Oh boy, have got a story…make it 4 NT! Bought my 13 Q5 Aug. 2021 from a dealer, carfax showed excellent maintainance, including presale service, 9 months later took a road trip in June last year, heard a strange metallic fluttering one evening at idle, no CEL, next morning no noise, drove back home from Louisiana no problem . Everything normal after 7k road trip. Then about a month ago a slight squealing sound after warmup and at idle only, checked everything all good, but sound emanating from behind cam bridge passenger side. Took it to the dealer, they suggesting the shield was in pieces and they had even seen a piece through the oil fill but no luck getting it out. They recommended tear down, “thanks but no” but thank you for the clue. I had previously done an oil service, never even noticed or thought of that shield. So I ordered up a boroscope and a couple of flexi magnets which haven’t even arrived yet, but two days ago (on a dry day after all the heavy rains here in the Bay Area) I noticed the sound went away, pulled the oil cap and way down below the oil drain gallery opening, there I noticed a piece of that shield just sitting there!!!!! Well I got to work to fish it out, turns there was both halves were under there!!! Took about 60-70 attempts as I was lifting from the edge of the pieces, and what I can’t fathom is the both pieces were a little bigger than than oil drain hole, that is just diabolical! So it took lifting it to the hole then grabbing with my long pointed needle nose pliers, but I got em both, afree about 2 hours. But in reviewing this video, I am missing the two skinny attachment tabs, hopefully they got flushed down to oil pan, will be doing an oil drain inspection next. No scoring on the intake cam lobes that are visible at oil fill, when the boroscope arrives, I will look at exhaust cam lobes. But for now that engine is still purring like a fat kitty! Maybe I better buy some Lottery tickets either way, lucky or not???

Oh shit this makes sense. I'm gonna do this to my 2010 Tiguan when I fix my exhaust and intake valves for Cylinder 1 and 2. I gotta do a timing chain replacement too because my belt ripped on me in the beginning of the year. I have a 2000 Infiniti G20 that is lovely because it takes regular gas and saves me money but winter is coming and I heard it might be a cold snowy winter in Philly so i gotta get'r done.

[@ripsaw2322]

Dude that gave it a thumbs down must have a short attention span

[@isasisneros724]

UPDATE: 13k miles later I got a hard misfire code on #2, not spark plug, not coil, low compression #2 cylinder, oil pan was pulled, metal fragments, motor shot! It started as a soft misfire at idle mostly, and got progressively worse, but got us home 2k miles later, we were in the middle of a road trip. Used motor being installed at the moment with new TC, WP, rear main seal, etc. It was a great engine at 130K+ until that “camshaft shield” was ingested !!!

Cat is also clean .. no debris , only other faults i have is about one month ago i was driving and it sounded like something popped and air was hissing out for around 30 seconds and has never done it since .. rear main seal ? Any help would be beyond helpful .. as im down on power with a misfire and have a loud hising noise as i accelerate and cant tell the difference if its standard turbo noise or something bad ..

Replaced coils,plugs,coil connectors,timing chain and tensioner,pcv valve,both oxygen sensors,air oil separator,cam bridge, spool valve and magnetic adjuster. Did all this and my check engine light still flashes with a random misfire and codes for pcv and o2 sensor after I already replaced them. Could the issue be that I need to reset the car with a vcd cord and program on a laptop? Please I need your help this is my only car

[@magicscarf2010]

Is this a problem for A4 B9 as well?

[@custombaby]

As an engineer (not automotive) I wonder why that thing is there. No way they put a part there for fun. It must be mitigating some risk of dropping something in the hole. I'm not saying that you need it...just that someone decided that dropping a cap from a quart of oil or something was likely enough that they needed to do something about it.

[@isasisneros724]

A plastic cap is better than that shield getting chomped up to pieces by the spinning lobes, lucky my shield just got snapped in two retrievable pieces!

[@isasisneros724]

Perhaps it prevents oil seepage at the fill cap if the rubber seal fails, so it doesn’t end up looking like an old Chevy v8 valve cover😜

[@alexvega7527]

I trust your judgement as a 2.0 Audi oligist :) and I wanna ask something I usually did my oil changes every 5000 miles on my old Q7 3.6 . I have the new 2.0 is it okay I do it every 5000 on this engine too ? I read something about detergents in oil and changing to soon can hurt the engine . Thank you 🙏 for all you do and I love your vids !

No way changing oil sooner can damage your engine man. It's even better .

[@jerryx2000]

Hey man I want your honest opinion. I own the A4 B8 2.0 TFSI since 2011. The engine was using 1l oil per 1000km. I got a new Audi motor in 2014 for free as the car was under warranty. Since then no oil usage, just the cooler went bad in 2020. Now the car has 190,000km & it is running perfect. Would you sell the car or keep it for another 200,000km?

Hey Naptown, looking for some help.. 2013 audi a4 2.0t, 93k miles have code p0302. (Only misfire at idle, while driving no misfires) Replaced coils and plugs with red top coils and ngk platnium plugs. Still has a misfire, removed intake and replaced all 4 injectors. Still throws a p0302 def noticed a difference not missing as bad. Had carbon build up on valves. Didnt do a crazy job or soak them and clean them just scrapped valves and vacuumed it out. Looking for any tips or advise on where to go next or anything with these engine thats normal to go bad etc. will be doing compression and leak down test only thing i did not do yet, Thanks for any information -Justin

[@mikezliddle2029]

Watch out for wires, able coil connector. Because plastic item can’t reader on wires plugs for the connector to feed ECM due overheat, and debris, if still not. Then look up on secondary injectors, which is on left side next to connector coils. Let see what we got there within results. Cross fingers!

[@djsoulfilter]

Any update?

[@isasisneros724]

PS. The dealer did mention something about quick lube hotshots and their oil filling pistols! Obviously they’ve seen this issue and nobody's paying for it but us!! Pay attention to Naptown Tuner, da 2.0T guru, I said it…

[@johnjerrehian4642]

Interesting but I have never had an issue with any of my Audi's with this. Maybe it's because I do my own service. Totaling the miles of the last 5 Audi's I owned, (and the two I still own) that totals 942,000 miles and counting.

[@NaptownTuner]

After spending some time with It, turned out to be cylinder 3 and it was in the engine, when I have time I’ll take it apart and figure it out, very rare misfire that would come and go could have been a valve spring.

[@gagencarlson]

@@NaptownTuner ok because I was having misfire on cylinder 2 turned out to be the fuel injector stuck open. Fludding the cylinder. Took of the injector tapped it around some.

I went with a friend to pick up a used a5 and checked it over for him. Had a cylinder 2 misfire so he got a decent deal. I told him it was probably just a carbon clean to fix it so he bought it with my recommendation. Turns out this stupid piece fell in and ruined the exhaust cam and rocker.
