Big thanks to BG Automotive for supplying the head gasket kit and timing chain kit, more info can be found here. bgautomotive.co.uk
In today's video we strip down the Audi TT engine and start rebuilding it, starting with 4 new pistons and ring kits! Will it work? - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Just to update on the bores, its a trick of the camera, they don't look scored much in real life, if you look at 10:59 you can see what they actually look like.
Let you off, they looked rough as rats earlier 😂
yeah they look awful on camera haha, which is why I've had to clarify
Pick up a ball hone or flex hone. They leave a fantastic crosshatch. Camera is not doing you any favours.
Nice video. Enjoy watching your channel.
@@SavingSalvageglad you cleared that up. It looked like you'd gone mad with the honing tool and introduced gravel 😂
Is Elsawin free to use? I am also building one of these engines. Cheers
I'm not in any way a mechanic but always find your honesty and skill a compelling watch. Great stuff.
I appreciate that!
U can't enjoy it that much if u not willing to pick up a wrench brother?😮😮👁👍👁🤔🤔🤔😫😫😫🤨🤔🤔
@@craigmorgan4676 I build computers. Not cars! Know nothing about cars.
It looks good watching mechanics work on nice new cars or cars that live in warm weather BUT where i live all nuts, bolts and components are rusted to hell i wish i was fixing computers and watching mechanics on screen 😣😤😭
@@waynelewes7817 I watch all kinds of things. I watch the lads in Pakistan who build buses and people who drive lorries along dangerous mountain roads. Computers don't tend to rust its true and they are best worked on indoors! Best to let my local garage fix my car and for me to fix their computer. 🙂
I've got to say your confidence in the engine rebuilds is awesome and I love watching them good stuff
Great video Dean, the insight into how these VAG TFSI engines are built is fascinating. The incident with the camshaft is a great tip for anyone rebuilding their engine. I must admit I have always fancied an Audi TT, but never got round to getting hold of one at the right money! Hope everything goes well with the restart. 🤞
could be a trick of the camera but the honing looked as it it was done with course stones. I think machine shops use sussessively finer grades of stones to give a fine cross hatch finish. Maybe I'm nit picking and it will run for 100K miles!
A honing massacre 😱 that was The Little Big Horn & Battle of Hastings all in one Dean 😂 but great honing action 😉 and yeah learnt throughout my life you can NEVER have too much Lube.
10:26 is very important as Dean states! My Ibiza Cupra 1.4 tsi twincharge engine had to get rebuilt after I blew one of the pistons, (common fault in the cave engines) and during the engine rebuild process the mechanic put one of my con rod caps wrong way and after 400 miles later on the new rebuilt engine my car starting knocking again. Absolutely gutted. Dean I wish I brought my car to you man I’m actually so gutted. Had to be sold for spares or repairs 😢
Excellent video, it's really difficult to film and work on cars at the same time but you're a masterclass in making it look easy. Thanks for all the effort you put in, it's totally worth it from this end.
Always great to watch ....zero BS audio .....your skill level and mechanical bravery are leagues above mine but it's great to watch your endeavors 😲😉. Keep up the great work
Great work Dean, your videos are inspiring for any novice home mechanic, well done.
Enjoyed this format a lot more with you going into detail with the voiceovers. Keep it up
.I've seen you rebuild a few engines now and your knowledge and skill are a pleasure to watch👍
Love watching the rebuilds
If I had a workshop would do it myself.
Fantastic to watch.
What about the TVR?
Excellent work dean you make it look so easy
Nothing worse than an invisible twanging ball bearing, Dean. Excellent piece of work. How you do all that with such ease is beyond me. Great video as always. Cheers, Bob
I must be the most boring person on earth, here I am watching some english guy rebuilding an Audi engine at 9:30 on a Saturday night, great video as usual, Rj in Oz
what a time to be alive haha
Superb work as always Dean, I still cannot believe how you remember where everything goes, spot on and hats off to you Sir, btw looking forward to more vlogs on the VW transporter 😃😃👍👍
Thanks 👌🏼The bus is in the bodyshop now so will done by next week 🙌🏼
@@SavingSalvage fab look forward to it have a fantastic weekend you deserve it 😃👍
Really enjoyed watching the Audi TT engine build on what to do and how to do it 👍
Great video. . Interesting watching it all go together.
