Where should I get the piston and water pump and other replacement parts why am doing over the engine

[@wernerbergh7722]

You actually have other pro technicians watching aswell. You are doing a great job teaching people and keeping it real. Thumbs up

[@240freeman]

Hey NaptownTuner, Really enjoying your content! I would love to see a full engine rebuild on the 2.0 TFSI engine. All these tips and tricks have really helped me out with mine. Thanks.

[@jonfahey07]

Plus one!

[@davedixon358]

Sir --I have a 2010 Q5 2 TFSI -it started misfiring etc -your video was perfect to enable me to confidentally replace 4 Fuel Injectors/Plugs/Coils/ and HPFG --All I can say is THANK YOU --a no nonesense and none ego (ie too much face on camera) presentation May you and your Family have a GREAT LIFE

[@Dillonj177]

I play your videos while I sleep in hope that all your tips and trick subconscious enter my brain

[@michaelbradshaw2069]

your vids are AWESOME!! and have saved me tons of time and headaches while rebuilding my 2.0T I love how you get straight to it and include important tips that are clearly from your experience

[@shanea551]

I'm a diesel tech, doing a timing job for the first time on a 2.0 tsi.. You have really helped. Thanks

[@EXOVCDS]

I love the VAG Quick Reference Spec booklets... the SSP's & actual service manuals . Once a year, I buy a 24hr subscription and download all the new stuff / or items I didn't get to in the past. Finding time to read all the PDF's... that's another story!

[@virtisconsole12]

that reference manual has been exceptionally handy - thanks so much for posting it. Wow, I just re-watched this because I am going through my '13 B8 A4 CAEB motor and I had a ticking that I suspected was a lifter, turned out to be intake on cylinder 2, this was a great memory refresher on the placement of the cams - and went with the slime D154 103 A1 $80, wow that is liquid gold. Great video and I would love more stuff on intake, upper head and suspensions on the B8 platforms. Great video

[@Jhugh17]

I for one definitely want to see the full process

[@mikelemon1147]

me too

[@stevesmith4598]

Thank you for all the videos 🙏 my lady loves her 2011 A5 2.0t convertible, im in the process of tearing it down to remove the head broken exhaust valve 🫣 your videos are 🏆 that said 📿🛐 wish me luck

[@bryanhager1545]

After watching this , and I have 100% faith in your knowledge. The dealership used black rtv on my cam tray after piston replacement. Flood of oil, 14,000 later. Some tray bolts were finger loose. Service like that should be criminal. Thumbs up and thank you.

[@aaronvazquez7893]

They give 3 options green sealant. Rtv. And locktite

[@tltgarageusa7474]

Thanks for the video! Working my first A4. Rebuilding the head. I have dozens of VW and one A3, which was almost identical to the vw. Thanks again for all your videos!

[@caracadomin130]

I came here just because of the exhaust cam issue and this solved exactly what I needed, thank you. 😬😂 fellow naptown technician that just started doing a lot of work on Audi/VW’s and I love your content!

[@bryanbair6508]

All your videos are great, but my favorite are the long, extensive, every step shown/ explained videos. Explain it like we don’t know anything.

[@mvermont44]

Love your videos man! You explain everything with great detail. Would really like to see a full 2.0 rebuild.

[@chrsrans1]

I can tell your a top guy who knows exactly what he's talking about. I am stripping a tfsi top end tomorrow as it has zero compression on cylinder 2 and about 155 psi on 1, 3 and 4. Not sure what I will find yet but I have subscribed to your channel and will be revisiting many times I am sure, knowledge is key in my opinion and you have plenty of it, kind regards, Chris, UK. P. S if you have any ideas of what the problem may be, please let me know. 👍

[@bensonharmon3144]

Got the exact same issue on mine. Trying to figure it out with the engine still in the car. Did you find out what happened? Any tips are welcome

[@billydeathgrind4275]

this is a perfect quick video J you just save me from more headaches with the valve cover that didn't fit after I removed it. and from screw the camshafts up.

