- So in this video I’m going to show you the Tricks that I use to save me a little bit of time in doing the timing belt on my Audi 3.0 V6 also I explain to you why there’s no need for the engine to have timing marks and show you how the tools work when used properly. I do believe that the information contained in this video will make your job simpler because you’ll understand exactly why I don’t loosen the Cams so that’ll probably save you a good 30 or 45 minutes so the video is definitely Worth the watch through even though I run my mouth quite a bit in the video so if you’re working on an Audi with the V-6 in it dual overhead cam this video should be helpful for you thank you much for viewing God bless and have a great day.

How do I set the cams if the guy before me didn’t time it with the tools it ran but no power so I took it apart
Pull the cam journals and lift the cams up put them near the proper spot.
Awesome vid man not enough of them with good information on the 3.0 v6
Very nice video. I would like one showing how to reassemble the vacuum lines.
Great video your a life and time saver! Thank you
Great video thanks for the tips
this video help me a lot you guys the best
good vid, very helpful!!!
wood like to mention couple of things:
1: do not insert belt tensioner if you don't want to mess with camshaft adjusting bolts. it's one way or the other (you did mention that, but should give more info on why you insert belt tensioner afterwards).
2. TDC (Top Dead Center) for correct timing is on cylinder 3, in order to put crankshaft plug without any issues.
3. should give more info on how to insert crankshaft plug and where it's located. spend like 2 hours on dame thing, lol
4. it is an interference engine, so try to rotate it (without timing belt) as less as possible.
Ones again, thanks for the great vid :)
Well I appreciate the insight and I will pin this comment so hopefully it helps somebody in the future thank you very much
Thank you would have thought tdc was on 1.
Mine timing belt is broken can I rotate on this engine?
No . You can take the valve cover off then remove the cam holders that will allow all the valves to press upwards then you can turn the engine as much as you like but more than likely if your timing belt broke you’ve already got bent valves so what you wanna do is remove the cam hold down journals then do a leak down test on each cylinder this will tell you which cylinder is broken if any. Sometimes you get lucky I hope you do brother
@@sharpcarco thank you bro freaking BA video man! Thanks again!
Bro good looking 💪🏾

Do i need to loosen the sprockets? My locking too went in perfectly on both cams change water pump rollies and im getting the belt back on but im noticing a little
Deflection on top do i need to loosen the sprockets to make the belt go on tighter
Been on this job for about 3 weeks, 2003 A4 B6 3.0 AVK engine, first time I've seen anything about keeping the belt tight to reduce deflection, so that is a great tip. I'm halfway done, had to order parts one at a time. I'm at the camshaft seals, the passenger side exhaust cam looks like it is leaking but not sure if it is leaking leaking, or just from removing the caps and the Niagara of oil ran back to the space when I removed them. How can I tell if the cam seals really need replaced, or if it's more from the valve cover gaskets? There's oil everywhere on this engine. I'm assuming alot came from the crankshaft seal as well. I have all 5 seals on hand ready to replace
I need help getting the cams back in synch. I done the timing belt just like your video but my cams are 30 to 40 degrees out, because the timing belt pulley on the crank came off when I removed the crank pulley and I didn't have the cam locks in place place so the cams jumped time but I thought no big deal because the cam locks only fo on one way , but they are put of such. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
OK in that scenario you need to take off the cam caps put the loosen the bolts
Put the cam holders in the correct position to align the Cams correctly then tighten the bolts back down. There’s extra steps they are not steps that I used in this video because it was unnecessary in my particular situation because my cam holders went on the cams correctly.
why didnt you reset the exhaust cam gears?
When I try to put it on, the belt fits nicely without deflection on the right side cams, but leaves a slack on the left ones and when I try to stretch it on it doesn't fit by a half pitch so teeth sit on teeth. Any suggestions?
I have checked the cam grips and tried to rotate cams manually, but after tightening the cam grip it goes in to this position again
I've also tried putting the old belt and it does the same
Thank you so much do I turn the camshaft bolts to get the tool in ? Or do I need to use the belt and turn clockwise?
Thank you very much for the kind words. I greatly appreciate than welcome to the channel. Happy to have you Technically speaking, if you’re unable to get the tool onto the cams when it’s near the proper position, you’re supposed to remove the cam cover caps and move the cam gear to the proper position. I did not do that procedure in the video because it was unnecessary
I have 2006 audi A8 V8 almost same engine like A6 V8 i have install all new parts timing belt kit ' but now mi timing belt run 1 mm over the camshaft pulley ??? Need help! Thank you
When you have the Cams locked properly takeoff the caps and loosen the cam bolts then tighten up the cam holders and that should get rid of your slack. I didn’t do it in this video because it wasn’t necessary.
But when you have extra slack like that you need to take the caps off and make sure the timing is tight
Where did you get the cam locks?
I really like your video, but I have one question. After rotating the crankshaft and getting the engine to TDC, it was easy to install the cam lock tool on the passenger side, but it is not lining up properly for the installation of the cam lock tool on the driver side. How do I rotate or move the driver side camshaft so that the tool sits and lock in properly? I tried rotating the crankshaft back and forth as you did in your video, but the driver side is not moving at all, at least not enough to set the camshaft lock tool. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Did your timing belt break? If it broke your valves are bent
Takeoff the caps of the cams and you will be able to rotate them where they need to be.
@@sharpcarco No the timing belt is okay. It doesn't look stretched or any teeth missing. I don't know how it got off timing, if that's what the problem is. Do I take the caps off of the cam & loosen the bolts to rotate the shaft? Also do I leave the timing belt intact as well as the cam lock on the passenger side? Sorry for all of the questions, just trying to get this right. Thanks for your help!
