Weve been sending these to the main dealer purely down to the fact of how much the equipment costs and we barely get any of these engines in
And if something did go bang it's coming out of the dealers wallet
There is no need for such a complicated engine in a family car

Great vid. Explains a lot. My Octavia 1.5 TSI ACT is on 90k and although the new recommended mileage change is 135k (or never😂) I’m going to get it done at 100k for peace of mind. Škoda have quoted me £995 but a local independent appears to have the tool and is doing it for £650 which seems to be a decent price. 6.5 hours labour apparently as well.

How do you slacken the camshaft sprockets if there’s not locking tools for the engine?

What would happen if you locked the crank, marked the cam pulleys, swapped the belt putting it back on as it came off?

Hi is the crank pully floating or has it got a keyway ?

What’s the interval on the phase 2 1.5 engine (the one with no dipstick?). Had one in a company golf and superb in both cases great on fuel powerful quiet. Oddly more efficient in the dsg superb rather than the manual golf.

Hi there, great video and channel 😊,  I've just brought an audi a1 1.4tfsi 150cod, the cambelt was done by a small independent, would  they have needed to have that special cam timing tool as is needed on the 1.5's.....thank's.

Is this is a wet belt or just normal timing belt

Nice video, but why no engine codes or year in the description? I'm pretty sure this is the same engine as in my colleague's 2019 Tiguan 1.5 TSI with engine code DACB. Auto data says 160,000 miles, but no time interval, so that does tie in with what you say in some comments.

When changing the front crankshaft seal on 1.5 tsi DXD is it necessary to change timing belt and engine oil? Oil was changed 300 km ago but I have to change the seal now. Thnx

Hello. What's the interval for changing the belt? Is it lifetime or how often would you chance it?

My golf 8 1.5 130hp how many km i must change timing belt

Hi. Do you need ODIS to run this software for the tool or is it another piece of software that’s required? Thanks

Hi, thanks for the video, it’s great.
I have a question, does this engine use a dry or wet belt? Thanks

Good evening, I have a Golf 1.5 tsi in the workshop, I built its engine and imported it from Belgium, I would like to know if it is necessary to use this tool to assemble the timing belt.

I recently bought skoda superb with 1.4tsi ACT. SKODA dealer told me that timing belt for my car  interval is 15 years or 140k miles. Car has 46k miles at the moment. Should i listen skoda and dont touch the belt until 140k?

How are these engines holding up? Any unusual problems, or the same old typical VW stuff (water pump leaks, carbon build up, etc.).

Hi mate! Thanks for the video. I have a (maybe strange) question though. If I saw it correctly, there’s oil on the metal gears, where the belt is installed on. Is this normally there too, or was it there because of the replacement job? I was wondering if this is gonna affect the materials of the timing belt if the enige is running and the oil swirling around over the belt. I am far from a Mechanic but I find it interesting since I have a Golf with this engine. Cheers!

Hi, is this the engine that a Skoda Kamiq 1.5 TSI has? Cheers

Heard about these bad boys suppose tipex is out of the question 😂
