Words can not describe how amazing this video is and how perfectly this worked! I had to get my timing belt changed on my 2007 Audi A4. I went to the dealership and to a private garage to get quotes. Both gave me quotes of just over $5,000.00. Oh yes, $5k!!!! There was no way on God's Green Earth I was going to give these people $5k to change a $40 belt (not including water pump, etc.). So, I found this video and decided, screw it! let me give this sucker a try. I am here to tell you, not only did this go perfectly, but it saved me literally thousands of dollars!!! It took me 3 weekends to do it, but I did it! LOL!!! Honestly, I can not describe how grateful I am to 1A Auto, you guys are freaking amazing!!!!!!! The first place I look for parts is with you guys, and I will moving forward. I'm an Audi nut, I've had over 5 Audi's and LOVE the car. I realized I had to do the work myself because there was no way I was paying over $200/hr. for labor. Again, thank you thank you thank you!!!!! Before I go to bed I as I'm saying my prayers I thank everyone at 1A Auto and wish you all the absolute best, you all are amazing!!! FANTASTIC video!!!! Literally I followed the video and from the first bolt to the last it went perfectly!!! WOW!!!! I'm a MASSIVE Fan of 1A Auto!!!!

Can i just ask on how many much milles do i have to replace this timing velt???
No fluff, informative and to the point ... can't ask for a better video! Job well done, thank you.

This dude does this like a boss great explanation and how to a highly skilled mechanic 1a does the best quality repair videos on TH-cam
I changed my timing belt and water pump yesterday using this video as a guide. Thank you for creating this video!
Brilliant.
Professional.
To the point.
Your economy of words and energy are an example for all to follow.
Thank you.
+CG Jung Thank you for the great reply. We love to empower our customers by showing you how-to perform your own auto repairs while installing our high quality auto parts. Have a great day! 1aauto.com
I like the way you speak as you explain slow calm and not too many words just enough! Well done man! And steady camera!
I think this is one of the best videos on technical breakdown I've seen. Thank you!! I am curious about pulling the coils and plugs, then you can really feel the engine as you turn it over, without competition of compression requiring a lot of force.. I also replace plugs at timing belt, as with multiple other aspects of updating an engine's maintenance, hoses, sensors etc. My shop teacher said.. Think of related things to do while you're in there.. Do you recommend pulling the coils/plugs on this application for hand cranking? Also.. What have people been paying shops to do this, what is shop spec on labor?? How many laymen hours are you guys seeing on your home repairs? What all items are you replacing while you're in there??
A Dubber Thanks for watching!
A shop tried to charge me $1200 for labor
@@eduardoangeles4412 $1400 attempted charge, for me.
I agree with the others, this is an awesome and detailed video. It covers all the important and needed info and I especially like that he provides the torque specs for reassemble.
Just did my timing belt! Excellent video to follow along. Only have one tip, be super careful not to strip the bolts holding the harmonic balancer!!! Took me over 2 hours to drill and easy out 1 bolt. Used the 5 PC toolshop screw extractors from Menards. Flute extractors wouldn't grab
My timing belt cover bolts were stripped i just ripped it off
For what I hear about Audi's, I did this job prior to finding the video. I was shocked at how easy it was to do this job
Today I replaced the timing belt and water pump of my audi with the help of this video. Thank you very much for the step to step directions with torques, tips and everything. You guys rock!

I cannot stress enough how amazing 1A Auto is, holy smokes these tutorials are a gift from above.
One of the best videos I have ever watched. I am going to attempt to do my Audi. Thank you for a useful video.
how did it go?
These A1 auto videos are the best DIY on the Internet
The best video out. Followed to the T and it was a success! Cheers from Australia. So detailed and easy to follow. My wife and I did it together without a hitch. Took about 5hrs but hey we saved 1.5K. Thanks again!
+Ricky Sumarto Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com
Followed this video step by step while changing my timing belt on my 2007 A4. It's been 20k miles and all is well. Great Video.
