That’s what “they say” but I have never experienced this personally. If you are already having shifting concerns, I don’t see why not. But if you don’t have shifting concerns, I would probably hold off on changing the fluid. Hope this helps. Don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already, thanks!

If you use the tool correctly it should press the crank pulley into the spider gear. It only lines up one way correctly though, there is a “toothed key” that you have to feel out by loosely turning the pulley to match it up then put the tool on and snug the bolt down by hand. Now that you say that though, to keep the crank from turning over when you’re tightening down the bolt, there is a crank lock tool that I forgot to specify. Sorry about that.

@@RedsVolkswagenRepair yep got the counterhold tool and always snaps out when im at the end of torquing it.. i guess thats the problem right there. Its just really frustrating when you put everything back together for the 3rd time to try it and it still wobbles

@@qb93 Yeah. I always try to turn it over by hand to see if there is significant pulley wobble. Definitely don’t want to start the engine and that spider gear slips. That’s an expensive day right there.

You are correct. I don’t give torque specification out on my page. I leave that for the viewers to do their own research.

This was a genuine part. It was an extra I had laying around. It’s actually for the newest body style of Tiguan (Mk2/MQB) and is the exact same as far as dimensions go. They just changed the color from a normal cherry red to a tinted red. It also has a washer sprayer nozzle built into it that is a minor difference. It just isn’t used because on the Mk1 it comes out of the wiper arm shaft. Hope this helps! And thanks for subscribing!

Funny you ask. I just finished up a water leak nightmare yesterday on ours but didn’t make a video on it. I replaced all four of the sunroof drain pipes because they shrank in length and popped out of the grommets which put 6 inches of water on the floor boards. That fixed the major water leak but then after water testing it, there was still a minor leak on three corners right above the grommet connections at the top. I took out the rear glass and just activated the front glass and stopped it at the middle of the car. Looking at the sunroof track from above the car you can see where the edge of the metal track sits on top of the plastic framing. At the edge of the metal framing I applied a thin layer of RTV to cover up the mating spot on all four corners and so far so good. I wish I could share a picture on here to show you but I can’t. The only other fix would be replacing the entire sunroof frame assembly. Hope this helps. Don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already, thanks!

my comment was referring to the Third Brake Light as i replaced it and i still find some water spots when i pour a lot o water on it...@@RedsVolkswagenRepair i have no issue with the sunroof..

@@faby952 Oh wow. Sorry about that. I thought this was a completely different video that you were commenting on. Hmm… Is the third brake light new? Maybe take the third brake light back out and put a very thin layer of clear RTV over the seal that is on the third brake light. Then reinstall it and wipe away any excess RTV.

Thank you! 2009-2018 are the same until the split in body style towards the end of 2018. The 2018-present is a completely different body style. If yours looks mostly like mine (yours will have a face lift of only trim) then the process on this video is exactly the same. The current body style is the same process just things might look a little different. Hope this helps! Don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already, thanks!

That's Great brother , Really nice video.Thanks this video, please send your phone number ❤️❤️❤️

@@shahinsikder8586 Thank you!

Interesting. Do you have a GTI or GOLF R?

I used genuine Volkswagen. After market stuff is hit or miss. Most of the time they’re a miss though. Just made very poorly.

Im not sure on a Q5. Should be the same general idea though. Might just have to find a work around to gain access to them.

The pulley wasn’t the problem. The spring built into the tensioner became weak and created belt slap. If the bearing in the pulley was loose or roaring, of course.

@@RedsVolkswagenRepair yes it was the pulley not the spring

@@Ape76 Dude, no it wasn’t lol. I have worked on and diagnosed cars every work day professionally at the dealership level for the last 15 years. I know when a pulley is bad and when a tensioner is bad. Get out of here.

Thank you! Not from my experience with only oil leaking from the vacuum pump. If leaking vacuum then yes. Normally on that car though, rough idle on a cold start up means you have carbon build-up on the intake valves. Would need to take the intake manifold off and manually clean out the carbon. Hope this helps. Don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already, thanks!

@@RedsVolkswagenRepair thanks, got the new pump on. Definitely do not overtignten the bolts, I stripped one out and had to place a thread insert! The oil leak is gone now. Going to throw new coils & plugs in and look for a place to have the valves cleaned.

@@SchneidyP Nice! Glad I could help!

Thank you! Sure was, that’s how they come from the factory! Lock tight on those is never a bad idea. Absolutely, torque everything.

Not without damaging things. Is it possible, yes.

@@RedsVolkswagenRepair I succeeded. but a point of attention is the red signal light switch plug which sticks and can break. so you have to be very careful to loosen it first.

@@erenoglu Nice! Yup, always taking a chance. I showed the by the book way to do it.

You don’t have to tighten the end-links with the car on the ground because they are a “ball joint” style connection.

Most modern spark plugs come pre gapped when you buy them per VIN. It’s always a good idea to double check the gap though and compare it with the vehicles specification. Thanks for subscribing!

Did it start before you put the used transmission in? Could be a coincidence and it’s a whole different concern. The car does not need programming after transmission replacement, only if you replaced the transmission control module which is in a different location. Good question. Don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already, thanks!

@@RedsVolkswagenRepair yes, I drove it for about 15 miles to where it sits now. Transmission was slipping and not shifting gears.

@@NWCI Does it sound like an abnormally slow crank? Or normal?

@@RedsVolkswagenRepair it didn't seem slow to me but we were trying with jump pack. I guess I'll have the battery charged and try again

@@NWCI Reason I was asking if it was slow to start was to see if something inside the connection of the transmission to engine is putting too much pressure on the crankshaft/output shaft. For example… the torque converter not being fully seated into the transmission and then bolting the transmission and engine together. But if it wasn’t slow to start I wouldn’t think that’s your problem. Sounds like something else is going on possibly not related to the transmission.

Glad I could help! Real quick though, if i'm not mistaken the cc with the vr6 4motion might have a DSG transmission and not a normal automatic transmission. I can't remember. But if it is a DSG transmission it will say it on your shifter inside the car. Only difference in the entire procedure is that there is a fluid filter that sits on top of the transmission underneath the battery tray that will need to be replaced during the service. Other than that, the fluid fill process is the same. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already, thanks!

Good question, not without damaging the clips or door panel itself. But it is possible. Don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already, thanks!

Will you for sure destroy the clips or is it a strong possibility of you destroying the clips?

Hey, glad I could help out! And thanks for subscribing. Good question. Sounds like you did everything perfectly, maybe just didn’t wait long enough until it trickled out. Here in the states we use quarts so I’m not sure about liters, but I normally put 5 quarts in and it drains out about 1. I wouldn’t focus on how much is in the car though. As long as you have a trickle in the temperature check range, you will be good.

1 liter is 1.06 quarts. Did you not put 6 quarts in the transmission in this video? I was understanding you put in 6 quarts and then drained out 1 quart. I put in 6 liters (6.36 quarts) and drained out 2 liters (2.12 quarts)

@@MrMirada82 You’re right, I put 6 in. My fault. You will be good if you end up having about 4.5 quarts in the transmission. 👍
