I've never replaced a timing chain before so this is a massive challenge, especially on a neglected 1.2 tsi engine. As I delve deeper into the engine I'm finding more problems. Can I actually pull it off and replace the timing chain or is the engine knackered.
Hopefully, I can pull it off and actually fix the engine faults, The EPC and Engine light are on, but The engine has a misfire, Is the timing chain stretched or is it knackered.

Mate.. get rid of those pipes infront of the cam wheel/pulley that are constantly in the way. And for the love of god, support the engine and remove that engine mounting. Your life will become so much easier. Well done for trying and taking it on.

@timknight7394 5 месяцев назад

I was thinking the exactly same thing

@RevivingSalvage 5 месяцев назад

Yeah you’re right but I was trying to minimise the amount of parts to remove including draining the coolant system. Hopefully 🤞 there’s no more issues

@RevivingSalvage 5 месяцев назад

I was too but didn’t want the extra work lol 😂

@scottydale5305 5 месяцев назад

Sometimes it's much easier to add a bit more work than to struggle. Draining and refilling the cooling system is no trouble and won't take long. Having the ability to raise and lower the engine a little with a jack (I realise the sump is off so you'll have to be creative) will help you. For example, your gun would probably have undone that crankshaft pully bolt. Unfortunately you lost all the torque by using an extension. I'm enjoying watching but it pains me to see you struggle when you don't need to. I will always do a little more work if it means less struggling. What I will add though, your attention to detail and trying your best are great qualities. You do good work, so well done. Hat's off to you.

Nightmare! That car is fighting you every step of the way! Look forward to the next video, keep up the good work. The time spent editing shows too, strong work!

@RevivingSalvage 5 месяцев назад

I’m hoping it’s going to be a cracking car when it’s finished if I don’t scrap it first lol. I’m glad you enjoyed the video I’m trying new things and getting a little bit more confident on camera, it always looks like I’m in a mood lol 😂

@robswanson1040 5 месяцев назад

@@RevivingSalvage The amount that car has wound you up, the mood is entirely understandable mate!

@williammatthews9131 5 месяцев назад

Same as someone else posted...smash /break the tensioner guide, then use the "irwin" type rounded nut remover to remove the "m "bolt...youve got the tools...just apply the right knowledge.. good luck to you, you will get it sorted😊

@eamon724 5 месяцев назад

Yeah break off the guide and use a stud extractor, the type that goes over the stud like a socket

@doctorx8467 5 месяцев назад

smash tensioner, then use molegrips to loosen, only way i can think of tbh, or easy out bolt extractor

@RevivingSalvage 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the advice I don’t really want to break anything if I can help it but a nice big sledgehammer might do the trick lol 😂

@vespamorelli7090 5 месяцев назад

You’ve a stout heart to keep on going ! Fair play to you 👏🏻👏🏻 Good quality pair of vice grips & plenty of heat might get you out of a hole 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@wayne3790 5 месяцев назад

Brilliant video as always mate, thank you so much!! 👍 Love how honest your videos are. When you watch some other videos it’s edited to make it look like a piece of cake & makes you feel like you’re doing something wrong when you’re struggling. I really really admire you mate!!! I do a lot more mechanical work on cars after being inspired by you, thank you so much!! Why don’t they just use ordinary bolts instead of torx etc?! 🤦‍♂️ I swear it’s done intentionally so you’ll round them off forcing you to buy new ones every time they’re taken out!! All the best to you & the family mate 🙏 Best of luck with the Audi 🙏🤞

@oliverhworld1164 5 месяцев назад

smash the guide mate and try irwin bolt extractor hammered on to it, or if you can get a jack hammer with a new sharp chisel to spin it have to be careful just like a air hammer

@neilg3364 5 месяцев назад

Are you using a spline bit instead of a triple square (xzn)

@byronwilson6036 5 месяцев назад

Mole grips would probably work to loosen them. Looks like a right nightmare.

@RevivingSalvage 5 месяцев назад

Yeah that’s definitely an option thanks for the advice. The joys of working on cars lol 😂

hi mate, halfords have a lifetime warranty, so deffo take your ratchet back, you should get a replacement for free. also love the vids and ive bought a raffle ticket!

After knock a bigger multi spline it be a pain but will go

@therealspixycat Месяц назад

Could it be that a guide for the oil pump chain is completely missing? Saw another may more recent 1.2 3 cyl vw engine that has these

@evieemaya88 2 месяца назад

Great video pal. 🎉🎉🎉 Can I ask, you say you have never done this job before. How did you know how to do, are you using some type of learning resource?? Thanks

@RevivingSalvage 2 месяца назад

No I have no experience, I’m no mechanic, that’s all I do is watch a RU-vid video or read a work shop manual, and just have the confidence to give it a go! You can be surprised what you can do if you just try.

@evieemaya88 2 месяца назад

@@RevivingSalvage great thanks for this. So with this job did you just learn via RU-vid, or did you have manual? If so can you tell us what manual you used?

@RevivingSalvage 2 месяца назад

@evieemaya88 I just watched a few videos on RU-vid but there wasn’t much but I could peace together roughly how to do it I haven’t got a manual for the VW. If you’re looking for manuals then easy manuals is a good one to buy and download

@danielsellers8538 5 месяцев назад

@RevivingSalvage 5 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed buddy, yeah I will be trying to extract those pesky bolts in the next episode

@daveadi2768 5 месяцев назад

That peg will come out but they are stepped down inside the torx bit you are using was too big I paused the vid to try and show you but can’t figure out how to send you the screenshot

@RevivingSalvage 5 месяцев назад

They aren’t a torx fitting their a M spline but either way ive striped the inside lol 😂 hopefully in the next episode i can remove them. Thanks for watching 👀
