this video saved my life bro, thank you very much. btw, to this date this is the only guide over all youtube, congratulations
Glad we could help! I had a lot of trouble finding any kind of information about it when we were trying to do it too. So thanks for the comment!
I do alot of European vehicles and I use identifix for repair info I also use matco 4.0 for diagnostics and I own a professional mechanic shop and rarely use you tube for anything because you either get shadetree type explanations or videos that don't explain to much not needed info or don't explain needed info...you sir did a good job with everything on this video and i would love to see more jobs you have done especially European cars...great detailed video...professional work ethic...would love to see more from you and I'm doing a 2013 vw beetle 2.5 this week and I am thankful I found your awesome performance video ...if you ever come to alvin texas and are looking for a job come see all things automotive
It's great that it didn't bend any valves. I did a little research because I'm considering buy one and I read that this is an interference engine. Really like how you bought special attention to locking the crank in and the coolant tube removal.
Loved the videos i got the equipment and put my friend's 2.5 back in time! Thank you guys!!
Hey guys, great video. Probably one of the only detailed ones up to this day on CZcams. I just had the pleasure to do a head gasket on one of these. If I remember correctly, the way the timing tool fit on this engine is with cylinder 5 at TDC, NOT with cylinder 1 at TDC like normal engine😉
Thanks for the detail. I’ve been searching for a while to find this info!
@@Metabolic-rifttt glad I could help!
It's not cylinder no.5 at TDC it's actually cylinder no. 1 at TDC. The engine sits backwards and the timing gear/components are on the front of engine (which is facing and closest to transmission and cylinder no.5 is furthest to the right or passenger side on the American spec version. Its backwards from what people are normally used to.
Honesty in CZcams'N. Congrats!
Great vid guys yup timing is everything
I have the same engine- it’s idling rough and has had 1-2 misfires. The codes point to what is normally a camshaft adjuster magnet- so I suspect this is what I’ll have to end up doing. Probably the best video I’ve seen showing how to do this. For a moment, I thought I could do it, now I know better lol.
Thank you guys so much, I finally got my car to run after I installed the timing chain 1 tooth off.
Happy to help! Glad you were able to get it fixed.
How
Do u know ur one tooth off I've tried several times and my engine won't crank maybe I'm one tooth off I know when I'm done with setting it and remove the tools I can't crank it by hand a full 360 help please
@@berryninja9579 If you cannot crank the engine all the way 360 then you have an interference engine where valves will touch piston with wrong timing. Dont try to start until at least your engine turns by hand 360. My was idling a little different but could not rev up with 1 tooth off. It was barely reving to 3,000 rpm and almost had no power.
@@berryninja9579 Buy vw 2.5l timing set with crankshaft stopper and cam locks and make sure both cams are aligned straight then put chain on. I think it was the exhaust cam that has no alignment pin for cam sprocket and that messed me up after I took it off.
Very informational.. good job you guys.
Great video 🎉. Thank you guys very much you got me out of a huge jam. Thank you
Very helpful video. I just replaced a valve spring cylinder 2 exhaust valve. I didn’t put the motor in time before I got started. Really dumb in hindsight. But anyway I did the same thing you did the first time put cylinder 1 at TDC then lined up cams. It ran like crap. Going to do the job again tomorrow hopefully the right way this time
I had all the guides on when I went to put in and torque the cam sprocket gears
Nice video guy
The only problem is the green coolant you used
what is the correct coolant?
Pink g12
Very helpful THANK YOU VERY MUCH for making this video.. Do I need to out the 2013 vw jetta she 2.5 in time before I pull the head for gasket replacement? My concern is the cams coming out of position. I'm thinking get it TDC mark my gears connecting to timing chain for repositioning after ward. I did order the timing kit so I took your advice thank you VERY MUCH!
Thanks a lot.very helpful
Any idea on bleeding cooling system? My car is hard to do. I might found the way to do it i guess
To align the cams with the tool which way do they lock against the tool. Do can shaft lobes rest against the tool on the inside or out side.. I could tell.
