Best Audi Tt Diy Timing Belt/Tensioner Faq/Water Nub In Addition To Thermostat Replacement
Usual disclaimer applies here, I am non responsible for whatever of your work. This physical care for is done at your ain risk, as well as my write-up is only a guide to help yous create it (as model years as well as options vary).
Big cheers to SScott for filling inwards all the bolt sizes. Also, I must metion my partner inwards law-breaking here, JustDave did most of the replacement of the timing belt as well as tensioner.
And 1 to a greater extent than thing, this is non the alone agency to modify the belt. It tin give the axe live changed without removing the A/C condensor as well as radiator, nevertheless I wanted to stimulate got enough of room to work....so I took it all off.
TOOLS/SUPPLIES LIST:
Metric sockets: 10mm, 13mm, 14mm, 19mm (12 point).
Allen sockets: 5mm, 6mm, 8mm
Breaker bar
Torx sockets: T45, T30
Set of metric wrenches
Timing Belt "kit" from PureMotorsports (www.pureMS.com ) $180
Fresh G12 Coolant (2-3 bottles if yous modify the coolant)
2 Buckets to pick out handgrip of coolant as well as windshield washer fluid if yous desire to reuse those
That's definitely non everything, but I don't mean value there's anything else out of the ordinary you'll need. Screwdrivers, socket wrench, extensions, etc...just normal stuff. H5N1 elevator would help if yous stimulate got access to one, but it's non necessary....jackstands volition suffice.
FRONT BUMPER REMOVAL:
1. Remove the plastic underpan; half dozen screws underneath as well as 2 plastic screws inwards each bike well.
2. Remove ii pocket-sized grills as well as fog lights (if applicable) on front end bumper; the grills come upwardly out exactly past times pulling.
3. Disconnect the hose to the headlight washers past times reaching through the hole where yous removed the driver's side grill; it disconnects at the lightened expanse of the pic below. If yous can't attain it, come across pace 6. Washer Fluid volition SPLASH out, so pick out handgrip of it inwards a bucket inwards instance yous desire to reuse that
4. Remove the ii long 6mm hex bolts (see higher upwardly picture).
5. Now grab the side of the bumper, near to the bike good as well as trace BACK (towards the bring upwardly of the car) as well as DOWN so UP. It takes a footling finesse, but it's genuinely non that hard. Have mortal else concur the bumper spell yous create this so it doesn't come upwardly crashing downward as well as scratch the paint. See the pic below, give away how the ii clips at the top as well as 1 at the bottom grab the bumper similar a claw. So if yous trace it down, as well as so upwardly (or vise versa), so yous should live able to run it loose.
6. If yous haven't disconnected the hose for the headlight washers, you'll live able to create it much easier now; stimulate got mortal to concur the bumper spell yous create it.
A/C CONDENSOR AND RADIATOR REMOVAL:
1. Drain the coolant. Loosen the cap on the filler tank inwards the engine compartment. See the scarlet screw at the bottom on the driver's side of the radiator; opened upwardly it exactly a chip as well as you'll come across where the coolant volition come upwardly out. Either connect a hose (as depicted past times the light-green work inwards the pic below) or position a bucket underneath to pick out handgrip of the coolant. You tin give the axe also withdraw the screw to drain the coolant out rather fast
2. Disconnect the upper as well as lower radiator hoses, every bit good every bit the sensor exactly higher upwardly the lower radiator hose. First, pry upwardly the clip or so the radiator plumbing equipment alongside a flathead screwdriver:
Do this for the top as well as bottom hoses. Now, exactly trace firmly (read: HARD) to larn the hoses off. See the sensor higher upwardly the lower radiator hose inwards the pic below
3. Remove the ii "air guides" attached on each side of the A/C condensor. They're blocked inwards the picture, but the Phillips caput screws would live where the light-green dots are inwards the picture.
4. Now trace the P/S cooler that runs inwards front end of the A/C condensor out of the way. The ii 10 mm bolts are shown past times the scarlet dots inwards the pic above. Check the clamps connecting the safe hoses to the P/S cooler spell yous stimulate got it loose, mine were leaking upon reinstallation of the cooler
5. Remove the ii brackets that concur the A/C condensor inwards place, they're held past times iv 10 mm bolts. See the picture, where the bracket is genuinely already removed
6. Disconnect the sensor that connects on the rider side of the A/C condensor (see higher upwardly pic).
7. Now; trace upwardly as well as so out on the condensor; "peel" the A/C condensor to the rider side.
8. To withdraw the radiator, pry the pocket-sized tab inwards the circular pivot up, every bit shown here:
to the spot shown here:
9. Now trace the top of the radiator out towards yous (as if the bottom border were a hinge), so up. The radiator is instantly free. Its a adept thought to even out the radiator out alongside a garden hose at this fourth dimension as well as allow it dry out spell finishing upwardly alongside the residuum of the tbelt change
REMOVING LOCK CARRIER:
1. First unplug the horn(s) on the rider side, every bit shown past times the lightened ovals (on a 2000 at that spot is 1 horn per side )
2. Remove the bulbs from the plow signals (see dangling bulb inwards higher upwardly picture) and
disconnect the plugs to the headlights.
