When doing the balance shaft chain make sure to watch this first kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIicpX2olMxmiKc

[@Mark-os6gz]

Thanks a million Naptown Tuner. I recently bought a very clean 2011 Audi A4 cheap because it jumped time and bent the valves. After I watched almost everyone of your very helpful videos, I pulled the engine, replaced pistons, rings with new waffle oil rings, timing chains, tensioners, water pump, rear seal, had a valve job done, put it all back together and it fired right up. Passed smog with flying colors and is running great with no codes. I would have never attempted this job without your expert knowledge and instruction and you made it so I was successful in getting it back on the road. Your videos are very entertaining as well as informative. Many thanks and keep up the great work.

[@eoghanhennessy443]

Great job

[@ressy673]

How did you get the engine out of the car in order to take it apart?

[@jeremydoblinger3609]

He'll yea good job

[@jeremydoblinger3609]

​@ressy673 I'd say with a engine hoist and a engine stand..they can be had for a fair price now a days

[@wess5754]

Please don't stop doing your videos on Audi 2.0l TFSI engines. Absolutely the best, great attention to detail, easy to follow and understand, lastly great sense of humour adds some relieft to usually a stress filled day of fixing our Audi's so they run like there supposed too!

[@jasonmarchione110]

Love how deep you go into your videos with helpful assembly tips , updated parts , common failures , you are better then the service manual . Your an Awesome teacher!

[@charlesmaxwell1911]

Your video's on the 2.0 tfsi were extremely helpful! Thank you for creating them!

[@hcic8738]

My Friend don't stop doing what ur doing, I assure u your vids have helped thousands believe me!!! 👍🏻

[@MrOmvijoca]

You are the man! This video allowed me to fix my Audi. After all was said and done, it worked great. Lucky for me the valves were not bent, started right up and runs great! Many thanks!

[@davegladys9820]

Life saver! Between mostly this video and some of the fcp euro video on this I was able to replace my chain and make sure I was timed correctly! Many thanks!

[@sipthewater]

Naptown Tuner is truly inspiring. I wish all mechanics were like this instead of keeping the truths from car owners only to deceive. The world would be a better place with more happy car owners if we had more like him.

[@screamingsvtcobra6220]

This guy is the best. Helped me fix so much on my wife’s 2014 A4

[@rizwanhaque9735]

You are one of the best if not the best mechanic i have ever seen. Videos are spot on, no nonsense just to the point.

[@onlyonecannoli3952]

Did you just pull a dirty Sanchez on Naptown?

[@rizwanhaque9735]

What you on about mate?

[@chriscarlton-gm4hr]

I’m picking up a 2013 Audi A5 2.0T soon, I just want a sporty coupe , I’ve been watching your videos I understand there could be potential issues but I just love the A5

[@farchesefedini6955]

really helpful man! going into every single little detail ur content is amazing

[@matbuchanan9765]

Great video. Loved the indepth explanation on the variation between the old and new tensioner and guides.

[@patstewart2204]

I love these videos. I don't even need to do this work but I still watch them. I would like to see P2799 video if you get the time but regardless, first channel I've ever subscribed to!

[@cowboymcq6711]

This guys so helpful And no BS just right to the job unlike a lot of you tubers Blah blah blah for half the video over nothing Thanks BRO you’ve helped me out a few times in the past. How often should you do the timing chain on a B8.5 2014 2.0T??

[@strictlyaudis7012]

Hey man I love your vedios as we have the same passion about the same engine . I learn a lot from you and I listen to every word you say . Sometimes you use fast forward, I would love if you keep it normal , I never get bored, thanks for your effort

[@EXOVCDS]

Great info! I've only ever done one timing chain job on one of these... was less nerve racking than the 3.0 supercharger chains!

[@FloridaBikeSupplyOnline]

Wow! Thomas is watching Naps vids! Been watching you forever EXO :]

[@altosgirosbr9915]

Good!!! I will save it here!! I know I will need it one day!

