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.
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
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
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
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.
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 🤙🏼🤙🏼🙏🏼
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 👍🏼
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
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 👋👋👋
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.
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)
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
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. 👍👍
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 👊🏽
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
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
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 👍
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.
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
So...balance shaft DELETE? I was not aware this was a thing on this engine, but apparently it is...guessing nothing runs off that shaft deeper inside except a counterweight shaft. Does it significantly alter NVH at a certain rpm now? Does it rev quicker than before? Slower?
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
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 😂
Epic video, subbed, like the way you create your videos, well explained, awesome keep up the good work, have defo followed you and will keep an eye out for your 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 .
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.
Does somebody knows what is the engine code on this scirocco , because i thought all scirros have timing chain and not belt? It looks like TFSI engine from Golf MK5 gti. @TRHamza
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 👌🏼
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.

Thank you brother, InshaAllah
As a former owner of a TFSI engined car this was a super satisfying video to watch! Nice work mate!
old belt was a Gates item - probably one of the best brands for timing belts 👍
Good job Hamza.

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

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 👍🏼
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!
I love your down to earth ego free videos 👍🏻
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
7:14 it's a Gates brand kit, they're pretty good tbh, they use to be the OEM manufacturer for VW's belts.
You're very confident for someone who's not a mechanic! Keep it up!
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 👋👋👋
In shah Allah this car will be it's former glory and tearing down the streets awesome work hamza
Quality mate! I like that your using genuine parts.
Always fits the best!
Blimey very brave doing both ends well done Im Half way through the clip lets see how it goes timing chain next
Great quality video as usual. Enjoyed seeing you attempt this job and the attention to detail was great.
Awesome job bro. Another engine saved 🎉
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.
Something satisfiying about taking a engine for lumpy mess to a smooth and happy. Good vid.
Been waiting for this video to drop 😎
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
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 😊.

Interesting, makes sense, so was a decent guess haha

Thats some good quality, solid wrenching there, & the results sound so much better!
Keep up the great work & looking forward to the next episode. 👍👍
Sick video mate! Easy to follow guidance as well, given me the confidence to do all the bits on my tts myself 👍🏼
Great Video Hamza, really loving the repair and servicing details.
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 👊🏽
Love the new series 🔥🔥🔥 Can't wait for more!
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
Been waiting patiently for this video, car is coming together quickly, lots of support from South Africa brother💪🤝💥🔥👌
Crazy too see how much needed to be disassembled to get to the belt great work✌️
I also changed my cam adjuster. That thing can also make a knocking noise.
Well done mate, going from strength to strength, great content !😀🇮🇪
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
This is seriously impressive stuff! Well done 👌
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 👍
Thank you mate 👍🏼 I’m enjoying the learning process, no better way than just to get stuck in

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 .
Bro did a better job then some mechanics. Well done. 👌
Brilliant stuff. Love this guy
This is awesome bro no one gives these enough attention!
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! 🙌🏼
Love watching ur vids specially when they’re like this cuz im doing engineering n love watching ur vid they do help

🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great video, well done for getting stuck in 👍🏻👌🏻
Allways good to wach your videos ,really clean 👍👍

Absolutely fantastic video 👏👏👏
Nice work Hamza man !!
Well produced. Tidy. Informative. 🎉
I was watching frotting videos and got a notifications from your channel and i had to click on it fast

How come the cam 'lock' didn't lock the cams in place?
On my Alfa 156, they stop them from moving completely.
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

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???
So lovely , keep going the smart work , may i ask when the R36 is coming ? Thanks dear 🌹
Mate u could get a job at VW as a technician brilliant job doing all that car sounds real nice ...
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 😂
your quickly becoming the m539 of the VAG world
I do look forward to these 👏
i like how the screw on your electric ratchet progressively got more loose until it fell out
Following your channel and always watch your interesting videos from Kenya
Hamza what about 4 motion swap like from a s3 or golf r
When you gonna finish of the caddy?
Epic video, subbed, like the way you create your videos, well explained, awesome keep up the good work, have defo followed you and will keep an eye out for your vids.
Mashallah making big progress
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 👍🏼
Such a nice buy 😮
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.
where can you find all the torque spec for car im going to be doing some work on my polo gti but dont know how much to torque it
Great video, good work..👌..sounds sweet after what is maintenance work..why do people leave things to go so wrong..
Where did you buy the genuine parts ? Is there a link I could use ?
Just the video needed tonight, let's go.
Hamza had us the first half i thought rodney was paying us a visit!!
Hahah it sounded terrible didn’t it!
Does somebody knows what is the engine code on this scirocco , because i thought all scirros have timing chain and not belt? It looks like TFSI engine from Golf MK5 gti.
@TRHamza
Haven’t seen anyone do a golf with a scirocco front end swap, would be sick!
"serviced by Arnold Clark" says it all😂😂
I'm still learning too build is an egr delete possible on a gti mk7?
Been waiting for this!
Молодец, хорошая работа! Привет из Москвы ❤
Thank you! Great to have you watching from Russia 🙌🏼
Great video really enjoyed it
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.
Love the videos man so detailed and by the books
What a satisfying video
