Thanks have a 81 rabbit and will be doing this shortly. This car is a pleasure to work on and videos like this make it even easier. Have a good one sir from Baltimore MD in USA
You did forgot some steps. The Injectionpump has a hole at 3 0´clock there you have to put in a round locking tool too. When camshaft in the rear locked you have to unscrew the bolt in front before doing a new belt on. From back by slightly hammering lose the cmshaft gear. While tightening the new belt it has free play to adjust. After that tighten the bold again. Then remove bith locking tools. To adjust the injection timimg you use a special dial gauge for Dieselprimimg time. Greetings from germany
This video really took the stress away from this task
Thanks bro I got my 80 dasher back in business, good vid
You’re awesome, about to start the timing belt today
Thank you for this
Good job Chris! Love the videos!

thx for the vid my 83 jetta diesel just blew the belt
Mine is the same color haha love it. Im trying to get it running I have thr 1.9 turbo swap. Built the motor in engines class like 5 years ago.. Hopefully this is the year it drives
Man I miss tinkering on my Rabbit
Use nail polish or a concrete nail mark all 3 tb pulleys and put it back in. You must change tensioner its a bearing and thats very important. .
Good job! Are you doing any camping in your van?
Robert Phillips Yes Robert just returned from camping a Danielson park check out the video ! Thanks for watching Robert
My wife and I have an ‘80 Dasher Diesel wagen and I know I need to replace the timing belt on our car. We bought the car recently and it had been sitting since 1994. I’m not going to risk the engine. The belt is being replaced. Could you list your citations for the information, please? Ian it ildound in the Bentley manual?
Yes you need a manual. It's easy with a manual.
I can tell that the 1.5s are abundant in the great provinces of Canadia. I'm in the US and parts are impossible to find, how much for a set of pistons up there?
Ian Hennessy Your clueless bud. If I need parts for my 1.5s I order them from the United states. There is no parts for anything in Canada we buy everything from The United States.
Dude there's tons of websites to get parts from. Just do a Google search
Is this procedure same as an 1.6l diesel from 1985?
Nico Stenfors Very similar but I haven't done one myself !
Exact same
How about a turbo on 1.5 ?
I have this engine inside of my boat with a water pump, does anyone k ow where i can find the thermostat on this engine? I need to replace it
On the lower rad hose 2 10mm bolts
how many KM does your rabbit have?
+Kyle Tremblay it has around 76000km on it. Its spend its life in the city of Regina Sk so it never got many miles on the clock.
you shouldnt be able to rotate the belt 90° on a diesel 90° for gasoline engine 75° for diesel engines
how has it held up? I have a 1979 rabbit 1.5d check out some of my videos
Small Garage The head gasket let go on the 1.5L I found a 1.6 from.a 1982 golf and swapped that into it back to driving it daily.
@@thisandthatwithchris1984 when you spun the water pump in that video and said that doesn't feel good to me should have probably replaced it
bad advice apparently and apparently missing steps as this motor died a week later, not surprising see alllll comments below
"Em kay one." It's always entertaining to hear that. You left out so many steps (including determining WHY the old belt was being torn up (probably from a mangled intermediate shaft pulley)) that the video should be called "Half Assed Attempt at Timing Belt Replacement."
aut0mat0r like everything timing belts get wear and tear shut up dumb ass
@@Euank Just because it ran after the belt change doesn't mean it was running right. Read through the creator's comments and you will see the low mileage engine died shortly after. Hmmm, I wonder why.
Diesel engines require precise timing of the belt AND the pump. I guarantee this timing was off on both the belt and pump... I 100% guarantee the pump timing was way off too.
@@davidparker9676 Hi, out of interest (no offense), I'm planning to do the timingbelt change myself on a MK1. What else could he done to ensure it was good (he locked camshaft, and verified TDC, also pump was locked down) ?
@@chcm5876 You need a cam lock, a pump lock, maintain the crank at TDC, loosen the cam gear. Inspect or replace the cam, crank and intermediate shaft oil seals. A new water pump is a good idea too.
When the new belt is installed, you need to use a special dial indicator tool on the injector pump to make sure you have the right amount of pump lift.
You can get the diesel timing kit on amazon for around $90 USD, it comes with the essential special tools to get your pump properly timed. The kit is featured on another TH-cam channel called "Joe fixes it". It is made by EWK.
Another helpful video is from "VW DIESEL.net " on how to do the timing procedure.
If you do not time the belt and pump correctly, you can severely damage your engine
@@chcm5876 read all the comments above, some guy from germany nails it , and get a manual not some yahoo on youtube lol