[@wheelsandmoreautomotive7561]

Hay , all your videos are awesome! Excellent mechanical advice. I'm sitting with a big issue, I'm busy replacing my 2010 audi A5 2.0 tfsi timming chain. Follow your advice and everything worked perfectly. After the chain was done , I removed the crank bold that I used to turn the engine. And there the bottom gear came loose 💥 bang there goes all my hard work timming out and the new tensioner. I need urgent help, how do I go ahead. Do I need to get a new gear looks like it sits on a little lip how does that gear sit tight on the crank. Please help urgently.

[@Schnippen_Schnappen1]

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar

[@cydls688fatech7]

Great video tutorial, thank yo for shearing you wonderful knowledge for us.God bless you Sir

[@virtisconsole12]

Awesome video on the new guides, chain and tensioner.. I just did a quick look at my Audi B8 2013 with 71k miles and according to my VCDS in UDS mode using Advanced Measuring Blocks and I got these values: Camshaft Adaptation bank 1: -6.90° Camshaft rpm: 381.5 Angle difference actual-specified: -0.063° Camshaft position deviation from reference: 0.02° My question is do you suspect a stretched chain? I haven’t seen any P0016 codes, the engine sounds great, idles great, no vibration, no ticking.. oil is good been using Euro Amsoil VW502.0 do I need to pull the upper cover put it in TDC and do caliper measurements exhaust cam to guide, guide to intake and overall ? If I’m within 60-62mm and 120-123mm do you think I’m ok? Thanks!!! Actually looking for advice from anyone

[@swinfield32]

Your video was very helpful, do you have the part number for the updates timing chain kit?

[@waqasazmat81]

question for you, have a 1.8TSI motor how do we turn intake cam? I dont see halfmoon behind the sprocket(s)

[@onlyonecannoli3952]

What about the flux capacitor? Do I need to change that as well?

[@metakentv1574]

Amazing work and video 👍

[@antonovmuminova6760]

Woooow🙃🙃🙃thank you for your very professional videos

[@herbertavalos2908]

Exactly what i needed thank you

[@heydude4532]

I'd appreciate some info on a 2010 VW Jetta Wolfsburg edition 2.0t im working on. Herr's the deal, my buddy bought it over a year ago knowing it needed a timing chain. It had the typical cam to crank sensor code. long start time, occasional stall and check engine light. no crazy engine noise, no other problems but did run. Fast forward a year. I now had time to do the chain. I replaced everything timing chain wise and when it started it made an awful noise like it was out of time so my first though was, I bent the valves even though I triple checked ALL methods of timing. well, it was the phaser pin not locking in so when it started the unlooked phaser pin was allowing the cam to flop around in the phaser housing. what's crazy is it didn't do this when I drove it into the shop? I did borescope inside each cylinder and there's NO sign of piston to valve markings. should I install a new cam and let it ride or could I be missing something?

[@DjSerolmp]

When I put the cam chain in time does the lower chain need to be in time as well as you described? I had to remove the cam cover to replace a broken spring but lost tension on my bungy cord making the chain fall off the lower gear. I plan on removing the dip stick tube to use a camara to put the chain back on its marks. But I don't want to remkve the bottom timing chain cover off. Any advice.

[@leonmullings2550]

Haven't pull my engine yet but the valve cover have some strip bolts for the vacuum can I change the cover and get another one

[@Nuclear8800]

Great bro everything right and understandable .

[@erictrain76]

the vw 2.0l ccta , do they have oil screens in the block near the main journals

[@cangungor090]

When im done replacing the chains how can i make sure my timing is perfect so when i start the car the pistons wont hit the valves?

[@harminderkambow9642]

I have a 2018 (b9) Audi A5 2.0l TFSI (approx 25k miles on the clock). Would I need to look out for the rocker arms, timing chain tensioners and guides failing early too? I only drive 3k miles a year, don't drive it like a sports car etc. The engine is a bit rattly when it starts up from cold, then is quiet once warmed up and drives/runs smoothly

[@jamelatallah9518]

This guy is amazing 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@cydls688fatech7]

Great teacher 👍🙏

[@brad3203]

Wow, he's doing the lords work. That looks like a nightmare. You have to get the timing chains and guides all happy before seeing if valves are bent?

