Brilliant, you helped out today when I changed mine. Best instructional video, you're a natural born teacher, well done. RE the vacuum I have a mityvac where would I plug it in?
Hi mate not a worry! Thanks for the kind words! Glad it helped! If you’re referring to the coolant vacuum, you buy the tool from ebay, it’s a specific tool that’s hooked up to an air compressor. I didn’t buy one in the end and it was okay, but lots of squeezing of the coolant lines and not sure if there was a bubble. But it was fine and has been ever since.
Thank you very much for this DIY , especially for the torques . This is essential. !!!
South Africa 🌍 . tanx helped me alot. Removed battery for better access, The pipe clamps were a bit difficult but job done 189 000km.
Hi from Ireland...great video and explanation..keep them comming
Top Video, i have changed it these Weekend.the Video was a good Help.
Viele Grüsse from Germany
Good job! Thank you 👏🏻. Only a question, is the pump synchronised with the camshaft? I don’t under everything you say about the cylinder no.1. Thank you!
Hi Thankyou! No it doesn’t matter, the procedure says it does but it doesn’t.
My car only has 70 000km on it. And the pump is leaking.
Last month it was the fuel sensor in the tank!
What happened to German "quality"!?
Great video, just used to replace pump. Could you send something on replacing the Polo 6 1.2 Tsi intercooler
Hi mate I reckon it would be easy enough to do yourself, you would just have to take the bumper off, I think there would be a fair few videos on this! Good luck
Cool guy , well done 👍🏻
Hello I have a 2013 1.4 tsi. No overheating or leaks but car runs just a little cold - a tad under 90c
This is indicative of a bad thermostat right? How do I change the thermostat only? Cannot find any useful vids for my car.
@@AussieJarred Okay thanks - any idea who to replace it? I can't find any guides online
Great video mate!
I know it’s been a while but where did you get the pump from??
Thanks mate, I got it from run auto parts from memory. been a while as you say 🤙🏻
Hi mate, thanks for video, just after replacing pump, when i turned on my ignition it said SERVO BRAKE FAILURE. is it because of removing that hose or i did something bad ? I never had that error before
Check the plug on the vacuum hose running parallel with the top inter ooler pipe or maybe the vacuum hose broke? It is for the brake booster
Awesome video, the last part though haha "I believe in ya".
One question man, after applying torque to the water pump, how tight should the belt be? Should it still move a bit or it should be super tight with no slack and movements on the gear?
Thank you
Haha thanks mate. I think I spoke about it, it’s hard if you don’t have experience but have you ever tightened a motorcycle chain? Kinda like that. Not heaps tight but definitely no slack if you feel?
@@AussieJarred thank you Jarred. Do not have much experience with motorcycles but saw a vid on how the tension on the chain is adjusted and measured, I do have a rough idea now. Appreciate the work you did mate.
Jeez, what a faff around just to change the pump. I'm nowhere near skilled to do this myself, so off to my mechanic I go.
Hello,
Do you have the part number ?
Did you order the small belt apart or it comes with the waterpump?
Thank you.
04E121600A i believe was the actual pump number but you should see it in the video

Hi mate, I've got the same ea211 engine in my leon. It's due a timing belt change, is it worth me changing the water pump at the same time as its driven by its own belt? Thank you
Hi mate, totally up to you ! I would definitely if they are the same age……
@@AussieJarred If I choose not to change the pump as it has its own mini belt, and is on the opposite side of the engine from the cambelt. Would a failed pump throw the timing belt off?? A VW tech told me there's no need to chnage the water pump with the belt on these engines
Hi man, great video! Can you tell me how many coolant liters you buyed?
Hi I’m sorry I’ve forgotten please Google, it may be 4 or 5 litres from memory
Por que te abra fallado por usar otro anticongelante que no fuera g13 o por uso
Hi. My car have like this engine Did this engine have pcv and where i can find It in what min and scond in this video. Thanks
Thanks! Watched multiple vids for the part around 15min!
Thanks glad it helped
