Yes. Correct. These is not a spring inside but the pressure moving the sprocket relative to the cams. Using the cam lock tool allows perfect alignment of the cams and then without pressure the sprockets should align to their proper position and only with pressure should they be able to adjust, so when the car is on and the vvt allows modification of position. I was thinking I had a similar issue as getting vvt errors but timing was perfect. The heads off again and we’ll be doing timing again and hope to have those codes gone.
@vieczurable5 күн бұрын
@@moosedroppings Thanks for your reply. Spring loaded or not the uncertainty I have is as follows: camshaft perfectly in place (locked with the tool), camshaft adjuster gear marking aligned perfectly and matching the cambelt (it's teeth), however that moving middle part of timing adjuster has a limited range and maybe could be moved clockwise or opposite if is not locked (some of those have internal locking pin actuated by the oil pressure at the engine start otherwise remain locked (whole unit has no moving parts by hand so installation can't go wrong - is it our case?). If the middle part of adjuster is free to move then the whole range of retarding vs advancing will unlikely be within specific range. I am about to get there in my car to take a risk and check it myself. On one video a guy disassembled timing adjuster from Audi to show how sprocket can move although the middle part which is bolted to the camshaft stays in place so in reverse order when installing it would be possible that marking just shows sprocket's positions as correct, camshafts locked correctly but still system will be not able to move within desired range. I hope I share my confusion clearly. Have a good weekend.
@vieczurable5 күн бұрын
Those gears are timing adjusters are not spring loaded and because they have the central part bolted to the camshaft aren't they supposed to be rotating and moving with the camshafts at variable angles because the oil pressure will work inside of the adjuster (gear)? Meaning - although marking outside can be aligned, the central part of the camshaft adjuster can be in wrong position so will be a cam and as the consequence not being able to move at correct and full range between retarded and advanced angle? Or that adjuster is a fixed sprocket without any moving parts inside? That bothers me a lot and I can't find an answer.

The OEM hoses for the oil cooler are SILICON lined in the inside to handle the extra heat. Thats why they cost more than a regular EPDM rubber coolant hose. I would not risk using a regular EPDM hose and cooking the motor when it blows. This hack of using a regular EPDM is not worth the effort, risk and cost. This hose is under the exhaust and is exposed to greater heat than the other coolant hoses so only a fool would use a hose that's not Silicone in this location.

Three separate rotations, crank, intake cam, exhaust cam. Intake side could be off by itself. But you have to pull the timing belt anyways to adjust. Try not to move the others.
