In sha Allah hamza can be at the top one day, puts in effort into his videos even if he doesn’t post every week, atleast when he post it’s something good. Ym need to spread the love around share his shit like it nd what not
Solid job for, as you say, not being a mechanic. Having a unit makes these projects a lot less intimidating for DIY. Always a treat when your videos pop up.
Good job Hamza. What I did when I modded scirocco R is put some Macan callipers and two piece brake disks. Add in some OZ hlt (the ultralight ones) wheels and you shave nearly 20 pounds of unsprung weight. Massive increase in handling and definitely worth it on a front wheel car rather than going all horsepower and losing traction all the time
A few years ago VAG centralised component manufacturing. So instead of castings being made in Germany, Spain or wherever, they are all cast in Slovakia. Components are then sent from the various factories to assembly plants in Germany, Spain, Crewe etc.
Hey what can I possibly say bro I mean from doing reviews, projects and now this DIY clearly shows ur enthusiasm to develop skills needed to get things done and like u said u never did any timing belt etc and gave it a try honestly bro ur the best individual for people that are interested In cars and projects like these to allow them to learn new skills each day may u live long and carry on the best content that is currently established 🤙🏼🤙🏼🙏🏼
Pretty sure you can call yourself a mechanic now mate. Cam belts, timing chains, you're tackling some pretty high level jobs, not to mention you're about to rebuild the front end of a Scirocco 🤣 Huge props to you for getting stuck in about it.
even though your not a mechanic the knowledge and the fact you attempted all of that work by urself is beyond brave. Im an apprentice mechanic but u know way more than me
Man i genuinely appreciate the hard work you put into these videos. Im loving all the footage and learning so much. Had to edit this when i got near the end LOL the satisfaction you must have felt after doing that work and the engine actually works after
One of the first videos i watched on your channel was when you replaced the cam follower on yhe the high mileage Mk5 gti , to say you've come a long way since then is an understatement! Well done 👋👋👋
What a video, from where you started to where you are now, it's soo good to see, you doing timing belts and chains is a big achievement. The channel is growing well, keep up the content, it's motivating to see, gives me confidence to do it myself, big up Hamza
Really love your standard of work! Been watching for a while and it’s been great to see you improve skills throughout the builds. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Just so you know bro those squared off torx bits are called Ribe bits. Can get the full sets from Halford’s and that as I recently found out as the head bolts on TFSI are that type too
One small tip, timing belts usually have timing marks on them so you can line them up with your timing marks on your cam and crank pulleys. Looks like you made your own which also works, but generally the belt will have them from the factory which can let you know quickly if you're off a tooth.
Hey TR, Nice and informative vid as always! Regarding the balancer shaft delete, yeah they troublesome oil pumps. What I did on my BWA is remove the complete what I like to call a shoebox oil pump. I then removed the chain gear on the crank and "socket pressed" a gear from a Mk4 gti Engine with a mk 4 oilpump and tensioner. Then blocked off the oil return of the shoebox pump with a bolt so there is no pressure loss. Complete oil pump deleted. Engine is more responsive and feel somewhat that it spins up faster. Only thing now that it occupies more oil. 6l thereabout. Fyi for when you want to tackle this sometime again. Cheers mate
Fair play mate for doing all that work, and especially with no experience I'm a trained tech with 30 yrs VAG and BMW experience and I've seen people in trade for around 5 yrs and they still struggle with this type of work 👍
Mas sha Allah bro having your new setup & garage has definitely given you more confidence and made working on cars more convenient keep up the good work 👊🏽
Great video, well done with the work, you’re becoming an accomplished mechanic. I wouldn’t have a clue where to start with these procedures . It really satisfies my purist tendencies that you’ve used all OEM parts lol 😊.
It was serviced at Arnold Clark when it had the belt by the looks of it and they don’t authorise techs to replace the water pump unless it’s leaking so seeing an original pump does not shock me (I used to work at a Arnold Clark dealer)
Congratulations Hamza! Thats some good quality, solid wrenching there, & the results sound so much better! Keep up the great work & looking forward to the next episode. 👍👍
To have the confidence to even attempt all of that despite not having done a belt before is inspiring. Suppose it helps if you’ve got the money lying around to drop a replacement engine in if anything goes wrong 😂
Awesome video! Although would love to see even more detailed disassembly/assembly of parts and instructions on all the torque specs, for oil sump and any other bolts/ parts, or at least information where to find torque specs and other info. Also, ale the info about exact parts that have been used and stuff at least in the video description.
Great episode love your work and doing everything correctly is so satisfying and to know your have made that engine good to go for 10s of thousands more miles Great job and car is going to be superb Good luck and look forward to the next episode. Thank you
superb content ! honestly top notch, love the VW parts being used...minus the "lift" i really like how your tools are not thousands and top brands £££ ...just shows you can do things on a smaller budget .
Another brilliant video Hamza love watching this kind of content kinda makes me wanna go out and start fixing cars 😂😂. Cant wait to see the next installment
Do an AWD conversion! Definitely pro with the servicing and repairs now. Start my AWD conversion next week on my Octavia vRS eeek! Booked the whole week off Haha
@TRHamza yes no cutting and just the welding of the two prop bearing mounts. I did the wiring beforehand and using a gen5 haldex from a yeti for some reason as it still uses the pq35 based canbus over the other mqb gen5 systems (although looking back on it best to go gen4 with the filter as you know the gen5 are a bit more needy with servicing). Give us a shout if you have any questions 👍
Would love to know the costs of these genuine items. Would be nice to see a comparison with not genuine items. Not cheap stuff but brand names like Bosch or Gates for example.

