First and only major problem I had was bad injector that dumped fuel one day. I took it to get it inspected and was quoted over 5k to fix it. Paid $250 for there info and brought it home. Fixed it my self for $750. Still going strong and loving it!!!!
was it gunked with fuel and oil black gunky in the pistons area was that the problem I have the same issue tho to fix it would be to fill it up with desiel and hope for it to flush thru and clean out the gunk inside as it can run thru with the diesel no problem.
5k sounds like hot nonsense. I work at a VW dealer in Europe. Few weeks ago we did a Golf R with 2 bad injectors, the guy paid 800 dollars. We even also did 4 spark plugs because he was coming up on 40k...
I started watching this channel when I got my A5 and this man saved my life with these in depth videos and in sight. I just revisited this video because I still got the car😂 and was over the moon to find he had 100k subs he deserves them all and more!
I must say the NapTown Tuner is hands down my favorite person since I bought my 2.0 A6. Thank you greatly for your knowledge and willingness to share it to us all
Great info in this video. I have a '13 Tiguan with 305,000 km on it. Had it since 2014 and it had 30,000km on it when I bought it. Two turbos under warranty as well as four doors and the hatch replaced under the 10 year rust warranty. That's it, other than regular maintenance (brakes mostly). I just replaced the rear springs today. I am currently looking for a VW to use while I take the Tig off road to tackle several items you mentioned in this video, most importantly, the timing chain which is original in my case, and the water pump, and possibly shocks and struts. Still on the OE exhaust, and Im definitely in the rust belt! I probably won't replace the alternator yet though. I'm a big VW fan. Love 'em!
I bought a 2011 A5 8 speed in January with 150,000 miles. Its sitting at 180,000 now and it's the best damn car I've ever owned. It's had the motor replaced previously by a previous owner with the updated timing chains & tensioner. I replaced spark plugs, water pump & carbon cleaned it when I got it and have had zero issues
Appreciate this video...Just picked up a 1 owner non-running 2007 A3 2.0t fwd (belt driven) with 185k. I ordered new coil packs, pcv with hoses, high pressure fuel pump with sensor, and diverter valve (it's nice to have audi technician friends who let you use their discount). Once I get it registered i'm planning on doing the timing belt kit. Hopefully this covers the main culprits for any future issues
I bought a 2013 A5 2.0 quat with 120k miles. It had a lot of maintenance done (water pump, spark plugs, pcv, reg oil changes etc..) and the engine is so smooth and refined. Very responsive and sounds very quiet. I had a 2019 GLI S DSG and that 2.0 sounded a lot more raspy and rattled. Just hoping I get at 50k miles more out of it 🤷🏽
i have a 2013 a4 with 203k miles on it runs like a dream had it since day one original tensioner and chain but the tensioner is the updated one which obviously makes a huge difference and i run thick oil at least 10w40 and for a while 15w50 my cam phase value is 5.0 still ways away from a chain breaking i’m glad i bought it right after they changed the tensioner
I just sent my 2014 Audi Q5 2.0L out to pasture a.k.a. auction. It started consuming oil like crazy around 80k miles and bottomed out at needing a quart every 600 miles by 100k. The timing chain needed to be replaced at 120k miles. About a month after the dealer replaced it the check engine light would intermittently go on and off. First the dealer thought it was the cam sensor, then the control valve (replaced both) then they said the camshaft itself needed to be replaced. At that point I said no to another $3600 after already spending about $2800 on the previous repairs only weeks earlier. 6 weeks later and the engine failed - needed a new cylinder head and camshaft - that was the end at 128k miles. Piston rings, timing chain and camshaft needed all by only 120k miles. I've loved Audis for a long time and owned 4 (A4, A6 and TT) but this might be it for me. I'll still watch your videos though since they are quite fascinating and informative. Well done!
