We show you installing a cylinder head and timing our 2.0t TSI engine. This vehicle was purchased non running, and we made the assumption it needed a cylinder head due to timing chain or chain tensioner failure. We go over some disassembly of the TSI engine in video 1 of this new series. We also show you specifics on the locations of the timing marks on the gears and chains for the 2.0t TSI, and there are a bunch of them!

sir,can i replace the lower chain tensioner(black screw one plug in from the outside)from the out side by just screw it in screw it out,and won't mess up the timing. Or maybe that lower chain guide tensioner isn't often fail and i can't find a video about it.

First off I absolutely love your videos!!Please help! I’m working with rebuilding the same engine. After washing parts in the wash machine I noticed this in the pan afterwards. Could you tell me what it is and what’s it does and where it goes? Thanks so much!! Here is the picture ibb.co/f119xCW

Your videos (and HM's) have been very helpful to me over the past couple weeks while I work on my TSI engine project. I removed my engine to work on the bent valves so that I could easily access bolts and then retorque them easily when reassembling. It was wonderful to have access to everything when removed. One word of helpful wisdom I would like to pass along to you, and to the viewers, is when using sealants as you did in this video, use temporary studs in a couple bolt holes so that when you set/place the "valve cover" or timing cover down, the studs guide the part directly into proper position without wiggling or movement. I make studs out of old bolts by cutting-off the heads. Remove the studs when in place, and install the proper bolts all around. Thanks Again for the great helpful information.

@highvoltage454 5 лет назад

Those little grooves cut in the cover right by the bearing surfaces do not require sealant, those are cut as reliefs for excess sealant to squeeze into from the main sealant grove around the cover, they are there to prevent sealant from getting into the bearing surface.

@psiturbo Год назад

Before slapping the valve cover on, momentarily install the cam bridge that it is flush with the cylinder head. Sometimes after complete installtion of cams and cover, the camshafts will be slightly off and the bridge will NOT sit flush. You will have to untighten everything, the sealant will break loose from the valve spring pressure compromising the seal and having to re-apply everything torque etc.

@deadpossum462 4 года назад

I just replaced my MK VI Timing chains and used this video as one of my references. Thanks! I do notice that my engine sounds louder than it should. More of a growl.... Think that has something to do with improper lineup of the balance shaft or maybe something else that didn't get reinstalled properly?

@larryderuyscher4448 5 лет назад

First, thanks for all the videos, they are a great help to me. I’m currently changing the chains on my 09 gti and I didn’t prime my balance shaft chain tensioner with oil. Will I need to disassemble and do this or can I just prime the tensioner by cranking the engine without the plugs in?

@toothferrin 5 лет назад

@MrBradHooker 5 лет назад

How would you check for cam journal clearance.seems like that whimpy cover would wear or warp and cause excessive tolerance. I love the engine in my 18 GTI ,but this seems like a bad design just waiting for failure.The cams need a proper cap that can be torqued with the cam out then measured for clearance.

@petar443 5 лет назад

@Keepin-it-wheel101 5 лет назад

I replace the hydraulic tensioner but I did not use any oil or got air out as you recommended during the video. I believe I crank the engine before the first start but don't remember. Should I be concern with the timing?

@teleios 4 года назад

Great write up and video! You were able to lower the engine in through the top - do you just bolt in and attach gearbox or did you have to over-lower engine, attach gearbox, then lift and bolt to mounts?

@vwjet357 3 года назад

a shop put regular grey RTV on the cam cover, to seal it and now its leaking. Or seeping around the cam cover/RTV area i should say. Would it be better to have the work redone, with an anaerobic sealant?

@daveknapp2000 5 лет назад

Have you ever done a video on say "smog tune" and then a "mpg tune"? Is it possible to have these two tunes available on an obd11 and switch between them when necessary? Nice job and enjoyed the video: 2010 vw cc owner....with many of the issues you have covered. Wish you would have talked about good things to replace while doing the timing chain...vvt solenoid/valve and front main oil seal with Teflon aka ptfe rubber as last longer...??? anything else?

Pretty sure you are not supposed to seal the inner grooves only the outer one. You are also only supposed to use a very very small amount of the sealant as to not get into the inner grooves. The inner grooves are for oil flow.

Hi, I recently did a timing belt change. I noticed on turning the engine as recommended, the cam and crank shafts marks were never lined up. They were like 3-5mm off. Pls will there be any effect when I start the engine? Did you reuse the head bolts in the cause of your installation? What's is the disadvantages of reusing the old head gasket bolts. Thanks

@trancemiro 5 лет назад

Looking at this video it does not look like one has to worry about messing up timing if only resealing cam girdle. Looks like you just need to make sure that everything stays locked and cams and chain doesn't move. Am i corect or im missing something?

