This is probably one of the best 2.0tfsi timing vids cause it's all recorded live and very little is cut and edited. Good stuff....book marked!

Yeah bro I’ve watched Sabóia 100 of these you are the first person to touch the ac thanks for trying to make this harder than it needs to be

[@virtisconsole12]

I’ve done a few of these B8 CAEB motors now and I agree it’s just a pita if you don’t completely remove the front carrier.. but you don’t need to evacuate and recover the R-134a system the condenser can be removed from the radiator support and swung out of the way with disconnecting the pressure switch.. I just carefully set it out to the left side and then remove the carrier .. no problems at all

Great video! And my props to you for owning a mistake. Mark of a good mechanic!

[@timsendrowski2691]

Great video. You took the time to explain the areas that were important and skimmed over the areas that were treated with common sense.

[@eto2352]

excellent explanation and step by step, thank you. Some great tips in there.

[@usmanchedoloh]

Nice video I will support u bro ❤ But if you can Shoot a video from close up so that viewers can see clearly. Good job 👏

[@mikeagueros7672]

great video, thanks for all the detail and guidance!

[@tonymacias3523]

Thank for the video . Done many of these in my shop. I did learn new steps to make things easier. He Great job well done.

[@joepaquette7435]

Great video. I'm in a pickle and will be referring to it as I navigate my way thru timing set and possibly valves or head replacement.

[@deejay4837]

I'm not a mechanic nor as good as you are, but I would've swapped out the balance shafts due to the failure rate that I'm sure you know by now...Great video. Love the platform, hate the problems. Keep 'em coming!👍

[@monatelierfavori1582]

Good job thanks frend

[@tkorte101]

Great presentation! Now why couldn't you have done that when you were leader of the CPC?

[@SanGanjaAWD]

Great video on how to mess up timing on the first try and go back and do it again 😂

[@aesca151]

Nice video. Where can I find a good service manual for this job. I have a CYMC Gen 3 engine

[@fiily1]

Done this a couple time on these CAEB's, and the timing setup and skipping of he chain is frustrating as when you get everything line up, your crank timing sometimes are off a 1/2 tooth.

[@mikeagueros7672]

I am replacing the timing chains on an audi Q5 2011, do I really need to replace the cambrigde and upper timing cover? I will replace the gasket for the upper timing cover

[@sawfishv6565]

Why would you drain the A/C? There’s a reason that the condenser if fed by high pressure rubber hose You can just swing it to the side and do the work

[@hotshotfx3502]

Great job, seems overwhelming, but it's probably not.. Younger days I did many vr6 12v timming chains, but this b8 2.0t .. yikes

[@jessel1650]

I’m in the process of figuring out my timing now 2012 A4 2.0, car was running rough and had a pretty loud tapping with P0016 fault.. after removing both timing covers. Timing has been done very recent, I bought the car with the issue, I checked timing and seems everything is ok.. only thing is I measure 70mm instead of 61-64mm and 125mm across, do you think it’s out of time? I’m about to remove the cam tray for further damage that previous owner maybe didn’t want to address

[@nard0q695]

can u fix my q5? where is ur shop located?

[@Plus2-1]

Are there any basic settings/adaptation values that need to be reset via VCDS, OBDeleven, etc? I was at -8.71 for the Camshaft adaptation intake bank 1 phase position, with a fully extended tensioner, when I had my chain replaced. Now I have one device showing a healthy -.92 for phase position, but another giving an odd value of 29.0°F. Not sure what to make of that.

[@gowithaci8113]

Technically no. But you can use VCDS/OBD11 to reset chain elongation adaption if applicable. Not all cars support it. Audi would have supported it earlier than VW.

[@ryancarlson8959]

My mechanic says I need to replace my timing chain on 2013 A4. I don't notice any signs of an issue no light or anything but he said it's showing it at a -7 on the obll scanner . Should I do it ?

[@fernandomontalvo9308]

Hoe is it running right now?

[@bkameka69]

I know nothing about timing. When you say it should be +5/-5, is that from 0??

[@gowithaci8113]

We are talking about chain deflection. So technically the cam timing deflection will never be 0. So on the scan tool you will see the measurement as low -5 or as high as +5. That’s the maximum values allowed to be safe. Normal running deflection is between -1.7/+2.4. That’s the range I see. And remember that number should stay static while running. If it’s jumping around you have either something wrong or the wrong IDE value picked. Any other questions, feel free find us on Facebook, Instagram and our website @gowithaci. Thank you for watching.

[@bkameka69]

@gowithaci8113 thanks for the response. I ask because I have a 2014 2.0 Q5 and just had some timing and motor work done 2 weeks ago. I have a Bluetooth scan tool and my timing doesn't have steady values. I've seen it jump up to 12° while idling, but thought that was normal since it just came back from the shop. Time to take it back!

[@neildantino4709]

I do NOT understand why you just didn’t put it in Service Position? Pull bumper cover, headlights & trays. A few plugs, bolts, etc and the whole front clip swings down giving TONS of access to front of motor. No messing w/ boost hoses or coolant hoses. Easy as hell

[@SauceBauce_]

He did have it in service position

[@RobertTm]

@@SauceBauce_ this is not service position. Service position keeps all your lines and crash bar still on

[@SauceBauce_]

@@RobertTmI'm pretty sure that service position is when the whole front end gets taken off and put to the side. He didnt partially take it off.
