No issues at all with the starter. I used many of the parts from the donor truck frame and grafted them into it. The front frame and hangers were modified previously from someone else. Thanks for checking it out.

Hopefully the injectors are still in the cylinder head itself. I will usually apply some sort of lubricant to the injector o-ring where it goes in the fuel rail. Vaseline works in a pinch. just make sure they are going in straight, can sometimes wiggle the injector a bit to get it in. The other thing I would check is that you installed the air dividers in the intake ports the right way and they are flush with the gasket surface. Hope this helps, Let me know how you make out, and thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching, but next time, watch further into the video where I show the service manual pictures and explanation to make it clearer to understand.

I often purchase a bunch of parts from FCP Euro or ECS. Check them out first. Thanks for watching.

i don’t have any codes, all my timing marks lined up but i thought that the tensioner operated off oil pressure?

I would not expect that from the chain. Check the vac pump, for air leaks maybe? Thanks for watching.

Yes, It is controlled by oil pressure.

IF you are to do it and have higher mileage I would suggest a new oil pump, but keep in mind that the oil pan will need to come off to replace the oil pump pickup tube. Thanks for watching.

Yes, you absolutely should replace the seal.

It could, but comes in a set so why not just change the whole thing?

@ Thanks! Weird, I’ve only seen bushings sold as a pair at napa, plus I think my end links are fine? Great to know tho

Sounds like you may have an oil pressure issue. I would connect a mechanical gauge when cold, warm up the engine and see what the pressure is at hot idle. Thanks for watching

Are you rotating the crankshaft the correct direction. The tensioners are designed to only take of the slack with normal rotation. If not it will slip and take it out of time. Hope this helps.

@ thanks for the reply. Yes im rotating to the correct direction, after many days of trying to figure out what the problem, i decided yesterday to pull the engine out and check all the timing chains and tensioners, probably there something broken or worn out back there. I bought the car with that problem that the engine is not running and had and upper tension broken and the right side valvs are bent, i bought a used cylinder head with valvs and cams and replaced and now having this issue where in some point i can’t rotate the engine anymore. If i take the right side chain and cams off then the engine will rotate normally without any issues. It’s my first time to have this kind of problem, especially with this kind of engine, but anyway im working on taking the engine out and see. I will update the status after im done with it, in case if someone has same issue. Thanks a lot for the reply and have a great one.🙏

IDK, Can they?

Well, That is good?

Replacement of the chain and tension absolutely can be done while it is in the car. I have another video on it in the car, but it was hard to film to show how it was done. Thanks for watching.

Haha, this thing needs a junk yard.

A p1630 is a throttle pedal code. I would get a scan tool that gives you live data and check that it is reading correctly. Can also try and set basic settings if you have a vag type scanner like the one from Ross tech. Thanks for watching.

@ I’m sorry my codes are p1613 short to positive

Is this caused by the injectors?

Should check the output of your fuel pump. Could be causing the hard start as well.

If you can not figure out how to unbolt the transmission I would suggest having someone else replace the clutch. Thanks for watching.

Yes, There were bent valves. I have taken apart so many VW and Audi turbo engines. I have never seen one that did not bend at least one valve after a failure. I would often take the valve out, and chuck it in a drill so I can spin it. Its an easy way to see if its bent. Even a slight bend will not seat correctly and will burn the valve seat up very fast if not replaced. Thanks for watching, and good luck.

Chain held up fine, strange enough the guides failed after a year. I like the Clotes stuff but I was surprised that it failed so quickly.

@@willpoweredgarage969 damn thats why i asked because cloyes has always been good but i’ve heard they’ve been declining in quality over the years. Im doing this job in 2 weeks i need to make sure its quality lol good video though thanks for giving me an insight and im definitely gonna make a homemade timing chain tool lol

Well, I have to admit that I ended up having to replace one of the seals afterwards. Thanks for watching.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

No, of course not. We have been extra busy the past few months with all the kids' activities. We will have you something soon. I know not exactly what you asked for, but I hope you love it.

@@willpoweredgarage969 i know i will

Thanks for the spelling lesson.

Elsa pro, need to be a dealer tech to gain access.

@@willpoweredgarage969 Can Audi give it to me?

Thanks for pointing it out, and thanks for watching.

Might as well have been.

Yeah, if its the first time they Loctite them from the factory. A little heat on the bolt will loosen it up and will come out much easier.

Hey there, Thanks for the kind words and watching. These vans are getting hard to find parts so being able to fix parts is very helpful. Thanks for watching and glad it helped you out.
