    Put the wheels back to stock, I'd definitely agree. That cylinder doesn't look right compared to the others, so I'd have to go rings, especially if the head tests OK. Either way, it's a great buy, and im sure you'll have it sorted in the next video or two...

    I saw it on the video. Cylinder 2 had siezed piston on TDC. There were scuff marks on the opposite side of where the burn marks were. Additionaly it had vertical scuffmarks to the left. Replace the piston rings. The piston may leak on the scuff marks. Check the cylinder wall for deformation.

  • @patrickodwyer6845

    I had a very similar issue with the CESA AE888 last year. Turned out the oil control ring had blocked up causing the piston the lower end of the piston to blow out, couldnt see any damage from the top. Nice easy job to do once the engines out. I replaced all 4 pistons for ones our of gen 3 AE888 as they have wider openings on the oil control rings to prevent it in the future

  • @mihaibarangamihai421

    Put the camshafts back in the cilinder head, and turn them to see if the valve are closing properly.
    Pay attention on camshafts, if lobes are press fitted,the lobes might be in the wrong position(usually happens after a timing issue ;valves,pistons and camshafts interfere)
    Camshaft lobes must be 90 degrees delayed,clockwise, in firing order 1-3-4-2,cilinder 1 is the one next to timing chain.
    Example:cilinder 1 first lobe of intake camshaft must be 90 degrees delayed compared to cilinder 3 first lobes of intake camshaft .
    Another thing that you can do is to turn the engine until all pistons are in the centre, and put same amount of petrol in each of them,and watch how fast goes in cilinder 2 compared to the other ones.

    For many car nuts you are living the dream life, hardship yes but man you are busy with fine cars! I respect your ongoing endeavor and perseverance to keep on going with so many hurdles! My guess, given the black rims, somebody drove this car fast for too long - probably oil starvation at the piston breaking the compression ring...

  • @CarsForPaul
    @CarsForPaul ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I had the same problem on my TTs project (see my TTs playlist). It turned out to be the rings. One of the compression rings had four breaks in them which were enough to cause zero compression. I saw in your video that you had a slight score mark in cylinder two, the same as what I had. When I removed the piston, the ring had broken into pieces but stayed intact.

  • @italianjob-vx6hp

    Keep going. This was never going to be as easy as a coil pack or spark plug. The binnacle showed service due, and yet it was obvious that hands had been on the plastics recently. This will be a good car for someone after your work!

  • @davyboy888
    @davyboy888 ปีที่แล้ว

    @16:45 there appears to be aluminium deposits on the bore which is indicative of a piston seizure. I've raced two stroke karts for several decades and we get these all the time. The ring will be stuck into the piston land and you'll have no compression. You'll need to strip the bottom end of the motor, take the crank out and confirm with that piston. I'd then bore all the cylinders and replace all the pistons and rings.

  • @whathasxgottodowithit3919.

    Hi dean think it’s the piston rings I did an Audi 100 in 1980 it was a 1975/76 car and it had marking like that on only one cylinder it turned out to be the rings only good thing about the car I did was I did not have half the crap to take off and I had a lot more room in the engine bay keep up the great work you have my luck as I always say if it was not for bad luck I would not have any.

    The cylinderhead may be warped. It would still be nice to do a leaktest on the cylinderhead. Just put back the spark plugs and fill the chambers with petrol. Check after one hour if the petrol level dropped.

    Mk2 rear headlights have a notorius factory issue with the ground wire. Where the ground wire meets the jack, it would melt the jack. Make sure to pull bouth rear headlights out (2min job) and check the jack. If there is any indication of overheating on the pin for the ground then just drill into the plastic of the back of the headlight to find the "metal rods" that carry the ground, put a screw with washers and create a bypass from that bolt directly to the ground wire (bypassing the jack completely). It takes 15 minutes, I did it myself and it worked for years, still probably does but I sold the car 6months ago. But defientely check if this process has started in your car and let me know if you need more specific instructions on the solution.

Maybe you can fill combustion chamber and cylinder with fuel to see if either drain away? Cool car thou.

    Looking at that close-up of the wheel you had. It kinda looks like there's been some JB-weld patching done on one of the spokes... which would explain why they couldn't keep the milled finish.
    Looking at the bores, I see a couple of vertical score marks which makes me think you've cracked a ring or ringland.

