Thanks for your videos - they really do help home mechanics - just replaced the rear main seal on my 2010 4motion Tiguan - I’m putting everything back together over the next few days - retired, so no rush - I installed 034 Motorsports billet seal - the original VW unit had delaminated causing a leak past the seal, the actual shaft portion was okay and not leaking - I completed the task with the Tiguan on 12 ton axle stands - I did not remove the subframe - just enough room to slide the transmission past everything. Again, your videos gave me the confidence to do these tasks. With the front suspension and CV shafts removed - I’m also replacing all suspension connections - ball joints, tie rods, and roll bar links, plus replacing front strut shocks - Bilstein. Plus changed the gear oil with the bevel box removed. Cheers
thank you for your videos, I have a question: I want to buy a Tiguan year 2023 tsi 2.0 engine, please tell me if it still has the same problems on Volkswagen engines today
Got the vac leak from PCV hole. Lots of pull by Oil Fill Cap too which was not properly fitted! Hope it is not the other Vac Actuator 2:20 issue but see in a week by garage. There is a 2nd Turbo PCV at lower rear left. Not sure if that is issue as only used a small boost around 3000rpm in driving and it stayed at low rpm to the garage whistling away.
Hi, thanks for your video Im thinking of buying an arteon 2023 with 8, 000 miles. Will this be a reliable car? Now that the car wil. Not be sold in the US, should i be concerned about parts for the vehicle?
@@Motorcarnut Yea i had a customer that had one failed, burnt spot on medal that touches bottom of bulb and ordered another from used car and same burn spot. Just put a dab of solder and turn signal working fine now.
Unfortunately, the "new style" timing chain tensioner is no guarantee that your engine will not self destruct. The timing chain tensioner on my daughter's 2016 Jetta GLI failed and wiped out the head (bent valves). The car had less than 90,000 miles and is costing her $5,000 to repair!
A be car is something that u can drive for 3 years if you a good person and financially stable it will take u for 5 years … should u proceed to 6 years your wife will dump you … they are nonsense cars I have a gti but futsek a Toyota will do period

You are welcome!

Most of the old problems were resolved, so you should be fine. Good luck

Yes if left untreated it will blow the rear main seal so it’s good your getting it fixed now.
With you experience what do u think of a 2021 vw passat with the 2.0 tsi
They are much more reliable than the previous generations, just enjoy!
You have a video about replacing the alternator?
Not yet but can make one soon
Hi, thanks for your video

No, that vehicle is not related to these problems.
CAN YOU REPLACE THE ROD AND MAIN BEARINGS WITH THE ENGINE STILL IN THE CAR???
Absolutely not, the crankshaft cannot be accessed.
Is the turbo on a vw passat 2010 turbo a variable geometry?
No, stationary vane type.
I have noticed the rear left turn signal sockets fail as well.
Never experienced that yet but appreciate the info!

@Fortworthman999 gotcha, I’ve replaced many on older BMWS
Is it the same for the 1.4 Tsi engine?
Not as much. The 2.0 is worse
Hii........my vwcc 2012 often drags when i start but once its warm it works normal. Pls what could be the cause of that?
Can be anything to do with the valve timing on these cars. I have many videos on these problems.
It could also be the carbon deposits build up on the intake valves
@MrTatica1973 that’s a big one!

Really? This is ridiculous. I didn’t really have any failures from 2013 up
Wow my 2014 GLI had 90k and no chain wear at all
You forgot to mention the notorious water pump. That bustard is a weak point no.1 my opinion. Replaced 3 of them on my cc 2015
You know, I’ve never had one fail only leaking.
If a timing chain is going to go out every 60 to 70,000 miles that is definitely not a reliable car
Timing chain should last the life of the vehicle but most never do.

Toyotas fail too can’t even make it off the assembly line. All manufacturers cut quality for profits