Always nice to see another ccza rebuild. Rebuilt mine after valve wear running lean, then the intake balance shaft failed which is becoming more common on these.
Top stuff Dean, really enjoyed watching the rebuild, hopefully It'll soon be purring !!!, Good job as always, well done.
Hi Dean, I love how you just get on with each job as it appears. I think with glaze honing, you go slowly as straight in alignment with the bore as you can.
The angle is not critical but an even finish is. Spray cutting fluid down the bore and on the stones and go gently.
One further thing, look after your honing tool,
Keep it in a box so to protect the stones because they are what decides the quality of the finish.
One final question, what make of knee pads do you use, I work work in shorts all the year round but struggle to find good ones that stay up when you walk and yours look decent.
Even when you get frustrated, your attitude is fantastic. Good video keep them coming
Always watch your videos and it amazes me every time you make it look so easy rebuilding engines and puts into perspective how it costs so much to have this type of thing done by a garage
Superb content as always Dean! Hope the tt will be up to win once finished?? Would definitely buy tickets. Cant wait for more content! Keep up the great work pal
You are a superb mechanic very impressed. Looking forward to the fitting. 👍👍👍👍👍
Another great honest video Den. I feel your pain fighting seized bolts, loosing bits that go ping...FFS 🤬..😂😂. Keep doing what you're doing. 👍
Great videos. Love watching them and getting a few tips, well done
looks like another winner dean great work
Love the in depth content, thank you
Great watch. I have 2015 TTs. Which I’ve had for almost 4 years. Still surprises me how powerful this 2.0 4 cylinder engine is. It really does pull. It feels faster than 310bhp.
I was a bit worried by the honing of the bores, better to use oil rather than WD 40 as its a Water Dispersant with limited lubrication. But as you say the camera does not show the true picture. Love the channel and keeping my fingers crossed for the S3 Competeforcars, got a few tickets but I don't have a good track record on raffles....
love the content that you put out nice work .
Hi Dean. You have made me LIKE another video. Hahaha. I dont know how you do it Dean. Just watching you build up that Engine is Amazing. There's nothing you don't know. I have never seen a Tool like the one you cleaned the piston with. It's so Cool. It's a great job you've done getting it all back together like that. Last week I thought that Audi was fit for the Knackers yard. I never thought you would crack on and actually fix it. Anyway great video again Dee. You never fail too Impress us with your knowledge. Tell me. How is your Wife getting on with the VW bus. I bet she doesn't know herself lol. Nice present. Anyway it was a nice treat watching you bring the Audi back to life. Another one saved. Chat laters bro 😅😅
Great video and love the TT engine rebuild
I know it's not but you do make it sound so simple.. every time I used to do motorcycle rebuilds, I used to end up with 1 or 2 nuts or bolts left over, 😅.. you carry on the good work .. looking forward to the next stage
There called weee bolts 😂
When I've done honing I used loads of lubricant, tqf is good to use, wd40 is not good enough to use unless you use tons of it.
Great work dean from south africa
I definitely think you should have done the cylinder closer to the timing chain a bit more because it is still looking really bad, in my opinion but you know what you are doing. As always keep up the good content
For this type of honing, look into flexhone. Use with regular engine oil and wash out properly with dish washing detergent and water. You don't want any honing material to remain in the bore grooves. Best hone that doesn't come from a professional hone machine.
Great content, always interesting, I’d love to be able to do what you do my self. So I’m definitely a fan
great video Dean, love the content looking forward to the next one.
I know it was your first time honing cylinders, but you need loads of lubricant. The bores did not look good, I wouldn't be surprised if the engine has sealing, compression, blowby issues.
Great video Dean and I have to say that the cir cleeps comment did make me chuckle 😂
Absolutely brilliant once again Dean
Great video Dean and it wont be long before im buying my tickets for it, keep up the good work
Awesome job Dean. Your skills are amazing!! 👍🏻Looking forward to the S3 draw 😜
Thank you! Cheers!
another great build Dean, well done ❤🤘🤟💪👌
Great channel really enjoy your videos
Thank you very much!
