Nice video Josh, your an honest man, held your hand up about gearbox, nice work on the Audi

[@georgedaville4662]

Really interesting video Josh, fascinating to see how complicated all these timing and drive chains fit together in such a tight space. 😡🇬🇧😎

Enjoying all of your content, I will need to do a Ford Eco engine wet belt, and from your video I am pretty confident. Thank You

Bare with as there's 3 Ecoboosts coming up!

Great job, nice to see Audi putting the chain on the front of the engine unlike BMW!

When are you posting a new video? Missing the work you do..

[@Johnny16781]

Well done on that one !!!! 😁

[@peterarries7879]

Nice descriptive video

Had the tensioner ratcher not failed causing chain to jump on 1st start up. Cheers

[@jrvehicleservices]

The chain had stretched to the point the tensioner wasn't very effective. I have to admit it has been a while since we did the job but I know what you mean. However the tensioner spring usually holds a but more tension on the chain than this one had!

I have a 2013 Audi S5 with the TFSI 3.0l, on every start up when cold it sounds like the chain is rattling, im assuming this is a good point to replace the chain then huh? 146,000 miles on it. No idea on the maintenance because i bought it at auction. Never did one of these. Rattle goes away on warm start up

Do you do any bmw stuff engine/gearbox?

Hey man, I see you posted this very recently and I have an urgent question about the turbo inlet hoses for the B8 2.0T A4's, and the one for the B8 2.0T Q5. I'm trying to install an aftermarket intake for an A4 on my Q5, and saw a video of someone making the fitment, but not showing how he did the inlet hoses. I'm concerned about this, because the inlet hoses for the Q5 and A4 have different part numbers. (A4: 06H129629J), and (Q5: 06H129629L). I personally couldn't find a difference between the two parts, so what do you think?

[@maktoubtube3646]

And to clarify, the intake kit comes with its own Silicone tubing that is meant to attach to the turbo inlet on the A4.

I always thought timing chains were better than belts, I'm having my doubts now.

[@jrvehicleservices]

I'd rather have a dry cambelt over a chain these days

[@khalidacosta7133]

Chains used to be better but now, I'd rather have a belt. Belts when used, are meant to be serviceable, hence placed in accessible locations and both tend to last around 100-140k miles! The only advantage to chain is if you only do low miles per year and hence, never reach the 150k+ mark before car is scrapped.

[@Matt-pc5nb]

Does the 2019 1.5 TSI 150 bhp engine suffer the same fate? Great viewing, keep the good work up.

[@jrvehicleservices]

Should be a timing belt on a 1.5 TSI

[@torquesteer2657]

Great job bud! What year was the car and how many miles?

[@jrvehicleservices]

2013 and about 50k from memory!

[@torquesteer2657]

@@jrvehicleservices Thanks for letting me know 👍🏻 Enjoying the vids you are putting out.

[@brianb7636]

I'm confused. Why do the marks on the chain not line up after 2 revolutions? Unless the cam wheels move relative to the cog teeth or there is loads of slack in the chain I don't see why they don't line up...

[@jrvehicleservices]

It just moves along as rotated as everything isn't even in size, cam and crank pulleys are different sizes