Awesome. Very detailed video. In fact, even "My Grandma" could easily do this. I did this in half of day, taking my time. In my case, Audi A Quattro 2007 US model with 90k miles, the pipe running in front of the belt cover was made out of metal instead of plastic. I had a hard time loosing it up becasue the rubber was stuck to the metal. Nonetheless, using the 90 degree pick I and spraying wd40 I was able to loosing it up without any damage. Other than that, the video is very straight forward. It is important to use the right tools mentioned at the beginning of the presentation.
THANK YOU GUYS...
+Marcos Lasanta Thank you for checking us out. Please keep us in mind in the future if you need any more parts! 1aauto.com
Very nice step by step video. When the car was running I think I heard the infamous Audi tensioner noise. You should do a video on replacing the camshaft timing chain and tensioner. I had to do that repair on my ‘05.5 A4 without any guidance beyond a shop manual.
Great video. My wife was quoted $2000! For this maintenance I went to speak with the mechanic, who obviously remembers the car and become quite aggressive when I asked for a quote LOL. ''We don't do Audi's, it requires SPECIAL TOOLING I'M NOT PREPARED TO PURCHASE''. He said. He went on about his 25 years experience. OMG. Maybe he should watch this haha. Excellent video.
I don't even own an Audi A4, but enjoyed watching this video.
Are you okay?
very detailled video! this is the best diy for the 2.0tfsi out there.

Did u do it?
Thanks! You guys make the best videos! Very clear, concise, detailed, and complete. Great job!
J.D. Chapman Thanks for watching!
Do you recommend replacing the camshaft seal? Several kits Im looking at come with the seal, but I havent seen anybody say you need to replace it.
+Alex Anthony Thanks for checking us out! It is always good to replace the seals when doing maintenance to prevent having to tear into the vehicle again shortly down the road if it fails.
Great detailed video, I have not found any other videos even close and are ready to take on this job myself!!! Thank You 1A!!!
+Gene Hanson Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the video. Helped me a lot. Did a head job, intake manifold replacement, turbo/exhaust manifold replacement. Couldn't have done it without this.
+Arthur Covington Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1AAuto.com
I'm trying to replace timing chain tensioner on my 2012 Audi A4. It would be great if you guys can make a video for the chain tensioner. I buy most of my parts from A1 Auto. I love quick shipping and all parts fit perfect.
Thank you,
Jay
+Jahidul Islam Thanks for checking us out. It's greatly appreciated. We'll keep this request in mind in the event that we need to make this repair.
Will a loose belt cause a tick in the pullys or the the pully below the alternator I belive is the power steering could be bad ?
I'm about to do this job today. Thanks for documenting the whole process and listing the tools needed, it's a huge help!
Tuition videos don't get any better than this. Thank you.
great video . I used the last one for the wheel bearing so I know your videos are very accurate and easy to follow. great work.
Thank you! What an excellent illustration of your work.
I’m gonna try to do it my self,if I got it done I will be more then happy,really nice video
I wish you worked in parksville BC Canada.....your amazing.....a lot more involved then I thought....thank you, excellent video
Great instructional video!
By the time the whole front is removed ready to begin actual work the whole belt replacement on a Civic would have been completed.

I found t his video much better than other videos handling similar task. Very easy to follow and understand. The tech was awesome explaining each step while working through. Thank you!
+AdiAbhizPapa Thank you for the great reply. We love to empower our customers by showing you how-to perform your own auto repairs while installing our high quality auto parts. Have a great day! 1aauto.com
Is this the same as the Turbo Diesel or does it have twin cams
BRILLIANT VIDEO
+Richard Simmons It wouldn't be the same.
Thanks so much for the help. The only difficulty I ran into was the crankshaft bolt, which is called out as 12pt in the video but I missed it. Since it is only needed to turn the engine over I just gently used a 21mm hex which gripped enough. Also despite much effort I couldn't get the radiator drain to function. Instead I removed the hose from the radiator, which turned out to be quite easy and not as messy as I had expected.
+Paul Moir Thank you for checking us out, as well as your input. We're glad to hear you were able to make adjustments and complete the replacement! 1aauto.com
Is there a mark on the belt showing the rotation direction on how it should be correctly placed , what solvent did you use to clean the area, does this audi a4 have a rear cam chain ?