Hi Dean. Watched a few vids in the past couple of months. I've obviously subscribed to your channel and thoroughly enjoying the content. You seem to be doing it all on your own, is that so or do you have a team behind the scenes? Shame about the cupra, love the caravelle, s3 looks cool and the tt engine.....well fingers crossed, all will be good 👍
Mate this is Brilliant Dean, love to watch an (expert ) at work!! I know you claim your not but Jesus you’ve got more ball’s than most!!!👍👍👍 keep it up lad!👍
Where do you find your service manuals e.g. for installing a timing chain kit (that specifies torque, degrees etc)?
Dean Great video, as for the camshaft,lucky so and so. finding the spring, wont go there with my experience, had to get another Camshaft. Dying to see rest of build. Darren ireland.
Great video, really enjoyed 👍
Great work Dean
Dean great video again - looking forward to the start up. How the hell did you find the spring and ball 😂? Keep up the great vids
Great work ,a tip when honeing bores is to spray oil or WD in the cylinder to keep the stones well lubricated
Hi Dean, are those pistons weighted? They look a lot heavier than the old ones...
Maybe the revision ones, that's a common problem on these engines. May have added weight in the sidewalls to overcome the Gudgeon pin problem.
Great content as usual mate, met a guy on holiday in Norfolk, we talked about you and your channel, he's local to you. We're all enjoying the projects, good luck with the raffle.
Would love to see an Audi B8.5 S4, would give my right arm for the upgrade from my S-line one.
Excellent job well done 👍
Before I first remove the exhaust cam, I like to take my palms and hit the ends of each side of the cam. This essentially slides the adjustable lobes to the left and right, centering the lobes. But being that it is laying in the head still, you can’t slide them to far, and the ball and spring don’t go flying. This action lets me drop the cam directly back in when it’s time for re-assembly.
Hi there lov all your videos,,
What guid do you look at on your laptop to build the engine thank you
not saying i would ever go to these lengths by myself but great video and informative
@Samantha-jy1jo pissoff go do yr godbothering elsewhere
Nice work!
Love how you left 'Circleeps' in, made me chuckle.
Hi, What Software are you using to follow the guide to rebuild engine ? Trying to do the same thing my self
Hey Dean, cheers as always for the video 👍
Top tip - don’t wear gloves when dealing with bearings and re-assembly of parts such as the big ends (or anything with equally tight tolerances); as demonstrated nicely at 09:16, it’s easy to accidentally loose tiny little bits of glove in the wrong place and not notice. Most of the time you’ll probably be alright, but it’s not worth the potential risk. You can also get much better feel of how well those crucial parts are fitting together. Yes it’s more of a faff to clean your hands in between, but defo worth it.
The bores defo do look better at 10:59; it’s difficult to pass judgement without being there. Personally for something as critical as that I’d get a machine shop to do it so you know it’s right, for the minimal extra cost.
Hope it all comes together nicely mate 👍
More cost, as you would have the strip the block down completelyfor a machine shop to do the job!
@@georgedaville4662
True, but for the tiny amount of extra for a few gaskets and crush washers, personally speaking I’d rather go that extra mile when you’re already that deep into it.
I’m just about into double figures for engines I’ve rebuilt, and I’d still much rather get that sort of thing done professionally as opposed the chance I may/may not do a decent job myself.
Personal preference I guess.
Cheers
@@PGriff I must admit that if was personally rebuilding this motor I would strip it completely and have the bores done at a machine shop, as well the head overhaul and full block clean/ check. I guess Dean is working to a budget?
ultimately this is why I did it myself, also would cock up the video haha
the reason I didn't strip to right down is because it didn't need it imo. engines only done 60k miles and the big end bearings looked brand new. so didn't feel the need to change the main bearings too.
That was a Mission Impossible but you won. Looking forward to seeing this run again.
Should be a smooth idle on start up dean 👍💪😉
Ignore the negative comments Dean, I think the engine is looking sweet. Keep the great vids coming mate 👍💯
You did well to find the ball bearing!
When doing the cylinder hone better to use some heavier oil and ideally feed it in as you do the hone
thankyou Dean,,great content as usual,,👍👍
Excellent video, as always!
When will we have ones from the Cayman or the M2?
