VW TDI and Audi TDI bad camshaft removal and replacement procedure DIY

[@dopiaza2006]

Just a small comment - be very careful that you don't drop the small triple square 12 point bit into the head when you remove it from the bolts, or there's a good chance it'll end up in your oil sump. You can probably guess how I know!

[@sleepr3263]

In 21st century, we use magnets to catch that crap

[@Bakanelli]

I would also say to loosen to injector nuts and back off the injector bolts a few times. Then after the new cam is installed do an injector adjustment.

[@bioweaponsystem154]

Awesome video would have loved to see a before and after of the engine running to see the difference made with the new camshaft.

[@BeefyWand]

Very true and VERY important procedure to miss! Damage to injectors possible! Only takes a few extra minutes to setup the 'injector lash'

[@iqoair]

Great video, thank you! I didn't need the cam pulley removal or holder tool. I just simply removed the camshaft with pulley/hub on it and gave it a light whack and it fell off easily. Runs like a new car, power restored and starts easier. Original cam went 350k ! Thanks again.

[@mica2003ful]

is that miles or km?

[@iqoair]

@@mica2003ful Hi Victor, that is in kms

[@geriatricginger]

@@iqoair my Passat is about to go through this.. 399,845 miles on OE cam lol now I'm getting a P0299. I've replaced everything (vac lines, N75, cleaned EGR, etc.. many people now telling me it could be cam/lifter worn. And they are really worn. Hope this fixes it. Turbo is excellent shape, no visible wear on the vanes, etc.. so I just gave it a thorough cleaning, and hope the cam/lifter fix this issue.

[@Bakanelli]

@@geriatricgingerdid the new camshaft fix it? 😊

[@geriatricginger]

@@Bakanelli it didn’t. I replaced the n75 replacement again, and that’s what ultimately fixed it. The cam and followers were definitely worn out though.

[@josephknotts8618]

I have replaced plenty of heads on these engines because of a broken timing belt. This is an interference engine so the timing on this engine is absolutely critical. They sell a timing tool kit online cheap. I believe I only paid 16$ for it. But it take all the guess work out of it. As these engines do not have any timing marks. The tools in the kit lock the crank and cam TDC and the will not move. I would definitely suggest using that tool if you are going to do anything timing related. It only takes on slight slip of the wrinch to have a bent valve.

[@bioweaponsystem154]

Can you provide a link for the tool you purchased? Would love to get my hands on one.

[@Juppie902]

Just did timing on my 738k km golf 5 BDK engine. Was my first timing job on an engine ever. There ARE marks for timing (crankshaft tdc position marker, camshaft has the overlaying sprocket "crown" with hole, 4A mark on rear timing guard which aligns with camshaft position bracket) and the tools you buy for cheap DO LEAVE ROOM FOR GUESSING. This is all because there are many engines and tool revisions and various guides online. I was timed correctly 4 times and yet 4 times I had doubts I timed it wrong because of the various internet guides, took belt off and restarted the process. Wasted 1 3/4 days. On the final assy car cranked no start and engine vibrated like mad. I had to retard the timing via adjustment of camshaft by releasing 3x13mm on the cam sprocket and using VCDS (a.k.a TORSION VALUE) and finally set -0.5°KW on a hot engine, but this was very poorly explained anywhere, had to do the math myself. I was so scared I messed up the timing job and now a valve will be chewed together with the head.

[@Bakanelli]

Well but as I understand u cant lock the cam anyway cos you remove the teeth to install the cam puller on the pulley…

[@mado5957]

you can prime the engine with oil by removing the connector from the injectors and cranking the engine untill oil warning from dashpod goes off, the procedure from the workshop manual primming with fuel needs VCDS, there you have an option to activate fuel pump

[@kellsarah]

The ALH motors didn't have problems with premature camshaft wear, only the PD TDIs from 2004-2006 have this issue.

[@destinationeuphoriaselfdev2089]

Mate you are a legend. Proper detailed videos love your work dude thanks for the great content

[@MrRdmilne]

Great Video in some aspects....my advice to everyone doing a cam replacement is to remove the fifth cam bearing cover before rotating the engine, place the notch in the cam vertically, put the the locks on the crank, pulley and cam, remove the cam, replace, put the belt back on and have a wonderful day. The chalk mark on the timing belt is senseless.

[@wgfvideos3768]

Very helpful and nice to know what special tools I will need. Timing belt broke on me last week so I’m removing head to inspect damage and this helps me get more access to timing belt cover to remove the head.

[@cygnus1965]

Well how Much damage did your head suffer? I got mine sort before that happened but my cam was shot and so were the theee lifters with holes through the tops. So now I am reassembling it and need to know where To line it all up.

[@ek8710]

I'm also curious about how much damage there was lol

[@ddaniel987]

The timing belt tensioner on my A4 2.0TDI broke last year, throwing the belt. All 16 lifters were fcked, bent every valve and cracked the head. This happened on a very steep incline at 3000rpm with the pedal to the floor. $2000 repair

[@alienpredator007]

I really like the way you explain and show every step in the process!

