Thank You very much for your 3 part video on replacing the cylinder head gasket on the Jetta 1.8. I have a 2002 and blew the head gasket do to the water cooling line to the turbo leaking. It took me a week to complete the repair but the car is running in the driveway and sounds great.
Excellent work, you are the only one who could explain the operation of the tensioner of the chain of the camshafts and the reason why the marks are misaligned
Really appreciate these vids I've been studying them for about the last six months and because of vids like these I just did a head gasket job in about four hours and got paid.thanx.
your videos are super informative! Great videos. Im going to be doing this same job. not because my timing belt snapped. its because my mechanic botched the whole repair when i had him do the timing.
Thanks man just finish on my A4 replacing head watching with your video !!!! Thanksss
For anyone watching this in the future note that the triangles MUST point to the slot on the camshaft. You need to count the number of chain links inbetween the triangles. Google how to do that. The tensioner doesn't change or correct the timing, it just keeps tension.
Thank you! love this video and the shortcuts are very helpful. Subscribed!
Nice vid, great work, good advices. Thanks for sharing the knowledge !
Thanks for posting this video as enlightening and as didactic even to laymen.
Congratulations on your work!!!
Thanks this video saved me for this job!!! Successful because of you. Keep it up!
Just thought I would add to replace the 3 turbo to exhaust manifold bolts. These are stretch bolts and not recommended to be reused. Great posting as usual by RNR.
Great video you are very articulate one thing I would like to mention is to check the inlet oil screen that is under the chain tensioner for debris that is very important if you are not installing a new one.
Great introductory video, nice job, very comprehensive. Hope I never jump a tooth! Thanks for doing this.
qrtrscale np, glad you found it useful. I hope you never have to actually do it :)
Great video keeping up the good work
A trick that I've found that works really well for cleaning a block for a gasket is to take Marvel Mystery Oil on a rag and rub it onto the surface and cover it with a piece of plastic wrap for a few hours. Come back with a plastic scraper and all the junk just comes right off. Once you've gotten all the junk removed take another rag with brake cleaner on it and rub it down a few times to get rid of the MMO. I know it's an old guy's cure all. But, I swear it's one of the handiest things to keep on the shelf.
I would never had attempted this job if it wasnt for your video! Thanks for doing it!!
I am to the part where i take the valve cover off. My 2004 A4 is a little different.
There is a coolant hose going down through the intake manifold. When i was trying to take it off, the fitting snapped on whatever it was attached to, so i have to figure out what that is and order a new one. I hate that the plastic parts get so brittle over time.
Lol I snapped it also
I was going to skip your video because I'd like to see the job done on a transverse-mounted Jetta motor (mostly how to get to the exhaust manifold). However, you did an outstanding job. One trick I like to use so that I don't pinch the head gasket when I'm placing the head is to put 4 wooden dowels in some of the bolt holes to reduce my chance of messing up the gasket.Thanks for the Excellent Video.
Great video series! Very satisfying feeling!
yes it is, thanks for watching!
Great video! It will help when i go to work on my own audi A4:)
awesome video a good diy job for all of us.
great video.keep on.
Excellent Video. Thanks
Very helpful Thanks
Hello!
I appreciate this video and are currently working on fsi 2.0t cylinder head just finish assembling but i was hoping for some advice!
I placed cams off lower block on bench. Lining up using a cam alignment tool some of the lobes on cam are compressing some of the vavles before installing the cylinder head on lower block. Is it normal timing to have some of the valves slightly opened with the proper timing mark$? Thank you for your videos!
just watched your video, my 2006 b7 a4, is putting out lots of smoke, was wondering that since i have another car to drive, i can take my time redoing the engine?. whatcha think, thanks in advance and great video
You may have just saved my life...here we go...wish me luck!!!!!!
thank you so much man i absolutely love all your video help out so much makes all these intimadting jobs look like take ill be taking my head off my awp gti and this video was more then helpful thanks you rock man!!
jose perez no problem, just be patient and take notes if you are doing it for the first time. GL
any difference beetween this 1.8 and 2.0 tsi? thanks
Did mine, thanks so much
Great work!

Very helpful video, thanks!
Do I need any gasket sealer or RTV on any of the gaskets (valve cover, intake/exhaust/cylinder head). The new cylinder head I have already had the cams installed BTW
thanks to the guys that get the time to put these videos we can solve a number of car problems
can you remove the outter bolts or replace them?
Question for you. I just did a head swap my 1.8t. I followed the same instructions for the head bolts. But I still ended up with oil slowly weeping from 1 corner of the head. I was able to tighten the head bolts more..maybe another 30-45 degrees. So my question is do think the head bolt process is sufficient with an aluminum head that expands and contracts so much? or would u think any slow oil leak at the head points to warpage?
Did you replace the valve keepers on the valves that bent?
Hi, I would like to congratulate you for your video! I have a doubt with the socket that you used to remove the screws of the head, are RIBE M11? several people use the M10, however in the ETKA indicates that the screws in 2.8l, V6 engines are M11! this is very similar to the TORX T55, which one really should be used?
sounded pretty good...
What about lubing the cam bearings so they aren’t dry on start ? Next time use redline before install to remove unwanted wear and tear .
Have you ever had problems with replacing head gasket on an 2001 AWM type 1.8t causing the engine to burn oil afterwards?
You really shouldn't use brakleen cuz it takes all the oil away from the cylinder walls and the the Pistons I find the WD-40 works quite well and lubricates it and prevent rust if you're going to have it open for a while
Question, to clean out bolt holes, can I use can of compressed air, or a wet/dry vac?
