Video that shows step by step how to change the timing belt with its corresponding tensioners, roller and change the water pump. Counted step by step for beginners. It is a video in which I have purposely wanted to extend a lot, giving all kinds of explanations, and insisting and repeating several times the most critical and important aspects to make oneself change the distribution belt, leaving it tight and explaining the what and what for each of the steps.

If you have some experience and hurry to remember the steps of the process, in my opinion this is not your video because it will be very heavy and I recommend, therefore, that in that case you see the one made by the brand itself "SKF" that only lasts 9 minutes and it is seen continuously and quickly each of the steps and its link is as follows:

In this video of mine, however, there is a lot of emphasis on the two most critical and important points in this procedure: the correct setting of the camshaft and the crankshaft at the exact point of the timming and, on the other hand, the exact adjustment of the proper tension with which the strap has to stay.

Due to its extension, the whole procedure has been divided into the following 6 videos: The first three show the dismantling processes necessary to have a good access to the distribution belt and water pump, and the following are; first, the present video of dismantling the belt itself and the correct setting of the camshaft and the crankshaft. The following video shows how to change the water pump, replace the belt and give it the proper tension. The following videos are about the assembly of all disassembled elements and about the verification of the proper timing using the VAG-COM software diagnosis cable and software:
