It’s great how this guy can just get in there and get this done without any of the timing Chain tool set. Making it looks so easy. I’ve got all the expensive tools and still have a hell of a timing getting these timing chains to line up. GREAT JOB GUY !!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
My 16 year old just bought a 2011 Audi A4 in excellent condition inside and out with 183,000 miles on it and 1 owner. Thanks to your videos I was able to do my first timing chain job with no hiccups. The car did have the newer style tensioner in it and all the rails looked good but I am much happier knowing it’s updated with the new style rails. Thanks again for the videos so we perform these jobs at home and save a bunch of money.
I just needed to see how it was to remove the lower timing cover. Thanks for part 1 and part 2. I learned something new and will being fixing it later in the weekend. Dumb brother of mine wrecked his car so now I gotta fix it.
That little O-ring on the turbo is nasty. Thanks for the great videos. Wife's 2016 is running again. All timing chain components replaced, however cylinder misfire still exists codes still showing up. Thinking that has to be injectors. I know that you have a great video of removing intake but have not yet found a good one for the reinstall.
Yes, I have completed the whole job, but I am stumped on how to get that o-ring to stay in the slot when installing the charge tube flange. Anyone have any tips to do this?
@@funkygators9057 if you can't get your wife to hold the top in place while you put the rest of it in place, a lot of people recommended using a little grease to hold it in place.
I've had a mysterious oil leak for just about a year since the shop did my timing job on my Tig. Nailed it down to the inner CV boot right near the balance shaft tensioner bolt. I bet they forced some tool into the boot to get to the tensioner bolt and caused the smallest tear to make this bitch leak. After replacing it today, the boot was near empty compared to what came out of a new tube of grease for it. Unbelievable, but I can see why if they don't improvise like you did with tools, they'd just force somethin to get the job done.
hi very good videos i have seen from you! One thing that this motor made me crazy was checking that when you put everything on marks to assemble the chains, piston 1 is supposed to be ready to explode with the spark. If you see the position of the admision camshaft the cams are ready to open the inlet valves. Its strange. Or is it that the engine is marked according to piston 4?
Oh sweet job see OBD11 confirms no angle between the crank/cam .. so this job can be done without draining the oil.. nice !! I’m gonna do this before the end of the year.. Nap on those black main tensioner t30 bolts I’d like to replace them.. I don’t see them as black in the FCP kit? Are they a specific Audi only part? Great job on the transaxle.. and your good with just impacting in the crank bolt.. everyone says 150 Nm + 90° with the counter hold tool.. I’m not doubting you but is the crank bolt tight enough?
Is it possible to time the lower timing chain without removing the lower tensioner?? I’m having a heck of a time finding a socket that fits in that tight little area.
Great video. I’m planning this job now for my Beetle with 110k. Do you have an opinion on where to purchase timing chain kit? The VW parts are $$$$ but I don’t want to take any chances.
I know this isn’t anything to do with this video, but my b8 A4 is misfiring and running really rough on idle, as well as a very strong gas smell. Drove perfect the night before this happened. Replaced coils, plugs. Hooked up my obd2 scanner and watched the live readings, and my fuel rail pressure is goin from 3400kpa to 6100 kpa. Is that normal, also what else should I look into? The only codes I’m getting is random cylinder misfire, misfire cylinder 1,4 and every now and then cylinder 2.
This is why in our salty rusty climate I always tell customers to steer completely away from VW's. I have a customer that just spent $1500 at VW to replace a front strut; now she is being told she will have to fork out another $2000 to replace her timing chain on a 2016 Tiguan. Yeah German 'engineering'.
I know this is an old thread but I can answer this from experience. I had mine done about a year ago. The shop charged me $900.00 or so for the labor and I bought the parts from Dap Auto Parts for around $500 or $600. I didn't order a kit per say but did want a genuine VW chain and tensioner, the guides were Vaico or some other VW approved brand. Someone advised me on making sure to get the genuine VW chain and tensioner because both were the newest updated ones. The chain was strengthened to prevent stretching. Regular 3 or 4,000 mile oil changes helps these timing systems last longer than VW says because their oil change schedule is every 10,000 which to me is ABSURD! Of course by doing every 10,000 the chances of things failing is exponentially higher which in turn creates future business for them.
