How to replace the timing chain of the Volkswagen Jetta 1.4 TSI

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 6, A6 - Years 2010-2018
Part: Timing belt

Today's information will allow us to disassemble and replace the timing chain of the Volkswagen Jetta 1.4 TSI. For the disassembly of the timing chain, in this specific case, the entire engine block is removed, therefore removing the bumper and frame; to access the timing chain, it will be necessary to remove the cylinder head cover and the distribution side cover, then taking the necessary references for the subsequent timing of the engine. We install the new original timing chain, also replacing the water pump kit, following the video tutorial until the end!