I just bought 2 weeks ago a 2010 A4 Quattro and is consuming oil like crazy I think I have to put 1 litre of oil every 350/400km around 220/260 miles which is really really bad and I don’t know what to do with the car since I just bought it from a garage, but I don’t want a car that is asking for oil very very often and apparently is going to have too many problems in the future, I’m trying to find a way to return the car, also because I bought the car apparently with the issue and that person didn’t say anything about this and I don’t think at this point the car is worth what I paid with this oil consumption problem
Mine is 2009 had it from new had the oil issue 84000k, they apparently used cheaper materials for the oil rings, Audi rebuilt the engine for free after I complained to Head Office Germany, that was 2015. Recently the alternator bearing failed and a rear suspension spring broke luckily I was in a car park when it happened, that’s three springs now. I have had three wheel bears failures, oil level sensor failure, ventilation fan failure, ignition coil failures, latest is central locking, three doors lock but don’t unlock.
@@B8_ghostthopefully you were able to get rid of it cuz you’re going to have nothing but problems, car seems to have been neglected. Better off buying a Lexus is350 or something of that sort
Yo my ace ! I'm glad to hear your moving onto other platforms!! No need to pigeon hole yourself to one platform! Get into those LT4 platforms! I wanna see this channel keep growing! .....but don't worry, if you stick to audi, I'll keep watching anyway
Bruh...I fuckin appreciate you not being all sugar coated n shit.. I'm an old diesel technician and I just got an A3...gasser 2.0t not my wheelhouse but you gotta sub homie
You know, I really like this. Im gonna start doing this, just to give the creator the benefit of the doubt, taking my forgetting to do so after my “judgment” when negativity should be what is gone out of the way for only
Gotta love this guy! Quality content with a bit of humor ! He certainly knows his stuff and I must say since buying a 2.0 TFSI i wish I would’ve saw this video earlier, but what the heck I’m pretty good with my hands and I can fix just about anything on my car, and so I’m glad i subscribed! Now I know where to start with some common areas of potential failures with these cars. 🎉
I just got a 2008 2.0 turbocharger wagon . What should I watch out for if you could help me out with some tips plsss🙏🙏I would appreciate you so much 🙌🙏🙏🙏
My 2014 A6 2.0 L Turbocharged just came out of the dealer's shop that it was running little rough misfiring. Just replaced new spark plugs again that's a year old and 4 ignition coils. It's still not running right after couple days. Gotta be something else? They didn't do compression tests. I have a feeling one of the pistons is failing. I'd once took out spark plugs and notices one of the plugs that has little heavy guts on it. Love this guy here he's pretty knows the ins and outs.
In Europe we only buy the diesel version of VAG cars, not just for fuel economy but for reliability especially. TDI engines are way more reliable, way better built, and the gap of problems between them feels like they are two types of engines from different manufacturers. Try buying the TDI in the US if you have the possibility, you will love it.
Great video, I like your outfit today. keep making videos for repairs and share the great knowledge you have , you are a amazing mechanic for sure on Audi and VW engines and just crazy enough for me to watch. I owe a 1.8T and a 2.0 in a CC and a 2.0 R spec engine in a VW Arteon
What would the latest revision be? Stock manifold for the newest year of your own body style? Or aftermarket, IE etc? I’m assuming they would be about the same price wise?
@@swift__ I believe pre 2014 vehicles had an intake manifold issue where the swing arm to open up the flaps would fall out of place causing the flaps not to open or be sluggish opening. The newest revision has a new swing arm device that opens up the flaps and also it has an additional pipe and filter of some sort going to the air solenoid.
My 2014 CC has me limping home 2 weeks ago. Pulled the code, cylinder 1 was disabled and I had multiple misfires on cylinder 1. Turned out to be the plugs & coils. Thing is, I had taken out to the stealership for warranty/recall work. Injectors, Intake manifold & water pump were replaced. Plugs & coils were also supposed to be replaced. They were not. Glad I've been dealing with these cars for 20+ years and know how to fix most things myself. Also, aftermarket aluminum water pumps for 2.0Ts are a godsend.
