This was very informative. I would love to have a group of videos that show a list of vag com diagnostics other than dtc scans that are useful! Thank you!
(2.0t FSI BPY EA113) For some time I have sought confirmation on "where does the values in MB 091 and 093 come from?" To my understanding, so far; does the value in MB 093 - block 3 reflect the value the N205 is making to correct cam timing and shows how far the N205 is commanded for the adjusting of the cam phaser? Also, is the value in MB 091 - block 4 reflecting the final intake cam position as reported by the G40 - Intake cam position sensor? Is this all correct? Thank you
Thank you for posting! How much would a timing chain replacement costs? Price range wise. I still have ways to go but will decide if I want to keep the car. 14’ Q5 2.0T, 36k miles at -2.61 degrees.
@@speedlinegarage Wow, 236k miles? That’s impressive. I guess if they can last that long probably worth it spending the $ to fix. I love the car. Very nimble. Appreciate it man. Take care!
HI, i have a3 8p 2.0 tfsi 2010 i let car run until operating temperature and on channel 93 phase position bank 1 intake says -4,38 degrees. So what do you think its time for timing chain replacment ?
@@igortomasevic5550 i usually tell clients if its above 5.5 then its time. At 4.3 you still have a year approximately if you keep up on oil changes and keep eye out on stretch. A lot of factors can play in chain stretch so keep your eye on it
@@speedlinegarage okay thanks, will change it maybe in a couple months becuse above 4 its already yellow zone, i bet car would run even smoother after that!
hi i have a question, when you taking about degrees 3 or 5 it should be -3 or -5 right? or should be positive in gonna do it in my car i just curious, and thank you for the info
I saw some clips that i can check it from Meas. Blocks and then on the first one i write 93. Is that correct or i need to do the same process as you? The car is A4 B8 3.0 TDI
Just checked my 2014 B8.5 Allroad that has 76,300 miles by VCDS and got a reading camshaft adaptation intake bank 1: phase position -7.29. Do I have some time to budget to get timing chain replacement or should it be done asap. Thanks.
@@speedlinegarage oh really? I really hope so, dont wanna have to do more work than necessary lol. I guess I should just keep a tab on it and see if the values change. Thank you for sharing all the info!
@@speedlinegarage thanks for responding. A mechanic told me this and said my timing chain was almost done. He said anything over 6.5% recommends replacing. He gave me a screenshot of the VCDS screen from a laptop.
@@speedlinegarage I am defending on the right spot. I can only do advanced measurements on my current update. I also checked the tensioner by the lower timing chain cover and is fully expected.
@@speedlinegarage chain failed, all intake valve bent. head repaired, new timing kit an now I get p0016 and p0088. It starts ok when I clear codes and second start takes longer. I am planning to change intake camshaft. Thank you for reply.

I’ve been meaning to make few more videos about VCDS so if you have suggestions please let me know and i’ll see what I can do.
Humble mechanic has some videos on vcds
how dificult is to rotate ur phone with 90 degrees ??
Excellent info! 👍

I measured my audi camshaft adaptation intake Bank one at .55 on vcds. There was no +or- indicated on readout
Great Video.. but how do you do a timing elongation reset after new chains on vcds
You dont need to reset anything. Cam angle is read by sensors
How much is the labor for timing kit replacement?
@@Phytopathology we do them for $1600 plus tax. 24-48hr turnaround time

I own the same model but mine has 236k right now :)

Why is my Phase Position Bank 1 Intake in 093 showing 113.18* lol
So, I just checked my wifes B8 Q5 and its sitting at -26.08. Is that possible? Maybe skipped a tooth?
Thanks
No thats not possible. I think you’re wrong value.
You need channel 93 or check your phase cam angle position

It can be + or - but no more than 6 degrees either direction

You can do measuring blocks 93 yes

Anything over 6 I would consider “Get It Done Asap”. We just did timing job on 2013 Q5 that had -8.75 😱
@@speedlinegarage Thank you for your advice. I'll call an independent Audi garage in my area to get a quote and start budgeting.
I'm at -1.30 degrees at 107k miles, not bad I guess? Will it just get worse as I keep driving?
What do you drive?
@@speedlinegarage A4 Avant B8
-1.30 at 107k makes me think someone already did it in the past

Is it normal to have an actual of 6.25%
Timing stretch should be measured in degrees not percentages. I think you’re either in wrong screen or your units setup wrong
@@speedlinegarage thanks for responding. A mechanic told me this and said my timing chain was almost done. He said anything over 6.5% recommends replacing. He gave me a screenshot of the VCDS screen from a laptop.
@@HRGM333 for me it’s anything over 5 degrees and I advise client to do chain service. If yours at 6.25 then I would schedule appointment asap
@@speedlinegarage thanks.
Is that the same as phase position on a b7 2.0?
On B7 you can read channel 93 and see it there
@@speedlinegarage more bad info. That tells you nothing about timing. That's adjustment ; the test won't even start if the timing is out.
I just checked and I’m at -10.8
Doesn’t even have a code for timing. I was diagnosing fuel pressure.
You probably looked at wrong thing. No way it will run at -10.8 without jumping.
Check channel 93
@@speedlinegarage I am defending on the right spot. I can only do advanced measurements on my current update. I also checked the tensioner by the lower timing chain cover and is fully expected.
I have -20 after timing change
You must be looking at wrong value
