Audi 2.0 TDI running very poorly... Not fixed, but diagnosed!

[@CarsExposed]

My worst car ever had this engine I was constantly spending money repairing it such a bad design , Top work mate 👍

[@shaneryaner]

Only if you don't look after them snd change oil 4 times a year and do oil pump conversion to a 1.9 tdi otherwise they're brilliant and bulletproof. Best model they ever built the 1.9+2.0 tdi. Just fools run them into the ground.

I had a 2004 A3 2.0 TDI and other than the common hot starting issue i had no trouble with it all. I did maintain it well and was the infamous BKD engine.

[@beluxauto5968]

Nice diagnose Luis . I think this damage happened because of a run away engine . Most logical for me .

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Possibly... 🤷‍♂️ Thank you for watching and for your comment! 👍👍

[@JoeBob79569]

If it was just one roller that came out you might think it was an "accident", but the fact that there's at least 2 of them points to something else. I suppose the obvious conclusion would be a timing belt that jumped a few teeth, or an oil/pump problem. If it was an incorrectly fitted timing belt then it would likely have been spotted soon afterwards and taken back to the person who fitted it.

Hi, In VW UIS unit injector system they have problems of camshaft, is a very common problem.

[@matejanosvarga8877]

Top diagnostics Luis. When I read 2.0 TDI in the description and heard you say 2007, I immediately thought of oil starvation - a very common problem on these due to the oil pump suddenly stopping working, caused by a snapped hexagon shaft driving it from the crankshaft. Could oil starvation have killed the tappets and destroyed the valves?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Possibly... 👍👍👍

[@pedroneves8288]

I had the exact same problem from a 2009 2.0 TDI (170 Cv). The oil pump failed due to that silly hollow hexagon design and, almost instantaneously, the turbo. The problem is that the car information system gives a misleading warning message to the driver and you carry on driving after a simple and inconclusive oil level check.

[@matejanosvarga4478]

@@pedroneves8288 Absolutely, it is just ridiculous all this malady is all down to a twopence hexagon shaft and a sixpence software code line.

[@pedroneves8288]

@@matejanosvarga4478 Quite right! Unfortunately for me it was all down to over 3000€ repair!!! Audis, VWs... Never more, even if electric!

Jeez that is painful..... They would simply have to continue making cars like the Mk4 Golf but, unfortunately, reliability does not seem profitable

[@b4tm4nrubin33]

I am having the same problem with my A6 2007 2 litre TDI with BRE engine. I am hoping it is not any lose roller in the engine. I have had the turbo fixed and lots of other new parts on the intake system fitted (myself). Funny thing with mine is that a few weeks ago it was working ok when i put the repaired turbo on, black smoke had gone and it was running fine, revved to 4000 RPM plus, but then a week atferwards the black smoke returned and wouldnt go passed 2000 RPM. I am thinking its the PCV valve at fault.😪

[@johannapoder2843]

ow someone fitted cambelt wrong and snapped the rockers , done a few of them :)

[@LMAutoRepairs]

[@pedroneves8288]

Luís, could this car had an over rev situation? Is there an OBD code for that? Is it possible to use the MaxiSys to check this situation from the past? Are over rev situations recorded in the ECU?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Not sure if this ecu supports freeze frame... Maxisys can indeed access the freeze frame data, if supported by the ecu... 👍👍👍

[@tomaszpokrzywa3169]

Looks like she broke the cam belt and someone decide to: "put new one and see what happens". And this what happened.....

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Possibly... 😊 👍👍👍

[@theshockbro]

Does anyone have an idea what this could be? Ive a6 c6 2.0tdi, 175bhp version. When started first thing (cold engine) it works absolutely fine, sounds fine. Once it starts getting close to working temp, and on working temp, sounds rattly and is interminently shaky on idle. Whilst driving, car pulls completely fine, no smoke, nothing else wrong with it.

[@thepio14343SWEG]

Im dealing with pd170, same symptoms. Checked and adjusted my cam torsion (intake and exhaust cams) intake being at 0.0 and exhaust side you measure consumption on idle/warm.. should be at 0.4l/h to 0.6l/h. My injector 2 is firing 1.5mg fuel compared to others at -0.3mg. In my case I will be changing seals on injectors.. cleaning the nozzles and finally adjusting rocker arm nuts on top of injectors. At last readjust cam timing and chsnge cambelt. I recommend vcds or obdeleven obd reader to check the cam torsion - page 04, fuel injectors are on page 13 and consumption is on 15. Let me know if this helps and if you solve it.. I'm interested what it could be on yours

[@thepio14343SWEG]

Also could be egr or dpf if you still have them turned on.. I'd start with diagnosing those.

[@thepio14343SWEG]

As a little update, I did 5 runs with intake torsion adjustments.. turns out +1.09 torsion is best for my engine.. at 37mpg. I have set back the fuel pump cam back bit by bit and at one point heard slight knocking.. I am assuming rocker arm nuts need an adjustment or like stated before a dripping injector which I will look into when I receive the seals.
