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.

Make sure to watch this before doing your balance shaft chain! th-cam.com/video/zW9tJr_g3RE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Naptown for all your hard work putting out these videos. I’ve learned so much from you.
Yes

Take a magnet and when you put the chain on the crank sprocket stick magnet to face or sprocket under chain to keep in place.
I have had some headaches with this engine. I love how it works when nothing fails 😅
Thank you for your videos! I'm changing out the timing chains on my daughters 2016 Q3 2.0T this weekend and this video helps out A LOT!
Poetry in motion, Naptown Tuner. Ty!
I just needed to see how it was to remove the lower timing cover.

Dumb brother of mine wrecked his car so now I gotta fix it.
You save my day as always for the chaine tensionner .i was almost on my way to remove the axle. Thx
@ 6:15 Would be easy if you take the Belt Tensioner off instead of the Snout Turbo
Great job teaching bro, thank you so much for this !!!! I'll be doing it next week.
Wow not only practice makes perfect but it also makes it look easy. I took a lot longer to get this done.
Absolutly LOVED this video! Well done!
You make it look so simple. Hopefully I'll get mine done within a couple of months

I guess I could do a full removal and install here soon

Good video bro! and good catch one the crankshaft of a tooth! you would of been in a world of hurt having to take it all apart again.
This guy is awesome.
62k miles for a chain is exceptionally bad. Mine went 135k before it had to be replaced… which is still pretty miserable, but 62k is unreal.
Agreed mine were at -4.25 at 130k
Whats the cost of doing this repair?
@@JorgeCastillo-xn3lk ~$2000 for a shop
@@michaelw6277 did you do yours or you took it to mechanic shop
Did you torque the crankshaft pulley just like that!!?

Thank you!! You made my day!!
What is the Torx set you are using? Trying to find a good short set for my Milwaukee 1/4"
Is there a 5 mm allen bolt by that pulley wheel that can be removed & the pulley swung up & out of the way?
So all VW/Audi 2.0 run balance shafts?

Am I crazy or was the balance shaft chain off by one tooth on the crank? 33:40
have you ever had problems with the fitment of the tentioner... I having problems lining up the two holes to fit the two bolts.
How do you get the chain off the oil pump to crank sprocket? Mine doesn’t have enough slack.
Next time you take that timing cover off loaded w/ Right Stuff...you’ll need to use an air chisel!
What do you think is a fair price for me to pay someone to do this in 2024?
You didn’t show the part where you were putting back the engine

Makes it look so easy but....
Great video. Can i remove the balance shafts without removing the engine?
You can but it can be hard to pull them, with the engine out you can pull the exhaust side from knocking it from the back by removing a freeze plug.
I feel like I saw this this morning, but TH-cam says it was uploaded 36 minutes ago. It's like deja vu all over again.
I had to add a few things
GREAT WORKS =))
Can I reuse the crank bolt?

Indy
Roughly how much would a customer pay for this to be done?
At the dealer? 2k
Just had it quoted 3,200 for parts
5,800 after labor. Why would they wanna change my intake cam shaft? Had the exact same problem chain stretch
