Hey Thomas saw your channel reviewed over at Steve Robs channel...sure wish I still had my A5 but you can't put a sheet of 4x8 anything in those cars...outstanding channel...the focus on the cam is amazing....
Saw your post on Steve's channel... thanks for coming over to take a look! I might have some Jerky smoking vids in the future (thanks to Steve's how-to)! :-)
Not too bad of a job. Made it look easy
Should be straightforward.
the lower valve cover gasket is just as common to leak. I believe half the people that replaced this gasket still had an oil leak. People!! Always pin point the leak source!! UV die is a great way to identify a fresh leak.
You mean the bearing bracket? You mean sealant, not gasket, yes?

Ummmmm dont use a pick on the pcv hoses, needle nose pliers work great. Just use it to pinch where you use your fingers to squeeze. An angled set of pliers helps
Some guys stand while peeing... some guys sit. Whatever works. =)
@@EXOVCDS that's true, and some guys come up with better solutions while others to the same ol thing wishing for better. I think I'm a win win situation. I stand to pee and also work on solutions to make life easier for me and help others. Not sure where others stand... oooor sit
I want to replace gasket and vacuum pump (2 jobs that you’ve posted on the a4 b7) can I do it at the same time? Which one would you do first? I’m in desperate need of help with oil leaks and vacuum leaks. Thanks!
Yes, you can do both at same time... doing one at a time and then driving the car, might be best. So you know if there are any problems due to the repair. If no faults after the first job (let's say valve cover gasket) then do the other repair. If there are issues (runs rough, check engine light etc / whatever, then you know it has to do with the work you just did. If you replace both at the same time, you might not know which of the repair is causing an issue.
Does the valve cover removal require the front timing cover to be off as well? Hoping to find the other half of my cam follower in there beneath the valve cover lol 😥
Great channel btw, used your other videos to replace the oil filter housing assembly in the past.
At minimum it needs to be unclipped so it can be moved / tilted to the front. Watch the timing belt removal video for the same engine... I'll link it here once I get home later today.

