Hi Chrisfix I've got a seat ibiza 1. 4 tsi cupra on a 2010 plate it's only done 50, 000 miles on clock and when I start it first thing in the morning I'm getting a little rattling noise for about 5-10 seconds and it's got a timing chain and when the car is idling the engine is lovely no rattling at all on cold or hot just on first start for 5-10 seconds then it's lovely purring engine I'm a bit worried that the rattling noise might be my chain on first start up or could it be something else? as I've been told that timing chains especially on German cars last a very long time any ideas Chris?

Thanks for the video! Super clear and easy instructions! Exact same as my 03 wrangler. Quick question, so I just installed a new belt as Iv been having it squeaking. According to everything I have seen, I shouldn't be able to twist the belt up to half a turn or be able to deflect it more than 1/2. Mine definitely fails in both of those situations. How do you adjust the tension? In other videos it talks about adjusting it another way, but it doesn't seem to work the same at all on my jeep.

Hey Chris. My Wife's 02 Wrangler doesn't have that quick tension release to remove the belt. I have to adjust the Tension Pulley up and down. My question is. When I tighten it back up, how do I test the ideal Tension for the Belt. First it was squeaking because it was loose. Now it's squeaking because it's tight. Any help you can provide with this so I can stop that squeak would be godly. Thanks.

Perfect. I love your videos they're easy to understand. Some just talk about the process but don't even show it so I never know what to do. So far I've saved so much money replacing parts on my own thanks to your vids and some others'. Plus doing it myself is so much fun (well. my man helps me when I lack in strength or arm length because I'm small haha.

thanks this IS the easiest way to put on the belt too, with the idler last. you nailed the process. That square is a half-inch btw and at regular 1/2 inch socket wrench worked for me easily.
If your belt is squeaking change the idler pulley and the tensioner pulley. There literally a bolt each. Too easy. and cheap 50 total

just ordered the breaker bar from amazon, already have the waterpump that I plan on replacing along with a new belt. DO you think I should replace the idler pulley also since I'm already doing some other stuff too? Thanks for the vids they are clutch! Two thumbs up

My timing belt snapped on me, I was going uphill about 25 mph. The car just stopped dead, it didn't move till it was on the tow truck. Do you think I have engine damage? And about how much would it cost to repair the engine? 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander. 155, 000 miles

Thank you very much for posting this. I am tired of getting ripped off so I am doing my own work now. I didn't know the trick with the breaker bar in the tensioner. Thanks again! 2002 Jeep Wrangler

Thank you for the video sir! All the others seem to be for the 4 cyl engines, and I had to change mine (6 cyl) today and had no idea how to do it. Your vid made it simple.

This worked on 2002 Wrangler Sahara and a 1/2 empty socket did the trick. Other videos where so different with 15mm bolts? I was confused before this video. Thank you!