Great vid the only thing I think he did wrong, I was learned to put the beltside without the tensioner first as tight as you can than u put the side with tensioner on so u can pull it tightly with the tensioner
Great vid doing one today😜
These video have help over the years and made me a better diy mechanic thanks
Is this the same procedure for VW 2.0t ? Great vid by the way.
Great video on the timing belt procedure. Well done. 👍
Just completed the same on my 2008 A4 using your guide.
I have a4 2003 2.0L alt + cvt. Is it same with this? I mean the replacement procedure is same? How about parts? Which I should buy?
At this moment, the closest how-to video we have to your request is for this vehicle, which is very similar to the one you have. The steps may not be 100% the same, but should be similar. Thank you.
What is that ticking noise at the end of the video when you start the car back up??? I have the same problem
Fantastic,you have given me the confidence to drive my car to the professionals and let them do it,

Hi, what type of cleaning solvent can I use before putting on belt? Is engine degreaser or brake cleaner ok? Thanks
Will this tutorial work on a 1.8T right hand drive Audi?
+David Conarty We don't have a how-to video for your vehicle right now, but the basic steps in this video should be enough to do this task. Buy this part for your vehicle on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
The best video explaining how to tension the belt and where the marks are on the tensioner which no one explained thank you for your video
It's the only video that explains that tensioner great video
Hey quick question so I just brought my Audi A4 2.0T quattro in and had all th belts replaced brakes brake pads tensioners etc. and it is sounding like a diesel car any reason it does this
Excellent video! Well explained and well filmed. I shall attempt the job as soon as I have accumulated the parts. I'd buy the kit from you but I'm in the UK. Cheers
+1ought2 Thanks for watching. Check out our eBay listing for this same kit. From there you should be able to have it shipped to the UK! www.ebay.com/itm/310626741187
Thanks and greetings from Denmark.
+Ole Eckhardt Poulsen You're welcome and greetings from the USA!
CAUTION: There are difference between the US and European version of the car, especially in the cooling-system! In the EU version, there is no coolant-drain. The valve shown at 6:35 will cut the whole system - so make sure it is open before starting the engine... (it has to point in the direction of flow). To drain the coolant itself, you have to open the connectors to the radiator by lifting the metal bars up an unplugging the hoses. Furthermore, there are connectors for the headlight washing-system to be disconnected before removing the bumper in the EU-model. The rest of the Video is perfectly the same- thanks for uploading!
+quattromo Thank you for watching, as well as the feedback. We appreciate all information which may assist other viewers complete the replacement properly. 1aauto.com
Very helpful video. I need to do this job on my friends Skoda Octavia with the same engine.
BTW, it's much easier to rotate the engine if you take the spark plugs out :)
Brilliant video thanks 👍
From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧
Truely an amazingly done video!
I'm not an expert but, shouldn't one hook up the belt on the water pump side first then camshaft so that the slack is on the tensioner side?
Brilliant video! Best I've seen so far. This is very similar to my A4 B6 convertible 1.8T Sport. I usually use a little anti seize on the water pump bolts, and a little coolant on the o ring, hope that's right? With such a fantastic, quality tutorial I have to question myself! Can I ask another question, please? I'm getting a high pitched squealing noise when I just turn my ignition on, before staring. Weirdly it sounds like it's coming from around my ABS control module.., but it actually sounds to me like a failing water pump... Could the sound just be echoing around in there and throwing me off? I've ordered a stethiscope to try and narrow it down. I only did the TB service and water impeller, serpentine belt and tensioners 2 years ago, and I've only done about 10,000 miles since - they were quality parts. I know parts can fail early, but this noise is driving me nuts as it seems to be coming from further away than the water pump. Would the water pump make a noise with just turning the ignition on? It doesn't make any sense to me. It still makes the noise when the engine is running, but only intermittently, hot or cold. TB looks to be in good condition, and both belts seem to be running in line perfectly, nothing loose, and the noise doesn't seem to be coming from them. Thank you in advance for your time, if you can spare any that is! Keep up the great work regardless! Cheers!
