ALIGNING and assembling camshaft lifters timing chain 1.8t audi volkswagen

There’s a lot a little details to go on when reassembling the camshaft on a 1.8 T Audi Volkswagen head. Do you want to make sure that you have plenty of assembly lube and the biggest part is making sure that your camshaft is incorrect time with the other camshaft. These camshafts are made of cast-iron so they’re very fragile. Tightening them down evenly is also an important task. Once you have everything back together you torque everything up and it’s ready to be put back into service.

I love the quality of your video bud but, you for real need to cut those finger nails. Im worried you are going to gouge the aluminum on the head. 🤣 Also dont toque your cam shaft outside in. You need to torque it from the inside out. Outside of that good job bud.

[@kurtistrent2034]

Yeah your 100% correct man

[@3n3ly7m9]

Long nails, maybe technician?

[@keepthinking2666]

same as below great job showing the 16 link count and the only thing I would say is show people the cam seal cover at the end you put ultra silicone thin layer for metal to metal,

[@MichaelBrown-bt6hr]

Why didn't you show installation of the chain tensioner?

[@leviwhatever6192]

Oh no, it's the fingernails guy. Can't watch, stopped at less than 30 seconds in...

[@jf8461]

I keep getting a camshaft position error on my 2003 1.8T Jetta, and cannot figure out what could be causing it. It has been checked by 4 very good mechanics including myself, and we all concur that the timing is perfectly set. We believe the problem may jave to do with the reclutor that the position sensor reads, but there is NO information or diagrams for this part. God I hate this car! Does anyone have may ideas?? Thanks

[@zlatkofilipovic1509]

Look in cam sensor if it's metal dust on magnet ,then you destroy sensor .You must change cam sensor and restart "check engine " .several times . Greatings from vw Germany .

[@jurajlitvanyi5410]

I have one question about camshaft seals, some people claims that its better to put seals to its places only after the cam holder is bolted on, because the seals can wrap and cause leaking, they usually do this by tapping with some ratchet socket. In this video, You put new cam seals first, and after that you bolted on the cam holder, didn´t you wrap the seals sometimes by using this method? What is your opinion, which of this 2 methods are better?

[@michaelcastaneda4135]

Love the video but cut your nails 😁

[@shehuusman8994]

Hi! Pls what's the likely problem of my VW 1.8 20 valves car. The was overhauled rings were charged, it shorten engine oil but there is no any sign of smokes from the exhaust. What's the solution to the problem? Please help me out.

[@NaberAuto]

The one critical aspect - how to install the cam timing phaser in the right place without breaking the nylon "shoes" is missing - lots ot time on super simple stuff, but the cam adjuster is missing in one shot, and already installed on the next shot. But at least you showed how to count 15 link pins in the timing chain between the two cam timing marks......but cut those fingernails!

[@scott2495]

16 rollers get it right idiot

[@barnabasbarnabastoth2127]

Hi ! can you help me? 1.8t auq 180hp vvt leon, I changed everything, chain, belt, oil pressure, good camshaft sensor, all the reasons and it throws the error code P0012, what could be the problem? 

[@johnonyoutube6914]

Thanks for the video. Very simple and straight forward

[@harryflocyberman]

Could you just loosen one cam shaft and turn it to correct the timing instead of loosening both of them?

[@luispadilla1675]

Awesome video. Thank you for sharing

[@jacobehlers42]

What’s the difference between the AEB and AWM motors?

[@XproShotz]

AEB is The 058 block and non VVT the aeb was the larger port engine and had larger wrist pins too. Reliable. Drop some rods and go. Awm has VVT 06A block. With internal water pump. While 058 block is external.

i'm having trouble setting my exact same digital torque adapter to 7.5 Foot Lb. , How did your get to set yours that low. it even says on yours as well , the lowest setting range is 29 foot Lb.,, HELP..

[@BOBface25]

You are my saviour thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Curiosity_Cars]

u torgue 1.8T inside out. not outside in.

[@ralphflores3324]

Great video, nice job!

[@robertwolfiii8711]

Owe o Oo I wait in line thanks

[@_WTFCHUCK_]

So I didn't know that the lifters were not interchangeable and I didn't label them in any way when I removed them, but I what do I do?

[@livefree6878]

I think you’re fine, the mechanic that taught me did it this way. If I had a stray lifter that was in better condition, I would replace it without batting an eye.

[@Anonymous-ee8ef]

Replace them all with new ones otherwise you will have extreme wear on the cam shaft

[@user-mt5zl4rp5h]

Hey quick question, do you think its possible to change the camshaft lifters timing chain and set it into time whilst having the engine inside of the car?

[@cosmiccolonel]

Yes, absolutely....

[@JDJD-mw9rr]

Yes just less room to work

[@stinner44]

Very good video. Now did you do this because of a timing belt failure, resulting in bent valves and replaced them? Thanks

[@livefree6878]

Yes, the timing belt broke and the valves need to be replaced because they were bent. Who replaced the bent valves, then Hydro tested them like pouring water on to the valves to verify they were sealed.

[@kevinhawley3303]

1 more question at how many miles did the belt fail my a4 b5 is at 89k miles?

[@actuallyokay6155]

@@livefree6878 could you put all the videos on this repair in a playlist please? I'm doing a head rebuilt on my 1.8t, and your videos have been the most helpful - I just want to make sure I see all of them!

[@paytonallen928]

@@kevinhawley3303 replace them soon as preventative maintenance

[@JDJD-mw9rr]

Your torque sequence is wrong. You start torqueing in the center of the cam and work criss cross from there evenly

[@josephstusse4055]

Thank you so much

[@EJR20]

So you’re saying I can trust parts from Amazon? Such as a camshaft? Cuz I wanna buy an intake camshaft for my A4 b8 and Amazon has one for like a fraction of the genuine one of about $900! Basically it’s like $100ish on amazon.

[@Lehmann108]

Dude, you're not going to "snap" a camshaft because you torque out of sequence! I mean, torque in the right sequence but nothing is going to snap.

[@brandasia2009]

You can snap a cam I have seen it happen at a auto shop I worked at . But it was taking off not going on. It is possible.

[@NugsOfGlory]

100% can happen ....

[@TurtleVerified]

Kind of curious as to why you didn't clean the head before reassembling. Kind of defeating the purpose, eh? And it's already been said but those nails have got to go. At first I thought you were giving instructions to your girlfriend but then I realized.... nevermind.

[@wizkid01]

youre supposed to torque the cam bearings inside-out, not outside-in. oh, and... cut your nails man!!

[@moonrunnerlife1640]

Wear gloves please.

[@barryjamestowlejr8393]

Its important you trim them dang finger nails.