You're awesome man! i appreciate the crazy fast reply. Thanks again for helping us all out.
Would you happen to know what's the valve cover bolts torque and sequence specifications when you tightening the bolts back on the engine? Do you have to thight the bolts 3 times and then on the last third time you torque the bolts using the torque wrench? I heard the torque is 7ft pounds others say is 8 and 10. Which one is it? I'm new at this and don't want to damage anything. Do you have to remove the pcv valve from the valve cover or not? I watched another TH-cam video in which the person removed the screws to break it loose from the valve cover but left the valve cover in the same spot of the engine and just removed the valve cover. Hope you can help me out.
10 Nm from inside out.
Yes, remove pvc assembly first.
@@EXOVCDS Thank you for answering my questions. I have a 3/8 torque wrench with ft. Pounds and NM on the dial but it doesn't go that low. The lowest is 10 ft lbs. I have to buy another one that includes the NM dial 10. This job seems complicated. I want to change the Valve gasket and bolts aswell.
If it's the original plastic cover, it's a good idea to replace it as well... they can crack internally which can affect pcv performance (too much or too little), resulting in oil leaks or vacuum leaks.
That's a first for me/ ign. Coil puller... Ha I thought you were pulling my leg. I like it never seen one for a domestic , probably rip the head off :)
I don't always use it... sometimes they get stuck pretty good, or in this case, not much room to grab them (like on other engines).
I have an 03 Jetta 1.8t. had oil on plugs and changed valve cover. used rtv and torqued to specs. the pcv hose connected to the bottom of the engine had a huge crack in it. I've since replace the larger of the two hoses but it didn't change a thing. I ordered a cam tensioner gasket since I read that could be it. I'm just wondering if I should proceed or troubleshoot something else. it has an aftermarket wastegate that was installed before I bought the car. thank you for the videos saved me lots of money, frustration and time :)
If oil is still getting into the spark plug wells... make sure that the actual pcv check valves and breather valve are OK. excessive pressure in the crankcase will / can cause oil leaks into the spark plug wells and external oil leaks (cam / crank / rear main seal etc).
+Thomas EXOVCDS thank you so much will make sure everythings working then go from there very fast reply too I appreciate it a lot
is this the ALT engine? (2.0 non-turbo), if not would the procedure be similar?
Stefano Princi this is the BWT 2.0T as the title says... If the 2.0L non turbo valve cover is the same, then yes.
what are those tubes you are removing at 7:03? need to know because i suspect my mechanic messing with my car and changing those tubes without my consent. thx in advance
Those are ignition coils... not knowing why you took your car to a mechanic, I can't say that you got screwed over.
@@EXOVCDS
Well i dont know if you want to know my whole story, but if you are ok with id like to explain my situation in full so i could get your profesional opinion. But in short, regarding the ignition coils: day after i got my car back from the shop, after replacing control arms, i got multiple failures, pistone misfire, oily leak from rear driver side wheel, a low oil light,
and then another mechanic told me that ignition coils are new, meaning they've been replaced. Pistone misfire was due to leaky hose i believe and did not require ignition pistone replacement.
Thank you btw.
@@EXOVCDS never mind, i see that engine misfire could be due to ignition coils, at least i was not told that when they made the repair
@Kron Staro ignition coil failures are common when engines get older. Sometimes you have to trust mechanics... 95% don't try to take advantage of people.
@@EXOVCDS what would you think? After leaving your car just for state inspection he tells me that i also need 4 new control arms and rotors changed, which i knew were troubled but not sure if enough to NOT pass inspection. After i agree to those repairs which cost around $1k in total, the next day 1) i get low oil light. 2) i get oily leak(probably break fluid) in the rear wheel, 3) my engine sputters and stalls when trying to start the car. All in all the repairs eventually cost me around $4k.
my AUDI is over 10 years old but has 66k miles, and never had any of those problems the entire time, and how is that he was not able to notice any of those problems during the inspection and why is that they showed up exactly the day after i got my car back?
I am planning to go back to see him and confront him about it, but i really need to know if my suspicions are warranted.
I would PayPal you a consultation fee for your time if you'd be generous to give me your opinion on the situation after i explain thoroughly what happened, and what was fixed. I would really appreciate it and would help me calm my mind, whether it will back up what i say or prove otherwise.
Hi, for A4 2.0tfsi from year 2010 (b8) is the same procedure?
Juan Lopez Not sure, don't think I've done one yet.
What is this breather tube called @ 4:14 I cannot find the part name on rockauto...
Looking to replace PCV valve & seal, PCV Hose, and the tube at 4:14. I have oil leak coming off rear of engine passenger side dripping on exhaust and hope the PCV is related and will resolve this leak...
There are 2 versions of that metal pipe:

Is it Normal to have oil coming in through this tube?
very good vid! what's the torque setting for the t30 valve cover bolts? I'll be doing this job in the next day or two. thanks!
Working without a service manual... hmmm. =(
10 Nm

Have a link to the screws we should replace? Only place I found them was online for $5 a screw and it needs 14.. is that correct?
Yes... should come with the rubber bushings as well.

Contact ECS Tuning to make sure that these are the correct ones for you... ***before you order them***
Check local junk yards for audi’s!
Do the bolts need replaced or can i use the old ones
Cheers in advance
If the bolts are Torque to yield... replace them. The service manual / torque specs will tell you.
Hey did you unbolt the 3 screws closest to the firewall?
Are you talking about the 3 at the top of the cam chain cover? Then no... you don't have to (as seen in the video).
Thomas EXOVCDS Thanks so much for your reply. Do you recommend using Gasket sealer on the Valve Cover Gasket?
hey did you have to drain the oil for this job?
No.
How long did it take to do
1/2 hour?
Yea all those bolts are stripped and over tightened on mine, only could get 2 off rest stripped into a circle. Fuckin stupid
Make sure that the torx bit is of the correct size. Sometimes they feel like they are the correct size... but they are not.
Now I understand why people specialize in VW/Audi. The average repair technician would tear his hair out. {:-)
+wysetech2000 That would explain my lack of hair!