I just purchased a 2016 A6 with the 252 HP 2.0. Engine runs great and is strong with only 62,000 miles. I did see the water pump and when it begins to leak I will replace with an aftermarket all aluminum housing. That will take care of that issue.
@@drakephifer Car runs great! My wife drives it. Last one was a 2005 Audi A6 3.2. I had 280,000 miles on it and donated, (bought the 4 cyl for my wife). I drive a 2016Audi A6 TDI. Diesel runs great and have 146,000 miles. Also had an 02 Audi A4 1.8T. Great car and had 275,000 miles and my brother bought for his kids to drive. They eventually sold it from there.
@@johnjerrehian4642 just had a6 3.2 with 270k miles. Mother just replaced it with a6 2.0t only 47k miles. Do you have any heads UP I can give her? Thanks
@@ap3stax What year is the A6 3.2? Here are a few things I did to keep it running well. There are a few issues as the car gets older and with more miles, some have to do with the plastic vacuum lines getting brittle and breaking, (hint, the main one runs across the front of the engine). Just replace them with rubber vacuum lines. Also, do not go 10,000 miles on a synthetic oil change. The timing chains tensioners wear faster and that is an expensive job. 7,000 miles OK. Run premium fuel, (no less than 91 octane). Lastly, do the maintenance and don't use cheap aftermarket parts.
@@johnjerrehian4642 that A6 was 2008. Certainly did us well, with 270,000+ miles. Now we have 2018 A6 but 4cyl Quattro. This has 48k miles fingers crossed we get at least 100k more w/o major issues.
New follower here👋🏿, the coolant leak in my 2015 Q5 brought me here😢 grateful to find you! Don't even get me going about the oil consumption on these vehicles, never again!
There is a replacement for the Water pump, its cast aluminum if you need to change it, go that way a good mechanic will put that in vs the OEM. Dont forget the PCV valve...easy replacement change when needed.
Thank you , u are the only one on RUclips who talked about fuel pressure sensor from fuel rail and helped me sort out my tfsi, when I seen ur video taking out that sensor so easy u motivated me and after 30 min of hard try I took it out without broke plastic clip
I only changed timechain on mine..the important thing whit tfsi is oil and oil changes...then its bulletproof. Change to valvoline vr1 oil that is more heat resistant and has more zink
Mine is 2009 had it from new had the oil issue 84000k, they apparently used cheaper materials for the oil rings, Audi rebuilt the engine for free after I complained to Head Office Germany, that was 2015.

Issues I've had on my A5 so far: 2 bad spark plugs (just replaced all four and upgraded to R8 coils) Right rear Wheel bearing lower oil pressure switch Right rear speed sensor (probably damaged while replacing wheel bearing) The car has be surprisingly easy to work on from home (minus the wheel bearing)
Hi i have a 2016 quattro 100,000 plus on the clock trouble free solid as a rock change oil every 6000 or once a year which comes first take care of your car it will take care of you .
Thank you for sharing your indepth knowledge. God bless you my friend. I have many issues on my Audi A3, which I am slowly working on in my spare time. Oil leaks, sys to lean, multiple mis fires, carbon build up on sparks, the list keeps going and I keep learning more about these engines.
I had the notorious Cam Bridge failure happen to my motor. i replaced the intake camshaft, on my CAEB and installed a new timing setup and cam bridge, but i purchased a chinese made camshaft that had wrong timing indications on the VVT actuator plate. I have the perpetual check engine issue because i still get the camshaft disagree message even though i offset the cam correctly, and the engine runs mostly well. although i do not get a linear power band, its fine control over the camshaft isnt as good as it was, but ive still put thousands of miles on it..
I have a couple of questions if they get answered. Great ! I have a 2015 Audi S3 with the 2.0 Turbo four-cylinder engine. One of the issues I've encountered is a slow coolant leak. About every six months there coolant reservoir dips slightly below the minimum fill line. I've taken it to multiple places that specialize in European cars. They have done a pressure test on the coolant system and found no leaks. It's about every six months that the coolant dips below the minimum fill line. According to the vehicle history report. They have replaced the water pump and thermostat already. There are no visible leaks and no signs of coolant anywhere that are visible.
