Timing belt replacement Skoda Octavia 1.6 diesel 2008-2015

This How TO video will take you step by step through the process of replacing the timing chain the correct way. The car is a 2012 SKoda Octavia with a 1.6 litre diesel engine, but it's similar to many WAG cars; Passat, Golf, Polo, Caddy, Touran, Tiguan and several others.

It's a job which is important to get correctly executed especially with the tension of the timing belt and the position of the timing, which many guides skip the essential parts of.

You should have a good mechanical understanding before performing this job since it one of the most critical systems on your engine. A faulty repair can lead to total engine failure.