[@donovanmayne5894]

Oh I can get in touch with you. I need to get an overall kit for my q5

[@johncollier9901]

Naptown, is Audi going to recall the pistons on the 2.0 t ? if not what is the best way to stop the oil consumption on my 2009 a4, what pistons will do the job ?

[@EJR20]

Is it necessary to take out the whole engine?

[@donnalepore4795]

I have this same engine and the timing chain is on its way out but not that bad sometimes a little rattling on start-up hasn't done it once this winter i figured it being so cold in the morning the metel chain seems tighter in the summer it ratteles on start up then goes away after a few seconds I wish i had the courage to do a timing chain job I'm really good with my hands I know the motor very well I just don't have well tools and space your videos are great I've learned a lot maybe I will have the guts to tackle my chain one day

[@NaptownTuner]

I’ll do the full start to finish diy video soon

[@FeatureGabe]

when doing the timing chain do I also need to redo my balance shafts I didn't remove the chains at all. or can I just get away with the way it is.

[@bdjm8595]

Excellent info here !!!

[@joeandlesleydefranco7356]

Hey Naptown! New subscriber here. Awesome videos. Ever had issues with a harmonic balancer wobble on these engines (2.0 tsfi)? Checked master key alignment x2 and it's good...Wondering if you have a video that encounters this...

[@bikerboy6985]

Hi man tnx for all videos helpful for sure,does updated rails and chain fit to vw 2.0 tsi ccta engine? Any link for them where too order them tnx again😊

[@ryanferguson110]

Where did you get that timing kit? I wan to buy one

[@gregmccoy6547]

I have a question I have a 2012 q5. It has mid fires in cylinders 1, 2, and 3. The codes that came back are p0300-p0303 along with p0506. I am trying to make sure everything gets addressed. I have seen numerous issues from timing chain to the piston rings breaking off. All the code came up at the same time so I think it’s the timing chain. It’s at the shop but I am trying to educate myself so I can speak intelligently to the repair shop. Anything you can offer helps

[@jeremydoblinger3609]

How close are these to the 2014 vw passat 1.8 tsi engines?

Naptown another well done outstanding Engine timing Chain on these Audi powertrains. @Naptown turner On a 2014 Audi A4 did this year's engine need a to have a replacement Tensioner?

[@craftswithira5386]

I have audi a4 2012 and yesterday when I tried to start the car for work the doesn’t run but takes maybe 10 second crank and after starting upp,and the check engine light came on, I scanned and give me code p 0016 what do you suggest? Timing chain replacement or?

[@ripsaw2322]

How long till the pistons and rings video? Im afraid I might pass you in doing my engine lol.

[@johnnyking1774]

Is it normal to still have code p01600 after timing everything correctly.? Or does it take a few drive cycles to go away.?

[@nvdubs]

Which kit do you recommend?

[@aysmen89]

This method for check Can apply to EA888 1.8 TFSI CJS?

[@seangg24]

Have a question so are you familiar with all types of Audis??

[@westtexas501]

any know what might cause a P0341 cam shaft position circuit range performance??

[@what2a8guy]

Hey, so I’m trying to get the t chain guide rails for my timing chain job, and for the life of me, I cannot find the updated guides (top and engines left) that you show in the video. Even the dealer gave me part numbers that are for the old guides. Where should I buy the updated t chain guides? Or what are the correct part numbers?

[@what2a8guy]

My car is an Audi A4 from 2013, manufacturing date is June of 2013 if that helps

[@joecosta4708]

Yo Naptown Tuner, will the (post facelift) right side timing guide rail and upper guide fit a pre facelift 2011 Q5 CAEB engine. The ones you show on this video, can I just buy those instead?

[@NaptownTuner]

JOE COSTA yes but the chain and tensioner is the most important part

[@brianmulane5905]

When changing out timing chain for maintenance do you change out just the upper timing chain and tensioner or do you do both upper and lower?

