I'm not a mechanic by any means but it's a year now and still no issue or leaks, But you sir are a true teacher thanks a bunch. took me 3 hours. saved me 800 freedom units. 👍👍✌✌
I did this timing belt, water pump and tensioner replacement yesterday. It was totally doable! Took my about 5 hours but I was really taking my time and documenting the process. In my case I actually didn't need to remove the alternator. But other than that I followed this video exactly. Thank you for this upload. Great video. Also I would recommend anyone doing this type of work to purchase a Bentley manual def helps as a reference for torque values etc.
Great video! Harbor Freight represent!! (except for the snap-on torque wrench ;-) ... for those asking, this is a 2.0L / 4-cylinder, better known as a 2.slow. Yes, Jetta's still use timing belts... except for the 1.8 TSI and GLI? Really great production quality.
Awesome video!!! I wouldn’t have done it without your help. Amazing!! It really takes time to do this job and hat off to all mechanics. You guys work hard and deserve respect.
Great job dude. Used a Continental Pro Plus with the metal impeller... went super. But total foot pound on the engine support please... rough estimate would be fine.
Thank you to this awesome mechanic and team at TRQ!!! This video helped me install my timing belt on my 2015 base model (manual) Jetta 2.0. The only thing I did different was not remove the alternator which saved time for sure. (I only needed to remove the top bolt of the alt' in order to remove that power steering fluid bracket which also locks in the serpentine belt tensioner.)
Just want to thank you so much for providing this video. I was able to complete the timing belt and water pump removal and installation. Just took the car out for a test run and it sounds so much better, one thing I would have loved to have seen is how to install the crank & cam seal... What are your thoughts on that becoming an issue, I also watch the Scottykilmer channel he recommends AT 205 reseal. which I'm going to start using since I didn't change the seal, do you have any thoughts about that idea? I currently have no leaks with almost 190,000 mi. Timing belt had several teeth missing, I was lucky that things did not become worse,! Local shops were charging- 3200-3800 in Texas😬
are these interference engines? Mine broke the timing belt. wondering if i can just replace the belt or if i need a new engine cause the valves are shot. thanks
I have a 2014 vwjetta se 1..8 turbo and my engine is different than the one you are working on. My alternator is mounded on the front side of the engine and don't require removal to acce the timing cover. Also my dip stick is in front of the timing cover. And my engine don't have hole in the side wall fended to access the lower motor mount. There is no lower motor mount. And my teacher is center bolt releas. Mt timing covering clip on its bolt on from top to bottom. Why such a difference in motors mine is a 2014 jetta se 1.8 turbo my crank has a single 1"bolt im trying to understand why such a big difference in the engine. Can you please help with yr insite? Thanks
I think the moral of this video is "Never buy a Volkswagen" - they're engineered to bust all your knuckles and maximize mechanic time on the most basic repairs.

I love you guys! Quality, easy to follow videos that give even the most basic DIY person the confidence ti get the job done.

Great how to. But the motor mount bolts should be replaced because they are stretch bolts.
the water pump is on the right side of 2016 jetta tsi 1.8l not sure why this video has it for up to 2018??
There were several different engines available for these years of jetta.
Best video ever so detailed showed everything from start to finish!

Thank you for a very high quality video.
Great video with all the necessary details. Thank you for doing this!!
Its best to replace those engine mount bolts. They are one time use stretch bolts.
Great step by step Thank you, looking for that Special Tool as you mentioned for the belt tension pully ?????
Excellent job and very thorough. Two thumbs up.
Thanks Lenny!!! Just completed this a couple days ago.
Amazing video!!! Thanks a bunch!! You are really thorough on every step!
Great video! Thanks for your time in making it.
Excellent video, thank you.
This car use the pink coolant o the green one? I'm confused because the dealer sold the pink one ...
are these interference engines? Mine broke the timing belt. wondering if i can just replace the belt or if i need a new engine cause the valves are shot. thanks
Great video
Nice! Thank you for sharing!
Is 1 hour and 11 minutes what an experienced mechanic should take doing this job or was the video edited (shortened)?
Great in depth video! Thanks!
Helped out a ton! thanks.
Stupid question but this is for Jetta TDI right?
Great. Video
Can somebody touch on what to do set the crankshaft timing if there are no marks on the crank pulley?

When does this service need to be done? I have a 2017 1.4 tsi with 100k.
you guys never put the engine size in your video titles - makes things much harder for people
Gotta see one of these videos where a tty bolt finally breaks.😅
This for the 2.5 L engine?
Is this the same as a 2017 1.4t jetta ?
I’m being told by my mechanic he needs to lift my engine out of the bay and what not, I honestly can do this myself
They're just trying to upsell you on the work. It's cheaper if you do it and a learning experience
I remember my friend had a car like this and the only person that could fix it right was from Acapulco 🇲🇽.
How about for a 2.5?
I don’t think you really need to remove the alternator or coolant hose.
The antifreeze comes out through the water pump hole anyway 🤷🏻♂️
What engine is this
Definitely not the 2.0t that's in my gli must be the 2.5
It’s the 2.0 Natural Aspirated non-turbo engine/8 Valve Gas.
A lot of hard work just to put the wrong coolant in it at the end…
Is this an interference engine?
Thats a MK4 old Vw not a newer 2014 plus ! They have a chain not belt !
The TDI 2014 Jetta has a belt.

I'm sure its a nice video but an engine size in the title would be useful. Not what I'm looking for. Guess you get more clicks though.