@michelsaikalis6691 4 года назад

Great Video. One question! The VW manual, page 137 "Apply sealant onto clean sealing surface of cylinder head cover, as shown in illustration -arrows-. So the picture shown only 3 sides (perimeter) and around the spark plugs only. Your video includes the small grooves next the bolt holes. Advice.

@stael123s 4 года назад

Those grooves next to the bolt holes should not be sealed, they are there to lead any excess sealant away from the cam bearings.

@cliveyoung3619 4 года назад

hey guys i have used and reference this video several times and noticed for the first time you are putting flange sealant in the wrong location. You do NOT put flange sealant in ' all the groves". the grooves by the cam journals are a relief so any extra sealant from the cover goes there and NOT towards the cam journals. Sorry if this is a repeated comment.

@marcschneider6510 3 года назад

Question: if I rotate engine until both chain marks are lined up at top with the cam marks, is it always true that the marks on the crank and the balancing shafts will also be aligned? Or is this only true on initial installation? I have a situation where I believe I have identified that my crank and balancing shafts are out of time with the Cam’s. If you have an email, I am sending photos with markup.

Just a question, We cant use the same bolt twice right? I had my valve changed because a sparkplug tip broke into the cylinder hence why the misfire. Did a compression test and yea 0 psi pressure in piston 3 So i had a cylinder head out to change the valves.. replace all gasket and seals, when time to put everything back on the..the cylinder head bolt broke!!!! And it was the last far right bolt. It broke after 70lbs torque ( the extra 90 degree)

I've done covers before but with the other crap that comes on the 2.0 I didn't want to risk messing this one up. I would love to get another 10 years/ 100k out of it. I want to see it hit at least 200k and I know I need to get the tensioner and chain done soon. It's not ticking or going out but just as a precation. I have 125k on mine

@rype36 5 лет назад

How strong are 2.0t pistons and rods

@gurenmk5047 5 лет назад

856XerXes the rods in the engine are pretty weak along side with the bolts. The ribs are about 2 1/2 inches thick and are not harden, just cheap cast iron which also makes up the pistons. The pistons are more durable in design but if your timing is off you have a high probably of your pistons becoming powder and your rods most likely breaking off from the bolts that hold in place on the crank, the bolts are pretty wimpy and thin as well. So timing, guid rail(none updated dated rails are known to crack after 40-80k miles most of the time), chain tensioner(none updated parts don’t have spring to prevent timing slip in cold start or if engine is low on oil) and proper seal is important. So to answer your question not that strong, recommend Max hp on them would be about 350 before you start stressing them out. If you feel a wobble at about 4-5k rpm and it’s gets worse and it isn’t your tires, or misfires, or studders, sometimes loss of power then you most likely having timing issues.

@gurenmk5047 5 лет назад

TRiBaL81 at 80-90k miles just as preventive maintenance and tune up, I would suggest replacing the chains and guid rails especially if they aren’t the update parts. The old chains have a tendency to stretch out, especially on the upper chain. The rails I would also change at the same time as well, the older ones are also more prone to wear out on top of the rails were the chain sits or break in specific stress points of the rails. The newer ones will last much longer and the newer chains won’t stretch out as much or at all just because how the new ones are designed compared to the old ones. I’ve already replace my engine 2 times on my b8 avant cause of timing chain issues killing my engine both engines “check” and replaced by Audi from 2 different Audi locations. So it can be a big issue, not the first time I’ve seen golfs, a3s and Tiguans that use the same ea888 engines that have failed timing and cause minor(can still be used but could replace some parts) to total engine failure. If you hear light to low rattling like something is lose or like marbles in a bag, could be your timing. So check throughly. They are good cars if you take good care of them, I still have my avant(third engine) with Integrated engineering internals and updated timing and rails and tensioners. Runs like a dream.

Since I had my timing chain done on my vw scirocco tsi it has not sounded the same. Cold start up strange vibrating rattling noise and all sorts

When did you have this done and how does it feel different, especially when you are driving?

@ironman3749 5 лет назад

Same here, my scirocco TSI 2.0l has been in the garage for a week after a timing chain and tensioner job. They are still trying to figure out how to correct the timing. The engine is shaking and idles very rough. I mean is it just as easy as lining up the markings on the chain?

@@gurenmk5047 had it done last September and it doesn't feel different driving it just makes a vibrating rattling noise on start up for exactly a minute.. I have been back to the garage 3 times and they said it's down to injectors

@gurenmk5047 5 лет назад

gavin1980 cosgrove oh well there you go, I use to have a similar issue as well when my intake manifold, the threads inside the intake part of the head stripped and my cause was shaking pretty bad and back firing a lot as cool as it was I had to fix it. So I hope everything goes well

On the head cover you are not supposed to put sealant in the short grooves by the cam journals.
