oil pump sprocket? I found 14nm+90°

ive got a VW Beetle 1.2TSI from 2016. When accelerating i get this ratteling noice from the engine bay. could this issue have something to do with the timing chain aswell? it has done 125.000km

Looks simple enough. Not sure if I want to do this myself in a cold garage while crawling under the car. Timing chain kit and tools together cost 150€ which is not a lot.

What is the tightening torque of oil pump gear wheel ? Thank You!

Hey mate. Nice job. I’m about to tackle my wife’s car. Question about the crank sprocket. I noticed it’s not keyed. Any tips on how to make sure the timing is spot on? Cheers.

Can I check? Is this the same 1.2tsi that's in an 11 plate Golf? Having to replace a HG and this would be great if it's the same engine!

...what size of Nut-Inserts do I need for the Timing-Chain cover fixing bolts?

You said the oil pump chain was loose. Can this also generate a noise when the engine is a little warm after a drive?

Great video thanks 🙏

how much torque needs the tensor chain?

Does anyone know the torque spec for the oil pump sprocket bolt? Can't seem to find that anywhere.

Isn't it necessary to also change a main crankshaft wheel?

Hi.i have a skoda rapid space back with a 1.2 this engine has 98k miles on it mine sounds fine they said I won't have to change it ilbut I don't belive that what's your thoughts on this engine and wen to change the timing chain is this a non interference engine ?

Thanks a lot for sharing. I've got a rattling noise from my mk6 golf 1.2 tsi as well , usually when I turn on the engine , then the noise goes away, and the car feels like normal. Do you reckon it could be something to do with the timing chain ? Appreciate any feedback. Thanks

Hi, I’ve followed this video and replaced the chain. When checking the timing the engine turns fine but the timing isn’t 100%. When it hits the crank bolt the cam locking tool is very slightly off and I can’t get the screw in. Does this need correcting or will it be okay? Anyone know?

Fantastic video, have it on the workbench as another reference while doing my timing chain. I have a Skoda Yeti 1.2 TSI 2010 and the tensioner that is currently on the vehicle is the larger one with the ridge on the spring loaded shaft. Skoda supplied me with a timing kit, the chain and tensioner in this kit are the other variants to what is currently on the vehicle, the kit came with new sprockets and gear as well. You say in the video to make sure the chain and tensioner are the right variant but if Skoda are suppling me with the other variant would it be right in thinking it is an upgrade to the current parts? They ordered the kit using my cars registration so surely it will be fine??

Does anyone know how many Nm is the valve cover tightened? (I'm asking for Seat Leon 1.2 105HP , CBZB)

Thnx bro

is this the same engine as the 1.2 tsi vw golf 85ps?

Love your channel.... I have a well maintained q7 with 3.6...110k miles...should i do chains as a preventative measure...?

Any locations on Florida??? I have problems on jetta 1.8 tsi

Hi. I have 1.2 TSI bmt. Can i use 1.4 TSI BMT camshaft on my engine. I mean is it bolt on? And if its possible, make any difference?

Hello, this is a great video. I have a SEAT Ibiza 2014 1.2TSI CBZB 4 Door. I am trying to mimic this procedure on the same engine. I just have one question and would be grateful for any general advice. Before you insert the timing tool in the sump there is a small bracket on the back held on by the Allan bolt and one other small bolt, which I noticed you removed before bottoming out the bolt against the crank. Does that small bracket on the back definitely need to come off, as I have seen other videos where people have changed the chain without removing it. As it’s my first time doing this I am concerned that surely if I make a mistake at this crucial stage the damage may cost a small fortune. Thanks in advance

Thank you for sharing this. Very informative indeed. A quick question if you dont mind. My polo has this engine now at 136000km and I'll be doing a timing chain replacement. Is it a good idea to get a new oil pump or just the oil pump chain?

Is therr another way to block and stabilze le crankshaft without the specified tools?? thanks in advance

Is this the Enginecode "CBZA" ?

Looking at buying one of these should I stay away from the 1.2lt due to the timing chain issues ?

What happens if it already skipped a tooth not.starting

Bonjour excusez moi de vous déranger, Un moteur tsi 1.2 w on peut le montrer sur tfsi 1.2 audi a1 ? Cordialement

why don't you change the crankshaft sprocket too?

Какое название динамитрического ключа?

snap-on best i have the same torq Lumper dondt forget every 4 yeras give back to calibrite

Is it normal for a new chain to make a noise on first start up when cold for just a few seconds and then clear

❤

Is it not necessary to remove/change the water pump during this procedure ?

👍

any idea where to get the timing tool set he has?

Where can I get the timing replacement kit ? The actual kit that'll help me block the timing before removing the chain it self ?

how many kilometers?

How the heck do these things stretch. I mean it's a quadra?Plex chain and it's only turning a camshaft.

❤🎉😊

From your experience, what would you tell someone who never did this alone by himself, and who now want's to do it ?

how long did this whole process take?

Normaly you change the pinon from crankshaft too because since of wear

How many hours would this job take ? Thanks

Mate what’s the torque setting for the balance shaft tensioner. Thanks 🙏

Great video. Wonder if you’ve done a 1.4 CAXA? Video I mean😉

My wife's Skoda has the same engine and rattle on start up which has become worse just in the last couple of days despite me changing the oil every 6k!! Her engine started to have hesitations during acceleration, could this be because of the stretched chain?

which oil is best for that engine, 0w30 or 5w30

this the same as a 2011 Volkswagen Polo 1.2 tsi ?

Can you share the brand of torque meter? :)

where are you guys based ?

A bit of rattle on startup is fine guys.

Km?

so shitly motor!!!!.....the chain always lengthens!!!!!! ..every 50 k km!!!!!
