Excellent video, Thanks! Is a 2000 Passat 2.8 the same or similar?
I removed the fan and supported it w/ a hanger… That gave me loads of
room to take the unit out/in… Some people suggested removing the BUMPER!
follow this guys lead!
are BANDO automotive belt are good ???
“Rooted”?????
@playstation2bigs They seem good but i do not have any personal experience
with them.
Had a ’98 Passat with that engine. Not good memories…one of the least
reliable cars I ever owned. Got rid of it before it hit 50k, thank goodness!
nice
Good thing I have the 1,8T Passat, alot more room in the enginebay :).
Rich, Would love to see a walk through of you’re tool chest. Any chance of
doing a video?
@GammaCruxis I do not like working on vw audi any more that is the truth
nothing but the whole truth so help me god.
@Slickbe25 That’s what i love to hear.
@seniorjohnl Yes that would be a good idea.
thank you very much.. this help me out a lot…I change the part myself all
because of your video… THANK YOU
@hp11208 5 valves per cylinder.
@Slickbe25 Thats why the Germans designed the front to be taken off to have
access to the engines. Porsche designed their cars to have the engine
pulled for service. Its the right thinking but in a greedy society makes
way to oh… thats gonna be 40hrs we have to pull the engine bs @ 95$an hr.
v6 but the side says 5v what does that mean
So that extra pin holds the tensioner spring in a pre-load position before
assembly? If so, when taking a good tensioner off to be re-used would you
stick a bolt etc through there to make re-assembly easier?
OMG a plastic motor!
Sorry i do not.
@Richpin06a The 2.8L engine is also used in the Audi A4 and A6 if you want
to add tags to this.
Glad to see some fresh meat. Thanks Rich.
Great video. It took me about 30 minutes to remove the bad tensioner and
install the new one. Dealer would charge over $500 for the job. I spent
about $80 for the part, and a little over 1 hour for the whole job.
@joshgrami grate thank you will do
@hp11208 5 valves per cylinder
If you think thats bad wait till its time to replace the timing belt!
I suspect the factory service manual says you need to drop the front nose
and evacuate the Freon from the system and drain the radiator to perform
this particular service! Or was that a different VW/Audi model??
@vgs8606 I haven’t looked at one but i bet that is the truth.
I have replaced my belt tensioner a few days ago because of this video. I
am glad you made a video like this. Thank you soo much, I have no idea what
I would do if you haven’t made this video
Could you please tell me if this works for an AUDI A4, 2.8L (1998) as
well…it seems similar to it!!!
There’s a piece of twisted wire coming out of the grill. Did they break off
the hood release?
‘Little bit of a contorted thing to get it out…’ Tell us how you really
feel. lol You must have had an extra shot of brandy before shooting,
because I get a headache just looking at a Volkswagen (or by extension –
Audi). I don’t even have to pop the hood – I just know I’ll be swearing in
a half-dozen languages. lol German autos are fine bits of engineering – but
by heaven and earth you’d think they would make them less of a cluster to
work on.
@JohnSRosamond Yup that is the hood release.
are you saying all VW’s/audi’s with those types of engines like Audi A4, A6
and VW passats are crap? I have an Audi A4Q 1999 2.8L with a 2001 engine
that has 79k miles and so far the engine still runs nice. recently the
pullie came loose from the belt tensioner for the serpentine belt.
This would be the same procedure on a 2000 Audi A6 Quattro 2.8L, correct?
@mattmanslim Kinda figure that but just ask in case its something else lo.
