How To Properly Time and Install Timing Chains on a TSI Engine

[@AwesomeElite122]

This video was instrumental in helping me get my timing chains replaced 100% correctly on my 2.0 tsi engine. I'm so very grateful that I bought this car. With this engine. Because it introduced me to your channel Charles. Your an awesome mechanic I just did this job on my gen 1 2.0 tsi CCTA engine with 145k miles, engine live data channel 93 intake cam adjustment was at -5.4, after the replacement of all the chains, guides, & and updated timing chain tensioner. channel 93 shows -1.02 degrees of adjustment and the engine runs smoother for sure. I worked on this job for 21 hours non stop. From 9am Thursday to 6am Friday. If it cost me 1k in labor then my time spent working on this was ~20 dollars an hour. So if you make less than that consider DIY it's worth it. This was a life changing experience guys. While I was working on it, the timing slipped on me and I started panic, but then I collected my self. watched this video over and over, read my factory manual and torqued my heart out. I have driven the car around town, and it runs great. Really really great. I am so glad that I didn't destroy my engine. I am so happy 21 hours of my life didn't go to waste. I'm really eager to see how the pistons rings and cylinder walls will hold up as I drag this thing into 200k miles. Getting to work on engines for the first time has been really cool. But I wouldn't have even attempted this if I couldn't find good resources about the job online. Thank you so much Charles

Just wow dude, you make a very daunting task to someone new to this look actually quite simple. You are an excellent teacher I must say.

[@pudermcgavin4462]

I was always scared of chains but I'd do them all day long over a belt system now lol

[@lynxstarautomotive208]

Puder McGavin The worst timing job I ever did was a 3.0TT in a 3000GT. After that one, there was no such thing as a hard engine to time.

[@nicholasbrown6481]

These are easy. Buy the camshaft holding tool

[@alexgonzales18]

If a 3000gt is the hardest timing job you haven't done many bmw or audis. I have a vr4 and it was way easier then this. I also did a timing job on a v10 bmw so maybe I'm just using that as a comparison lmao

[@christophermarshall5765]

@@nicholasbrown6481 I've got the kit for the 1.4 litre VW engine, & it will do others. I agree on buying the right tools, like he used in this video. The kit I got cost me $400!! The kit is worth having. We most likely have seen lots of easy to do jobs ruined by lack of suitable tools.

[@CrouchyM]

This upload came at perfect timing, just had a 2011 A5 come into work with a timing failure and no compression. Just got the head off yesterday ready for rebuild, measured between the cam marks at just over 150MM and the inlet mark was between links. So obviously I’ll be replacing all the chain so this video was extremely helpful and saved me having to read the manual, it’s much easier visually seeing the process. Thanks 👍🏻

[@manicr1]

Thank you for this video. I'm in the process of a total overhaul on my GTI and I was very concerned I wouldn't get this part right. Watching this video, I gained a better understanding and yesterday, I got this knocked out without issue and MUCH quicker than I thought I would. Again, I appreciate your content!

Thanks for this. I am a fourth year mechanic that has been almost left stranded in the current shop I’m in, hardly anyone who has the know how or cares to help me. Thanks for this video as a guideline. I have one that needs the rocker/camshaft cover resealed.

[@ArchuletaAuto]

I watched a few of these how to videos but not until I watched yours did I understand how everything works and gave me the confidence to do timing and balance shaft chain. Thank you. Came out and runs perfectly.

[@cydls688fatech7]

I keep watching this video over and over again, because it’s very clear tutorials- thank you

[@AMtech_Spenny]

My buddy did timing on one of these a few months back, they way he described it sounded very scary/complex lol this video makes it feel quite easy! Won’t be scared to do my MK7 GTI timing once it’s needed! Thanks Charles!

[@mbenz3145]

Yeah try doing that while the engine is on the car and you will feel like hell is a nice place to be...

[@brewster1233]

Charles is absolutely right about taking your time and following the shop manual. Set the beer aside for later. Be rested and alert. Do it in stages if you can. Tearing it down only took me a few hours. Then I stopped and read about it again and again. As it is I did a full timing set on my B8 A4 as "maintenance" last fall before the old tensioner coughed. Guides, bolts, chains, balance shafts, gears, cover, timing bridge. Yes I plan to keep the car. It's not really a hard job but you need to be alert. If you lose timing or forget to torque something down bad things can happen in a hurry. And the fact that the timing marks don't line up after rotating the engine one or two revolutions threw me until I read about it. An Audi engineering paper stated something like 164 revolutions. Crazy. I bet you I checked those marks 10x :). Good luck!

[@tcap7917]

The hardest part of doing this job is gaining access to it. Helpful video by the way.

[@RobertHenry-if9um]

I just did a timing chain on my daughter's vw tiguan. This video helped a lot. I wouldn't do the job without the shop manual ( I downloaded mine). It's a tedious job, but as long as you double and triple check your timing before you button it up, you'll be good.

I followed your video step by step and I got my car working thank you very much for this detailed video.

[@Syphious64]

Your video explains a lot and simplifies this job well, Planned on doing this job for a while and stopped driving my A3 when it started making noise on startup. Glad I did cause today I got the lower timing cover off to be met with the early style chain tensioner.. My car was serviced at the dealer until 2019 under the 10yr warranty program by the previous owner, I was surprised to see the early tensioner style hanging out in there at 140kmiles.

