A FEW COMMON VOLKSWAGEN TDI BEW ENGINE PROBLEMS
Had the same thing happen to a couple A4 b7 2.0 oil pump counter balance shafts. The shaft seizes, the gear shears off but is still held in place by the front lower aluminum cover. The gear doesn't fall out of place, the oil pump still turns, and the engine make enough oil pressure to be driven.
thank you sir
Where is the resistor pac located?
So my car is making that second symptom you explained (tire noise) can I still drive on it? And also what needs to be done now?
Hey do you know if there is a possibility to get rear sway bar bushings without getting new sway bar with them installed. I can’t seem to find any rear bushings for the c7 a6
And I thought bmw's electric water pump was a bad design...
The older supercharged mini cooper s had a water pump that was driven off the supercharger and the drive in the supercharger would break and do the same kind of thing. I miss regular simple water pumps that drive off the serp belt lol
@ yes i actually worked on those minis before. You had to pull that plastic tab to release the tension if i remember correctly
@ yup, silly design
You have to pull the engine to pull the shaft? Hope it comes out without too much trouble!
Last time I did it I just dropped the engine down out of the bay enough to clear things and it wasn’t that bad really, hoping it goes like that again hah
Thanks for the video! I def gotta replace mine! It leaks bad!
Can’t wait for fix
BMW trash
Thanks for the tool tip. I bought one off of Amazon and it just arrived. Look forward to using it.
Awesome! Hope you like it, I think it’s pretty cool
Hey, I’ve been dealing with an issue on my VW CC 2.0T and could really use some advice. I keep getting a flashing CEL with the EPC light, and the misfires are happening only on cylinders 1 & 3. Here’s what I’ve done: • Changed the spark plugs • Replaced the ignition coils • Installed new injectors • Did a valve cleaning for carbon buildup • Replaced the PCV valve Even after all this, the problem still happens only at idle-like when the car is parked or waiting at a traffic light-and I get a loss of power. I’m completely out of options at this point and not sure what else to check 🥲.
Also, I’ve noticed that after the misfires, when the codes are cleared and the spark plugs are pulled, they come out wet. Which have clean before putting them back in😅
Do you have any mixture related faults stored? Might be worth checking compression just to verify engine health.
Hows the drone?
followed it and got it done, appreciate the speed and getting to the point! haha
Took my car to tires plus and they told me I had to replace my hubs… got them replaced, but I am still hearing the humming sound like before that only starts after around 60mph… I just got new tires and the sound started after I got them, but they have been aligned and rotated and nothing changes…could it be my tires or something else?
It could be a tire issue for sure, so the noise wasn’t present before the tires and bearing were replaced? Sometimes if the shop isn’t really acknowledging your complaint it’s a good idea to tell them that you would like to take the tech for a spin so you can show them what your talking about, but hopefully it won’t come to that
You can fix it in 2 minutes using the turbobend tool
I just looked it up and will definitely be ordering it, cool idea!
Ok so I’m driving and when I’m decelerating I hear a whirrr whirrr whirrr whirrr noise and then it goes away, so it’s a tire noise. This whole time I’ve been thinking it was a wheel bearing noise. My dash has an ABS and BRAKE light on right now and I can’t figure out the problem.
i dont want to replace to cover why
if you could do a guide on replacing it, you’d be a savior! you’re videos are great.
Thanks! Next time I replace one I’ll make a video, for some reason I thought I already did that but just checked, nope. Definitely a good idea
No BS just good advice Thanks dude for taking time to make video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks man. Happy it was helpful, I’m trying not to waste anybody’s time
Thanks brother, followed to the T
Happy it worked out!
Thank you for making this video. I just rebuilt my valvetrain, replaced alhe gaskets, put new rings in and con rod bearings. Then on first start, about 10 minutes in a loud rattle! This video identified the exact problem. I thought I'd have to take the engine apart again.
Happy that was it!!
can i do the same method with 2011 and did you put in service mode?
Hmm, I have a 2017 Ford Escape with 48,XXX miles on it. I've been having this thumping/knocking sound seemingly under my feet, that I hear ONLY when I am pressing the gas at above 38mph. Yes, it's that specific. I don't hear it when I turn, go over bumps, or when I let off the gas. I have been chasing this for months and this is the first video I have seen that comes even remotely close to what I've been experiencing. Definitely going to have a closer look at it today.
Chasing down noises can be a real nightmare, hope this is it
You have some great tips here. I've done this job before without disconnecting the axle and it was exactly like you described, the nut bumped into the CV joint and pushed it out of the taper, and there is no way to counterhold the other end. I think I ended up cutting it off with a hack saw. Whenever I have to disconnect the ball joint I like to hit the bolts with some spray paint to make it really obvious where to set the alignment.