Audi is honestly not that bad for the value. I know they cost double to maintain but you also get double the enjoyment so it boils down to preference. As long as the car is not catastrophically failing, I am happy to spend a little more on maintenance. Keyword a little 🤣
Dude you need to move to new York, we can use such a great mecanic like you ,your videos are very helpful, and i have some serious issues with my a4 b8 , and i need your help
2009 B8 A4 Avant non-sline with 110K miles. Stage I and stage II APR + downpipes. Doing a proactive chain swap in a few months for $3K based on a friend’s expert suggestion but damn she’s been good to me and she’s worth it. 4 rings to rule them all…
Funny how I bought a 2010 A3 Quattro and fixed everything you talking about in this video. For the mechanically inclined they can be fun daily drivers.
Girlfriend had an '08 Golf Variant with the ,EA113 TSI and 6 spd DSG and ran it from 70 - 180,00 km over six years. She serviced it regularly and was imo lucky- spent plenty just on the sched maintenance and only the odd repair here and there. She was in love with it (and I enjoyed driving it too) but I managed to convince her to move it on while it was still good and got her into a 2.5 Mazda6 Wagon Touring with all the fruit. Not as much fun to drive but still refined and way less costly to own and will be way easier to sell when the time comes. My son on the other hand had a very nice 130i pocket rocket which cost him a fortune in repairs before he came to his senses and bought an RC-F. That thing purred like a kitten and cost him nothing to own apart from normal servicing- a beautiful car. Give me good Japanese any day.
Yes sir my granddaughter bought a 2016 audi q5 2.0 4 and it has tried code after code ever time we fix one thing drive 50 miles and it another Total money pit.
It's like every car company forgot everything they learned and everything every other car company learned about how to build cars and are starting from scratch. 🤦
The B9 model has a water pump leak issue.. I had it.. if you avoid the dealer it can be replaced at not too high a price.. The leak was slow... Change oil once a year or every 8000 miles.. Change the transmission fluid long before Audi states...
The cause of the chain popping is when you allow the oil level to be too low causing the tensioner to starve and release tension causing the chain to skip teeth. Make sure the oil level is adequate. Yes these car do consume oil so check it periodically.
Great video! My wife has this exact car 120k miles and I've already changed the pcv valve and water pump thanks to your videos. Now it's drinking oil too so I'll have to figure that out. Fun car to drive and work on though. Great content 👍
I had exact same problem as yours, had engine replaced, now it runs like a kitten. Cost was 5 k here in Toronto. Zero oil burn and drives solid. Audi A5 2010, Marrano red
@@danrook5757$5,000 CAD?? That is crazy. When I had a timing chain tensioner failure the shop recommended same thing you did, new motor. The quoted $8,000 USD for the new motor in Atlanta, and you don’t even want to know what the labor quote was. I ended up replacing the cylinder head and a bunch of other components with it, parts and labor was more than $6,000 USD. All this was in 2021.
No grommet problems. I had to replace water pump at 160K. I replaced timing chain at 180K. I've had 2 additional alternators installed in my car. 1st was bad alternator. 2nd was front main seal leak that blew oil all over it. Autozone cost for Bosch alternator is 1/2 of what dealer charges. My car died out at CVS in Santa Monica and code said it was low fuel pressure. I looked it up and said it was likely the fuel pressure sensor. Recent strand was previous main seal oil leak wrecked my serpentine belt. $100 and back to normal.
I recently purchased a 2013 GTI with 59k miles on it. I was reading that 2013+ had the timing chain tensioner issues fixed, but I still bought an obd11 to monitor the cam position angle. I also just did the 60k mile maintenance interval as well (oil, all filters, plugs/coil packs and I'll eventually do the fuel filter). I was wondering if I should preemptively replace the pcv diaphragm with an aftermarket one and do an aluminum housing water pump. Thanks!
