TSI and TFSI engine overhaul 

All I see is dollar signs. Crazy how a manufacturer defect is a cost upon the consumer.

Are you telling me I need an engine overhaul 100k km in? And that I should pay a few grand to fit it? I'm happy driving my 15yo mercedes with 320k km, running perfectly.

3 minutes in. Conclusion: Just buy another car.

it´s hard enough when there is a company called VAG Expert, to repair stock VAG engines. Yes,i had one TSI. never again.

This kind of repair is suitable for racing car or exotic car owners with deep wallet. For other car buyers, it is scary.

Excellent work. My car is a 2016, so it came with the new piston design. But if I had an older car, I'd bring it to you guys for sure.

I love the honesty.

Ale Firme macie zajebista, tyle sprzetu i maszyn, cos pieknego !

Seeing this makes me so happy that i own an old 1.8 APX

Incredible video. Excellent job!

I have a 2.0tfsi engine with 130,000 miles no oil consumption but i have changed the oil early since the beginning only using high quality oil. 2nd audi ive owned and never follow audi’s service interval. Always early oil changes and often. It helps a lot for these issues.

I wish you guys have this service in Canada. I love what services tmyou provide. Love it! 👍👍

Gratuluję doskonale zrobionego filmu. Ujęcia, montaż, światło i lektor... palce lizać. Może muzyka odrobinę zbyt inwazyjna. Co do samej naprawy... Kłaniam się nisko. Pełna profeska jaką lubię i szanuję. Gratuluję też czystego i pięknie wyposażonego warsztatu. Wszystko wygląda tak jak to powinno wyglądać. Świetna robota. Życzę wielu sukcesów.

honestly i don't think you could do a better job absolutely amazing work

Professional work is always appreciated. I know where to send my car in the future. Greetings from Norway :D

Excellent work!

Congratulations ! You've just spent 10k on a 8k car !

a video with honest narration

this will cost more than the car itself.

awesome video, very nice to watch!

Beautiful Movie!!

“We screw the Rods” ( Audi screws the customer)

Worked at VW Chattanooga manufacturing plant, bought a brand new ‘15 model Passat, and it started burning oil profusely at 80k miles. I was told that was normal, just keep an eye on it and change the oil regularly, topping it off between changes. The engine made it to 148k and blew up right before this past Christmas, lost all compression on the #3 hole. Lean condition caused by excessive oil consumption caused a hole to burn through an exhaust valve in that cylinder. Pulled the head and all the cylinder walls are trashed, the coolant that filled one of the cylinder bores leaked right past the rings and into the oil pan before it could even be sucked out with a shop vac. Sucks that we paid this thing off and was going to hand it down to our son for his first car but now it’s just a junk pile. No one wants to work in it, no one here in the US seems to rebuild these engines. All I’ve been told is to replace it with a new or used unit. Can’t see spending more than the car is worth to do that. When I look on FB marketplace all I see are blown up Passats for parts, don’t seem like you can hardly give them away. What a shame, $25k down the toilet. Should have bought another Chevy. We just replaced this car with a new Mazda today, hopefully have better luck with it.

That's insane the amount of work needed to repair oil burning.

By the way awesome video.. Very insightful. 👍

ah, volkswagen, you never cease to amaze me......

This video is beautiful 🤣 seriously love it

My brother has a 1.2 polo tsi, it has traveled 240 000 kilometers in 4 years. It has been very reliable and still is reliable. He has however noticed that 1st gear is not as powerful as before, other than that she still pulls hard.

Bravo Panowie ! pracuje w VW i jak widać zrobiliście to super !!!

100K and then this overhaul. I think it is a legalized crime by VAG. Designing a technical product to fail at 25% of its economical and technical lifespan should be criminal.

Owners of Audi 80/100 ..4 or 5 cylinders..8v 10v 16v 20v NEVER had this issues👏👏👏..so much for new tech🥳

8 minute of the film tells you everything " 3rd generation of this pistons are good", but you have to byy them from VW, so i think VW group should change these pistons as service action, they produce shit quality engines and now they ask customers to pay for it...thank you very much VW group

And they say Alfa is the one that is always at mechanic. VW, Audi, BMW owners always hide their repairs, and they always say it was never broken, yeah, definitly!

Good job , the only problem customer has to spent money but factory is responsible

I had 3 cars with tsi engines. I never had an oil consumption. Well, it wasn't 0, but maximum 0,5 liter between services (every 30000). And I have to mention that i'm making over 80000 km per year. My strong advice to all TSI users is to always keep the engine revs above 2000 rpm. It is very important! Those engines hate low rpms.