[@NaptownTuner]

I’m gonna make a better one, I deleted a few videos, it’s best to put the cams in without the rockers and without the sealant first and torque it down. Both cams should spin easily by hand

[@kristineblethyn1909]

We love you man! I like the jiggle bit after laying cam on the head.It must take practice to know just how hard to slap the ends of the camshaft!!!! God bless you Jared!!

[@jonfahey07]

Thank you for this breakdown! Rebuilding a 2.0 TFSI

[@Ivan-ry7vm]

Thank you, video straight to the point without too much talking. Will follow you future work.

[@samuelmccarty56]

The link to the torque specs is exactly what I needed. Good bye Google, hello Naptown Tuner!👍🏻

[@user-kc1kh6fj2g]

very helpful did not know about the springs on the exhaust camshaft

[@mikelemon1147]

Hey NaptownTuner. Great videos, not only informational, funny as well lol. Much appreciated. If you would make a complete video step by step how to replace the leaky Anaerobic sealant! I really would like to see the proper way of fixing the timing related parts before you remove all 22 bolts and & pull up the cam tray so it does not mess up the timing; rockers/camshafts etc. And how and where you apply the Anaerobic sealant around the parameter! And finally, show putting back the cam tray and torqueing sequence and how much! I would really appreciate it!

[@12superaslan]

Please do a detailed vid! My cam tray is leaking on the exhaust side and I gotta reseal it soon, so a detailed vid about it would mean the world! If you can, can you mention whether or not the engine should be set in time, locked in time, and if theres any special care needed with the variable valve lift on the exhaust when just resealing the cam tray? Love your vids, I watch them practically every day. Thank you!!

[@Michael-xs7rz]

Do a removal and installation process on a Gen3 EA888 PLEASE!

Great Video, Really Apprecizte link to the torque information, Very Very Helpful and hard to find!!

[@debrajohnson4689]

ALTERNATIVE - Permatex Anerobic Flange Sealant This sealant is most commonly used on Camshaft cradles for 2.0T engines and Oil pans and is a great alternative to the very expensive VW Audi sealant.

[@thyomii8953]

Thank youu

[@martomcuser]

I know this is an old comment, but I have a correction - you would want to use Permatex Anaerobic Gasket Maker, not their anaerobic flange sealant. The flange sealant, per Permatex, is not to be used on aluminum as it can cause putting. The part number for the Anaerobic Gasket Maker from Permatex is 51813. I hope this helps someone in the future.

[@BOHICA_]

Like your videos. Coming from not knowing much but needing to learn so I can redo my Audi's head due to a bad tensioner.

[@elvisveerasammyjr3569]

The detent ball sprung out of my camshaft once. I looked for it for hours before I declared it a lost cause. If this ever happens to anyone have your local Audi dealer pull up a parts diagram of the exhaust camshaft, you are able to get both the ball and spring separately and are only a few bucks each. Don’t throw out your expensive camshaft!!

[@Hope-Doc]

Hey, I hope your still active because I'm dealing with this right now. I was planning on going to the Audi dealer tomorrow, any advice or info on how to put it in once I get the ball ad spring? Hoping for help right now... I'm on the verge of exploding with this thing...

[@hermelindomarquez1665]

Do you happen to have the part number?

[@ianwilkinson5549]

That was a great help mate , I didn't know about the rockers being different, Thanks.

Hi Naptown Have Mk6 R and love your vids! Had my timing belt idler seize up and bent my exhaust valves 👀

[@brianmitchell4713]

Excellent video. Question when i set in my exhaust cam into position it does not look exactly like your set position. However my cam line is almost straigt up. Can it be off compared to your pic?

[@johnnyantunez9090]

I have the same year Cc, & the same issue.

