Great info in this video. I have a '13 Tiguan with 305,000 km on it. Had it since 2014 and it had 30,000km on it when I bought it. Two turbos under warranty as well as four doors and the hatch replaced under the 10 year rust warranty. That's it, other than regular maintenance (brakes mostly). I just replaced the rear springs today. I am currently looking for a VW to use while I take the Tig off road to tackle several items you mentioned in this video, most importantly, the timing chain which is original in my case, and the water pump, and possibly shocks and struts. Still on the OE exhaust, and Im definitely in the rust belt! I probably won't replace the alternator yet though. I'm a big VW fan. Love 'em!

Hey Nap! I have a 2009 Audi A4 that has been sitting and not been started since April 2023. Apart from the battery, what should I expect to discover (potential oil leaks from dried seals?) I had a motor overhaul in April 2022 most parts including the cylinder head were replaced so the seals only have a couple thousand miles on them. Therefore what should I inspect and do before I attempt to crank it up? Also how can I go about priming the motor, bearings and what not? I left it with a full tank of gas, added some Stabil Fuel Stabilizer in April 2023.😊

Girlfriend had an '08 Golf Variant with the ,EA113 TSI and 6 spd DSG and ran it from 70 - 180,00 km over six years. She serviced it regularly and was imo lucky- spent plenty just on the sched maintenance and only the odd repair here and there. She was in love with it (and I enjoyed driving it too) but I managed to convince her to move it on while it was still good and got her into a 2.5 Mazda6 Wagon Touring with all the fruit. Not as much fun to drive but still refined and way less costly to own and will be way easier to sell when the time comes. My son on the other hand had a very nice 130i pocket rocket which cost him a fortune in repairs before he came to his senses and bought an RC-F. That thing purred like a kitten and cost him nothing to own apart from normal servicing- a beautiful car. Give me good Japanese any day.

I just sent my 2014 Audi Q5 2.0L out to pasture a.k.a. auction. It started consuming oil like crazy around 80k miles and bottomed out at needing a quart every 600 miles by 100k. The timing chain needed to be replaced at 120k miles. About a month after the dealer replaced it the check engine light would intermittently go on and off. First the dealer thought it was the cam sensor, then the control valve (replaced both) then they said the camshaft itself needed to be replaced. At that point I said no to another $3600 after already spending about $2800 on the previous repairs only weeks earlier. 6 weeks later and the engine failed - needed a new cylinder head and camshaft - that was the end at 128k miles. Piston rings, timing chain and camshaft needed all by only 120k miles. I've loved Audis for a long time and owned 4 (A4, A6 and TT) but this might be it for me. I'll still watch your videos though since they are quite fascinating and informative. Well done!

I also just did the 60k mile maintenance interval as well (oil, all filters, plugs/coil packs and I'll eventually do the fuel filter). I was wondering if I should preemptively replace the pcv diaphragm with an aftermarket one and do an aluminum housing water pump. Thanks!

That's not exactly accurate about the tensioners. I bought a 2013 Eos 2.0 TSI in 2020. When it started getting cold I started noticing a noise when I started it up, a metal against metal noise. Since I had heard about this issue I bought the timing kit and had mine changed before it was too late. My reasoning is that VW did update the tensioner but maybe was hesitant about throwing out X amount of new tensioners so they used them out. That's just a conspiracy idea BTW. Thank goodness I got an extended warranty when I got my car so they covered the repair which was around $2,000. They recommend the genuine VW chain and tensioner as the chain was also updated to a more substantial design. Good luck with your GTI!

Hey. I just installed a new turbo stock on my ‘13 GLI gen 1. My first time doing a turbo install. Only replaced center cartridge cause I can’t afford the entire turbo. Replaced cause of oil consumption. After I finished the install, it idled on the lift perfectly for 15 minutes. I shut it off for 30 mins, then drove it about a quarter mile, and when I went to accelerate to shift from 2nd gear at 20-30 mph, the car hesitated bad, then shut off. Now it will idle good for a few seconds then run horribly hesitating and or misfiring. Sometimes starts but won’t idle. Any idea what this could be? Everything electrical is plugged in and the charge pipe is still connected.

2013+ is fitted with an updated chain/ tensioner but in a recent video a friend has 60 some thousand miles on an updated chain and it was stretch but I’ve seen 2009+ chains and original bad designed tensioners go to almost 190k same with water pump same with pistons the 2009-2011/12 were the most problematic with chains. Water pumps can also still fail just the same with the revised pump it’s true for all b8 b8.5

I owned a 2010 jetta with the ccta engine from new, just recently sold it at 364,000 miles, in that time I personally replaced the first timing set at 150k and did the second at 270k, aso an intake manifold and valve cleaning at 75k, did the water pump then because i had access, got a low mileage used turbo at 220k, a used dsg transmission at 250k, with another intake manifold (updated version) and valve cleaning again a water pump at the same time. Countless oil changes, and diy dsg services and maby 10 coils carried a spair at all times. Loved that car but i drive 100miles a day for work and the milage was starting to worry me. If you maintain them they tend to go for a long time.

What year 2.0t would you recommend? I've done a few heads from tensioner failures with good maintenance and no warning, but I would like to buy a newer a4 2017-2022 to replace my 04 1.8t?

Also the intake manifold flaps are problematic unless you have upgraded to the latest revision intake manifold.

What would the latest revision be? Stock manifold for the newest year of your own body style? Or aftermarket, IE etc? I’m assuming they would be about the same price wise?

@@swift__ I believe pre 2014 vehicles had an intake manifold issue where the swing arm to open up the flaps would fall out of place causing the flaps not to open or be sluggish opening. The newest revision has a new swing arm device that opens up the flaps and also it has an additional pipe and filter of some sort going to the air solenoid.

do a fuel pressure regulator replacement video im getting ready to do mine I just do not want to have to take off the intake manifold because thats a pain.Probably have to anyway as I am not getting any fuel to the injectors so after I change it out with the intake loose I can crank the engine and see if fuel is getting to the injectors,which means that if that does'nt do it. I'll probably have to buy a new hpfp GODDAMMIT!

Im swapping my 2010 A4 CAEB engine to a 2014 CPMB engine to avoid any more oil consumption issues. Does the timing chain and water pump issues carry over to the newer model engines? Should I swap these out before I drop the engine in? BTW. Just found your channel and I LOVE it. Can’t stop watching. I’d buy a shirt or sweatshirt for sure. Also. Can I request a tool video. Your most used tools. Must haves for a guy like me.

Although the 2009-2011 were the worst years.. you could still have oil consumption all the way up to 2016. I had a 2015 q5 with 180k miles that did 1 quart in 600miles. Yes you should at least take the pump off and inspect the water jackets around the gasket for swelling and at least pull the inspection plug and look at how far the tensioner is extended. I’ll do a video on it soon and if I don’t just remind me in the comments

Oh man, this is the first I’ve seen of the HPFP leaking fuel into the oil. How are we supposed to know if it is leaking? Will a properly functioning HPF pressure sensor trigger the check engine light if it is? That is an expensive part to replace preventatively, less than a replacement engine but still.
