How to Install/Replace a Timing Chain - MQB Audi A3 2.0t

[@scottfereday7834]

1:14:14. Watched the whole vid. Good stuff. Wish I had all the necessary tools and equipment to do my own, but it ain’t in the cards. I’d love a T-shirt though 😂

@scottfereday7834 what's your email! You know what's sad. Only 3 people have watched this all the way through. Also pm me at [e-mail] i have to deleted the comment, or can you edit it, so nobody sees the gift inside the video?

[@vdub819]

I must say the edit and flow of this video deserve way more subscribers than you have props sir this is a banger video

[@boostdynamictuning]

@vdub819 thank you! One day I'll pop off lol

[@WheelzonWheels]

Awesome video! Would like to have seen what the cam phaser adaptation numbers looked like afterwards though 😋

[@mariosolorzano7657]

great video, maybe next time you can insert images of the tools we need, i know it can be done without some speciality tools, but us noobs need to get all the tools sometimes. also what happens if it jumps timing? and what year range is this video good for?

[@arthorjames1295]

Does pulling the engine up like that not stress other mounts like the transmission or something??

[@nenadperic4779]

Great video, very informative! I have to do a lower timing chain cover on mine and this is going to be my reference point 😀. One question: Isn't the harmonic balancer seal PTFE? I think I saw you lubricated it and I have read those are supposed to be installed dry so I'm wondering what to do here to avoid leaks in the future? Thanks for the video and I'll forego the T shirt given how far away I am.

[@gbgmoebetta7943]

How did you get the flat plane piece off of the timing chain?

[@jasonjay7650]

Is this the same as an S3 engine?

[@boostdynamictuning]

@@jasonjay7650 yes it is

[@cuckoos1651]

If I am to just be changing the bottom timing chain cover due to an oil leak, do I need to mess with the timing chain at all? Or can I just pop off the harmonic balancer and the cover and replace it?

[@boostdynamictuning]

@cuckoos1651 correct, nothing needs touched with the timing. Just replace front cover and go on with your day.

[@davidmusiyenko4158]

Requesting more B9 S4/S5/SQ5 hardware/performance/and especially maintenance items install.

[@boostdynamictuning]

OH, we have A LOT in store for you coming shortly for the B9 Platform. Which videos are you looking for first?

[@davidmusiyenko4158]

@@boostdynamictuning mostly maintenance items in my opinion. Considering there’s nothing online, especially videos. Performance hardware/install is very important too, like stock turbo>hybrid is probably the biggest one!:) would be nice address what else is needed when it comes to maintenance.

[@y0BaileyM8]

Great video and have just replaced my chain on my Mk7 Golf GTI using this as reference (EA888 Gen3), all the timing marks line up and it runs and drives perfectly but there is now a correlation fault - (14867 - Bank 1: CMP Sensor 3 (G300)/Engine Speed Sens (G28), P0017 - Incorrect Correlation). I have tried carrying out basic settings with VCDS but still bringing up the same fault, do you have any info as to what I could do with this please? Thanks a lot!

[@boostdynamictuning]

@y0BaileyM8 the crank pulley is probably not in the correct spot. Take off the crank and make sure it's in the correct key way. If that makes sense

[@tylawal3705]

How do i get all the replacement bolts

[@justinrussell5965]

Dem t-shirts still available?

[@MindRealityBuilder]

The 2 lower mount bolts, can you re-use those bolts? If not, where can I purchase them from and the torque specs as well?

[@boostdynamictuning]

If they're torque to yield... meaning you out a 90-degree turn on it. Those ones you can't reuse. If it's just a torque spec no degrees, then yes, you can reuse. Just out blue loctite on it.

[@alricher7037]

how much would it cost ? and how much time ?

[@rickyedmiston2054]

hey, im wondering if you can give me a parts list, I have the same issue on my car

[@mikeyconner6266]

You got 2 grand 😂

[@RevolutionMods]

great information video. hopefully catches some traction for viewage

[@boostdynamictuning]

Just here to help the people. Hope you enjoyed the content.

[@Kris0210]

Going to do the lower timing cover do I need to remove upper motor mount? Or can I get away with coming at the all the bolts from the bottom ?

[@boostdynamictuning]

Should be able to get all the bolts from the bottom. Now the upper timing chain cover would require engine mount removal.

[@loyloy512]

Do you have to run any timing chain adaptations on vagcom afterwards?

[@boostdynamictuning]

Odis states to do a cam gear test. Which simply resets adaption. You can do this with vcds. Personally do you need to? No. I've done it both ways never saw differences

[@jimmyjames7683]

Thanks for the very informative video. I have a 2017 Audi A3 with the base 2.0 TFSI, When would you recommend a timing chain replacement? 60.000 Miles? James from Canada 🇨🇦

[@boostdynamictuning]

Not a problem! Glad I could help. I would look into vcds and look at cam phasing It's not really a mileage based thing. It's more jusy the comments getting old and wear.

[@exoticfire5946]

so in alldata it says after performing work on the chain drive the adapttation value in the ecm must be adapteded is this correct or is that why it has the long crank and will it adapt itself? i have a head gasket job that i am thinking of sending elsewhere over this any responce would be greatly appreciated.

[@boostdynamictuning]

Yes you need to erase the adaption. It's not mandatory but should be performed. It's not an easy job that's for sure.

[@yamaha34461]

whats the approximate cost for a dealership to do this job?

[@boostdynamictuning]

This information will be dependent on your State/Shop. You will have to call your local dealerships/Shops to get this information.

[@RacersRUS69]

Easily 4-5k

[@ZackWhite-z4i]

free t-shirt what does it look like?

[@ethanstratton3822]

is this similar on a 2016 audi 2.0t tfsi ?a3

[@boostdynamictuning]

It will be identical yes
