There is one crucial thing I would like to add; in your video the camshaft lock pin doesnt actually go into the pin in the cilinder head so the cam is not locked. It should go in all the way in till the black ball. Sometimes you need to unlock the 3 cambolts and wiggle it a bit to found the hole. If not the timing can be off.
Thank you for a very good descriptive video.Also searched for a video on changing the timing belt on 1.9 tdi but couldn't find it.Thanks to you I can now venture to work to change the timing belt and water pump.In the past I have only changed volvo engines.Thanks once
Yes I did. I was in a hurry when I did, so I have no video about it. Its very easy. On my chanel you can find a video how to remove the front bumper. The new one goes right back, you will be able to use the same bolts and nuts, You need a new bonet, that works with the old bolts as well. A new front grille, and ofcourse the headlamps. The headlamps has the same wire connector, but, you need a to buy a conversion kit from ebay, because the pin-s (wires) are in different order. Or you can struggle to take out the pins and put them the right way in. If you gonna do the second way, send me a message and I will send you the pic of the right wiring (it took me 4 hours on the burning sun the figure out the right pining). And thats it, you have a facelift t5.
mr edde you are the man! I am halfway through the job on my caddy and you have explained the tensioner mechanism very well. For me, the crank shaft locking tool hole and the cam shaft locking hole did not align. I had to lock the cam shaft, loosen the camshaft sprocket bolts and then very slightly turn the crank backwards until the holes were aligned. Do you think this will cause any issue with piston to valve contact? Both locking tools are now in and I think I am ready to change the belt.
Thats totally fine, it means the last one who did it, did not lock both the cam and the crank. The camshaft pulley gives that little room to play around if things are not alligned perfectly. Dont forget to turn the engine manually twice to be sure if everything is all right.
@@MrEdde95Ok great thank you, I will be sure to turn the engine over to check. I am also having lots of trouble fitting the belt. I can get it on all the sprockets and pulleys but am finding it hard to do so with the tensioner retaining pin also in its hole. Do you have any advice?
@@renegadesnarez3478 Yeah, thats not easy. Sometimes I take out the tensioner from the hole, I put the belt on it, and push it back to its place with the belt already on, it works.
Great video thank you! So when putting the belt you found starting from the bottom is easiest? Also do you have a link to the locking tools by any chance?
You so welcome! Yes, its far the most easiest starting from the bottom. I oredered it from my local carparts supplier, but I’m pretty sure if you type 1.9tdi timing locking kit into google, you gonna find something available close to you.
@@eliey4677 If the engine turns, it should start. It would be the best to scan it with a diagnostic tool, it should give you the reason why it does not start. You should check your two sensor from the engine, the crankshaft and the camshaft senzor. Also you should check if something is not blocking the air from the engine and check if the fuel is getting to the injectors.

Did you do the facelift yourself on the T5?
If you did, do you have a video doing it, or any idea procedure to do it
Thanks

Thanks for your reply and guidance, I'll be attempting this during the holidays, hope it turns out as good as yours

Hello Sir, I ended up ordering the kit and changing the belt & pump. Now it’s refusing to start, the engine turns by hand but won’t start any ideas?
