I’ve done a few of these B8 CAEB motors now and I agree it’s just a pita if you don’t completely remove the front carrier.. but you don’t need to evacuate and recover the R-134a system the condenser can be removed from the radiator support and swung out of the way with disconnecting the pressure switch.. I just carefully set it out to the left side and then remove the carrier .. no problems at all
Really good video. I appreciate it. I have a question. I’m not an Audi mechanic. I work on stuff in the driveway. And I’m doing the timing chain and guide rails and everything you’re doing on a family members vehicle. And I got the motor to top dead center and locked in the cams and took off the chain. And the only thing that I’m seeing is that both of my timing marks on the cams are actually at the bottom. And everybody else’s videos that I’m seeing they are at the top. This thing was really out of timing. And I wasn’t sure if I could roll the exhaust cam and the intake cam right or left because everybody’s always saying only clockwise. But if I follow your video to the T, it seems like I’m gonna be able to spin the cams to line up the chains? But have you seen that before we’re both marks on the cams have been facing down instead of up, with the motor top dead center? Thank you in advance.
I'm not a mechanic nor as good as you are, but I would've swapped out the balance shafts due to the failure rate that I'm sure you know by now...Great video. Love the platform, hate the problems. Keep 'em coming!👍
Hey bud. Hope you receive this message, I’ve reached out to a few people on here and I haven’t heard back. I need a little advice from somebody who has done one of these 2.0. I messaged the guy who made the video but he hasn’t answered me. I have an issue with the cams that I caused. Doing the timing chain. Thanks in advance.
@@tonymacias3523Thank you! It’s a lot to text but I’ll began with a little. I’m by no way a top notch mechanic. Especially on an Audi. 🤦🏽♂️ But my aunts car started having some issues and she’s strapped for cash, so I took the job on for her. Well now I’m wishing I woulda said NO WAY. But any how, I got everything lined up just like this video boss shown me to do. But I had the cam locks in and went to put the chain & sprocket. So when I went to put the chains around the cams, I noticed my hash marks, or timing marks for the cams were pointing down instead of up like most of the other videos. In them videos they’d adjust their cams just a little and boom. They’d line up. Well mine didn’t line up and my motor was TDC. So I decide to turn the cams with the cam locks off. 🤦🏽♂️ Bad idea, I did get them facing more toward the top to match chain notches a little bit more, But I turned the exhaust cam and it was hard. Then kinda did a lil pop and turned some more. I was gonna keep turning these cams, but I’m forcing them to turn and I did not want to keep doing that. I can show pictures where my time marks are. I’ve got everything lined up perfect on the oil pump and the crankshaft sprocket, all those arrows lined right up. I got all that matched up perfect. It’s just when I went and matched the arrow up at the bottom of the crankshaft, when I got the chain to the top two cams, I had one hashmark on intake cam Facing at 7 PM and then I had the exhaust one facing at about 9 PM so they did not match up at all, so I tried to turn them to match them and like I said, that exhaust was taking a little too much pressure for me to turn. I don’t wanna damage the motor further. If I haven’t already. Thank you in advance. I don’t know if we’re supposed to give each other’s phone numbers on RUclips? but if there’s a way you could speak on the phone, I can give you my phone number? But I’m about to go out there in this heat and mess with it again cause she’s without a car, I really need to get it going for her. My name is BRANDON by the way. Thank you very much for any help. 🙏🏼
Done this a couple time on these CAEB's, and the timing setup and skipping of he chain is frustrating as when you get everything line up, your crank timing sometimes are off a 1/2 tooth.
Are there any basic settings/adaptation values that need to be reset via VCDS, OBDeleven, etc? I was at -8.71 for the Camshaft adaptation intake bank 1 phase position, with a fully extended tensioner, when I had my chain replaced. Now I have one device showing a healthy -.92 for phase position, but another giving an odd value of 29.0°F. Not sure what to make of that.
Technically no. But you can use VCDS/OBD11 to reset chain elongation adaption if applicable. Not all cars support it. Audi would have supported it earlier than VW.
My mechanic says I need to replace my timing chain on 2013 A4. I don't notice any signs of an issue no light or anything but he said it's showing it at a -7 on the obll scanner . Should I do it ?
Got a 09 Audi a4 with a p0016. Did the chain and checked timing 5 different times and pulled the covers off multiple times and timing is always on point. My split is at 126 and my center to intake is at 62.2 at tdc. I have exactly 9 links between both cam marks. Replaced the cam adjustment magnet and solenoid and camshaft and still the same damn code p0016. Need help!!!
I am replacing the timing chains on an audi Q5 2011, do I really need to replace the cambrigde and upper timing cover? I will replace the gasket for the upper timing cover
We are talking about chain deflection. So technically the cam timing deflection will never be 0. So on the scan tool you will see the measurement as low -5 or as high as +5. That’s the maximum values allowed to be safe. Normal running deflection is between -1.7/+2.4. That’s the range I see. And remember that number should stay static while running. If it’s jumping around you have either something wrong or the wrong IDE value picked. Any other questions, feel free find us on Facebook, Instagram and our website @gowithaci. Thank you for watching.
@gowithaci8113 thanks for the response. I ask because I have a 2014 2.0 Q5 and just had some timing and motor work done 2 weeks ago. I have a Bluetooth scan tool and my timing doesn't have steady values. I've seen it jump up to 12° while idling, but thought that was normal since it just came back from the shop. Time to take it back!
I’m in the process of figuring out my timing now 2012 A4 2.0, car was running rough and had a pretty loud tapping with P0016 fault.. after removing both timing covers. Timing has been done very recent, I bought the car with the issue, I checked timing and seems everything is ok.. only thing is I measure 70mm instead of 61-64mm and 125mm across, do you think it’s out of time? I’m about to remove the cam tray for further damage that previous owner maybe didn’t want to address
I do NOT understand why you just didn’t put it in Service Position? Pull bumper cover, headlights & trays. A few plugs, bolts, etc and the whole front clip swings down giving TONS of access to front of motor. No messing w/ boost hoses or coolant hoses. Easy as hell
Can anybody that knows about these 2.0’s get with me please? I reached out to the owner of the video and he hasn’t answered me and the car is in pieces in driveway. Thank you in advance…

