This was on a 2.0 tfsi. Engine cut out on track and this video was part of the process in finding out why. The tfsi has a timing belt from crank to exhaust cam. It also has a cam chain from exhaust cam to inlet cam. The chain had snapped. I think the plastic guide on the chain tensioner snapped, leading to the chain snapping somehow. As the tfsi is an interference engine youd have put money on valve/ piston damage. There may have been some damage, but a new chain and tensioner and the car ran fine and had full compression. I did miss a tooth the first time putting the new chain on, which was apparent with VCDS timing values. With the chain aligned it ran fine, and is still running fine a couple of years later.

Is the engine an interference engine? If it comes out of time then valves could bend

After doing more research, I found most engines unless specified by its manufacturer turn in the following manner . From drivers seat view which would be flywheel side the engine turns CCW from the front of the engine it is Clockwise rotation . Same directions but different perspective . Same as you facing another person , their right hand is on your left . Same thing , orientation and perspective . Hope this helps someone .

There shouldn’t be too much explanation. If you say the engine has to be turned clockwise no one with half a brain would think that you mean it when you’re facing away from the car, ever.

@@EJR20 I must be half brained because I wasn’t sure and needed to know which way would loosen the harmonic balancer pulley . Also I wanted to turn the engine over by hand cranking and was told not to turn the engine backwards . I’m like a lot of others on here that are not professional mechanics and do basic maintenance . That’s who I was addressing . How ever I have rebuilt my own engine before and done lots of other mechanical jobs .

He's probably cranking on the left side of the car and the steering wheels on the right So that's why he's cranking at that direction

Crankshaft and timing belt are not supposed to rotate counter clockwise! Also you loosening the crankshaft bolt... A reversed turning direction can cause damage on a belt under stress that was rotating under operating condition clockwise since installation.

At this point, I didn't know if the engine was seized. If the belt snapped, but the engine turned - i'd still be happy.
