Hello,

New member here.

I am changing the timing belt, timing belt tensioner and water pump on my daughter's 04 Golf today. How better to spend New Years?

I was searching for torque specifications and details regarding the tensioner when I found this site and was impressed with the write ups.

Although this site is for diesel and hers is gas there are many similar parts.

Welcome! Be careful because you're working on a gas model, I don't have the torque specs for it.

Welcome to the forum. welcometomyturbodies

Well if you can post more engine spec on this my daughter's 04 Golf, engine size, engine number I will post your torque specs.

Happy New Year.

Daughter's Golf is a 2004 2.0L gas engine. Very nice car. Midnight blue metalic as well, 5 speed manual, mint shape. Got everything back on today. Will rotate crank tomorrow and fill with antifreeze etc... Water pump was leaking. 72K on car. Only bolt I could not torque was the one on the mount to engine with insufficient clearance for torque wrench. I am beat now. Will finish tomorrow...match marked the old belt and timing belt pulleys...all seems good.

Plans to purchase another VW and would like a diesel.

Have a GM Suburban with the 6.5L diesel and it is the best vehicle I have ever owned.

Well the only one that comes back is Volkswagen Golf (03-08) 2,0 FSI 2004-04 Engine code: AXW

Which has a timing belt and a timing chain.

Crankshaft pulley bolts. Use new bolts.
Tighten crankshaft pulley bolts. Tightening torque: 10 Nm + 90°.
Tighten tensioner nut. Tightening torque: 23 Nm.

Tighten RH engine mounting bracket bolts. Tightening torque: 45 Nm.

Engine mounting bolts Fig.18. Tightening torque: 20 Nm + 90°.
Engine mounting bolts Fig.17. Tightening torque: 40 Nm + 90°.
Engine mounting bolts Fig.19. Tightening torque: 60 Nm + 90°.

Without seeing the picture you will have to work out the torque for each mounting bolt by its size 18 is the smallest and 19 is the largest.
