What a job! I can't even imagine trying to do this in the carport at home without a hoist or the dust free environment. May I never own an Audi long enough to get stuck with a timing chain replacement job.
Dude, your channel is so good! I believe is one of the best "car repairs channel" I came across on TH-cam. Thank you for all the knowledge you are sharing with us.
Legends. Good to see you guys keeping these beast alive. I have two b7 s4s as well as a b7 rs4 and a c6 4f allroad with the 4.2. One of my s4s I have engine swapped a twin turbo rs6 engine . The other has the original 4.2 and will need this job on the timing done soon .
Been following yourselves on Facebook , looking for a nice S4 B7 for next year for a keeper, always knew I will have to have this done too , will be in touch when I get it. Keep up the videos, great work.
Hey man love the videos. I'm in the United States and needless to say my local dealership was less than helpful in getting some con rod bearings for my c5 a6 4.2l v8 is there anyway you could help a fellow enthusiast? They don't need done I just want them in my stock. Motor is coming out for rebuild this summer and want to have them at least ordered bc shipping right now is a nightmare. Thank you hopefully your able to help!!!!! Keep up the good work you guys really turn em out there!!
I've got an 04 S4 avant and I'm burning way more oil than the usual. I've got 174,000 miles and I'm guessing I need either rings or valve stem seals or both. Do you have any recommendations for a shop in the NY city area??? I know it's a stretch, but I figure it couldn't hurt to ask. Nice video. Wish I had a shop to go to like yours.
New chain and you STILL hear it, surprised. Thought my chain was on the way out (just bought a 2015 Corsa), but doubting that now, doesn't make much more noise with crap oil (about to change it).
Hi there Tom Tom. I hope you are doing well guys. I have a quick question The metal gaskets behind the cam adjusters housing do they normally squirt oil out between them? And can u drive with them like that 😅😅😅
In my opinion the owner of these Car have two caracteristics: He dont respect the legal speed limit And he dont respect the original time oil change 🤣👍👍👍 Nice vídeo 👍👍👍
I just paid $7,350.00 for timing chain service. far as I can tell, they did not come anywhere near the level of service you do. I realize now I way, way, way, overpaid for nothing.
Thank you for filming this! I noticed kind of knock noise when you filmed the engine while runnning, could you please explain where is it comming from and why?
@@VAGTechnic Hello, thank you very much for the answer! Yes it does but not talking about chain rattle, what i mean is the knock noise from Intake Manifold. The reason im asking is that mine got seized 5 days ago, it took me 2 days to notice a knock noise, i managed to move the flaps by my hand, it was very hard but i opened them all the way and knock stopped right away. I did lose low rpm torque because of that but yesterday i did removed intake Manifold and cleaned everything and oiled the shaft from those flaps on front side of Intake manifold. The hard knock noise is gone but i still can hear some of it, some say it will smoot out by time because i ecu needs some time to adjust to proper working Intake Manifold, just wanted to confirm that because i see you know what you are doing! Thanks again! I dont want to be annoying but could you please try and answer me a question, i have Audi S4 B7 Avant 2006, 4.2l V8 ofc, i could take it in for a labor but usually here in Germany you pay money for mechanic and he has no idea what hes doing because they dont really work on these beautiful cars. I get a screaming noise comming from engine bay at high rpm only, 5500 - 6500 its literally screaming noise, as if i had a supercharger installed on it but with broken bearings. Maybe you know what could be producing it? Thanks once again for filming your work, you have no damn idea how much it helped me!!
Hi guys awesome staff again...may I ask where u guys from? Just tough I heard Czech in one of your videos... I am driving s5 3L v6 2010 and having rattle on cold starts or if car sitting off for longer period ...thing is as soon engine is running for couple of minutes and pressure builds up rattle goes my question is does my car need tensioners replacement or I read somewhere it could be oil pressure valve located underneath pcv valve....I am planing on change pcv anyway as I got high oil consumption and those pressure valves are underneath it(I am only clever as I got workshop manual ).Thank you for your help.

Hello , Yes Slovakia 🤪, well that’s definitely what we would recommend to start with , if it doesn’t help chain job it is … rattle is killing the plastic brackets slowly , breaking to pieces
As far as I know on the B8 S4 there are no oil check return valves under the pcv and this contributes to the wear in the plastic parts of the tensioners on cold start up. I assume that the S5 2010 is the same as they both have the same engine? The non return valves are cheap and easy to swap as part of the pcv job. The B8.5 models do not have this problem as they have the valves fitted from factory and stop the oil draining back from the tensioners. My own S4 uses around 650ml/1000miles so although the consumption is not really high I do intend to get the pcv changed later this year.
Hi, very nice and informative movie, congrats. I drive an A6 Allroad 2016 V6 tfsi with 90000 km. In your experiences this engine with dual injection system is prone the same to that ugly carbon build? Second, using my car nicely, not as racing or launching everyday, when should I start to worry about distribution( km wise and no alarming sounds for now)? Thank you and keep on doing this nice materials on TH-cam
Hi thanks ! More videos coming soon :) you shouldn’t have problem with the carbon build if your valves are cleaned by injection before the valves . Audi recommend to change the adjusters at 80.000 miles what’s around 130.000km . But again it’s very individual when they might make the noise
I replace the chains, guides, tensioners, gaskets, Now the engine starts but miss fires, then shuts off after about 10 minutes. Would the camshaft adjustors cause this problem?
Want to buy an audi rs5 b8.5 v8, but I am from europe. If the car would have problems can I come there with appointment of course and get it fixed? I know it takes time, but I can remote work and visit uk until you guys do your magic.
I am from Romania, close to Slovakia. That is really nice of you guys. I will definetly come if car mames strage noises. Checking you videos to get more knowledge for what I should check before and what to ask. Really good knowledge in your videos. Thumbs up! How do you know what parts to get when you fix the s4? Or you order them in Slovakia?
I wonder how many miles were on that 4.2 motor before it started leaking and guides started cracking? I would understand if the motor had 250K miles plus, but Audis don’t seem very durable with higher mileage? Unlike Mercedes
@@pajerofan22 one shop quoted me $8-10k. Other shop quoted me $10k. There’s a place down in FL that will do it for $7000 but that’s if you drop the engine out of the car and remove the accessories
If people kept up with their cars service history, then these jobs would be avoided in the long term. It would also help avoid someone ending up with a massive bill too.
In this day and age I don't understand why gaskets and tensioners are such common failure points over so many years for many manufacturers? Is this a deliberate strategy or just poor design? Let's hope for the sake of our wallets and the environment that EVs are designed to last.. Thanks for the excellent content 👍👏
Purposely done. It's such a shame, too. Catastrophic failures often and it hurts each company's reputation.... yet they don't seem to care. I bought my first, and last, new car in 2001. I'm sticking to 80's and 90's cars. They were designed the best.

Hi, great job! How much working hours does this job demands? Thanks in advance
Do the 3.0tdi engines from 2004-2007 (BKN, BMK, ASB..) also have these oil pressure valves?
Do you have a basic parts list (with part numbers) for this timing job? Thanks
How many miles are typically on these cars that you use for examples for the chain rail base service - the ones with all the oil leaks?