That's not exactly accurate about the tensioners. I bought a 2013 Eos 2.0 TSI in 2020. When it started getting cold I started noticing a noise when I started it up, a metal against metal noise. Since I had heard about this issue I bought the timing kit and had mine changed before it was too late. My reasoning is that VW did update the tensioner but maybe was hesitant about throwing out X amount of new tensioners so they used them out. That's just a conspiracy idea BTW. Thank goodness I got an extended warranty when I got my car so they covered the repair which was around $2,000. They recommend the genuine VW chain and tensioner as the chain was also updated to a more substantial design. Good luck with your GTI!
Just got the 2017 a4 2.0t Quattro with 58k miles at 59k water pump failed then at 60 I had my valve cover gasket leak oil down on my spark plug and into the cylinder $4k to fix then 500 miles after a blew a piston ring 😊
I bought a 2011 Tiguan in 2020....I've replaced the alternator, starter, high pressure fuel pump, and water pump...all of which left me stranded. I wish i saw this vide sooner lol but I still love my car. ...for now
My water pump was leaking and gave me error code. It didn't leave me stranded though. You can drive the car safely to nearest mechanic. It was too expensive to fix though. 1200€ with parts and labour. 130tkm on odo. Other than that, car has been pretty solid.
it costs $300 to replace water.pump in Indonesia. I have just replaced it (@116k km) with steel pump (not the plastic one). I think replacing leak water pump at such mileage is acceptable. Water pump is not built to last forever ...
Hey Nap! I have a 2009 Audi A4 that has been sitting and not been started since April 2023. Apart from the battery, what should I expect to discover (potential oil leaks from dried seals?) I had a motor overhaul in April 2022 most parts including the cylinder head were replaced so the seals only have a couple thousand miles on them. Therefore what should I inspect and do before I attempt to crank it up? Also how can I go about priming the motor, bearings and what not? I left it with a full tank of gas, added some Stabil Fuel Stabilizer in April 2023.😊
I just bought a clean looking and running 2011 Q5. Yup, seems to be consuming oil, but I am still on my first tank of gas, so I don't know how much. Mine has 132,000kms on it. Runs great, no leaks. I bought the extended warranty on it and I am now negotiating with the dealer that sold it to me to have the engine rebuilt. I guess I should get the timing chain done too?
Oh man, this is the first I’ve seen of the HPFP leaking fuel into the oil. How are we supposed to know if it is leaking? Will a properly functioning HPF pressure sensor trigger the check engine light if it is? That is an expensive part to replace preventatively, less than a replacement engine but still.
So same issues you COULD have on any other car with the same mileage? 130k miles on my 2011 2.0 TFSI A6 and 0 engine issues since I bought it in 2018. Its had 2 MOT failures.. last one was rear light LED blown/not working. New unit £200 for all 4 tail lights aftermarket. ( decided to replace them all as they were looking faded anyway. Genuine Audi £290 +VAT for just the outer.. First failure was pinhole in exhaust. £20 for a spot of weld to plug it.