I rotated the engine clockwise until both the intake and exhaust cam lobes on cylinder 3 on the passenger side cylinder head were pointed upward and uniformed. The cam locking tool fitted perfectly onto the camshaft. I was unable to get the cam locking tool to line up with the slots on the driver side camshaft. Is it safe to turn the crankshaft until the tool can fit? When I tried turning the crankshaft, the mark no longer lines up on the crank and the shaft refuses to turn because the cam locking tool on #3 is preventing it from going but so far. Any suggestions? Thanks. Yes, the timing belt has not been removed.
Was it out of Time? That’s what it sounds like to me
@@sharpcarco I think you are correct because it was running, but sounding crazy, not running smoothly at all. Anything I can do to correct this problem? I don't know what happened, since the timing belt is still on and doesn't look stretched or with any wear. Appreciate your help.
I would take a look at the belt when you remove it...... i’m assuming there’s missing teeth.
You’ll be very lucky if it did not bend a valve. So make sure you try to start it up before you put it all back together and see how it runs. Block off the coolant and transmission lines power steering lines etc. I wouldn’t even put the alternator belt on. Or the front end
Will the engine run with a bent valve? The engine runs, but rough.
Hey The Clay Way,
I live near Houston, TX. I am changing head gasket on 02 Audi A4 quattro 3.0- After putting the camshaft locking tool, I removed the cylinder heads. I found bunch of coolant on the pistons as well. What i found was all the Valves are not inside on the right cylinder head with the locking tool in place. Some valves are seating inside and some were out littlebit, boss. So is that normal or all the valves had to be seated while Camshaft locking tool in place? Please help me, Thank you.
So as the cams spin around they open some valves that have some closed you need to look on the cam and look at the lobe if the high spot of the lobe is pushing the valve down then yes the valve should be open if it’s not then you have a bent valve.
But if it was running fine before you took it apart and you’re just doing head gaskets you shouldn’t have to worry about that only if the timing belt came off while the engine was running would you really have to worry about bent valves but I would recommend taking it to the machine shop and having them look at it.
Just to be on the safe side
@@sharpcarco Thank you so much. yes its running fine before.. only issue it had is coolant kicking out after 5min run. fixed one spot, kicks out from other, tighten that and then kicks out from another spot. Thought its a blown head gasket boss.
It’s very possible if it’s building up pressure..... but if it’s building up enough pressure to do that I would highly recommend having the heads straight edged at the very least to make sure they’re not Warped
@@sharpcarco You mean, get the cylinder heads resurfaced, boss?
I did a head gasket on a 3.0. I have the crank locked and the came locks on. How do I determine where the cam gears should be?
Everything is ready to go I just want to ensure that they are aligned properly. I can’t find anything anywhere.
When you put the holders on the cams and you said the engine at top dead center they will be in the right location I do recommend in your situation taking off the cam cover caps and loosening the bolts then installing the holder tool then tightening the bolts back down for the cams
I have to locks on but the cam gears are free floating. Do they have a specific position to be in?
You would do very very well to be able to bend a valve in an untimed engine by turning it by hand!.
Thank you very much for your effort.answered all my questions .
Whats the purpose of wearing a mask while talking into a phone?🤔
Oh it’s not because of Covid 😂😂😂😂 it’s because the dog ate my false teeth and RUclips doesn’t pay me millions of dollars like they do other people LOL, I suppose technically it was because of Covid I couldn’t go to the dentist during Covid and now I don’t have the money to get new teeth made because of Covid so yeah I guess it does have a little bit to do with Covid 😂😂
What up Clay, been a while. Not gonna lie, I forgot about ya a little bit buddy. How's the charity goin?
Well, it’s harder to do charity then I thought so I just started doing a thing where I just give stuff away when I do lives…. That seems to be pretty fun and makes me feel good because these companies are sending me a bunch of stuff nowadays and most of its stuff that I already have or probably have something much better.
@@sharpcarco Yeah there are a LOT of rules and hoops to jump through. I ended up opting to do free/low-cost labor rather than give cars away because of that. Running into trouble keeping up on bills though because half my clients are lower income now. On top of that, finding decent flips here is getting difficult, so having that to float me is shaky at best. I actually have been doing office/managerial duties for a local diesel tech to fill in the low spots. I'll send ya that email when I get back home and we can talk more. Glad to see you're still kickin. 😎👍 ttys bud
Well, I just kept plugging away pretty much and this year I invented some brackets which changed my financial situation dramatically so I’m very very blessed
@@sharpcarco Awesome dude! Happy for ya, let's keep this ball rollin
А фазы кто взводить будет?
Super easy to do on Audis. Idk 🤷🏻♂️ why they charge so much. It’s 100 times easier to work on an Audi than any American car.
When your in that deep you should show how to change the crank (1) seal and the cams (4) seals.
Nonetheless your competent.
Why would timing belt need to be changed I was told they are good for life of car
Lol I don’t know what the hell kind of stuff they’ve been smoking but they’re full of crap...... just look in the owners manual......
I wouldn’t hold my breath wishing that your timing belt will never break because when it does it will certainly ruin the engine completely......
At this moment and as far as I know there is no such thing as a lifetime belt.. That never needs to be replaced
The Clay Way appreciate the feedback. I have been debating this question for sometime
I wish I wouldn’t of cut this time in belt off..... before I made the video you would’ve been blown away with what it look like I don’t think this timing belt would’ve lasted even a week... I don’t know if I said it in the video but the rule of thumb is no more than for cracks per inch.... but to be honest with you if I ever see a crack in a belt I replace them immediately because that belt could break at any moment. .... Welcome to the channel and I appreciate the kind words have a great day
The Clay Way thank you 🙏🏼
Well I guess you were not really lied to because once that belt breaks it the end of the car lol hence the life time term
That looks like the dumbest design ever