I read before buying after 2011 this fault was corrected. I bought an 1800" on a 12plate on the strength of the I'm formation

Perfect add, perfect work.. what can I more say. Best Polish Volkswagen-Group experts!

How I wish we had such service from some of our vw/ Audi dealers or specialists in my country 🇿🇦. An engine overhaul is very expensive in south Africa. I own a 2012 Audi Q5 2.0 TFSI with 133000 km, so far I haven't had huge oil consumption issues.

If the piston rings don’t get you the timing chain tensioner will

My wifes car had this same issue in a 2013 Audi A4. We were told the solution from Audi is to change the entire long block, fine by me I didn't have to pay.

Does anyone feel it might be better to take "A MATCH" to the engine if it needed all this overhaul? 🤣 Anyways, a very informative video! Thank you Vag-Expert.

I had 275,000 miles on my 1.8T. Great car and engine. Sold to my brother for his kids and then they sold. Never used oil between 5-7,000 mile oil changes.

Wow! Very Nice!

Mine, a5 b8.5 year 2015, so far no problem, no engine oil consumption

you guys need to have an office in Nigeria. the market will go crazy for such expertise.

as a owner of a 1.8tsi leon II i agree with most of the video. TBH the engine is awesome when it works fine. The oil consumption issue can be mitigated with frequent oil changes with good quality oil. I really think that VW overestimates the service intervals. 15k km is just way too much, and sometimes they recommend even 25k km. On my car the previous owner changed the oil every 10k with very good quality oil, and the first thing i did when i bought it was a oil change with a good engine flush. At 90k the car uses about 1l of oil every 4k km.

Quality content

Beatifull work, do you have any repair shops in the USA?

Brilliant I'll just do this quick fix in my drive.... Looks as easy as changing a wheel.... What could go wrong

This is amazing but how much would something like this cost to have done?

Hola gente, saludos desde el fin del mundo, Argentina. Estoy maravillado por la calidad de su trabajo y de los materiales originales que usan. Acá en Argentina no se trabaja así con esa calidad, los felicito

I'm my last year working for Audi I must have done over 100 of these jobs.....well pistons and rings replacement jobs.......got really good at it too ...took me 9hrs from the time I pulled the car into the bay to the time I drove it out ....each job paid 26hrs flat rate....made a ton of money but I got burnt out eventually...engine out and on the stand in 2hrs. B8 A4, A5 and Q5...did a Q7 3.0T too, that was fun as well... not

Can't beat the 1.8T agu

Excellent

1 millón de km tenía ese motor 💪🏻🔥🔥🇩🇪 que buen fierro 😎🫶🏻

Makes the electric car option that little bit more attractive thanks TSI 😀

We need businesses like your's in México and USA specially in Arizona.

Earlier engines also have issues. We were not the only ones who had a 1.4 with pistons slapping around by 100k miles. It was properly serviced by VW according to schedule before anyone shouts that old excuse.

The reason I will never buy another Audi or indeed any VAG product, new or used. And I was a real fan.

The only car vag was great for us with a 1.9 TDI engine. Especially those made between 1999-2004. After that was a massive downgrade regarding reliability. Such a shame.

Cost of engine work is more than the value of the whole car. Wtf

Great video and explanation for a poorly built car

I put je pistons in my s3 my 2010 and I make 530ps at the wheel and never have problem oil but this car is not for every day using like all tuning cars

Go to the netherlands (google for it...) and maintain the engine in case of oil consumption. Costs of about 3 K€. Now after 40.000 km I can assume no oil consumption any longer and engine runs perfectly. The question is what of these services in the video above are necessary and which of them are nice to have. Finally in my case I spent 3 k€ instead of 7 K€ estimated by Skoda and I have to admit the guys in the netherlands are experts. They do only this kind of work every day.

this is good and solid work, but not only it is more expensive than a good used VW car, but it is not far from new car price

SO AWESOME WORK GUYS!!! now how much??

Bruh, all these procedures… wouldn’t it be cheaper to get rid of the car and buy a another one! I appreciate this work tho, I can imagine how smooth it runs after this!

