I have a timing belt and waterpump to change on my wife's 10 year old 180000 mile Tiguan next weekend.
I don't have a Haynes manual for this car.
You tube videos are good but I've very poor reception in the garage.
Can anyone point me towards a step by step document for doing this?, if it came with illustrations and torque settings all the better.
TIA

Depends on your engine code but a quick search would bring up loads of info.
Is it a common rail or pd engine?

There are methods online to download youtube videos for offline playback, or youtube premium also offers this service? worth doing if you've found a helpful video

It's not free but you can pay to get dealer level instructions from VW, I saw it on Volkswizards latest vid where he services a TT.

I believe thats the link - https://erwin.volkswagen.de/erwin/showHome.do

Failing that ask a local garage if they have Autodata - in exchange for some Hob nobs!

Got it done. Watched a few YouTube videos beforehand and it was quite straightforward.

Nice work, did you use locking tools?

Bargain, what mileage did you change it at? My cr140 Scirocco was done before I got it around 125k, it's now done 144k, was only 2 years ago.

It's 10 years old with 181000 miles on it now. 1st belt was done around 100000 about 5 years old. Noticed it was losing a little coolant and obvious sign of fluid leak on the bottom belt cover so figured it was about due another change.
