►The timing belt on the Mk6 Jetta and Golf TDI engines is also responsible for driving the water pump. Because of their connection and importance, you should replace them together when it comes time for a service. A failure from either one of them will cause the other to stop functioning and eventually cause significant engine damage. Replacing them at their specified interval—or earlier at the sign of trouble—is the smart way to maintain your TDI and ensure its health for the thousands of miles ahead.
In this video, Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro’s Professional DIY’er, replaces the water pump and timing belt on a Mk6 Golf TDI.

every diesel-gate TDI owner hates their paint because it looks like vw played bumper cars with them after they bought them back.
you might want to edit at the point the annotation says 50Nm for the water pump bolts !
Amazing Video, save me so much time. Can you guys do the timing for a MK7 GTI, that would be awesome.
Thank you
that Volkswagen Mk6 TDI Timing Belt Kit is ridiculously expensive!
Is this job similar to the 2015 MK7 VW Golf TDI ? Excellent video ! Would like to see more TDI videos on 09 Jetta TDI and 2015 Golf TDI.
I like how quiet my mk4 wagon is with the muiticolored carpet layer between the panels and regular carpet so I'd say keep that foam
If there is an award for the best car maintenance video, this one should take the first place
