Hi,
Thanks for stopping bye!
I started this channel so that my nephews could see what their Uncle does for a living... I quickly realized that it provides a couple of other benefits. It allows people to see what is involved in repairing a car and it shows the different types of tools that a Technician is required to have, in order for him or her to repair those cars.
As this channel grows, I'm hoping that it might help me with future tool purchases or help me catch up with my RRSP contributions.
If you have any VW / Audi technical questions you'd like an answer to, login to my Forum and post the question there:
exovcds.freeforums.org/
I don't know everything about VW / Audi (never worked at a dealership) and all their different Models & Engines etc., but
I'll do my best to help you with your question.
Thanks for watching me work!

Oh my gosh, that sounds terrible. Self destructive mode.
🤣 cable sounds like its made of broken glass
Amazon= either broken or doesnt fit application
Amazon is a direct pipeline from China. Same things from aliexpress, but with the next day delivery and return policies. The products...well...in this case what options do you have? A "top" quality snap-on is around 700$, that teslong is what? 100$? Me personally I'll take the teslong in this case. I did actually, I bought the swiveling head model at around 300$ compared to 1400$ vividia model. No regrets. 95% of the quality at 20% of the price?! I'll take that! Big brands should get their sh$t together with their prices. But they probably won't and they'll go down. It's the cycle of nature. Small-big-dead.
Most goosenecks do that.
The last 3 or 4 years there's been a big drop in quality. I return 25% of what I buy because it doesn't work right out of the box.
Glad see ya back Thomas you do great work help us out lot im very appreciated for ur knowledge an experience 👍
Amazon has a very good return policy.
Thanks Thomas for ur knowledge ur experience I buy my tools from local stores what about tic toc shop I do get good from ebay thanks Thomas pick fan my friend I guess harbor freight got broken tool return I think if does job I'm satisfied but break
I bought an Autel Maxicom MK808BT on Amazon. I was worried when I ordered it might be fake, but it seems to be the real thing. Works fine. (It's now $100 less than when I bought it).
I only purchase big brand at Amazon. I will go to local stores first.
Hi Thomas. Did you request a replacement? Sometimes lemons do exist but I have returned many items to Amazon either for refund or exchange and in addition to great delivery on the initial purchase, found that Amazon's after service is as close to worry free as could be. I agree that inferior quality is not acceptable. Hope you get a remedy to this situation.
I agree thanks friend for great advice 👍
There are very few things I buy from Amazon. Stopped my prime membership years ago. There's lots of startup companies were people are making stuff in their homes, and shipping them out. There's also companies who use 3D printers to make molds from similar items, and the quality is horrible. As far as tools, or name brand tools, I found out those companies usually don't honor their warranty since it's bought through Amazon, which in a lot of cases, are not an authorized dealer. The prices of Amazon have gotten more expensive as well. Car parts... Absolutely no way I'll order stuff from Amazon. As far as convenience goes, I find it more convenient to drive 15 minutes down the road and get what I need ASAP rather than waiting a couple of days. That's just based off where I live though which is a huge metropolitan area.
Maybe some lube of some kind will stop that noise.
I got coolant smoke coming out the vent above the radiators outside, could this be the cause?
@hanoszprime5431 Post a video on your channel so that I can see. There's a fresh air intake (for inside the van) above the radiator. If smoke is coming from there, then it could be the heater core inside the van. Remove the spare tire and look at the valve from under the van. If the valve is not leaking, then the smoke / steam is coming from inside... but it should also smoke / steam inside.
I love your videos. Thank you for sharing your experience and expertise ❤
Hi there, I'm looking for a video to show how to replace crankshaft seal (timing belt side) on a 1.9 TDI (BXE) engine. Apparently it needs a bespoke tool to hold the crank sprocket VW tool 3099? Have you ever done similar video? Or how to use that tool? Thanks.
