Hello all

I'm planning to change my cam belt and water pump imminently.

I've read the Haynes manual and also found the video below.

The Haynes is a generic 'Octavia diesel' manual, and the video is for a VW 2.0 tdi.

I'm reasonably confident with the procedure, based on these two guides, but just wanted confirmation from someone who has done the job that the video is accurate?

Many thanks

Phil

I understand having the correct lock pins / tools is a huge advantage also.

PM me your engine code (or reg number) and an email address, I'll send you the official instructions tomorrow

the correct tools to lock the cam, crank and fuel pump make the job vastly easier.