I have a 2009 Audi A4 quatro TFSI with 170k miles and I can attest to having everyone of these problems but the rail sensor and fuel pump reckon they will be next. If you want a project car these things are perfect! LOL
Owned a 08 a6, transmission was 6k then it still died.... 08 lancer gts of 5 years since 2018, 0 problems buttt just got hit... now in a 2023 qauttro s4 rental.. saw a 2017 s4 for 13k....was going to buy.... NOW I am NOT going to buy thanks to you , scotty kilmer, redriven and my own experience...... sure is nice at 20k miles though lol
My tfsi has been stalling out on me I already ordered my hpfp sensor I’m gonna order that hitachi hpfp next hoping my issue gets fixed thanks for the informative vids naptown. 👏🏻
Following "Honorable Mentions" - P0299 (turbo underboost) the dreaded wastegate malfunction rattle. P0341 (camshaft position sensor) ... and like you said, some check lights dont throw codes. I currently have an airbag light. From whatI read is the grey sensor under the passenger seat. Low Oil Pressure warning light, does not throw any codes, but the alarm is extremely annoying. Am doing a full teardown, watching your videos has helped stay on course. ... And one last thing, the torx style bolts, TRIPLE SQUARE BOLTS, I hate dealing with them, so difficultto wrench. Just do like everyone else, metric or standard, but no, lets continue over engineering. All the connectors have this silly pull out system, I end up breaking them half the time on old plugs, plastic gets brittle, just why, while all others push down on the plug and walla. 😫😭
im not here because my engine needs help , i actually love these engines . Before driving Skoda Superb 2.0 TSI DSG , i used to drive Citroen C5 1.8 manual non turbo . Now i have 200bhp and shift fast , with citroen i had 100bhp and slow shifts . Why 2.0 liter , well in my country each year you pay for Registration , that was 300$ for Citroen , and for Skoda its 400$ , but if i go 3 liter engine , then its 1000$ just registration , and 300$ more for other taxes . So you get me , why this engine . No other way to get that power . So i love it , and that is why im here , want to maintain it . Mine was purchased with 170K Km on it , and now it has 230K kilometers that is , so i did 60K , about 40K miles , nothing done to it , just regular maintenance . So i have no reason to not like it, i love it , best car i ever had and all i need realistically not to get killed in an accident or what not . But i do plan to do the Pistons, because it does eat 1L of oil per 1000Km , its a lot , but its a known flaw , what can you do , cant get it perfect . So im here to learn , and if i was in US i would come to you to do the pistons , but im not so . For all you Americans , if you are in to 2 liter Turbos , this is the man , get it from the man on pay for the mistake , you see what kind of engines go around on his channel , thats how it goes . I was lucky , that and i did bring the car to my Mechanic for inspection and not a singel flaw was found on the car , so i got it . Not a bolt missing . And got it for only 8500$ , a bargin , but it is a Skoda . But it has everything , leather , touch screen , heatting and cooling and massage on seats fully electric , front back climate , full equipment as they say , top model . Its better then basic speced Audi and half the price .Same engine
Water pump, fuel pump, oil consumption issues, pistons @rings, timing chain all replaced prior to 55k. Currently 66k miles on my 2012 Avant, so far so good. Your the man, you know your Audi’s! 👍
omg... that was not cheap; my 90s cars,all 3 of them, bmw e36,isuzu trooper,rover,all have over 200000 and run like new, the bmw has a chain,all original, runs quiet as a mouse, sad that modern expensive engines are throw aways like a bic lighter;
I have a B8 A4 with the EA888.2 and i've had most of these issues. Oil burn fix done, had timing tensioner break on startup and bend all my valves, had the alternator die. Havent had water or fuel pump issues *yet* though, but im always on the lookout for weird codes so hopefully ill catch it in time then they do go.
@@thunderthumbz3293 because I inherited the B8 and buying a "reliable" car with similar performance, comfort and looks would cost far too much. Also I have Audi Stockholm syndrome
I spent more than 3000e on new parts . After 10 mechanics finaly found issue. The hpfp even after 2 changes was no good and my friend ordered a original audi hpfp and it was ok ( lean code) oil raises cause petrol going into the oil ( if you have oil sensor engine check light) and the second is if you get the epc no over 4000rpm than its the tensioner on the chain. My chain was a little streched but not over but the twnsioner was bad so yeah if you have that problem than thats the issue.
RUclips junkie here ! I own two Audi’s a4 ,, also own 1991 Acura nsx , 2 Fj60 Toyota Land Cruiser, and 1 fj40. These Toyota’s and Acura are the most reliable cars on the universe. Audi’s are trash. Naptown tuner is the real deal Holyfield of Audi’s. Keep bringing it man!