I use something like this. 2 bolts hold it in place against the gear and then a long pry bar is used to hold the tool... while the bolt is turned / loosened. ONLY loosen or tighten the bolt while the timing belt is still in place!!!! shop.snapon.com/product/Specialty-Tools/Timing-Belt-Pulley-Holder-for-VW-Audi%C2%AE-%28Blue-Point%C2%AE%29/YA6760
@EXOVCDS thanks mate! Appreciate your reply. Will have to source that tool.. just cheaper eBay version Lol Shame there's no video on you tube someone actually doing that seal with proper vag tool
Good Idea! After draining you can cut a thread into the hole and put a screw with a washer into it.
A self tapping screw is all you need.
Thx Thomas!
Hey Thomas have you ever ran into an axle that will just not want to come out of the hub ? Every video I’ve seen of yours makes it look easy but I’ve been beating on this for a while and it will just not come out. Doesn’t look too rust and there’s no m10 holding the axle in place. Also the drivers side I was able to get out no problem but this is the passengers side I’m having the issue with. Any help would be appreciated thanks
Get a hub puller that fits your luggage bolt offset and press the shaftout. media.napacanada.com/is/image/GenuinePartsCompany/2029439?fmt=jpg&qlt=70
@@EXOVCDS you’re the man !!!!
Love it! When I was a teen I had a transparent plastic engine with a motor that you turn on and it would show the four cycle engine reciprocation. The ICE is an absolute marvel of science and engineering!
We've narrowed the problem down to this side of the garage.
👍👍👍 now immagine you're at 16k rpm on a sports bike and doing 300km/h sitting basically on the engine 🤪 Yeah baby!
I think I know why it doesn't start.
Hi I have a problem and need your help. I tried changing my t4 distributor but mistakenly broke the both crews 😮. I managed to get the old distributor out. While trying to get the broken screws out I damaged screw hole making it impossible to attach the new distributor to the engine. Am writing from Germany and my be t4 is Fuel engine 2.5 engine. 5 plugs. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you
How damaged is the screw hole? You can drill it out oversize and install a time-sert... to make it a 6mm threaded hole again (I think it's 6mm). If you can not do it yourself, you will need to phone a mobile mechanic or remove the cylinder head and take it to a machine shop.
@@EXOVCDS the hole is completely broken and cannot be drilled. It has to be welded. I wish I could send you some pictures to help you understand .
@ndlight4real You can post video on your channel. Machine shop can repair it.
Noice!
Which engine-code is it? Greetings from westy germany!
I'm sure you've seen coffee tables made out of old engine blocks, but it would be pretty cool to have one hooked up to an electric motor that you could use to turn it over at a slow speed
nice VW block. :)
My otc on plastic isn’t lined up with the mark on the sprocket
Year, make, model, engine? How are you checking for OTC / TDC?
@@EXOVCDS 95 Volkswagen cabrio mk3 .. from watching videos I see you have to line the otc mark with the marks on the pulley:. My otc mark on the plastic is at the top at like 12:00 and the mark on the pulley is around 830-9:00 .. so do I turn that by hand to line it up with the otc mark on the plastic?
@@sniperpaintcorrection6790 Yes, but you also have to make sure that the #1 piston is actually at TDC (all the way up) when the mark on the pulley is aligned with the mark on the cover. The crank gear can come loose with age and it can shift on the crankshaft... meaning that when you turn the engine to TDC via the mark on the pulley, when the pulley is at TDC, the crankshaft "might" not be... due to the shift of the gear. If the piston is all the way up (use a long screwdriver in the spark plug hole to find TDC) and the pulley mark is at TDC, then the crank gear is OK.
@@EXOVCDS so to get the #1 piston to TDC I have to rotate which pulley? The one that moves the distributor rotor?