[@sylvainst-laurent3631]

That video is probably the best timing tutorial ever . Well done and thank you .

[@bryanc2174]

Awesome video and great tips Also don’t forget to bolt the cam bridge up before tensioning the main chain. With the chain tight it makes installing the bridge much more difficult.

[@trm64]

I just wrapped up the timing set on a 2011 A5 this evening. I did have a heck of a time getting the cam bridge on because I had put it under tension first. This was my first time doing an Audi timing job and I didn't even think of it. I wish I had read all the comments first!

[@robinwas-miles9686]

So many markers! Clarity and detail 100%. Easy to see why such repairs are seriously expensive.

[@mazpr2025]

Having all the special tools is a must. Cleaning the old gasket sealant is a pain, takes forever, falls everywhere. It looks easy with the engine out, but man there is an engine mount bridge in front of the timing cover/chain, that is a hassle to remove those three bolts with triple squares.

[@gilmello8296]

Back in 1970 it took me only a couple of hours with tools I found in the basement to replace the timing chain and gears in my Buick V6. Much simpler times😂

KZbin really makes me learn more than what university did this first year.

[@HumbleMechanic]

I 100% agree!!!!

[@Multi5611]

HumbleMechanic 👍😂😂

[@sbcncsu]

It isn't a 1:1 ratio so when you open it up it is very likely that the timing marks won't be lined up! You have to look very hard for the gear timing marks when it is in the car and then you have to rotate the gear to get them in time.

[@TheRebuilt1]

Makes the MKIV and B5 belt procedure seem remedial. I am glad i bought a Bentley model for my wifes Q3. Great knowledge transfer sire.

Damn, this makes the mk4 1.8t look like a breeze. I remember sweating making sure I had all the marks lines up.

The MK4 1.8T don't have anything on this, Even changing the timing chain tensioner and gasket is easier than working on this TSI engine. If I had a TSI engine I could definitely do this job.

[@Ozzaphellah]

I have 1 last question. I’m putting my head together now. Does the metal gasket between the crank block and cylinder head take any of that black silicone? Or I just make sure everything is clean lay the gasket and torque the head down to 40Nm?

[@videoheap]

Thanks for making this video. It helped me learn these engines while making a video on a Tiguan that I checked out and repaired a few weeks ago. Great content on this channel.

[@RonnieMechanic]

If I get stuck I use your vidios thanks Mr humble machanic for service.

[@300DBenz]

So much stuff jammed in there... This is why I love the Mercedes OM617: to change the timing chain, all you have to remove is the valve cover, the thermostat housing, and chain tensioner spring and housing. Then cut a link out of the old chain, attach the end of the new one to the old, making sure the chain is constantly meshed with the cam sprocket while you carefully rotate the crankshaft and the new chain gets pulled through, then permanently connect the ends of the new chain. Imagine, replacing a timing chain in less than 20 minutes. (With enough practice)

[@The3lloba]

Freakin' VW dude. The idea of not having to mark shafts and whatnot but just time a chain by simply connecting the old with the new gave me a feeling I don't even know how to describe 😂

[@kfrdubber]

Someone left a giant screwdriver sticking out of the top of the motor.

[@HumbleMechanic]

LOL

[@alektroks]

he is using it to find the TDC from cyl 1 or 4 I guess. It's an old technique that not many know about ^_^

[@BigMac74]

Great Instructions with people like you we dont need the dealership! Gratitude 🤙🏾

[@AdarisTempest]

Great video! I had this pre-emptively done to my 2011 Mk6 GTI a couple years before the big class action (new chain, tensioner, guides, and cover) because having a stab of anxiety every time you crank your car up isn't a good way to live. I'm glad the Mk7's don't seem to have the same tensioner and chain issues. Honestly it doesn't look like that bad of a job, though it's probably a much bigger pain in the ass to to do with the engine in the car, surrounded by accessories.

[@dopiaza2006]

Getting the middle bolt out of the mounting bracket is probably the hardest bit. Just doing it on a Scirocco and there's not enough clearnace between engine and body for the bolt and a tool to remove it. Ended up removing the last bit one flat at a time, took ages. Not looking forward to putting it back in!

[@alexhatcher8812]

They still have timing chain needs. 2014 passat. timing is at 4.7%

[@HumbleMechanic]

Thank you. That ign lock is on my video list

[@RyanZa_myt]

@@HumbleMechanic Hey there! Back again! For a timing chain/tensioner project, what resource would you use to allow the most yet practical access to the engine? (Engine hoist? "Engine support bar"?) Is the 1.8L similar if not the same as the 2.0 timing? Clarification: My main issue is maintaining the engine within the parameters of the engine compartment, since access is tight and parts to the mount are in the way. So I am trying to find a safe, yet workable solution, especially since there is one main part leading to the passenger-side mount that really is in the way. Thank you a bunch for taking your time to answer as I go through tons of timing-related (as well as auto-related) content!

[@Labios_Rotos]

Thank you so much for this video man. Quick question for you, what should we be replacing when we change the tensioners? I've spoken to several shops that have given me quotes from $800 to $2600 and some of them say that they need todo balance shafts, cam bridges, cam cradle, or something like that... plus several chains, guides, lower cover, etc... I don't understand why the price is so ridiculous and they want to change so much when really the only part that is prone to fail is the actual tensioner/chain. I would infinitely appreciate your input!