Fair play on doing the cam belt and timing chain to say your not a mechanic you’ve really come along way from where you started at mate good work 👌
Thank you mate 👌🏼
old belt was a Gates item - probably one of the best brands for timing belts 👍
In sha Allah hamza can be at the top one day, puts in effort into his videos even if he doesn’t post every week, atleast when he post it’s something good. Ym need to spread the love around share his shit like it nd what not
Thank you brother, InshaAllah
Such a good feeling getting a notification that you’ve uploaded, keep it up🙏🏽
Thank you!
Solid job for, as you say, not being a mechanic. Having a unit makes these projects a lot less intimidating for DIY. Always a treat when your videos pop up.
As a former owner of a TFSI engined car this was a super satisfying video to watch! Nice work mate!
Facelift R owner here. Really good to see the engine and everything broken down, not a lot of Rocco specific vids on YT with this much insight 🤝
You're very confident for someone who's not a mechanic! Keep it up!
Good job Hamza.

Hi seen someone else mention the macan callipers.. is that of the 2.0 lt ? Looking at upgrading my tts brakes

Thank you for the kind words bro 🙌🏼
Need to do all this on my s3 so I’m glad there’s a video which covers it all! Quality video mate
Started watching your videos during the MK5 era. Absolutely loving the in-depth content!
Pretty sure you can call yourself a mechanic now mate. Cam belts, timing chains, you're tackling some pretty high level jobs, not to mention you're about to rebuild the front end of a Scirocco 🤣 Huge props to you for getting stuck in about it.
I love your down to earth ego free videos 👍🏻
Something satisfiying about taking a engine for lumpy mess to a smooth and happy. Good vid.

Man i genuinely appreciate the hard work you put into these videos. Im loving all the footage and learning so much. Had to edit this when i got near the end LOL the satisfaction you must have felt after doing that work and the engine actually works after
Blimey very brave doing both ends well done Im Half way through the clip lets see how it goes timing chain next

Always fits the best!

they certainly never used to , must be a new thing , great idea though.
@tomthompson7400 Maybe it's a Japanese thing, all the toyota and subarus I've worked on had them.
@@Canuckrz its a great idea .
7:14 it's a Gates brand kit, they're pretty good tbh, they use to be the OEM manufacturer for VW's belts.

In shah Allah this car will be it's former glory and tearing down the streets awesome work hamza