3. Remove the bumper post bolts alongside a Torx T45 bit. The rider side volition stimulate got 4 bolts spell the drivers side volition alone stimulate got 3 which are asset the bumper posts
4. Remove the ii Torx T30 bolts at the front end border of the hood on each side.
5. Remove 1 Torx T30 bolt underneath each headlight; come across light-green arrow.
6. Slowly slide the lock carrier out towards the front end of the car; live careful it is heavy as well as at that spot are soundless wires running to the lock carrier (around the fan shroud), every bit yous volition see. Remove the hood release. Do your best to unclip the wires routed or so the fan housings, so that yous tin give the axe lay the lock carrier off to the driver's side.
TIMING BELT:
First, let's construct certain we're on the same page every bit far every bit the parts inwards the "kit." As seen inwards the pic below, yous should stimulate got (1) timing belt, (1) tensioner, (1) tensioner pulley, (1) bolt, (1) washer, as well as (1) metallic collar/sleeve. By the way, DO NOT PULL THE PIN ON THE TENSIONER, until the instructions tell to create so.
1. Remove the upper timing belt encompass past times releasing the ii "clips" as well as moving the hose that runs inwards front.
2. Remove the pasty fan; stimulate got mortal concur the plastic blades firmly, spell yous withdraw the 5mm hex bolts, circled inwards yellow.
3. Remove the A/C compressor belt past times loosening the tensioner alongside ii 6mm hex bolts. You volition after upon reinstallation utilization a wrench attached to the scarlet circle to tension the novel belt dorsum up
4. Remove the principal serpentine belt past times rotating the spring-loaded tensioner; utilization a crescent wrench as well as rotate clockwise, concur it spell yous withdraw the belt. If needed, withdraw this tensioner--three xiii mm bolts. You similar my xanthous crescent wrench? :-)
5. Remove the dampner pulley; stimulate got mortal concur the pulley alongside a 19mm 12pt. socket on a breaker bar, spell yous withdraw the iv 6mm hex bolts (allen keys won't cutting it here, you'll demand a socketed hex).
6. Remove the lower timing belt cover; at that spot are ii hex bolts the top: 1 is a half dozen mm as well as the bottom 1 is a five mm (green arrows), a 10 mm bolt (red arrow), as well as a 10 mm nut (black arrow).
7. This pace is the really critical. Carefully align the 2 timing marks (one on the cam sprocket, the other on the border of the valve cove) past times turning the engine past times hand, clockwise, using the 19mm bolt on the crank (where yous removed the dampner pulley from earlier). While yous stimulate got the belt off, yous must construct certain that these marks stay perfectly aligned. DO NOT utilization the top cam to plow the engine, ever plow at the crank when the tbelt is installed!
Also construct your ain grade the lower toothed sprocket on the crank, exactly for your
ain comfort of knowing that the sprocket remained inwards the same spot throughout the
install. We scratched an arrow on the sprocket; every bit yous tin give the axe come across inwards the pic that our arrow aligns alongside the tip of that protrusion inwards the metallic higher upwardly it. So after yous stimulate got marked the top cam as well as the bottom crank proceed to the adjacent pace yous volition also give away that the top cam is really difficult to plow past times paw so it wont most probable non motion but marks are critical!
8. Remove the quondam tensioner as well as pulley. First withdraw 13mm the bolt asset the "guide pulley" (that's what we'll telephone telephone it) on to the tensioner (green arrow); withdraw this pulley--save it. Now withdraw the ii 10mm bolts asset the tensioner to the block (red arrows). Remove the 10mm nut asset the pulley on (as circled inwards yellow, partially hidden from view). The pulley/tensioner complex should instantly live free.
9. Remove the quondam pulley "stud" from the block; yous won't demand it alongside the novel tensioner/pulley. It's 17mm.
WATER PUMP as well as THERMOSTAT modify (5 steps total)
10. The engine should await similar this now, the tensioner as well as timing belt had been removed. The H2O view sits inwards the scarlet expanse circled inwards the picture. Its non that difficult to modify so create it spell yous are inwards there, if yous dont desire to create this pace skip to pace # xvi as well as proceed alongside the Tbelt modify instructions
11. Use a screw elbow grease as well as larn through the whole inwards the P/S pulley at that spot is a perfect crevice that the screwdriver fits into so yous tin give the axe withdraw the 3 hex bolts that are attached to the waterpump. You powerfulness demand to slightly concur against the belt so it doesnt skid on the pulley itself. The pulley attached to the waterpump is shaped similar 2 plates against each other )( as well as volition come upwardly off after the hex bolts are removed.
