INFO:

Video for replacing your timing belt on all 2.7t and 2.8L Audi/VW V6 engines,

INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING: JHM Exclusive Timing Belt Kit Install Video UPDATED with how to use cam lock bar and crank lock. Also more crank seal info.

NOTE: This video shows you how to replace the timing belt properly and effectively without any expensive alignment bars or special tools. It also walks you through the Water Pump and Thermostat replacement.

NOTE: for Cam seal replacement: Before you take the cam sprockets off, you must do the following if you don’t have the cam locking bar. You need to undo the 16mm bolts on the sprockets, then mark very well with a sharp screwdriver and or chisel how the sprocket keys to the cam. There are no keys on the cam or sprocket, it is a tapered fit and will spin infinitely. So you must mark it before popping the sprockets off so you can put them exactly back where they were. If you don’t mark it and put the sprockets right back to where they were then you will need a cam locking bar.

Got the 2.4 which looks identical to the 2.8 so hopefully this works, fingers crossed. I got quoted 300€ and 260€ from 2 different shops. Thats just labor. DIY might take me 2-3 days. fingers crossed.

Kevin says:

it would take a little more than a ratchet to bend valves

Kevin says:

aren't timing belts fun with the front of the car not there?

Martin Rose says:

Great video. What do you do if the large holes don't line up on the cam sprockets? the right side is up a half inch while the left is straight across when at top dead center.

I've seen many vids about this procedure but nothing this good thank you so much for doing this good sir,,,,

drowization says:

Awesome video, well done, but at 12:47 when you line it up, does that mean that it is in top dead center ????

Miguel Garcia says:

I am following this video and truth be told it is not as hard as some people make it out to be its my first time and so far so good the reinstall of the belt might be kinda hard but we will see but video is so helpful.
