The Supercharged Audi 3.0T Engine Teardown: WORST DESIGN???

[@T4RCLINIC]

Great video and editing job. Keep this type of video coming!

[@rosstrittler]

Thanks! Will do!

[@RealSteelFabrications]

We need a tear down of an old carburated engine ;)

[@rosstrittler]

lol, maybe some day

[@Epikteto3]

Good video mate. 27 minute mark, that's the balance shaft, because this is a 90 degree V6.

[@rosstrittler]

Thank you! And thanks for the info, I was still wondering what that was.

[@weezieshang]

good job 🎉

[@Pwnulolumad]

22:35 when all else fails lmao

[@pedroortiz9019]

Interesting probably lack of maintenance how many miles on that motor?

[@rosstrittler]

If I remember, it only had 120k miles.

[@Salmon_Rush_Die]

Half the weight of the engine is bolts.

[@rosstrittler]

Lol, the other half is timing chains and gears

[@greggc.touftree5936]

Breh get a motor mount. Then I will watch your videos.

[@rosstrittler]

Watch the video first, then you can comment 🤔 You must not have listened in the first 60 seconds of the video or watched where I had to cut the torque converter off to fit it on my engine stand.

[@hamid.s.zolfagari]

The designers and engineers of this engine should be fired or ex....😑

[@rosstrittler]

🤣 I just can't imagine why they thought 4 timing chains and 11 gears were a good idea.

[@EscoSpeed]

The issue with these engines is that the upper timing chain tensioner fail causing the timing chain to slap on the head... this introduce metal shaving into the oil where the aluminum will eventually settle into the bearing..

[@rosstrittler]

I figured that bad tensioner had something to do with it.

[@Pwnulolumad]

Sooo , shorter oil change intervals ?

[@EscoSpeed]

@Pwnulolumad when the tensioner go bad, they give a pretty awful rattling noise on startup.. changing the tensioner asap is the best course of action.. changing the oil more frequently may not help as aluminum will continue to make it's may to the oil and collect in the bearings