Good videos and good luck with growing your channel. I would recommend investing in tripod / mic etc. More professional videos will get you more views. Also do not upload personal stuff as that will deter people from watching. Stick with one theme, that is Audi/VW fixing etc
Im swapping my 2010 A4 CAEB engine to a 2014 CPMB engine to avoid any more oil consumption issues. Does the timing chain and water pump issues carry over to the newer model engines? Should I swap these out before I drop the engine in? BTW. Just found your channel and I LOVE it. Can’t stop watching. I’d buy a shirt or sweatshirt for sure. Also. Can I request a tool video. Your most used tools. Must haves for a guy like me.
Although the 2009-2011 were the worst years.. you could still have oil consumption all the way up to 2016. I had a 2015 q5 with 180k miles that did 1 quart in 600miles. Yes you should at least take the pump off and inspect the water jackets around the gasket for swelling and at least pull the inspection plug and look at how far the tensioner is extended. I’ll do a video on it soon and if I don’t just remind me in the comments
Donsll I have a 2012 Audi tt ea888 I replaced the turbo it was almost the same except for one hose entrance. The turbo works ok but now when the engine warms up and at idle the red low oil pressure light comes on ,any suggestions welcome 🙏
I swear there are manufacturers out there that never have timing chain problems. Maybe guides, like on some BMWs, but the chains themselves, no problem.
I have a q5 that has a loud knock in the bottom of the engine, two of the cylinders run at half capacity. Chain is ok, pistons and rods still going strong. Do i have to revove the whole engine to find the knock?
Look I have a 2006 model, 190000km up today! Only small fixes for all 19years,change belt once, have original brake pads on still, change back springs this year. Guys this car is fantastic, dont lessen to bad news of this fantasisk car! 😊

First and only major problem I had was bad injector that dumped fuel one day. I took it to get it inspected and was quoted over 5k to fix it. Paid $250 for there info and brought it home. Fixed it my self for $750. Still going strong and loving it!!!!
I had the same problem with my 2.0t, just got it back from the mechanic lol
was it gunked with fuel and oil black gunky in the pistons area was that the problem I have the same issue tho to fix it would be to fill it up with desiel and hope for it to flush thru and clean out the gunk inside as it can run thru with the diesel no problem.
5k sounds like hot nonsense. I work at a VW dealer in Europe. Few weeks ago we did a Golf R with 2 bad injectors, the guy paid 800 dollars. We even also did 4 spark plugs because he was coming up on 40k...

I just replaced the rear springs today. I am currently looking for a VW to use while I take the Tig off road to tackle several items you mentioned in this video, most importantly, the timing chain which is original in my case, and the water pump, and possibly shocks and struts. Still on the OE exhaust, and Im definitely in the rust belt! I probably won't replace the alternator yet though. I'm a big VW fan. Love 'em!
I bought a 2011 A5 8 speed in January with 150,000 miles. Its sitting at 180,000 now and it's the best damn car I've ever owned. It's had the motor replaced previously by a previous owner with the updated timing chains & tensioner. I replaced spark plugs, water pump & carbon cleaned it when I got it and have had zero issues
how was the water pump job?
How much did it cost to get the carbon cleaned out? It sounds like a fairly expensive job.
@@bryanr93 I just did this to my car. It wasn’t difficult if you know how to get the intake manifold off. It’s just a mess and time consuming.
@@hfrog713 understandable. Guess its probably not too expensive to get a shop to do it then at least.