[@dumbeezy5480]

might as well do all of them

Thanks men

Can i get a part number for those updated guides please!?

[@christophersmith9091]

So what about the other chains? I assume that they’re basically the same type of sequence if I’m wrong please comment Ty. Also a good video on elaborating timing and how much it could be off and what direction that you’re supposed to go

Tack!

[@batchimed7392]

On the old style tensioner, even if the safety paw quits, there is still a spring that is pushing out the barrel. So it shouldn't release the tension immediatly.

[@jonnymaterne-cn4do]

I need your help!! On my 2015 q5 2.0, I had a chain rail on the intake side broke in half. Now I have the chain off and the cams pulled. When I turn the motor over at the crank, it stops DEAD after about 180 degrees of travel. The lobes and journals all look fine. There are shavings missing from some areas of the block due to the chain slapping around. It did not do this for long, I realized something wasn't right in the driveway. All of the valves appear to be up and closed judging from the top of the head. What could be jamming the crank up? Do I need to pull the head? I'm all ears! I need this car running.

[@seanh9869]

Sounds like bent valves

Hey Everyone I need some advice. I have a 2019 A4 bought it 2nd hand last year with 53K clicks on the engine. A few weeks ago the engine light came coming up with message start/stop malfunction. I brought the car to Audi and they say its the timing chain that needs to be replaced. My question is…..is it normal on a 5 year old car with now 62K kilometres on the engine that the timing chain needs replacement?? I read online this kind of stuff happens around 10 years or 90-100K. I had a VW golf for 10 years and more KM on the engine and I didn’t have this issue with it

[@rauldelmoral8827]

Change coils and sparkplugs

[@1994turbocivic]

Hey there, what would be causing a p0011 fault? Considering my timing is dead on.

[@NaptownTuner]

Timing chain stretched

[@StevenLutter]

So how is it the specs show it to be 1.5 links intake and 2 links exhaust. If you do 2 links on intake your measurements would be 127mm when specs are 124-126

[@rizwanhaque9735]

Is there a way of testing the engine before installing and starting it up?

[@nvdubs]

Un plug coil packs and pull fuel pump fuse and you can crank it over without it starting, or you can manually turn the engine from the crank bolt

[@billydeathgrind4275]

Hey Jared where do you buy the updated pistons to stop the oil consumption I've been checking a couple websites but nothing solid yet. Take care man.

[@NaptownTuner]

The dealership or a very trusted parts website of your choice not eBay or Amazon, I believe counterfeit Chinese parts are sold under name brands based on my experience

Im currently doing the timing chains on a 2010 Passat CC with p0016 with the common failure tensioner. I ran into a weird issue. I have put the vehicle on TDC with crank pulley at the 4oclock mark shown by the timing cover. Have also verified cylinder 1 is in the up position. My issue is that both my exhaust and intake cams are not where they should be. Both are at the 1 o’clock position. They do not measure the 65mm and 125mm overall as specified by VW. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Love your channel man!

[@seanh9869]

What did you end up doing?

Turn your cams clockwise slowly.

i have audi a4 quattro 2009 2.0 i had p 0016 code i replace engine after replacing engine it still has P0016 code what could be reason pleas help me thanks

[@seanh9869]

Wait. So isn't it 2 links on exhaust side and 1.5 links on intake side?

[@virtisconsole12]

Hey Naptown, I replaced all timing components, everything except the oil pump chain, my ‘13 A4 runs great no issues, the measurements were dead on at TDC from center of the bridge to the intake cam mark (62.3mm) and total was 125.3mm. It’s been about 500 miles since I did this but I heard that you’re supposed to reset the Adaptation value in VCDS do you know how that is done? Is it too late now to do this? My current value is -1.5° which seems somewhat off with brand new chain and tensioner OEM parts. Anyone know about resetting that cam/crank correlation after a timing chain?

[@coryjackson6034]

You sir are proving my point thanks... important little details are always left out in these videos... these videos will have you needing a complete engine rebuild!!!

[@seanh9869]

Did you end up resetting?