[@machineinmotion3028]

Rebuild manual instructs to put the exhaust cam into the cam cover first then slide the cams into certain positions. When doing so the exhaust cam pinches itself to the cam cover and your able to put the cam cover on with the exhaust cam sliders in the correct position.

[@theunamed319]

COOL DUDE! LATER!.. but seriously thank you for these videos. cracked a piston and i feel way better tearing into this engine after waching your videos

[@jeremydoblinger3609]

I'd like to see start to finish the head work being done proper like

[@nequanlucas2162]

Couldn’t you give it the little tap on the sides to be in the position where it can fit before you remove the exhaust cam? So you wouldn’t have to do it later?

[@jclane7152]

Man now i have to completely undo the cam tray and try to clean off the crap that will not work But thankfully watched this before trying to beat my head against the wall and miserablely failing

[@ibrahmullie2405]

[@anthonydalfonzo2033]

Man this was the only video I found that showed me that the timing chain is not connecting to the valve cover 😂 I was wondering why they would do that. Anyway thanks.

[@RandyLott]

May not make a difference, but I added you as a featured channel on my channel. Love your vids, man!

[@NaptownTuner]

Thank friend just checked out your channel

[@MiguelSanchez-rb3tw]

Back of the exhaust cam. squared part. Should that be all the way forward. Or all the way to the back into the vacuum pump?

[@ayodelesodeke9595]

Hi Naptown… my exhaust camshaft seem to have spun its gear. It doesn’t have the half moon on the shaft like yours and doesn’t sit when I try to align the timing mark upward. Is the gear removable?? I see you have one without the timing gear..

[@leepennell3191]

Thank you, I found this really good as I was fucking stuck so sweet brother

[@powayimports4175]

Great video. My question is can you reseal the cam tray with chain tensioner not pinned? Will the exhaust cam pop out enough so that it must be reset the way you showed here? Or can the tray be carefully removed and Re installed in place.

[@fernandomontalvo9308]

What if we needed to move the cams because during the 2x turns something happened and we got off time, and now we are in a bind with the crank stopping like pistons interfering. And we want to start over but it’s not at TDC.

[@patrickgoldman9116]

Good looks, you helped this brother out

[@GerardoVw1]

Audi changed the sealant from green anaerobic to black silicone skinny tube. I’ve ordered new long blocks and They come w silicone . The green stuff doesn’t hold up as good as silicone.

[@abc796]

This video is AWESOME

[@alexak97]

Hi Naptown tuner. I thought I watched all your 2.0 TFSI videos, I didn't. I was careless and lost one steel ball when taking apart 2010 2.0 TFSI, other 3 still in place. What would you recommend I can get a replacement ball? wonder if cam bridge has the same ball size. I don't want to buy a new exhaust cam. Thank you,

really ussfull information thank you. I wanted to know if i polish a little bit the camshaft block with 800 grip to retire a little bit of mark will the difference of height will affect the injection valve timing at the point of causin knoking,loss power or misfire???

I have a request. My car needs the following jobs to be done to make me feel safe about it. 16 b8.5 CPMB w/ flex fuel Need to re seal cam tray. Have an oil leak going into cylinder 1 (small leak around plug. Want to replace timing chain fully (maintenance) Want to replace water pump with aluminum. (Maintenance) Want to replace PCV (maintenance) Want to replace coolant outlet in back of motor, that you stated failed often!! (Maintenance) Want to replace high pressure fuel pump. (Maintenance) If there is a chance you can do a full video of these items start to finish that would be incredible. Just a wish list from a fan!! Thanks Paul - all the best

[@youtuber9758]

@naptowtuner if my camshaft is out of time by more than 90 degrees at TDC, is there a way to put it back into time without removing the top case?