  • @ro63rto
    @ro63rto ปีที่แล้ว

    Cylinder 2 piston looks like it could be rocking at the top of it's stroke. As it leans towards you, water is getting past the head gasket and into the cylinder (brown mark = rust?)
    and the mark on the cylinder wall nearest to you looks like a score mark made by the piston scraping it?

  • @danwedderburn5550
    @danwedderburn5550 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Have you checked the rod isnt bent?
    These have bad oil consumption problems. I would hedge towards a piston to be honest, with it having such different marks on the bore.
    Ive just done a q3 with this engine, changed 2 bent rods. What a complete pain in the backside to do. I gave up trying to pull head off in place for the same reasons you found. Took whole lump out instead & glad i did, as it was a full strip down to put rods in. They have the crazy split sump that inhibits so much what you can do. Good luck with it, but like i say. I would look at piston. If you take the lower sump off, you can actually access no 2 & no 3 rod bolts with upper sump in place. Its tight to do, but possible.

    Put the plugs back in and pour some petrol/wd40 in the top chamber area wee if it loses any fluid. Also on another note is cylinder 2 a possible weak spot as cars for Paul done a tt and I am sure it was no2 that had failed but his had scoring. Guess you could set the engine to mid way and pour fluid in the cylinders and see how quick it leaks back to the sump as you will be changing the oil anyway.

  • @lordloverockett
    @lordloverockett ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I've seen broken hydraulic lifters on this era engine. Have you checked them to make sure they're not broken? Also, should have got a cylinder leak tester on it before taking the head off, could have saved you a whole load of time and might have given you some direction on where the compression was going. Best of luck with it mate.

Now we have a German car and there is no different with the French and the Italian because they are also s+ht to work on... Still a very nice car and one thing is for sure you will fix this car at they end !!!!

  • @wewillmakeit3615
    @wewillmakeit3615 ปีที่แล้ว

    Isn't it quite typical for those motors to have the oil separator rings fail because of carbon buildup then brake the rings or the ring-gap in the piston? Those scratches on the top of the cylinder wall might hint to that, too. Maybe the piston is tilting on tdc. Maybe take a look at the lower part of the cylinder wall on the opposite side.

  • @andymacpherson7424
    @andymacpherson7424 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @stoneman94emca
    @stoneman94emca ปีที่แล้ว

    Looking at cylinder 2 compared to the rest it appears as if the ring line is about double the distance from the top of the block. Could just be because the comp ring is toast and its stuck in the ring land or the rod is bent slightly and the piston isnt reaching all the way up. If the comp ring was completely toast it wouldnt have even made the 1 bar of pressure surely?

  • @focusst171

    That must be rings, from what I can see the H.gasket has a good seal all around, and you have some scoring in the bore, best check is to put and equal amount of fluid in each cylinder [diesel petrol mix] leave it for 3 to 4 hours and see which one drops first. Anyway best to have the piston out just check ✔️

  • @wandango5913

    @tomn.1568 ปีที่แล้ว

    What engine is it? CDNA, CDNB, CDNC? For these, or up to 2012 model year, there are modified pistons available. These suffered from oil consumption which led to rings seizing and possibility to break off parts of the piston. The combustion marks on the top of the cylinder are a tell tale sign of blow by.

    Pour petrol into the cylinder and see if it leaks down into the sump? Does the oil smell of petrol already? You could have done a similar petrol leak test on the head but fair enough sending it away for a full refurb. If piston rings replace all 4 cylinder sets since presumably all from the same batch so could fail in the future? How easy to get the sump off so you can get the pistons/con rods out? Looks a nice well looked after car - becoming collectable so buyers will want originality hence diamond cut alloys. You should still make good money on it.

  • @petecurran3995

  • @wikwyre
    @wikwyre ปีที่แล้ว

    idea: Put the cylinder to top dead centre, then back it down 3 mm. Pour in some engine oil into the cylinder (top it off to the top) and wait a couple of days. If it leaks down through the rings, you'll see the level drop?

  • @jschrauwen
    @jschrauwen ปีที่แล้ว

    If it's engine code CAEB, CDNC OR CNDC, then it's most likely faulty piston rings.
    If not one of those engine codes, and you suspect head gasket, then there should be tell tale signs in the oil and coolant. Smell and inspect coolant reservoir for traces of oil impregnation. Inspect oil for color change and possible sweet smell from coolant.

