Timing belt replacement - 2000 Audi A3 (8L) 1.6i AKL

[@jonjackson8811]

Awesome video, I have been struggling for days to find a video that tells me where was my Camshaft position sensor and finally I found it. I cannot believe in all other A3s the sensor is right there, so easy to change and in this model I'll cost me an arm and a leg to replace something so simple and cheap. It's crazy how the make you take the whole belt and everything off just for a sensor. Anyway, thanks for the video, it was really good.

Thanx !

Zip ties round the cam and timimg belt and just loosen the middle bolt, no need to remove timing belt, if you not replacing or if it is new :) ,

[@nicholasmartin297]

Previous owner of my car got it changed once. I’ve had it changed twice. All due to mileage recommendations. I had no idea it was such a complicated task. Respect to all those mechanics out there. (But not the cowboys).

Cowboy mechanics sucks 😡

@@petrisalakka Which measuring block?What value are correctly?

[@petrisalakka]

@@StopTeoriomSpiskowym Sorry, I cant help more 🙏

[@jonjackson8811]

Sorry, one more thing, (most likely stupid question), if I just want to replace the camshaft position sensor could I get away with removing less stuff or is it the same if I just need to do the sensor? Thank you for your help.

[@petrisalakka]

I think you need to do that 😔

[@andrecarvalho1128]

@@petrisalakka it's quite a stupid design to be honest, my car (exact make, model, and engine) has a camshaft position sensor fault for over 3 years now (though it still runs ok-ish, just down on power), and I don't think the car is worth the cost of having this job done in man hours alone.

[@petrisalakka]

@@andrecarvalho1128 Yes, quite a stupid design !

Minulla tuli vikakoodi knock sensorista passatiin..voiko se estää moottorin käynnistymisen

[@petrisalakka]

En o varma mutta uskosin jos on ollut ECUn mukaan tarpeeksi paha tai jatkuva. Ei anna käynnistyä ennenkuin vika korjataan ja kuitataan.

Kerran olisi kannattanut pyöräyttää kampiakseli ympäri kun remmi on kiristetty. Todennäköisesti kiristin vaihtaa vähän asentoa. Tuskin toki vaarallista vaikka sitä ei tehty :)

[@petrisalakka]

Joo, se puuttuu videolta! Pyöritettiin useampikin kerta. Olet oikeassa, varmuus kaikessa!!

[@zic6025]

Need to replace my rocker cover gasket but this engine is build so stupidly! Would be a easy fix in most other engines but not this

[@petrisalakka]

Same kind of mind ! VAG 😆

[@StopTeoriomSpiskowym]
