2.0t tsi tfsi critical Balance Shaft Timing chain repair Audi VW 1.8t caeb ccta !every 8 rotations! 

It's a 7:1 ratio, you do not have to remove the gear to align it properly, just take the chain off and spin that gear set until it's on the timing mark. Great video and love that you cut the block to show the internals 🤘

I find this funny. Just follow the normal procedure for chains on a ccta and put everything at tdc, when you re time the motor your using the colored links on the chain. You're making it wayyy more difficult than ot actually is.

Great demonstration by cutting away the part of the block showing how the balance shaft can be out of time! I’m looking to reseal the leaky head cover on my mk7 gti and I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole regarding timing and whatnot with these ea888 engines. Great videos, thank for the help!

I understand what you’re saying but it’s not correct. The VW repair manual doesn’t mention any of it either. The two balance shafts rotate together so their weights have to be rotating together where you put the weight doesn’t matter. As long as the dot on the inlet balance shaft sits in between the two dots on the sprocket and the copper links are on the dots on both balance shafts, those balance shafts will then be working in perfect harmony with each other. If what you said was correct then everytime you turned the engine off you would have to turn it off so that the weight on the balance shaft is downwards, which makes no sense. Bottom line is: if it’s all in time, it will rotate in perfect harmony with no vibration.

How to correctly do a timing chain...the world may never know 🤔

U can time the balance shaft u juste remouve the gear and put the timing marks at the right place and its good

Can I ask a question im regbuilding my cczb engine re using the old balance shafts but the spur gear on the inlet side is meant to replaced due to back lash limits as new ones are coated. Do you replace? I can set back lash by moving it slightly but whats a good setting ive got it a 0.2mm has slight play..just seems stupid to replace for back lash if you can set it.any help welcomed

There are timing marks you can line up on the intake side balance shaft pulleys

You should be a teacher. You articulate it well. You are better to understand than most I’ve seen on you tube!🤙🏽

Why do the shafts screens get clogged...carbon? Why do the seize?.....

I think everyone who has worked on one of these engines really appreciates the part of the video where you start hammering on the engine,

These videos are priceless! Thank you.

This helped me a lot, thank you, the only difference is my shaft aligns every 7 turns, but i worked great

this is very helpful thank you

Thank you so much- I had no idea about this and would have certainly screwed up this critical timing point.. pure luck I found this video

Thank you so much for the brilliant explanation!!!

Your awesome thanks for the help fixing my kids car 👍

thank you so much for proper video you saved my day ❤️

Thanks for your videos ! ❤❤❤

Super thank you very much I'm ready to do my balancer shafts now too
