I just wanted to thank you for making this video. I changed the timing belt, the tensioner, the water pump and both auxiliary belts today all by myself thanks to this video. I can't thank you enough. Your video saved me $500. It's been an incredibly satisfying experience.

Best Hyundai timing belt install on KZfaq 👍

This video is so detailed, I feel confident in doing my son’s 2008 Spectra. Thanks for the great information and pointers. I really wish my dad were still around so I could have him watch.

This is misleadingly laid back. This is the most thorough timing belt video without skipping parts and without adding unnecessary chatter. It's just right.

Yep, after watching a few others on this change this one is the best filmed and explained video. 👍 Thanks for being professional.

Nice job! I've seen a lot of videos on the Kia and the Hyundai's as far as timing belts go, but no one really explains the whole tensioner and putting the pointer in the window issue. You actually show how it's done. That will help a lot of folks out. Excellent detail and explanation

Excellent tutorial! professional cameraman and an experienced Mechanic. thank you for taking the time to post this.

No runs, no drips, no errors! Good job. Thanks for the videos.

Doing this job in the morning and I'll sleep so much better after finding this. Condensed, complete, and detailed video great job!

Hello Eric O, nice to see you drop in. I love how easy you guys make these jobs look. Thank you for educating us home do it yourself'er. Nice job well done!

WOW... If there was ever a *PERFECT* how-to KZfaq video, well this it it. Thank You!!

Thanks for the great detailed video!! I was able to replace my timing belt with your guidance!

Very helpful for us do-it-yourselfers! Clear and orderly instructions.

Great video ! Clear and concise. I just did this last week and can confirm that paper gasket that sticks to the water pump/block is a pain in the ass! I must not have gotten it all off despite scraping for 45 minutes because it's leaking. Going to redo it and clean it off better and use some RTV this time.

Lots of detail on this video Will and I'm sure will help a lot of folks out there. Good work!!

Best timing belt video ever! Thanks man!

Excellent Video! Thanks Will, I learned from this, very well done.

Great Repair VIDEO! Can't go wrong with Gates.

Great demostration and profesional timing belt service.!!!

This video is quite possibly the absolute best video about changing the water pump and timing belt ....I can not applaud loudly enough!!! Absolutely excellent information. So thorough, so in-depth again, I can not applaud loudly enough. Thank you soooooooooooo much!!!

This is awesome, you made this video as simple as ABC, teeth to teeth thank you so much.

this makes an 87 subaru look easy. I learned the "new" FWD era in 1988 with a 1981 dodge omni. I have never owned one sideways engine with t-belt as a result (I got very angry). You are very patient and professional.

will, the new shop looks great. You been doing this you tube thing long time now. My mechanical skills at home have come along way thanks to you educating us home do it yourself'er. I support you by passing the word forward on your channel brother. Thank you, and I hope your new shop is a success.

Very nice, detailed video, excellent lighting, camera and no annoying music. Top notch!

Excellent !!! ... just the order of things are different than mine ...but all of it ...all the info is there ... Great Work and Thank You for the treat ...You are a very good mecanic !!!...

I'm about to do this on my Accent. Thank you for this video. Certainly daunting when you read about it. Less so after watching this.

Great work Will , One happy customer there I bet ! I started a rering /bearing on a hyundai block in the car at 6AM and had it running and driving at 9PM .. those are pretty easy to work on .. Thumbs up !!

This is a great video, everything was explained well and understandable. Thanks

One of the best timing belt videos I have seen. No offense Eric O!

Excellent video Will, the lighting was really good.

You are truly a professional, I love this video, in to in. Great job sir💯🌹.

Excellent and very professional video and narration, I had bit of chuckle when you left that stay bar out.

such a neat and well maintained vehicles, good job

Nicely done sir! Watching vids like this makes me glad both of my cars have timing chains though. :)

Excellent video, watch all of them.

Yeah, Wow; perfect video on this subject!

Eleven o clock? That’s some dedication for ya!

Good video! Its unusual to see a car in the shop getting maintenance done at a normal time before everything is worn completely out, even had clean coolant and fresh tires! Ha!

Thank you I've had a squealing belt on start up now a slight rattle on acceleration and a ticking on an off no leaks no grind i don't want to wait to repair this is it my water pump this is alot of work

Chrome sockets on the impact, wrong parts from the parts store, customers adding on repairs while your in there, pullin the pump to drain the coolant and a late night at the shop... man after my own heart! Good video sir! Have you seen the belt tension gauges that Gates makes for getting those manual adjusting serpentine belts just right?

fantastic video thank you

Great, great job, thank you!

Great video.You didnt miss explaining anything.Especially that prick of a tensioner.

Nice vid! Had an issue on a nissan patrol. Co-worker broke the idler pulley (extended it too much). After ordering a new one, had the same scenario. Whatever we did the belt was too tight and wont fit in. Turns out there were two lengths of belts for it.

great video. wish I had this video 6 months ago when I last did this job. that tensioner is stupid.

Nice video! I hope the new shop is paying for itself. Shop looks good Will!

Very good video all clear.

Great video thanks

Hi, very helpful video. I changed out the timing belt, water pump and other belts on the weekend for my 2007 Kia Spectra 2.0L. All seemed to go well, but shortly after starting it up, the engine light came on. Took it into Autozone and the machine says it's a "P0016 Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor A)". The car seems to the running normally. After going back over your videos, the only step I missed was rotating the cam two teeth clock-ways after setting the tensioner and rotating the two complete rotations. Could this be the cause of the engine light? What's the procedure to identify the problem and fix it? Thanks

Hello .. Good evening! Great video! Could you hand me the torques for the engine cushion bolts, belt tensioner and bearing support? Thankful!