12. Now yous demand to utilization your screwdriver in 1 trial to a greater extent than as well as pry it inwards the whole of the other pulley for the oilpump as well as withdraw the scarlet bolt circled inwards red. You dont stimulate got to worry if this pulley spins, it runs the view as well as it really like shooting fish in a barrel to turn. After yous stimulate got removed that 1 yous volition stimulate got total access to the waterpump. The light-green dots dot 10mm bolts that are asset the view within the housing, yous volition withdraw those after the adjacent step.
13. The engine volition soundless stimulate got coolant inwards it, so larn your bucket from before cook in 1 trial to a greater extent than as well as withdraw the scarlet waterpump drain plug. The coolant volition drain out, instantly withdraw the 2 light-green 10mm bolts that are asset that dark hose inwards the pic that is allready bended away inwards mine. This hose houses the thermostat as well as at that spot volition soundless live some coolant left splashing out so live prepared. Remove the quondam thermostat as well as recall that the restrain purpose goes within the view housing so yous reinstall it, the gasket comes inwards betwixt the thermostat as well as the hose non the housing!
14. Bolt the hose dorsum to the housing as well as withdraw the 10 bolts that are asset the waterpump to the housing, the view should drib correct out, instantly withdraw the quondam metallic gasket as well as construct clean or so the gasket area. Install the novel gasket as well as view inwards the same gild every bit yous removed it as well as reinstall the drain plug every bit well. Make certain that the gasket has a adept spot as well as is non kinked anywere.
15. Reinstall the large pulley that yous had taken off before inwards gild to withdraw the bolts that were asset the view inwards as well as where unreachable before. Tighten that 1 dorsum upwardly as well as motion downward to the newly installed waterpump. I promise yous ordered novel belts every bit well, utilization the novel P/S belt as well as slide it over the P/S pulley as well as attach your )( plate pulleys alongside the belt. The novel belt should live tight on those when yous are tightening the pulley dorsum onto the waterpump. You should instantly stimulate got a construct novel thermostat as well as construct novel view installed alongside a construct novel belt that powers both, arent those novel belts prissy looking compared to the quondam ones? You are instantly cook to proceed alongside the timing belt install
16. Time to get together as well as install the tensioner as well as pulley. First, attach the "guide pulley" to the novel tensioner--hand tighten for now. Now install the novel tensioner to the block. See below for assembly of the pulley as well as the misc. hardware. I forgot to snap a pic during the installation process, therefore yous larn this VERY unsmooth elbow grease at a 3D rendering.
Using a 14mm socket inwards your hand, like shooting fish in a barrel tighten the middle bolt attaching the pulley to the block (careful non to cross-thread, if yous experience resistance dorsum it out as well as examine again). The pulley setup should await similar it does below. Now withdraw the brass-colored slice that hangs off the pulley; 1 bolt (blue arrow) attaches it to the pulley. The pulley should instantly live costless to rotate, to a greater extent than on that later. You volition demand to withdraw this 1 so yous tin give the axe slide the novel belt on as well as volition reinstall it after on
17. Install the timing belt. Carefully slide the belt over the toothed sprockets, making certain that yous don't motion the sprockets. I institute it easier to wrap the large sprocket upwardly top first, so the smaller ones at the bottom, so or so the tensioner pulley. Be certain at that spot is no slack inwards the expanse outlined inwards yellow
18. Almost done. Now it's fourth dimension to position that brass-colored slice dorsum onto the pulley. See that hex hole inwards the pulley? Put an 8 mm allen fundamental inwards that hole, as well as trace clockwise. This volition allow yous to align the hole on the brass slice alongside the hole on the pulley so yous tin give the axe position the bolt through as well as tighten it up. Go dorsum as well as double cheque all the bolts for the tensioner as well as pulley, live certain they're all tight (no torque specs at the moment).
19. Make certain your setup looks similar below. If so, PULL THE PIN! (BTW, that's Just Dave's finger.....it's the best pic I could larn of him; he's really elusive when the photographic television set camera comes out :-)
20. With the belt as well as tensioner instantly properly installed, hand-crank the engine or so 1 total rotation to construct certain your MARKS on the top cam sprocket work upwardly at the same fourth dimension your grade on the bottom crank sprocket. Turn the bottom crank sprocket 1 total fourth dimension as well as larn dorsum to your master grade yous made earlier, if the bottom as well as top grade tally upwardly = everything is fine
21. That's it...reverse the physical care for as well as re-install all of the above. You create recall how it all went together, right? It is easier if yous but the bolts yous had taken off or loosened upwardly dorsum into the whole where they came from to arrive easier during reassembly
There, you've exactly saved yourself roughly $900 inwards project @ the stealership. All I inquire is that yous allow me know you've completed it successfully (hey, if yous desire to ship donations that's fine every bit good ;-)