[@TheBlaert]

I thought the cam had worn badly on my Passat AWX. 440k miles. Noisy when the breather was removed and down on power. Turns out it has the earlier type injectors with the female adjustment screw on the injector rockers. (The ball pin on top of the injector is a lot longer and actually goes into the adjuster screw quite a bit) Anyway it had hammered/damaged the inside of the screw and the ball pin was sticking. Only way I noticed was the rocker arm for #1 injector was really slack. Put in a screw and ball pin from a later injector and job done. Camshaft was fine btw

[@davidratoi4702]

I have the same issues and puff of oil smoke(blue not black) when I change the gears especially from 1 to 2. It happens no matter the engine temperature. Any ideeas?

[@TheBlaert]

@@davidratoi4702 could be worn piston rings or a bit of wear on the turbo. Wouldn't worry too much if it's only a small puff. Oil can pool in the intercooler over time also (this is normal) and it might be pulling some of this in when running.

[@BMACVAGS]

I removed the injectors on my channel, this video was good to watch

[@ginogallegos8079]

Very helpful! Just bought my 1st TDI iys an 05 jetta wagon with 5 speed has 303k miles needs a new timing belt im sure but it makes an account through the intake, sounds like cam wear that i searched for and found same sound in another video. Bunoed in to yours.. hope I can do a good enough job thanks to your video! I subscribed BTW

[@TTRVision]

with the advanced method, turning the camshaft 90° backwards , the crankshaft will be at 180° , so the 2 & 3 pistons will be at TDC. by removing the belt on the initial position (TDC on cyl 1) , is much easy to gently turn the crankshaft backwards (anti-clockwise) by only 90° , to have the pistones lined up mid deck height and to clear any possibile valve interaction. after that, we can turn also the camshaft 90° (anti-clokwise) and remove it without "stress" caused by possible wrench slip, etc. after the 90° offset position instalation to clear the tandem pump pin , the camshaft can be turned clockwise at TDC 1 cyl (belt removed) cause the pistons are aligned and non valve interaction will occur and also need to gently reposition the crankshaft by 90° forward (clockwise) for the TDC 1 cyl. some initial marks on the crankshaft pulley will help. after this the "locks" on the camshaft and crankshaft and the belt install! very good video! thanks for posting!

[@kyles8221]

So you get the cam and crank pinned take the belt off and then you turn the crank 90 CCW and cam CCW take the camshaft out, new one in turn cam 90 clockwise pin and crank 90 clockwise and pin and put the timing belt on?

[@andrewwilson8317]

Since you fitted a new cam shaft would you not set the injectors for the correct lash?

thank you do you have a video on how to properly install the TDI head your video are very good thanks again Evan

[@SP330Y]

Hi, i took the head off my car because the timing belt snapped and belt all the valves. Its a renault petrol (clio) i replaced all bent valves, grinded in and re assembled the camshaft and rockers, this is my question? Should the camshaft feel quite tight to turn over by hand by placing a ratchet & socket on the camshaft sprocket? Even with my rockers fully unscrewed out of adjustment (ie backed off completely) its really tight to turn over and the head is off the car!, should it be tight like this, is this normal? I have yet to adjust the valve clearances yet, but stopped because i panicked over the tightness, i thought it should be quite easy to turn. It actually turns, i feel resistance then it jolts forward when its coming off the top of the lobe, it does this 4 times for every revolution of the camshaft sprocket, its a 16v Please advise if its normal to feel quite a bit of resistance with no belt on and head off vehicle

[@MrRfaass]

SP330Y first, you have to use assembly grease, and tighten the cam shaft bolts carefully and continue rotating the camshaft, so you make sure that the (is assume) new bearings seat correctly. From tight to properly torqued, about 100 inch pound (what I do without problems) the tightness should not increase.

[@Tonil875]

Hi Why this engine has the camshaft bearings damaged, and why this engine 1.9 TDI damage the camshaft?? The cause?? Regards!

[@evanbatts]

hi Robert i don't know procedure number one cylinder at top ,and cam at what position before putting head on ? thanks again

[@MrRfaass]

Actually, put the crankshaft 90 off of tdc, so you can install the head any way you want. After the install you set the cam with its first two lobes (cyl 1 ) up, this means that cyl 1 is tdc on compression stroke, put in the locking pin in the camshaft sprocket. Now turn crank to TDC via the shortest way, i.e 90 degrees back. Put the crank locking tool on and you are set to put the belt on. Thiesest way I found was to put the belt on the crank, lock it there by jamming or a little c clamp, route via waterpump to cam and mark the cam and timing belt so you know where the belt goes. Now loosen the cam sprocket, put the belt on tthe right place on the spocket, route via tensioner and put the camshaft sprocket back on.

[@dalraz]

hy nice video but whats the cause to wear that camshaft? bad oil presure or what

[@MrRfaass]

DICU ALEXANDRU there are different causes possible: non upgraded lifters, wrong oil, too many miles on the oil, soft camshaft... it is a bit critical, because the injector followers take up space which could be used for cam shaft lobes.

Dardi Dako for sure very possible. Make sure timing is correct. Checking the cam for wear is not difficult, most of the time one lobe is more worn than the others, so measure them all with a digital caliper and you will for sure know!