Good video Thanks Jerry

Good working friend

amazing video

Great video

keep up the good work bud!

Any tips for holding the crank pulley while torquing the crank bolt?

Should you also pressurize the cooling system before installing belt in order to verify that water pump is installed correctly?

Good video

Another great video & repair from Robinson's Auto. :-) That is probably one of the cleanest motors I've seen in a long time. btw, what kind of hose are you using to route the exhaust out of the shop?

Nice job

how can you remove the harmonic balance pulley with out a air wrench ?

thank you so much brother

Great video. Just curious. what does the Gates package cost?

Thank you so much

Does the same apply for a 2006 kia spectra5 2.0 G4GC? Also I think you did an amazing demonstration on this machinery. 🤘

Hi generally how many hours of labor would I expect to pay someone to replace the timing belt and water pump and all the pieces from replacement kit.... on a Hyundai Tiburon 2004 v6? thank you.... great video, you guys are amazing...so many pieces to the job..

Where does that bracket go after the covers?

Can this job be done without an impact gun? Don't own one. Does appear that a torque wrench is necessary though? Nicely done vide.

do u recommend buy dealer kits over autoparts stores?

Thank you for the very detailed video. I have one question. At the 4:32 mark you removed the jack from under the engine and lifted the car up. What is supporting the engine on that side with the mount not there? I thought the engine needed to be supported with the jack during the entire process.

What brand of torque wrench did you use? Thanks

If you choose not to do water pump, do you still have to remove water pump pulley for better access to timing belt?

Looks identical to my 2011 Hyundai i30 engine bay. I'm researching how to change the timing belt, tensioner, idler, water pump, camshaft seal, crankshaft seal, and the other belts down there while I'm at it.

Do you need to remove the timing belt to access the water pump

الله يعطيكم الصحة 👍 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦

very good

Judging by the old timing belt sicker on the cover, the owner of this vehicle must be pretty meticulous on maintenance. Most people don't even realize they have a car with a timing belt unless they have had one in the past that has broken or left them stranded. That Hyundai looks very well kept for a 2009 econobox. Even the old coolant looked clean.

I liked watching the video. Thanks. I have a few questions... as you removed parts you did not seem to talk about inspection of the old parts (water pump, TB idlers, TB tensioner). Were they worn? Also why was the water pump replaced? It was not driven by the timing belt, so not a critical replacement. Is it replaceable without removing timing components? I would have loved to see how to replace the Crank oil seal. Is that not a standard part of this job... since you had it all apart... Why not? This must be a 6 cyl, since I did not see any balance shaft sprockets? Do you recommend using aftermarket parts (Gates kit) for such critical maintenance? Thanks

Do you have to remove timing belt to change water pump?

Is this the same procedure for the 2010 Elantra?

It's 11 o'clock, do you know where your Hyundai is? Another great job Will.

Thanks 🙏

Good video . What brand is your 3/8 dr power ratchet?

Made it look so easy. If you can do it, I can do it :-)

How many miles was on this car and did the water pump that came off the car still seem good thanks!

My 09 Elantra it’s shaking a lot at a stop it giving me a misfired code and also oxygen sensor can the timing belt have anything to do with it ? Need help

That engine was spotless for a 8 year old vehicle. I think i could do that one with a lot of pictures :) Cheers

My water pump is making a weird noise. I thought was the belt and remove then tight again, but still making it. When I push gas noise goes away, when I stop or an idling it make the noise. I used a stetoscope and I hear the noise by the water pump bearing, but the car is not getting hot. Everything is working fine.

What's the recommended timing belt change interval for this vehicle?

Wheres the power steering pump? Dont see it , it would be in the way?

Thank you very much for very detailed and excellent video on changing the timing belt process. I have a gates timing belt on my 2010 hyundai elantra with 63800 miles now and the belt is going to be 6 years old this year. When do i change my timing belt? Should i go according to the mileage or the age of the belt.?And how do i check the timing belt and what should i look for? Thank you in advance for time.

Even if the water pump is not driven by the timing belt you better replace the water pump at the same time cause you will need to remove everything if you just want to replace again the water pump. You need to remove the idler puller to reach one of the water pump bolts and even draining the coolant will make the timing belt all wet.

I followed your instructions to the letter - and it runs perfectly. I used the Gates kit, just like the one you used. The only thing I had a problem with was getting the pointer to stay in the window. I adjusted the tensioner about 8-10 times and it would always shift around. I eventually decided that having the little tab where you insert the 6 mm Allen wrench point straight down gave a pretty consistent correct indicator, but it still shifted around a bit. Maybe this is supposed to adjust for wear? The tensioner seems to be free to rotate a little on its mounting. Other than that, no worries. Great video, I won't ever have to worry about breaking a timing belt again because I'll replace it about every 50 K miles. Thanks for making it easy.

how about a review on that tensioner when you get Mr Robinson!!

Torque spec for this bracket? 7:48

☆☆☆☆☆ 5S !

Getting that pulley back on without the guide key was an absolute pain in the ass

What’s the cost on this job from a honest shop? Give or take?

I always clock the crank back 30 degrees or lock the cam. You ever have one of these fucken cams kick back. It happened to me twice over the years. After clockin the crank back 30- 45 degrees haven't ever had another mishap. Freewheel the cam where i want it. Lock it and then put number one piston top dead.

You dont see it but the blind leading the blind.