[@mchaudry9811]

I have low compression in first 2 cylinders and good compression in 3-4 after a full rebuild. How do you know if the cam lobes spun? Rebuild was after pistons hit valves. Found out that the cam lobe was spun after piston hit intake valve on cylinder 1. Changed out intake cam. Perfect

[@leonmullings2550]

Just bought a 2009 a4 2.0T wasn't running I got it started and I can here rattle in the head and some of the bolts on tray is strip out . I.goy it like that ,am going to be worked on it this weekend it's my first time work on one

[@hrlican]

Hello Mr Naptown tuner, I've completed my 2.0 TFSI after the timing chain broke. The engine runs good while driving. But when the car idles it doesn't run smooth and there is a constant missfire on cylinder 3. When it runs higher than 1000 rpm there is no missfire anymore. All other cylinders are running perfectly. Is it possible that part of the outlet camshaft which is responsible for cylinder 3 was wrong installed by myself?

[@resipsa89]

Great vid. Im an owner trying to make sure Im not being told I need an unnecessary repair. Camshaft replacement sensor hasnt been mentioned by my mechanic. Shouldn't that be checked first?

Any tips on the 2.0 CJE engine? Theres no place on the cams to put a spanner in so you can rock the cams back and forth for either cam installation or cam bridge. Am i forced to get specialty tools?

Hey man I was just wondering is that trick with the cam necessary? If if I don’t do that is it possible to bend the cam? I’m only asking because I’m having trouble getting my 2009 a4 back together. My cams won’t move now after I put the valve cover back on and it only sits flush in one position. Could this be my issue? Thanks in advanced

Hello Sir, I really like your vedios, its very helpfull, but i have a qustion. I have an Audi A6 2014 2.0 torbu and Ihave a problem that my car has a delay with first gear & retern (automatice gear) with cold start & blowing smoke from the exust when I start moving slowly the car jumping needs to turns off Iwent yo the service center they talled me I have a code P0011 so I have to change the intake camshaft and I know that they have no experiance to repair Audi cars So please can you helpe me with that ? what i have to do

[@igorsirbu1221]

Great explanation as always. I did my cam tray few weeks ago because it had an oil leak and after the first start engine start ticking. No errors yet as I shut it off almost right away and timing seems to be ok, lines up perfectly with the cams and crank mark. Pulled the covers off and looks like I got the old timing chain tensioner and the chain itself got stretched so will replace these first and see how it sounds after. Did you ever experience that and should I look for anything else while I’m in there?

[@NaptownTuner]

Pop out the screen like I show in the camshaft bridge video, pop off the front case like I show in that video then I have a video of sealing the case. Plus the timing chain videos. Make sure your rockers / rollers are all good. Might film slapping a head on tonight

[@igorsirbu1221]

@@NaptownTuner nice, thanks for the reply and can’t wait for a new video

[@igorsirbu1221]

@@NaptownTuner you were right, the last roller arm from the intake side close to hpfp was sitting sideways, do you think it created any damage to the valve or other parts? Or just throw a new one in there should be good to go

[@me5ponk454]

Have you ever tried using Permatex red anaerobic sealant on these cam trays? I've got to reseal my S3. I've already got the $80 VW/Audi sealant but i'm curious. I subbed not long ago and have basically been binge watching these vids. Very informative.

[@user-ow7ih7un4r]

Any tips for holding the cams in place when just revealing the cam plate?

[@jcd830]

If the camshaft pops up when the pressure is removed from the valve cover then why isn't pressure needed to replace the valve cover? I ask because ordinarily the vacuum pump holds the camshaft in place under pressure when the valve cover is removed. Would there be anything wrong with holding the camshaft in place with something while replacing the gaskets for the vacuum pump?

[@gonefishin3620]

Thank you for showing some great tips. I plan on rebuilding my engine here in the near future complete rebuilt. Can you please do a video on assembling the cylinders and piston rings?

[@masonghearing336]

When the exhaust cam is in the correct position so that the cam tray can be installed. Is the lobes in the correct orientation for start up? Or does the exhaust lobes need to be moved again?