Gracias maestro de audi
Would you need to remove as many parts if you were just trying to replace the head gasket?
how did you get the seals out of the crank shaft
How long did it take for the smoke by the cat to go away? It's a new cat and I used brake cleaner to clean around the turbo so maybe this is why?
hey my i got a audi a4 1.8t quattro off of my friend due to him owing me some money and bought a used motor the problems with the car is that the engine seized and locked due to him allowing the coolant to leak into the motor oil and driving it like that. what else should i change while changing out the motor, and do you recomend i do anything to the motor im gonna be putting in?
Is it the same thing for a 2.0t fsi 30ft torque and Two 90° for the bots of the head cylinder ?
What size tool or part number is the head bolt socket you used?
Excuse me, what torx did you use for the head screws?
Were the valves really bent? Did not see any marks on your pistons that would indicate contact. Did you or the machine shop remove the valves?
12:18: Is there a crack in the camshaftcap at the bottom?
Is it the same procedure for head gasket change? except doing anything to the camshaft part? also how much time in total did you take to do this? I have worked with engines just dont have proper tools and a place to work at. thanks for your response.
Also i have a head gasket leak and my dash board shows oil pressure sign not sure why. could the pistons be messed up because of the head gasket leak? thanks again
(Exhaust side) arrow on cam cap should line up with notch in cam gear. (Intake side) notch will be just past the arrow on the cam cap to the right. Starting above the notch on the cam gear (exhaust side) there should be exactly 16 rollers between exhaust and intake cam gear notches. Or looking down at the top of the chain tensioner split 8 rollers to the left and 8 rollers to the right. Your last roller should be directly above the notches on both cam notches on either side. Cam cap arrows and notches should still be as stated above. Looked like he had it right. Main thing is 16 rollers between the notches. Also, another indicator are the lobes at the front of the cams. Exhaust is at about 135 deg. Intake is at about 45 deg. Both lobes should be pointing inwards at those angles towards one another. They should (almost) point at inner cam cap bolts but, if you drew straight lines from the crests of the lobes towards the bolts you should not point directly at them but just befor them. Hope that makes sense. This can be really stressful until you do it a couple times. Good luck.
Hi, could you please tell me how did you pull up and down the cylinders for cleaning?
Rotating the crank, on VW usually u need a 12 point 19 mm wrench or socket and rotate clockwise.
How long did those eBay valves last you? I’m complementing to buying camshafts for my b8 from eBay and from maxpeedingrods.
What machine shop did you use? TIA
Please I need the York of a 99 model Audi A4 1.8
Please start including torque specs. I must have missed the specs for 3 bolts to manifold.
why is the head gasket part number for it I just pick up a audi a4 same engine coolent and oil mix head gasket blow now im trying to replace the head gasket hoping nothing els bad happen still need to take out the head
if got same car i do on weekends thanks
hey can someone tell me what the headbolt length is , because i find there got 115mm/119mm/120mm 😩
Recently my mk4 gti 1.8t timing chain broke...caused damage to 4 of my valves and one cylinder head...so my mechanic sent the head to a shop where they smooth out the damage? i guess? from what he said and replaced the 4 bent valves. and a couple of other things like the water pump and pulleys, tensioner, chain etc. i get my car back and it runs soo slow. it revs up but its like it struggles to push up to 20. my acceleration response is so slow...could this be because of work done to the engine? the job costed me 1575...he says wait two or 3 weeks for the parts to settle but will my car go back to normal or am I doomed to have to get new engine? is it a computer thing? no light or anything are on. I'm so stumped. its only at 97k miles. if anyone could give any info. I would greatly appreciate it! thanks.
Cylinders come inside the cylinder head right?
Please help: is it normal for a "low pressure" light to come on after replacing cylinder head + oil cooler +oil filter? I didn't pull the fuse to build oil pressure before starting it so maybe that's why the lifters are so loud?
RIP
What would happen if I buff and polish the piston heads?
You're never supposed to lubricate/oil the threads on any bolts that require a specific torque rating as it drastically changes the way the bolt holds the torque.
Is the AWP head the same as the ATC or some differences?
Yes, the atc came in a tt.
I’m buying a complete new head with cams and such already in, will I have to take out the cams to get the head bolts in?
No
You'll probably have to adjust the cams though to make sure it's in time and wanna clean the caps and bearings
Hi I replaced the head gasket from my Audi but I used my old head bolts, could I be getting oil mix with coolant because of that?
The old bolts would have stretched, that is why you have to replace them, yes that would a reasoned for the mixture or the head & block surfaces are scored or warped.
Why do a new gasket blown on my Passat V5 2.3
Hey guys! Do you know if AWM and AWP are the "same" heads I whet to a salvage yard and they gave me a AWP instead of AWM the said it was the same head but now the car just came back and guess what, 3 broken valves between cylinders 1 and 2 :( Thanks guys!
so 600 total for a machine shop and new valves?
I just replaced my b6 a4 headgasket and now it runs like a Porsche
+trenton mackey Nice
You mean a 944, budget model, right ?;)
i want to know how you remove the the high pressure shit that is on top of the head
hey, does anyone knows if you can replace an Audi a4 1.8t b6 cylinder head with a VW Jetta, Passat, or golf 1.8t cylinder head? thanks :)
Depends on the engine code of your a4 and the engine code of the donor vehicle.
Click yourself through this site [1] and see if maybe the part number of your cylinder head matches with the donor vehicle.
I know the cylinder heads tend to differ in intake port size (some have a larger intake port, some a smaller).
But i have no idea what else is different.
