Volkswagen Mk5 GTI Timing Belt & Water Pump Replacement DIY (2006-2008.5 VW GTI, BPY, CRZA EA113)

►Your engine takes in air and makes explosions thanks to the valves and pistons working together. The Mk5 GTI uses a timing belt and a small timing chain to keep its EA113 engine in time, but both can wear out. Replacing the GTI's timing belt and chain prevents the pistons from kissing valves and severely damaging the engine. While you're in there, you'll want to change the water pump, too. The water pump, driven by the timing belt, can last between 60,000 and 100,000 miles. The timing belt generally lasts around the same, so the two make a logical replacement pairing. Replacing your GTI's water pump won't require extra work and is a "while you're in there" service. Overheating an engine can damage it, like a snapped belt, so ensure your engine's health with a fresh one. In this video, Mike Hiadlgo, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er, replaces the timing belt and water pump on a Mk5 VW GTI. 00:00 - Intro 01:28 - Tools Needed 03:23 - Job Start/Coolant Draining 05:10 - Wheel & Fender Liner Removal 06:48 - Charge Pipe Removal 08:15 - Expansion Tank Removal 10:21 - Fuel Lines Removal 13:28 - Upper Timing Cover Removal 14:57 - Serpentine Belt & Tensioner Removal 16:32 - Setting TDC 16:58 - Crank Pully Removal 18:27 - Engine Mount Removal 22:36 - Lower Timing Cover Removal 23:15 - Timing Belt Removal 25:42 - Timing Belt Rollers Replacement 27:03 - Water Pump Replacement 28:49 - Timing Belt Install 30:56 - Lower Timing Cover Install 31:43 - Engine Mount Install 35:19 - Crank Pully Install 37:06 - Upper Timing Cover Install 38:05 - Serpentine Belt & Tensioner Install 39:51 - Coolant & Fuel Lines Install 40:53 - Expansion Tank Install 41:55 - Charge Pipe Install 43:00 - Fender Liner & Wheel Install 43:45 - Splash Shield & Lower Coolant Hose Install 44:19 - Coolant Fill 46:43 - Wrap-Up Buy This Kit Here: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/vw-timing-belt-kit-contitech-kit-bpytimingkit5?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=mps%20mk%205&utm_content=timing%20belt Buy Astro 94093 Tool Here: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/multi-cable-hose-clamp-pliers-astro-pneumatic-94093?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=mps%20mk%205&utm_content=timing%20belt Volkswagen 2012-2013 Volkswagen Golf R Base Hatchback 2.0L L4 CRZA 2006-2008 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Sedan 2.0L L4 BPY 2006-2008 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0T Sedan 2.0L L4 BPY 2007-2008 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg Edition Sedan 2.0L L4 BPY 2006-2008 Volkswagen Passat 2.0T Sedan/Wagon 2.0L L4 BPY 2007-2008 Volkswagen Passat Lux Sedan/Wagon 2.0L L4 BPY 2007-2008 Volkswagen Passat Turbo Sedan/Wagon 2.0L L4 BPY 2006-2008 Volkswagen GTI Base Hatchback 2.0L L4 BPY 2007-2008 Volkswagen GTI Fahrenheit Hatchback 2.0L L4 BPY 2007-2009 Volkswagen Eos Convertible 2.0L L4 BPY SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/fcpeuro?sub_confirmation=1?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=subscribe&utm_content=subscribe%20button Get free parts from FCP Euro: https://www.fcpeuro.com/page/lifetime-guarantee Follow FCP Euro on: https://www.facebook.com/fcpeuro https://www.instagram.com/fcpeuro/ https://twitter.com/fcpeuro https://www.fcpeuro.com/