If the chain falls off the bottom sprocket how do you know where to line the chain up to? I have the cams locked together n the crankshaft is in . I’m doing the head gasket but when I took off the sprocket for the cams it came off the bottom sprocket.. will this be an issue?
how did you ensure you had the correct tension on the chain? Sounds like there is a took to push the exhaust cam sprocket to remove the slack. Did you need to do that?
Hey, i have a vw jetta 2.5 2005 and when i rev the engine between 2000 3000 rpms it makes a scraping sound and acts as it wants to putter and die. Can't figure out what it is any ideas? Thanks
when you are taking the gear off should I take off the tensioner as well? The section dealing with the cain, I did not understand very well. Thank you for your help!
You do not need to take the tensioner itself off. You will just need to push the tensioner piston back up into its guide and put a pin (small drill bit worked for us) in the small hole on it to keep it up and out of the way. To do this, we used a flat head screwdriver to get under the piston and push it up. We did not show this very well as it is quite difficult to push it back up into its guide and pin it. However, at about 15:30 you can see the drill bit that we used sticking out of the guide.
So I managed to rotate the cams without taking off the chain all the way and the cams are in the right spot and in the tool but my marks on my gears are slightly off one is about three teeth off and the other is about 45° off... What does that mean
A mechanic replaced a cam on my 2.5 rabbit 2007 car. And it's throwing a p00011 code saying it's a bank 1 cam advance timing but he said he bought them tools just for this car. What do you think it needs re timing
Where did you find the locking tool and crankshaft pin at? Thanks
i like this video father and son is a great way to do things together. now i will be working on my 2012 jetta 2.5 sel how much did you spend for the parts and tools
Over the whole build we spent about $1100 in parts and tools.
I just got an 09 Jeff's w 132k I have to replace the vac
Pump oil leak seems like its got a porta life in her
Did u ever started the car w timing off?
Where y'all located? I need this done!
Great video. How did the timing get messed up in the first place. I have a similar issue and not sure if a re-timing makes sense or if I need to replace the timing chain. If I reset then won't it go out of alignment at some point again?
I just experienced this similar challenge. My Nigerian mechanic hasn't been able to fix it. He's telling me to go an get another engine for the vehicle.
How can I tell ur one tooth off I've tried several atemps car will not start crank won't even rotate 360after I lock it all in so frustrated maybe I'm putting chain in wrong I did do I'd with the chain guard on help
Awsome video, and the only info that I could find online. I did the timing on mine after the chain skipped, but finding top dead center with a dowel on the piston, then locked the crank in place. I didn’t find the locking hole on the crank. Couldn’t get it to run, well why do they call it top dead center if the piston isn’t at the top when it’s at the locking point. I would have never figured this out if it wasn’t for you guys. Thanks for the video. Love it
Thanks Nick! I had the same trouble finding info when we were working on it, but was finally able to scrape up enough to get it all figured out and failed horribly positioning the crank the first time we tried. Glad you were able to find us!
I know this is an old video but i hope someone can answer my question on the tensioner that you pushed up and put the pin in and took the guide off what do you do when the oil comes out and then you dont have that much tension on the chain. I did that today but im afraid to start my car now. I know once the car is running it will build up oil pressure but how do you get that pressure before starting the car?
I'm not exactly sure why you would not have much tension on the chain after removing the pin, but otherwise what you could do to build oil pressure is to unplug the fuel injectors and turn the engine over for a few seconds. This will help build your oil pressure before actually starting the engine back up. I hope this helps.
romeo 2 you can disable the ignition and crank it over a few times this should build up some pressure while not firing up the engine
Hey how many hours does it take to replace the timing chain and tensioner for this car?
I’m not sure about replacing it completely as we only reset the timing chain. However I would give it at least a full day to reset the timing chain. I believe to replace it the process is a little more involved than resetting.
Great video. Kinda sucks that as a DIYer you have to buy basically a one-time-use tool just to time the engine correctly....
100 dollars is a smaller sacrificed, compared to thousands at a dealer.
Meu mecânico ta montando cabeçote desse carro pego normal depois válvulas de admissão em pena será que é porque não tem a ferramenta adequada pra colocar no ponto que ele que fez uma mas não sei não agora ta trocando as válvulas pra montar de novo e pediu a pela internet a ferramenta certa pra colocar no ponto se vocês ja passou por isso puder ajudar liga quando desliga não liga mas meu amigo mando fazer antes de funcionar tira as vela e tira as bobinas e a mangueira de gasolina tira fica dando bastante partida antes de funcionar pra tencionar
Great diy. Question, when you got the timing chain, did you get just the chain? Or did you end up getting g the kit? If it’s the kit, could you share where did you get it from and what’s included? Thank you.
We used the existing timing chain when doing this.
@@OrdinaryCarGuys great!! and how long did this process take y'all? I was quoted by a mechanic $2700 and change for them to do the replacement. I nearly fainted hearing that cost. lol. So I was thinking to just do it myself.
@@OptimusBri22 I would say that a safe bet would be a full day to pull it apart fix it and put it back together.
@@OrdinaryCarGuys Great to hear! Thank you. After watching this video a few times, Im feeling a bit more relaxed about the timing chain replacement process. It doesn't look so daunting after your video. Thanks again and great job!
One last question.. I’ve read from forums that you have to take the engine and transmission out to replace the chains. Did you only do the upper ?
Nasty little thing to work on
I think it's funny you didn't disconnect the battery before you started lol
Trying to find camshaft tool can you give me some input please ordered one from Ecs & they sent wrong one

Wrong coolant 😬
hello i have problem on my golf 6 2.5 nobody know in my country what’s happening on my car p0011 code
whats the year of your car? that code is camshaft timing is off
Whats the link to the alignment tools?

The first link is for the crankshaft locking pin, part number T40069 and the second link is for the camshaft tool, part number T40070.
Can u link the proper tools in the description or in the comments please
See the pinned comment on this video
hello tell me the number of the kit for fixing the Volkswagen engine
Links to the tools are in previous comments
@@OrdinaryCarGuys I am from Ukraine it is difficult for me to understand the translation, preferably a link to a specific set
To remove head gasket do I have to remove timing belt
Yes, it will have to be removed in order to get the cylinder head off
Thanks I seen how u did it in part 3
Going to do it exactly how you did it in part t3
Would this work on a 2013 2.5
From what I know and have looked up, it should work on a 2013
I'm working on my 2012 2.5 Passat to replace head gasket, not timing chain. Almost the same setup
What can you use if you don't have a 12 point to remove that gear? Does a torx or star bit work?
Unfortunately no, had to go get the 12 point myself to get it to work
@@OrdinaryCarGuys thanks for the Swift response one more question does it have to be that one gear that's removed can the other one be removed to do the job I can't seem to get that gear that you took off, off of mine and I don't want to strip anything
I only ever removed that one gear with the various things that I was working on at the time so I’m honestly not sure. I would assume though that as long as there is a way to keep the teeth in the same location when you put it back on that it would be a problem. Since I never took it off, I can’t remember if there was some kind of key on it to make sure I’m that it would go back into alignment correctly
@@OrdinaryCarGuys I just can't get that gear of
@@OrdinaryCarGuys how far do I got to turn the crank before the pin locks in? Apparently I'm not doing something right because I can't get that gear off at this point I'm just stripping the 12 point
A crank pulley adapter tool would’ve been really helpful..
Boa noite
thats a triple square, not a twelve point. i believe they are different.
same thing
Wow what about the tprque for the vvt sprocket. Just watched 16 minutes for nothing
Are these interference engines
They are sadly.
G12/13 coolant regular car guys 🙄