I have VW Tiguan 2008 tdi 140hp more than 8 years, Zero problems, only normal services. Also have a VW CC 2015 tdi 177hp, monster car (for that level), more then 3 years, Big Zero problems.. For both I change oil, filters (Engine oil Liqui Moly, Bosch filters ) & Additive Liqui Moly (DPF cleaner, Desisel additive, etc..) each 6 months by myself. THERE IS NO PERFECT CAR.. Just take care for her, and she will serve more.. Enjoy your car 😊

Never once needed to remove the Freon to remove any 2.0t Audi engine

Hello sir..Can you install a turbo charger or supercharger on an atmospheric 1600 cc engine audi A3 vehicle?

I mean, what a channel name

Did you change the connecting rods or did you reuse the old ones?

Wow, very detailed. I imagine that this rebuild cost almost as much as a new engine?

only one question . why cam bridge sometimes cannot be refited and easilly slide in on the cams ? I have to hammer it in . It is not aligned on the cams properlly . One cam is off simetry and usually intake one . I suspect warped camshaft but need your opinion . Everything else I already know

How much cost for the engine refurbishment? Or buy new car?

My Audi engine was rebuilt by an Audi dealer at 92 000 km free of charge, it’s now 173 0000 km I suspect it is maybe beginning to burn oil again?

Your bill after that process: $35000

oil consumption issue is not on audi a4 from 2013 and higher. Issue was fixed in 2012

Who spends this much money on an old Audi?

Just had a new engine fitted in my Audi tt at an Audi dealership, due to swarf found in oil pump and timing chain guides, will I have the modified pistons I wonder , 🤔

Bought low miles full dealer history 2015 Audi A3 Quattro premium plus with 2.0 TFSI 6 months ago for my son . Started running rough a coup,e of weeks ago, TPC misfires. I replaced all plugs and coil packs , still misfire. Sent it to a shop with a trained Audi mechanic. 2 valves sticking , leaking likely bent , probably failure of tensioner . Even at $120 an hour low labor rate repaid with head off, new chain, tensioners, skim , replace valves it’s a $6000 bill for a 5 year old car with full history. Bought many audis .... don’t think I will be doing so again @audi

Nice job what is the cost of all this work please

due to it i love my v8 audi without fsi engine

I’m assuming they do this if they gonna build the motor

Bardzo dobry film. Jakosc uslugi 1000 % profeski. A mam pytanie moze co 2 albo 4 wymiane oleju uzywac plukanki przed wymiana oleju i po sprawie. Odgruzuje sie pierscien olejowy i zacznie nie brac oleju. Szkoda ze koszt uslugi to regen. Silnika i koszt pojdzie pod dobre 15 do 21 tys. Ale jakosc uslugi macie zacna. Fajny lektor angielski ddla promocji. Wery good video. Quality of maintance 1000% profesional. J got a question what if in ewery 2 to 4 time with oil hange yuse engine flush liquids. Its should eliminate the cause of pistons engine rings to eliminate the cause of stucking. And eliminating the extra oil taking. It is sad that you need to do whole engine regeneration to be 100% shure engine will not fail after regeneration proces performed by thr workshop. And the initial cost of reg. Of engine will be counted in thousands of polosh zl or euro or other money curency if someone intrested in this procedure. Love english lektor for promotional purpose of workshop. Sory for english gramar j speak much beter english that i write. Newer studiet english gramar. Lerned english from cartons haha

My car is currently at Audi Dealership for excessive oil consumption and was advised they are going to take the engine out. That is all ive heard so far. Will it go thru this process? Do they perform engine removal and rebuild at the Dealership?

I'm trying to think of a scenario where this would make any financial sense. Got nothin'...

So a TFSI from 2016 and newer has the pistons that don't burn a ton of oil? I'm looking at a 2017 A4 and wanting to know all about the reliability. Thanks!!

all that efford to save shitty engine, what a waste

are you guys also in South Africa?

Is that problem common on the previous version engine FSI with the timing belt?

skoda octavia 2005 1.6 fsi olie you have to change after a days ?

Does the 1st gen BZB engine also have oil consumtpion problems? I've heard they dont

Super

I want this service now

So, 100,000 km and you throw the car away. Nice one VW, way to save the world.

when will you start doing the 4.2 FSI engines?

Audi 80 - B 3 1.8 S KAT 90 KM Audi 80 - B4 1.9 TDI 90 KM Porządne maszyny

Does this problem affect the 1.4 TSI [CAXA] engine also ?

My golf 1.4 TSI is 10 yrs old. Worth about €5000. Last week I had my timing chain exchanged. Auxliary heater and AC repaired. This for a neat price of €3220. Should have smashed my car in a wall instead..