  • @ivovladov
    @ivovladov ปีที่แล้ว

    Is the little screen on the cam bridge still there? If it flew thru maybe got stuck in cylinder 2 and caused all your issues. That happened on my 09 Audi A3 which has the same exact engine. Mine skipped timing and 3 valves were bent. Also all exhaust valve seals were gone at 143K miles.

  • @jschrauwen
    @jschrauwen ปีที่แล้ว

    Or oil vapours from crankcase are escaping from crankcase past the rings. If the PCV has fatigued (which is highly likely) then that may cause higher then normal crankcase pressures which combined with possible faulty rings can produce those residual tracing on the cylinder wall. Remember the Audi 2.0T from 2007 to 2015 was notorious for this. It's the Audi engine that carbons up the fastest out of all their engines next to the S8 V10.

    Looks like a nice car Dean and don't say you are going to have a pretty easy fix are you 😂, diamond cut alloy wheels definitely, don't like complete black wheels on anything, myself, love it when you and other mechanics say simply remove this or that, I honestly struggle with anything on car's 😂😂

    Put the wheels back to stock mate. And i think oil is getting past the rings. Sump off , piston out by the looks of it. The thing is?? Do you do all four and would you then change the big end shell as well?? Have fun!!!

    I think it’s Carbon build up on rings, they might be broken also. Did you check crankcase pressure when running as there should have been excessive back pressure if it’s the rings? Put the wheels back to stock, the all black doesn’t suit but nice car.

    As said, leave light oil in overnight, though I guess you already know the outcome.. (with diddly no compression and no obvious signs of head gasket ).
    Quick check of bore dimensions, (though looks OK on film).
    Remove number 2 piston, check rings and lands..and liner.
    Rebuild in half the time.. Jobs a good un.
    Oh, OEM wheels.

    Stock diamond cut wheels defo. I think it the piston rings Den on cylinder 2 as it doesn’t look like the head gasket has gone. Look forward to finding out what it is. See you in your next video

    I'd bet on top ring stuck due to collapsed or carboned ring groove in the piston. I'd count the bore not looking totally murdered being a lottery win.
    Easy valve test when head is off, chuck the spark plugs in and turn it upside down in the parts washer. Fill the combustion chambers to the brim and then leave it 5 mins.

  • @williamholmes9129
    @williamholmes9129 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm going broken top ring, as if you look at the carbon around the top of bore 2 it hasn't got the clear straight line 6mm from the top indicating the top ring is not touching the bore at this position. the even line at 10mm down is as far as the 2nd ring travels indicating this ring is OK.
    Looking at the bore could get away with sump off, piston out, hone and reassembly. but having now shown it on TH-cam everyone will know what's been done 😮👍

    I would have tried the old diesel past the rings method, crank until all pistons are half way and put an inch of diesel in a good cylinder and the dodgy cylinder and watch for the speed of loss past the rings.

    I'm pretty sure it's the ring land. EA888's are know for having issues with that in generation 1 and 2. I assume this car had a huge oil consumption for a long time (I had 1+ liter/1000km with my A4), due to clogged holes in the rings and that might eventually led to a broken or displaced ring.

  • @STANLIZ4

    Oil present on bore as piston descends in 2 places indicates a ring problem of some sort with no bore damage

  • @Dmytro-Shcherbyna
    @Dmytro-Shcherbyna ปีที่แล้ว

    That same thing happened to me 2 months ago, longitudinal 2.0 tfsi, sudden loss of compression, same errors, no hissing sound or anything, but turned out piston heat belt (between 1 and 2 rings) gave up, so rings no longer stayed in place, losing all of the compression.

    A leak down test might have given some more clues before digging in, also recommend a steerable borescope so you can look back up at the valves if you’re buying a new one.

    Oh Dean!!! You don't half pick 'em !!! Seems strange one ring would go so completely while the others look OK. Have you gone back to Audi to get a full history as there might be a historical problem on the car? Regarding the wheels they look abysmal. Take them back to factory spec or sell them to part finance something really tasty.
    As always good luck and thanks for the video. Cheers, Bob

    If you got it for half resale price could be a good car to push out with the honest diagnosis for someone wanting a 'engine upgrade' project. As for wheels definitely diamond cut looks better

    Diamond cut wheels. New piston rings on all cylinders, clean the head, New timing chain and gaskets. And it will be worth a lot of pounds.

    I’m wondering if you have a stuck valve / binding valve stem might be the cause.