I’ve done that move before as well definitely a good idea if it’s not going in for a alignment afterwards, thanks for watching
thanks for helping
my makes loud hissing noise a bit of vibration and it turns off it doesnt stay on .. i need help
Pretty sure I've got this going on with my Mk7 base model. Let the car get up to temp and it starts dripping oily coolant right in front of the oil pan. Question is should I pull the intake to make the job easier? Probably needs a carbon clean on the intakes at 90k. Looks pretty similar to Audi 2.0 TFSI. Maybe do water pump at the same time? Got a new downpipe, intake and wheels coming for her and this is the thanks I get. 😂😂
Hahah that sounds like how it always goes, try to do something nice for her and that’s what you get! lol yeah might be worth just doing it all at that point if it’s all original still
@EuropeanAutoRepair Which water pump and housing brand do you typically use? I haven't found any with metal housings for the Mk7 like I put in my B8 Q5. Any idea if the oil cooler and water pumps for 2.0T will swap over to the 1.8T? Seems like an easy upgrade, but can't find much information. Thanks for the help!
@ I’ve never tried that, interesting tho, keep me posted if you try it or learn anything about that upgrade. I’ve just been using the oem plastic ones on these still
Would a leaking oil filter housing cause a 2012 beetle to stall?
What are the tools you need?
appreciate you
Thank you bro! Made my life easier last night 🙏 counter clockwise to remove, clockwise to install (only goes in 1 way out of 360°) ill be doing the under-car filter next. The fastener on the mount looks very crusty though so wish me luck! 294k miles and im not sure its ever been changed
Dang! I know that struggle lol, almost 300k keep going! I appreciate you watching
@EuropeanAutoRepair update. I cannot change the fuel filter until i build replacement banjo lines. Im not even sure how its not currently leaking due to how corroded the banjo fittings are. I cant even see the crush washers on there anymore. I appreciate you sharing the perspective for others such as myself to reference. I really did not want to mistakenly break anything! Hopefully mine keeps going for many many more miles ❤
thanks for sharing.
So what if the car is off and you can’t shift through all of the gears?
I promise it’s from beating on it when it’s cold
Yup, should have seen this before I changed my wheel bearing.
Sorry man! It’s hard to tell sometimes
Wheres the video to replace i doesnt that easy with the supercharger on top lol
Hopefully he said yes to that one… very much needs replacement.
great video man 👍
Thanks for the video. Can you tell me how long it took you to replace it from start to finish? Audi Australia quoting me two hours.
Definitely would take less than 2 hours to complete for most techs, I’m not sure what the book time is for that job off hand, that is typically what they are using to come up with a labor cost
@EuropeanAutoRepair thank you very much for your reply.
My Aussie built Ford Territory broke every one of these rules. Loudest when coming to a stop, almost pulsating noise. Made me think it was a tyre, except they were new and there was zero shake through the steering. Ordered 2 new front hubs, with bearings pre-installed, changed the LF one, problem gone. Bearing feels almost normal, except seems to have a tight spot.
Weird one! Happy you got to the bottom of it
Where can I find the updated version of this seal and or the part number?
Can you attach the new chain to the old and install it that way? Similar to the m273 Mercedes motor?
I wish!! I remember doing that on some old Mercedes years ago
This answered my question by four because I just changed my control arm and I guarantee when I was trying to hold the whole side of I fucked with the caliber on accident and loosened it. So how do you fix this? Brand new calipers?
So so I replaced my blower motor and my AC is blowing hard but when I turn on the heat, no heat is coming out. It’s blowing cold on the driver side and no air on the passenger side. What do I do?
hey i think my vw jetta 2010 has the same problem should i try fixing this myself without any mechanical experience?
*Thermal camera* or *Laser Temperature meter* only will help you to realize which bearing is bad and if it’s actually a bearing itself lol
I come back to TH-cam every time I have to do this job in some hope that a magical easy way has been discovered. You will get scars.. you will get dirty.. the smaller hands of a child never help. When it’s finally right it’s the most perfect small “click” and you know your agony is over
Mine failed this year, On 987, during hill climb ..160k km on the clock. When I saw the part, I was just wow. Really Porsche? Two plastic parts glued together on such critical part as collant valve. Within 1min all the collant was on the road and my ride was over.
Yeah it looks like the same coolant control valve you would find on a VW rabbit from the 80s lol, they definitely could have done better
All that to replace the thermostat. Wtf. I’ll just bring it in i guess.
