I've learned from this video that most German cars are a big pain in the ass. At the same time, I gotta respect the engineers for designing special parts and tools because if you want to drive a working German car, then you have to pay the money for the tools and parts. Great business to be a pain in the ass as the con of foreign cars.

@cheeseburga I totally agree. Japanese cars can be a pain, too. The best are big American pickup trucks with a large engine bay under the hood!

Thanks. I worked on an Audi once and it was very complicated.

@YeechBlitz Nice tutorial man.... I am a garage mechanic too! I only work on my 07 4runner though.... My sister in-law has one of these Jetta that she just bought and the Head Gasket Blew on her not even 3 months after buying the car.... Looks like it will cost her a arm and a leg to fix... Lol i am not even going to try to do this for here looks like about 3hours of straight work!

@inbloom97 Actually, it took us a day and half. About 10 or 12 hours total, including breaks and all.

sisacole32: It is a 10mm 6-point polydrive VW & Audi Head Bolt Tool. Our is from Mac Tools, Part No. SC-175. A quick internet search should come up with it.

What is the torque specs on the cam bearing caps? I'm working on a 2002 jetta 2.0 with the similar problem and this video has help save my pocket book and a trip to a pricey shop. Thanks alot and keep doing whatcha do. My polydrive tool came from Bap Geon auto parts $24

@cheeseburga

Actually... its the "child lock" principle. A nice easy way to prevent people like you messing with their finely crafted engineering.

at the end, sometime after market will not work on manufacture spec. that's why i always stick with fel-pro gasket.

What website did you use to find the '6 pointed german contraption'? What size would it be for a Jetta 2.0 2002? Please and Thank you

Cheapest one I found was from metalnerd com it was 20 bucks

Great video Mr. Samberg. Only thing I reccomend is marking the timing belt teeth to make sure you've got them placed correctly, jump a tooth and you're going to be in the engine again!