@@sniperpaintcorrection6790 You have to check all 3. Camshaft, crankshaft & distributor. If the timing belt is still installed, rotate the crankshaft until the pulley TDC mark is lined up with the TDC mark on the lower timing belt cover. Once the crank pulley is at TDC, check the camshaft TDC mark. If the camshaft TDC mark is 180 out, then rotate the crankshaft 1 more full turn. Once the camshaft & crankshaft TDC marks are aligned, check the distributor to make sure that it is pointing at the #1 TDC slot in the distributor housing. Remove the distributor cap to see the rotor & TDC notch. If the cam TDC mark or the distributor rotor do not align when the crank is at TDC, you will have to move the cam or distributor (once the belt is off) to get all 3 to line up. Once all 3 are lined up, remove & replace the timing belt. Post a video on your channel, so that I can see when you have everything aligned... before you try and start the engine. Engine damage can occur if you do not line everything up correctly.
Hi Thomas thanks for all your content i greatly enjoy all of it. 1 question my dads VW died the other day when i tried to restart it would crank at all battery is good alternator not sure guessing the starter. When i turn the key i get a loud whiring sound so thinking the starter's mini flywheel isn't engaging the tranys fly wheel its an auto trans. Lastly I isolatated a knock sound its tapping the oil pan and changes upon acceleration my question is how difficult is it to change the lower rod bearings. i know you remove spark plugs and olny move the crank clock wise then turn the crank until the rod comes down disconnect the the bottom then wet sand with 1000 - 2000 grit replace the bearing with lots of oil lube, hand tighten new bolt then torque to spec the go to the next rod turning the crank till it drops down ect. Doesn't seem to difficult just time consuming am i on the right track? The car is a 2003 VW passat 1.8l turbo GL sedan with an AWM enginge. Im really sorry to ramble but ive looked over RUclips cant find anything but i trust you mostly let me know if im on the right track. Thank you very muck for any help and guidance 🙏✌️ P.S i have all tools needed for the job.
Yes, could be that the starter is spinning / not engaging the flywheel. Remove the starter and test it outside of the engine bay. 1.8T can be turned clockwise or counterclockwise. To remove the oil pan, you have to lower the subframe... which means that you have to support the engine from the top, so that the subframe can be lowered (engine mounts disconnected from subframe). Once the oil pan is out of the way, you can inspect the connecting rods. You will also have to remove the front bumper and move the radiator assembly into "service position" (six inches away from the engine).
@@EXOVCDS thanks I appreciate it. FYI I live in an apartment maintenance knows I work on cars here KIND OF wink wink. Take care thanks again🙏✌️
I believe the earth is flat. I'm not saying I'm right, I'm just saying that it's my belief based on things I can see, feel, and measure.. I understand what you are saying in this, however, I can't understand how, on a perfectly still lake, of massive size, like many many KMs, you can run a laser level on it and it's perfectly flat. The other thing I really don't get is plane flights. You should be able to hover and wait for the spin to take you somewhere else, but no, the atmosphere spins with the earth? Well then reality should be that you can never reach a destination by flight. Either you are going against the atmospheric rotation, which would be equal to trying to fly through a brick wall in a coke can, or you are having to fly with it, which means, unless you are flying faster than the rotation, which would be over 1000 miles per hour to gain any distance at all, you wouldn't be moving anywhere... Right? I'm very happy to be shown why I'm wrong if anyone has the patience. 🕊️
Photos and videos from Satellites & ISS show globe Earth. Fact. Amazon rocket took normal citizens to edge of space where they saw curvature. Fact. Read science books to answer your questions.
@@EXOVCDS you didn't answer my questions either. So you don't know right.
@EmilyW.isawakenotwoke I know that astronauts are orbiting around the earth... live video from ISS shows earth. Basic science & physics can be used to prove globe model. MANY videos on youtube showing how. Watching stars & moon from different locations on earth, confirms globe model. Wake up!
Imagine thinking that pixels on a screen was your globe proof for drop over distance curvature of earth in reality, Oof
Imagine being as stupid as thinking the Earth was flat.