This is probably one of the best 2.0tfsi timing vids cause it's all recorded live and very little is cut and edited. Good stuff....book marked!
Yeah bro I’ve watched Sabóia 100 of these you are the first person to touch the ac thanks for trying to make this harder than it needs to be
Great video! And my props to you for owning a mistake. Mark of a good mechanic!

Great video. You took the time to explain the areas that were important and skimmed over the areas that were treated with common sense.
Why would you drain the A/C?
There’s a reason that the condenser if fed by high pressure rubber hose
You can just swing it to the side and do the work
I'm not a mechanic nor as good as you are, but I would've swapped out the balance shafts due to the failure rate that I'm sure you know by now...Great video. Love the platform, hate the problems. Keep 'em coming!👍
Great video. I'm in a pickle and will be referring to it as I navigate my way thru timing set and possibly valves or head replacement.
Thank for the video . Done many of these in my shop. I did learn new steps to make things easier. He
Great job well done.

Great video on how to mess up timing on the first try and go back and do it again 😂
Done this a couple time on these CAEB's, and the timing setup and skipping of he chain is frustrating as when you get everything line up, your crank timing sometimes are off a 1/2 tooth.
Great presentation! Now why couldn't you have done that when you were leader of the CPC?

Use the app, just answers! It’s incredible and master mechanics will give you documents and procedures that the public don’t have access too!
What tool is that for the crankshaft ?
Nice video I will support u bro ❤
But if you can Shoot a video from close up so that viewers can see clearly.
Good job 👏
Great job, seems overwhelming, but it's probably not..
Younger days I did many vr6 12v timming chains, but this b8 2.0t .. yikes
I am replacing the timing chains on an audi Q5 2011, do I really need to replace the cambrigde and upper timing cover? I will replace the gasket for the upper timing cover
great video, thanks for all the detail and guidance!
Nice video. Where can I find a good service manual for this job. I have a CYMC Gen 3 engine
excellent explanation and step by step, thank you. Some great tips in there.
I know nothing about timing. When you say it should be +5/-5, is that from 0??

He did have it in service position
@@SauceBauce_ this is not service position. Service position keeps all your lines and crash bar still on
@@RobertTmI'm pretty sure that service position is when the whole front end gets taken off and put to the side. He didnt partially take it off.
Can anybody that knows about these 2.0’s get with me please? I reached out to the owner of the video and he hasn’t answered me and the car is in pieces in driveway. Thank you in advance…