Thank you mate 👍🏼 I’m enjoying the learning process, no better way than just to get stuck in
I also changed my cam adjuster. That thing can also make a knocking noise.
Great quality video as usual. Enjoyed seeing you attempt this job and the attention to detail was great.
Crazy too see how much needed to be disassembled to get to the belt great work✌️
Awesome job bro. Another engine saved 🎉
Mas sha Allah bro having your new setup & garage has definitely given you more confidence and made working on cars more convenient keep up the good work 👊🏽
The OCD in me loves how clean you get everything and how you lay the parts out 😂
Great video, well done with the work, you’re becoming an accomplished mechanic.
I wouldn’t have a clue where to start with these procedures .
It really satisfies my purist tendencies that you’ve used all OEM parts lol 😊.
It was serviced at Arnold Clark when it had the belt by the looks of it and they don’t authorise techs to replace the water pump unless it’s leaking so seeing an original pump does not shock me (I used to work at a Arnold Clark dealer)
Interesting, makes sense, so was a decent guess haha
Subscribed. I just bought one of these and plan to do all these maintenance items over the next few months. Thanks for the detailed descriptions
Sick video mate! Easy to follow guidance as well, given me the confidence to do all the bits on my tts myself 👍🏼
Bro did a better job then some mechanics. Well done. 👌
I take my hat off to you for investing in the proper tools. It’s a mark of your personal standards. 👍😎
i like how the screw on your electric ratchet progressively got more loose until it fell out
Congratulations Hamza!
Thats some good quality, solid wrenching there, & the results sound so much better!
Keep up the great work & looking forward to the next episode. 👍👍
Being OCD i love seeing the new parts lovingly laid out on the table.
Nearly at 200k. Well deserved.....how will you mark the milestone???
Nice place to work on your own cars and take your own time nothing better then work on your own car keep up the good work bro 👍
Come a long way from polishing the S3 exhaust tips! 😅 Love the videos bro, keep smashing it 💪🏼
Legend 😂 thank you bro! 🙌🏼
your quickly becoming the m539 of the VAG world
Mate u could get a job at VW as a technician brilliant job doing all that car sounds real nice ...
Great Video Hamza, really loving the repair and servicing details.
To have the confidence to even attempt all of that despite not having done a belt before is inspiring. Suppose it helps if you’ve got the money lying around to drop a replacement engine in if anything goes wrong 😂
Well done mate, going from strength to strength, great content !😀🇮🇪
This is seriously impressive stuff! Well done 👌
Haven’t seen anyone do a golf with a scirocco front end swap, would be sick!
Love watching ur vids specially when they’re like this cuz im doing engineering n love watching ur vid they do help
Awesome video! Although would love to see even more detailed disassembly/assembly of parts and instructions on all the torque specs, for oil sump and any other bolts/ parts, or at least information where to find torque specs and other info. Also, ale the info about exact parts that have been used and stuff at least in the video description.
Always nice to see a video from the boy hamza when I open up TH-cam 👌
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Hamza had us the first half i thought rodney was paying us a visit!!
Hahah it sounded terrible didn’t it!
Love the new series 🔥🔥🔥 Can't wait for more!
So lovely , keep going the smart work , may i ask when the R36 is coming ? Thanks dear 🌹
Nice little TPS haul
Brilliant stuff. Love this guy
Been waiting for this video to drop 😎
Great video, good work..👌..sounds sweet after what is maintenance work..why do people leave things to go so wrong..
Amazing video. I really don’t know how did you manage to remove the engine mount bracket so easy. I suffered MY LIFE with that 🤣
It was still a bit of a nightmare, kept raising the jack 🤣 the scirocco doesn’t have access port either for the inner bolt like MK5
Great video, well done for getting stuck in 👍🏻👌🏻
Great episode love your work and doing everything correctly is so satisfying and to know your have made that engine good to go for 10s of thousands more miles
Great job and car is going to be superb
Good luck and look forward to the next episode. Thank you
"serviced by Arnold Clark" says it all😂😂
This is awesome bro no one gives these enough attention!
Been waiting patiently for this video, car is coming together quickly, lots of support from South Africa brother💪🤝💥🔥👌
Great see after a while in between vids
superb content ! honestly top notch, love the VW parts being used...minus the "lift" i really like how your tools are not thousands and top brands £££ ...just shows you can do things on a smaller budget .
Thank you! Yes for the most part the lift just allows for easier filming but definitely doable on jacks 👍🏼
Another brilliant video Hamza love watching this kind of content kinda makes me wanna go out and start fixing cars 😂😂. Cant wait to see the next installment
You've basically became a workshop now 😂 keep up the great work Hamza 👍
Such a nice buy 😮
Mashallah making big progress
I think it dident run straight away because of the Air in the Fuel System after you disconnected the fuelpump but anyways great job
please post more about the r36 bro cant wait to see that finished
It’s coming bro 👌🏼
Hamza soon as you done yours im going to try doing mine good luck almost journalist content ..more videos needed on a week minimum 😂😂😊🎉
amazing content like always man cant wait for the next one!
I was watching frotting videos and got a notifications from your channel and i had to click on it fast
Allways good to wach your videos ,really clean 👍👍
Do an AWD conversion! Definitely pro with the servicing and repairs now. Start my AWD conversion next week on my Octavia vRS eeek! Booked the whole week off Haha
I’m looking into it! Nice- I’ve heard on the Octavia there’s no cutting needed like these would need?
@TRHamza yes no cutting and just the welding of the two prop bearing mounts. I did the wiring beforehand and using a gen5 haldex from a yeti for some reason as it still uses the pq35 based canbus over the other mqb gen5 systems (although looking back on it best to go gen4 with the filter as you know the gen5 are a bit more needy with servicing). Give us a shout if you have any questions 👍
Would love to know the costs of these genuine items. Would be nice to see a comparison with not genuine items. Not cheap stuff but brand names like Bosch or Gates for example.
7:21 good old Arnold Clarke 🙄
Well produced. Tidy. Informative. 🎉
You took a "Gates" belt off it T... oe brand 👍🏻
Is the information provided by CarVertical always correct and what comeback is there when it’s wrong? Great video by the way..
Following your channel and always watch your interesting videos from Kenya
Nice work Hamza man !!
Always quality content 💪🏻 see you next month 😆
Always liked the Scirocco.
You made all that look so easy - how long did it take?
Took me a about 2-3 days due to filming and waiting on parts as I didn’t plan to do the belt initially, but glad it’s all done now!
@@TRHamza Will be a fab car. Can't wait for next video - quality of the videos on another level mate.
TRHamza, please check all your engine mounts
Great work Mister 👍👍
i enjoyed wachting this brother, Mashallah ,
the 19 original wheels are beautiful , keep em plz :D
Great content as always, just need more regular videos if possible 👍🏻
Absolutely fantastic video 👏👏👏
When you gonna finish of the caddy?
awesome work bro wanna see the caddy with an exhaust lol 😅
I know mechanics that don’t dare to touch these. Let alone do anything regarding the timing 🤣. I’ll send them this video as an example.
