Hardly no good mechanics in Australia like you
Thanks Amigo good job
Big help. Thanks man!
Great job brother.
Very helpful video. Great tip on the aluminum screws. I had steel ones but never would've thought to check that. Thanks Brian!
Hi how long were the bolts please
Dude you save my life. This is the same pump situation for the gas engine.
Thank you very much.
Is it a t60 torx bit for the belt tensioner?
What was the Q7 mileage for the belt change??
I have a 2012 TDI and it looks nothing like this. Could this be for 2013 and up TDI?
If you have all the bits and parts needed, the job dose not look that hard to diy !!! Dealer would most likely charge $500-800. I didn't notice a thermostat, is it located elsewhere in engine bay ? Is it also a simple job to replace ?
Hi. when i did this. i notice some oil leaking from one of bolt holes. Was fine for three months but now i can see oil leaking from around the water pump. Help !! please.
Hi,
Thank you for this, it was very useful 😉 good job
Thanks for the video ! What is the replacement interval for the water pump on the 3.0 TDI?
Great video and appreciate your tips and tricks. Especially the steel to aluminum bolt variation and the air usage. What are your thoughts on timing chain replacement or maintenance on these 3.0l? I have 2014 with a stage 2 Malone tune. Def deleted and running straight through. Absolutely amazing engine, performance and mileage. I'd like to start thinking about checking the chain tolerances. Perhaps new tensioners? Or is it a complete replacement? I'm at 130k. But 90k of those have been with the tune, so it runs a touch heavier wear than stock, I'm guessing.
Probably the best explained video I've seen, (show belt application and parts). Nice job!
Great video- Perfect explanation all the way through. Thank you.
For a 2012 Q7 do you need to bleeding air out of the coolant system? if so where is the bleed point?
Is HEPU the best brand or should i go for audi oem
Excellent work, adherence to standards, and beyond! I wish I could find somebody like you to work on my vehicles in Georgia. : )
Good guide. Thanks
I have a 2012 Q7 TDI 3.0 and my engine looks slightly different that that. My Thermostat housing is located just above and to the left of the water pump pulley. I don't even see it on the engine in this video. What am I missing?