I would love to see those cars finished!
I’m itching to finish the M2, but other things keep getting in the way. I’ll get it done in the next month! Cayman I’m taking it to be welding next week, as I’ve been waiting for some backordered parts from Porsche!
Hey Dean, I enjoy your content so keep up the good work. What's with the thumbnails of late - you seem to have gone full on dork 😁 in them.
Unfortunately being a dork is better for views 😂
On the matter of gaze breaking, I get better results with the tool type that has many flexible stems that have carborundum balls at the end of each stem. Thanks for the video.
Great video Dean like watching you getting these vehicles going fella great work m8 looking forward watching the next part, oh ye what did you end up doing with the yellow cupra Dean just curious m8??. 👍👍
Never seen cross hatching that visible.
Did you run your nail over them to make sure you couldn't feel them?
As i said it looks awful camera, looks nothing like that in real life, if you look at the clip of all 4 pistons fitted you can see what it actually looks like.
Cracks in the bores 💥
Awesome!
Enjoying the content 👍
Brilliant content mate 👏👏
Dean, lol, that’s the same kind of set up on the Lambretta gear selector…two ball bearings loaded up with a spring inside the shaft!!!!! 😜
Would just like to thank u guys for different outlook u have given me too life its all yes yes yes live your dreams and neva give up
Very good engine build you need to slow down and plan when rebuilding engines but excellent video steve b
Great work Dean, just a question maybe a bad angle but i couldn't see the inlet partiton plates in the cylinder head did you put them in??
Yeah I assumed no one would notice that 😂.. I took the inlet back off to put them in 👌🏼
@SavingSalvage that's cool mate that puts my ocd at ease lol 👍 quality content too.
Every mechanic/technician/engineers worst nightmare is hearing the “1 clink”. Because with 2 or 3 you can normally find it easily… 1 though… you’re on for hours scrabbling round for whatever pinged or dropped off 😂 great video as always mate
What about the crankshaft bearings?
Afternoon mate hope you are having a good break
Great work buddy
Re BGA it means Be Gone Again as for me either genuine or Elring
Pleasure to watch your videos
Them bores after you honed them looked deeply scratched, what stones did you use course, medium or fine? On camera it looks like you honed them with a brick if it smokes when refitted there's your problem.
As i said it looks awful camera, looks nothing like that in real life, if you look at the clip of all 4 pistons fitted you can see what it actually looks like.
That gudgeon pin went into place remarkably easy. On other vehicles ( old) I've had to soak the piston in hot water in order to insert the pin.
It wasn’t that easy, had to get it bang central, also they shouldn’t be that tight as they need a coat of oil round it permanently when running.
I did a sr20 rebuild a few years back. I placed the pins in the freezer overnight (wifey didn't know haha ) they literally fell in to the piston.
Nice one Dean. I bought a mk5 golf gt sport 1.4 tsi last night with and yes the timing chain has been done the history of paper work is like a dictionary..Will be fun fitting new brakes and front pipe 🙈
Man, that TT is sick mad, I am so glad you didn't gave up on it.
I found amazing the skills you have to pull out all of that work by yourself.
Watching your content is so addictive I’m so glad I found the Channel after you purchased the crashed Lambo from Matt Armstrong. The content is really interesting informative and great viewing thank you so much for producing these videos 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I'm gonna say No, the sills are rotten, or is that another video? I'm easily confused 🤣
Great work again!
So lucky you heard where it went and it never fell into engine 👍
Any updates on your other builds like the Porsche and TVR ? Curious to know how things are progressing with both builds 👍🏻😊
Porsche I’ve been waiting on a solution for welding it up properly, found someone but it will be next week before that’s sorted. TVR I’m
Slacking on a bit as lots of bits need to happen with that.
Very Impressed. . Someone will get a great car.
With this tool you have to rotate it until it with make some dust and get harder to rotate in a steel cylinder. You dont have no more oil comsuption with new pistonrings and full compression. This tool works really fine if you use only the finest brackets.
By the way, you could use standard engine oil for lubing anything. But test the fitting of the rodcaps with some plastigage to check the gaps.
Looking good 👍
is worth spending a little more and getting the ball honing tool with little balls on it, makes such a nicer finish