Terrible video
As questions if you need help.
You removed just the alternator to do this?
@sniperpaintcorrection6790 Yes, timing belt does not need to be removed IF you are replacing the complete water pump (with housing). If you are only replacing the water pump face (with he housing mounted to the blok), then you have to remove the timing belt and other components. As you can see from the video, replacing the complete unit is quite straightforward. You can remove the whole assembly and then swap out the pump face on a work bench. Sometimes the mounting bolts for the pump face break, so you might as well replace the whole unit.
@@EXOVCDS thank you, my timing belt needs to be replaced so the kit I ordered comes with water pump, I believe no housing , so figured I do that and the thermostat since I have the parts
@sniperpaintcorrection6790 Hopefully none of the wp bolts will break.
Can turning the belt (top pulley) by hand damaged anything inside the engine? A friend was turning with some force to see if the belt was chewed up . Which it was. But I’m hoping nothing is bent or damaged. I have a 95 mk3 cabrio
The belt can skip if the engine is turned by the camshaft bolt. It is best to turn the engine via the 19mm crankshaft bolt. These engines can bend valves when cam / crank timing is too far out.
@@EXOVCDS yes we were cranking the engine by key to see if the rotor would get spark ..I think the belt did do some jumping . Hoping. I didn’t damage anything
Hey man amazing video! still helping 11 years later 👍
Thank you for watching!
Did you by chance make a vid doing this job on a pd130 golf?
Procedure is the same. Remove belt, remove pulley, install pulley, install belt. Raise / lower the engine if need be. This should be similar. ruclips.net/video/AkbSEiQ5E-c/видео.html Yes / no?
Did you watch the other video? Similar to your engine? Yes / No?

Dropped a tool down in behind the glove box . How do I get it out?
Look for it with a borescope, then use a long flex magnet to retrieve it.
Any luck?
How can I not find a video of it being removed! 🤣
Do you know whether this is the same procedure for an Audi A4 B5 1.9tdi Motor-Code AHH? Is it the same pump? Built-year: 1999
If the engine has an injection pump that is driven by the timing belt, then there is no pump in the tank. If there is no injection pump that s driven by the timing belt, then there is a low pressure fuel pump in the fuel tank. Gasoline & diesel fuel pumps are different. Procedure is similar.
Can you put a light on please. I can’t see a damned thing. 🧐
Look at your distributor and your service manual... otherwise, asking questions would be more helpful to you. I don't know what you are trying to fix / do. Simple points adjustment? Engine won't start? Engine won't crank? Lack of power?
@@EXOVCDS All good now. I wasn’t getting spark and there must have been a connection problem within the distributor. Used your technique and cleaned and reconnected the components, regapped points and changed out condenser. She now runs. Thanks 👍
@inthelandofmilkandhoney457 thank you for the update!
I have a 2006 beetle 2.5 hatchback with a non operating radiator fan. The engine has never overheated even when driving longer distances. Weird. My temp light on the dash works so Im puzzled. I believe this is the reason my AC is not working but I will check these connections before ordering the very expensive single fan with the control module. Can I check the control module itself? I had FCP euro check the proper fan control module with my VIN but sadly was not the one as mine is the module attached to the single fan.
Watch this for testing steps. ruclips.net/video/oqdv4cm86Ns/видео.html
Fighting with trying to remove the DRL on my wife's 2011 VW Mk6 Jetta. Can't get the darn thing out so will most likely have to pull the bumper off and remove the headlight to get at it. While resting I removed the coolant level connector on the expansion bottle because Thomas said to do this stuff and it was right in front of my face. Guess what? Connector housing was full of coolant. Then I remembered that I had to replace this bottle 2.5 years ago. Ran down to O'Reilly's and bought whatever they had on hand. No telling how long this coolant migration has been going on. I just ordered a OEM replacement from ECS. Thanks Thomas for all your great advice.
Thank you for watching!