+darluthier Thank you for checking us out. The sound certainly could be echoing around the area. 1aauto.com
1A Auto Parts Ah, thank you for this. But does the water pump start up just with the ignition on? Before actually starting the motor. That's when I get the noise mostly. Cheers!
David Antony Reid the water pump is driven by the timing belt. The engine must be running to rotate the water pump.
Torque specs and all. Well made video.
hi Is the audi TT the same procedure ? or do you have any guides on how to change the water pump on the 2005 Audio TT?
+Aaron Noel Thank you for checking us out. While you may be able to apply some of the steps shown in this video, the TT model will have separate components and procedures. 1aauto.com
Hello, thank for this great Video - what is the name of the sensor in front of the radiator please ? thanks again
So im confused from what I've heard you either have a chain or belt. Well i have 2008 a4 2.0t which from the sound of it has a rear chain and a front belt. Is this correct?
yes
amazing video , how much would it cost for you to do this ? aprox
man you are a blessing thanks very much
+Logikoma Thanks for checking us out. 1AAuto.com
its worth a shot if i take my time for it the first time changing.. as long you mark and dont move components i think nothing can go wrong right???????????
Should i change my alternator belt at the same time?
Great video, the bolts however shouldn't they all be replaced? Audi is a fan if stretch bolts so one time use just like their hose clamps.
not all of them. just on stretch-to-yield bolts, like axle hub bolts (147 ft lbs +180 degrees of rotation) or connecting rod bolts, where the added tension creates the greatest strength. the reused bolts torqued to spec creates more than adequate strength for the purpose they were designed for, while the torque spec is enough to induce tension, it isn't enough to reduce the mechanical integrity of the fastener.
I've gotta do this exact same job tomorrow this video just made me realize it's going to take alot less time than I thought lol
@spedward860 how did it go? I am thinking about buying one of these with a bad belt..considering trying it myself
Very well explained and thank you as it helped me get this repair done easily on an '06 Audi A4.
Mike Ashchian Thanks for watching!
For some reason, my marks went off during removal of belt by like 1 tooth or so. I was going to push the cam back later before I put the belt but after spraying it to clean the surface my mark went off so this is a double mess. I should have used a really good paint marker. Anyways, I was able to put the cover back on and realign everything. I was getting stressed out but now I am relieved. I always stayed away from this due to situations like this. Rotating the engine a few times and when everything was aligned reassured my work. Hopefully everything works out tomorrow and I am pretty sure I am gonna get this to work. Without this video, I probably would never do this job. lol.
Thank you 1a auto.for this video im gonna be saving alot of money on this video you guys are the professionals and know what yall doing i am confident on what I'm gonna do.👍👍👍
+Erick Hidalgo Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
This is such an awesome tutorial. Top quality. Thank you!
Amazing Video. Thank you for sharing this instructional video.
Very good video! Took me some more time but in the end I was able to get it done. Save lots of $$$
I have a 2006 A4 Cabriolet 1.8T (manufactured on Jan 2006, the last model year for this 1.8T). Can I ask you a different question about my broken coolant pressure relief valve (located right on the top of the engine)? The plastic valve was broken and is leaking coolant when the engine is hot or even more leaking during a high-speed cruising or in hot weather in S. Californian. I took it to Audi dealer and was told, in order to replace the $10-dollar worth of valve, the repair work needs to depressurize and then re-pressurize the coolant system. The total work needs two hours and will cost me $450. Based on the end of your video, I noticed that you just need to run the engine for a few minutes to get rid of the extra air from the coolant system. Did I misunderstand your video or was misled by the dealer? Could you give me a few kind pieces of advice? Many thanks!
THANK YOU 1A AUTO. THE VIDEO IS VERY DETAILED AND HELPFUL. ABSOLUTE WORTH 27 MINS.. CAN YOU PLEASE INFORM AS TO THE ACTUAL TIME CONSUMED FOR THIS JOB WORK..
