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!!!!

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!
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
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!
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 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.
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??
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...
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.
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.
+PatrickThang Thanks for watching. If any of our viewers needs to make this repair we carry the replacement part shown in this video on our website. Here's a link to them www.1aauto.com/timing-belt-and-component-kit-gates-tck334/i/gatbk00030?TH-cam&CTA%20Comment&ATony
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.
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!

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.

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😜
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
14:42 hey, dont do it like that. Put the belt from waterpump side and pull The lack from there. If you do it like that then the belt tensioner will rotate the lower gear by one and then you will have broken valves. LIKE THIS SO EVERYONE SEES THIS.
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?

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 :)
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 ?
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&
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.
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.👍👍👍
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.
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
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?
7 ปีที่แล้ว
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! (:
+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.
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
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.
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.
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???????????
+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

BTW, it's much easier to rotate the engine if you take the spark plugs out :)
Torque specs and all. Well made video.
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 ?
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 ?

I'm confused.
Is the 2.0t in an Audi different from the one in a vw?
I thought these engines ran a chain.

i believe it was just the 2006 and 2007 fsi motors that had belts
Excellent vid. Thank you 1aauto. You guys are awesome.

Tip
Remove spark plugs to reduce needed pressure to turn motor over also helps to find TDC (:
