German engineers: our cars are very serviceable! all you have to do to replace a belt is take apart 50% of the entire vehicle. it's quite simple. 5 minutes to replace the belt and 5 hours to get to that belt.

[@jonlister1981]

Are there not tools to do this job without taking the front off 🤔

[@cristiandemirel1918]

@@jonlister1981 No, this is the "correct" way to do it. It is possible to do it without taking off the front, but it is not recommended.

[@jonlister1981]

[@fighthatewithmorehate4181]

There is the Audi service position which doesn't require the complete removal of the front end... In this video they don't demonstrate the "easy" way. Anyway all repair shops in Europe will replace the belt+ water pump without even putting the front end into the "service position" or dismantle the front end as demonstrated they can do the replacement even with limited access. Lastly the replacement isn't difficult its just timing consuming for the average Joe plus u need to have some experience with the timing marks on this engines so instead of paying 100euros for some shop to replace it u can spend 6-8 hours to do it urself....

Hi, first of all, I watch your videos from Turkey and I really like the useful information you provide. I am also an A4 B7 Avant 2.0 TFSi Quattro user and there is something I'm curious about.Isn't there any spindle in the middle of the triple circle behind the tire hood at scene 35:54'' When I saw the same gap in my own vehicle, I thought there must be a part missing here. Thanks in advance for your help and support!

Thank you for alignment of factory marks. Also who takes timing belt off with out rotating to factory marks

[@autodocuk]

We are sure that your comment will be useful for many of our viewers.

[@akumaquik]

@@autodocuk I doubt it. It just amazes me you would remove a timing belt at anypoint on an engine without finding the factory marks. What even worse is this is a VVT engine meaning at some points of rotation you may not have rotational slop on one of the cams. AMAZING what you did here.

[@azaduk1973]

that's why i sold my audi very complicated to work on

[@cristiandemirel1918]

do you know a modern german car that is easy to work on?

[@liamburbidge7222]

Seen it done with front end leaning forward but i was using drill bits for pins and a breaker bar clamps to the bottom end and chasy. With a tipline to guide so i took mine apart like this took ages but it runs and drives so i can not complain 😂

[@mmatloukgwadi8777]

How many marks are they and how many times you turn the mark

[@fonzil5909]

Did you put the crow bar on there 14:12 to hold it from moving

[@autodocuk]

Absolutely correct.

[@bf2404]

Hello Autodoc, Which brand is the belt kit you have used?

[@autodocuk]

Belt from the manufacturer GATES.

[@erniezepeda9814]

Thanks for the helpful video. I noticed when I took my upper cover off my timing belt the alignment was off by a tooth and a half from the arrow mark. The mark is on the left side of the tooth and the arrow mark is on the right side of tooth in between the teeth. Crank shaft marks aligned. The car was running fine at 95,000 miles in this position. (original belt) So with new belt I placed my alignment marks so the arrow mark was centered on the tooth with the mark. (in between the tooth mark and original position). Manually rotated belt to check for interference. All good. put car back together. Ran for about 40 miles no issues then car started missing. P0300 error. Changed coils and plugs. Ran good for 5 minutes then P0302 error. I think my timing is off. Should I align to designated marks or original timing position. Thanks

[@brozyes]

What’d you end up doing, when I tighten the tensioner it moves the cam from mark about half a tooth

[@brozyes]

May be a little late but make sure your first piston is TDC

[@djsammyb1023]

How different is the 6cyl 3.2L version from this?

[@autodocuk]

Cars with different engines differ with the number of rollers, their location, belt length, and the appearance of the water pump. Also, the engine can be with a timing chain drive, and not a belt drive. AUTODOC

[@dainuri]

Can i have video change waterpump for golf gti mk5 2.0?

[@autodocuk]

We recommend that you contact our technical support and provide the VIN code for the selection of a water pump. AUTODOC

[@cnscm2614]

On my car the crank timing mark and the cam timing mark are slightly off it causes the engine to misfire. How do I adjust it?

[@autodocuk]

It is difficult to say something without proper diagnostics, we recommend contacting the service. Car operation until the moment of elimination of this problem is not recommended. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. AUTODOC

[@urnes_s1422]

Is the 1.9 tdi the same as this?

[@autodocuk]

In general, the replacement will be the same, the only thing that may differ slightly is the design features of your car. You can find more detailed information in the technical documentation for your car repair. AUTODOC

[@stefaneriksson47]

At the time 23:27 it shows that the tree M8 bolts should be be tightened to torque 54 Nm, is it really correct value? My original M8 bolts starts to snap off before 54 Nm. I replaced the bolts to same quality 8.8 and tightend those to 25 Nm. Comments about that?

[@autodocuk]

Yes, you are right the correct torque is 23 Nm, it will be useful for us. Thank you for your consideration.

[@stefaneriksson47]

@@autodocuk okay, thank you for the correct value. Your instructions is the best I have seen, I am very grateful to be able taking part of your content ❤️

[@brozyes]

When I start to tension the belt with the tensioner, it moves the cam off by about half tooth… I moved crank past mark to compensate but then it doesn’t move when I tighten the belt, what is happening 😭

[@TheSpikegreenwood]

did you sort it mate?

[@brozyes]

@@TheSpikegreenwood I just went with the half tooth off, car runs fine. I hand cranked couple times and it was smooth didn’t feel like rods were making contact. I also checked TDC on piston 1 with a long screwdriver it was good. Damn, I was so nervous starting the car up the first time hah

[@TheSpikegreenwood]

@@brozyes yea I bet, scary shit. Did you block it off with the crowbar before undoing everything?

[@brozyes]

When I tighten the tensioner, it Throws the cam off it’s Mark… what do I do, it’s off by half a tooth

Unfortunately, according to the description, it is difficult to advise anything, we recommend contacting the service. AUTODOC

[@slickfromada4635]

Nice vid but why take the whole front end off? Just move the front clip (lock carrier) to Audi service position 1+ (also called Audi service position 2). Unneeded: -Headlight removal -Intercooler ducts removal -Power steering cooler removal -Ambient temp sensor removal -Trans cooler lines separated -Coolant lines disconnected? -AC lines? What? Why? I'm tired just watching this. Just slide/pivot the lock carrier forward and rest it on the front snub motor doughnut. The cables and hoses are long enough and made to do this. Provides more than enough room to service the TB and water pump. Geez. All the best, Hayabusafalcon.