+NATIONALIST JANATAPARTY This repair is a little involved, but hopefully this video will help you out. You may want to set aside a good part of the day to perform the repair. Here is a link to the Gates timing belt kit that is shown in this video on our website. Have a great day! www.1aauto.com/timing-belt-and-component-kit-gates-tck334/i/gatbk00030#TH-cam&CTA%20Comment&

Good job filming and well explained!
Excellent vid. Thank you 1aauto. You guys are awesome.
Will this work on a 2007 Audi a3 2.0t hatchback?
+marco chacon This procedure might be different for your application. We do not currently have a how-to video for this particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking! 1AAuto.com
This might seem silly but how many teeth are supposed to be from the mark on the cam to the mark on the crankshaft pulley? It doesn't appear to be marked on the OEM belt or my new one, and I am worried about getting this right
My 05 A4 B7 2.0t has 52k miles on it, when shoud I replace the timing belt/water pump?
when rotating the crank to check for interference/hard binding and one is unsure of what amount of resistance is normal, one can easily remove the spark plugs, then there should be zero resistance, and any form of binding is evidence of the motor being out of time.
awesome video indeed. Helps with my planning on my personal timing belt service.
Glad to hear that it's helpful for you. Thanks for watching. Buy your auto parts from 1AAuto.com?TH-cam&CTA%20Comment&ATony
Good video I subscribed i needed to find out bolt size on harmonic balance (19mm) so i could rotate engine for a leak down
test you did not disappoint now when or if I do the timing belt and water pump I know where to go thank you.
I'm confused.
Is the 2.0t in an Audi different from the one in a vw?
I thought these engines ran a chain.
bigtreesfall I think they’re pretty much the same. Just make sure you find tutorials with the same litreage and if it’s N/A or not. I found a video on a VW Passat with a 2.0T and it helped me so I think it’s the same.
i believe it was just the 2006 and 2007 fsi motors that had belts
good video I just need the right tools very helpful thanks alot
Excellent video! right on point step bye step!
+Joseph Meilak Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Great video! I would use impact wrench for majority of screws around the bumper, cover, bar, etc. (its faster). Its interesting there is no need for the extra tensioner tool/bar to install the belts. Thanks for sharing! (:
does anyone know the technical name for the coolant hose that he is separating at the 8:00 min mark? specifically the passenger half soft house that goes to the turbo? or where to get a new one?
Excellent video and overall great presentation,to the point!

Do you have a tutorial video for the cam chain tensioner for the same car ?
We currently do not have an auto repair video that covers this particular repair. We will keep this request in mind in the event that we need to make this repair in the future. 1aauto.com +Esmeralda Bencomo
Hey guys. After completing the procedure, I turned the car, and started just fine. I watched the bubbles in the expansion tank and refill it accordingly. But I notice that fans were on all the time. I though that there was no coolant in the radiator and since one post refer that the little valve to drain the radiator in the lower hose has to go with the flow of the coolant, I am concern. I wonder in what position that valve needs to be? North and South or East to West. I do not want to block the flow of the coolant. And why the fans are constantly running?. They start slow and then they get in high speed. Thanks for the feed back.
Marcos
Marcos Lasanta the drain valve should not impede the coolant flow. If it is open, your coolant will spill out as you fill it. However one other commenter mentions this will cut the flow. Try turning it 90°.
There is a better way to bleed the system. Clamp off the small expansion tank hose to block coolant flow (you can find the locking pliers for this at any auto parts store).
Remove the vent cap at the top of the coolant line that is under the engine cover. This is a small coolant line running the length of the engine.
Pump the air out by using the right hand to squeeze the radiator hose on the driver side holding this position. Then plug the hole on the vent with a finger on your left hand and releasing the right hand.
Repeat this "pumping" procedure until coolant just starts to glow from the vent, re-install the cap and engine cover. I think I pumped 6 or 7 times to remove all air from the system.
What if you loosened the crank shaft bolt first with a broken belt? Timing issue?
Outstanding work
Thanks
Could you guys make a video on how to change the A/C compressor?
Do you have or do you know any videos for timing chain for audi a3 08 1.8 tfsi? Couldnt find any
