TFSI engine 2.0 camshafts removal / Audi A4 2011

Thank you for this series

If the piston hit and damaged the valves then be careful in reusing the old cams. The lobes do bend as well-just not noticeable at first glance. Happened to me.

Thanks I will keep it in my mind! Looks like is good, I tested it on the water a few weekends!

The problem it's in the exhaust valve , it is melted, piston didn't touched the valves! The car is driving already for a long time! All good! Except that it is consuming oil but I did a research and is specific for this model and year , they have this defect from factory and consuming oil!

[@mchaudry9811]

@@valeriumoscalu7580 the oil consumption is most likely due to piston rings. A good idea to change the oil every 3k miles as they did many years ago and car would last longer. The tfsi was a very poorly designed engine and I think it was intentional so people would have to buy new cars.

[@valeriumoscalu7580]

I know there is a new model of piston rings and with them the oil consumption is much smaller but the work is expansive so no many people a willing to pay for it!

[@trevorwagner3396]

did you not have to lock the camshafts off at any point?

[@oyard0]

Was it difficult to reinstall the camshaft without having to open up the lower timing cover? Did you have an issue getting the camshaft back around the timing chain?

[@omarvargas7333]

Do you happen to know the torque specifications for the valve cover bolts? Thanks

[@oso2916]

What issues were you having that required the cam removal ?

[@valeriumoscalu7580]

Melted exhaust valve! 0 compression in cylinder nr.40 removed the cylinder head and replaced all exhaust valves!

[@rayvictory4838]

hi stupid question, at 1:37 when you are rotating the timing chain. Where exactly are you turning to do this?

[@valeriumoscalu7580]

Clockwise

[@zubuxstein]

in the crank bolt, ALWAYS ALWAYS CLOCKWISE!
