Making chain guides out of brittle plastic, what could possibly go wrong? 😂 A great job sir and a really interesting watch, I had a similar job done recently on my 1.4 TSI. Chain had jumped but by some miracle no bent valves… had it overhauled in the end due to damaged ring lands and worn oil control rings on the pistons.

I know poor design isn’t it. Always seems to be the guides. Yeh I’ve been lucky with a few engines like that

You take on the jobs I would run a mile from😎

Brave with that. I'd never lap valves myself no point better of dropp head off for full job in machine shop.

[@themobilemechanic1992]

@@Milosz9 I’ve never had an issue with doing it myself but if the seats was damaged I’d of done that.

Did a opel 3.0 valve job recently. Car was $250.

Great video, really helpful to see the process. Can i ask how much was it for the parts to do this please?

[@themobilemechanic1992]

Thankyou. I think in total was around £350 in parts including turbo core I replaced.

@themobilemechanic1992 thank you, I might be having to do get the same job done on an Eos so good to know an idea of costs for parts

[@smartbidshop1]

What are the rocker cover bolts torque settings i have to do valve stem seals

wow just wow amazing job with that. Quite convenient I actually have this exact issue and need this job done to my car as well VW Golf mk6 1.4 TDI engine as well. Looks like it took you quite a while. What do you reckon they would charge me at the shop for this job? I would take it on myself if I had a drive or garage but lots of tools needed to purchase I'm just a novice

[@themobilemechanic1992]

Depending on the garage would imagine £1,500 ish. But a garage would likely just advise to replace then engine

[@Gman-nb9ge]

Bloody big job that

[@zaidiboy4281]

So how did u install the intake runner flap? flap up with something to hold it in that position? as i have a error on mine "stuck open" and can you pls provide the steps for adaptations BLG engine code.

[@themobilemechanic1992]

Ah you’ve probably tightened it down on the flaps, just take it back off make sure they are not bent and on the side pull the actuator in as you place it onto the block that will prevent getting them stuck

30:20 Erm, no. These engines you need to measure the TDC with a scope in the cylinders to time them correctly, otherwise it aint gonna last long 😂 But sure for other engines its the way to go!

[@danielfl.9347]

But good thing getting it running again. I am guessing the costumer was on a budget, so still better than not having a car

[@themobilemechanic1992]

Thanks for the feedback Daniel, after doing 100’s of these and checking with a DTI gauge after, I found every single one bang on so I tend not to use it unless I’m unsure which would be rare.
Everyone’s got there own way of doing things though 🤙🏼

[@danielfl.9347]

@@themobilemechanic1992 If you can get the EA111 bang on you are a wizard! Great job getting it running again. Hopefully the costumer will take great care of her!

Do you have your own mechanic workplace or do you work for another employer?

[@themobilemechanic1992]

I do this in my own garage or side of the road if doesn’t fit in the garage

[@sylvainonthetrack9228]

why did it smoke a little?

[@themobilemechanic1992]

Just burning off the oil etc from the rebuild. Not uncommon clears after a couple minute

[@imTechBro]

Great job! Felt like it might’ve been easier taking the engine out doing this? Or maybe not..

[@themobilemechanic1992]

Haha possibly but my options are limited 😂