@@bryanr93 my understanding was $4-500
Appreciate this video...Just picked up a 1 owner non-running 2007 A3 2.0t fwd (belt driven) with 185k. I ordered new coil packs, pcv with hoses, high pressure fuel pump with sensor, and diverter valve (it's nice to have audi technician friends who let you use their discount). Once I get it registered i'm planning on doing the timing belt kit. Hopefully this covers the main culprits for any future issues
Bro I have a 2008 a3 2.0 t wagon and it shots down on me
I bought a 2013 A5 2.0 quat with 120k miles. It had a lot of maintenance done (water pump, spark plugs, pcv, reg oil changes etc..) and the engine is so smooth and refined. Very responsive and sounds very quiet. I had a 2019 GLI S DSG and that 2.0 sounded a lot more raspy and rattled. Just hoping I get at 50k miles more out of it 🤷🏽
You’ll get to 200k easy my friend
Keep me updated … I have a ‘17 Jetta auto Jetta 1.4 and want a A4 or gti
@@jaytee8665 bullshit
What’s the word on that 13 a5
i have a 2013 a4 with 203k miles on it runs like a dream had it since day one original tensioner and chain but the tensioner is the updated one which obviously makes a huge difference and i run thick oil at least 10w40 and for a while 15w50 my cam phase value is 5.0 still ways away from a chain breaking i’m glad i bought it right after they changed the tensioner

I just sent my 2014 Audi Q5 2.0L out to pasture a.k.a. auction. It started consuming oil like crazy around 80k miles and bottomed out at needing a quart every 600 miles by 100k. The timing chain needed to be replaced at 120k miles. About a month after the dealer replaced it the check engine light would intermittently go on and off. First the dealer thought it was the cam sensor, then the control valve (replaced both) then they said the camshaft itself needed to be replaced. At that point I said no to another $3600 after already spending about $2800 on the previous repairs only weeks earlier. 6 weeks later and the engine failed - needed a new cylinder head and camshaft - that was the end at 128k miles. Piston rings, timing chain and camshaft needed all by only 120k miles. I've loved Audis for a long time and owned 4 (A4, A6 and TT) but this might be it for me. I'll still watch your videos though since they are quite fascinating and informative. Well done!
I just bought 2 weeks ago a 2010 A4 Quattro and is consuming oil like crazy I think I have to put 1 litre of oil every 350/400km around 220/260 miles which is really really bad and I don’t know what to do with the car since I just bought it from a garage, but I don’t want a car that is asking for oil very very often and apparently is going to have too many problems in the future, I’m trying to find a way to return the car, also because I bought the car apparently with the issue and that person didn’t say anything about this and I don’t think at this point the car is worth what I paid with this oil consumption problem
Mine is 2009 had it from new had the oil issue 84000k, they apparently used cheaper materials for the oil rings, Audi rebuilt the engine for free after I complained to Head Office Germany, that was 2015. Recently the alternator bearing failed and a rear suspension spring broke luckily I was in a car park when it happened, that’s three springs now. I have had three wheel bears failures, oil level sensor failure, ventilation fan failure, ignition coil failures, latest is central locking, three doors lock but don’t unlock.
@@B8_ghostthopefully you were able to get rid of it cuz you’re going to have nothing but problems, car seems to have been neglected. Better off buying a Lexus is350 or something of that sort

Hey Naptowntuner. Engine simply stopped on the highway after the Oil Pressure light came on. We need a naptowntuner in CT.
So now, it sits in the driveway. I pulled the plugs and filled with Marvel oil. Fingers crossed I can unseize. Otherwise, gotta rip and replace.
My 2014 A6 2.0 L Turbocharged just came out of the dealer's shop that it was running little rough misfiring. Just replaced new spark plugs again that's a year old and 4 ignition coils. It's still not running right after couple days. Gotta be something else? They didn't do compression tests. I have a feeling one of the pistons is failing. I'd once took out spark plugs and notices one of the plugs that has little heavy guts on it. Love this guy here he's pretty knows the ins and outs.

In Europe we only buy the diesel version of VAG cars, not just for fuel economy but for reliability especially. TDI engines are way more reliable, way better built, and the gap of problems between them feels like they are two types of engines from different manufacturers. Try buying the TDI in the US if you have the possibility, you will love it.
on my 2011 Audi Q5 with 125k miles, I changed the fuel sensor, alternator, and water pump and now working on the turbo to replace it.
Thanks Nap-Man we really appreciate what you’re doing here.
Its guys like you that I admire, that make life a little easy to repair are own vihicals. Thanks a bunch
Great video, I like your outfit today. keep making videos for repairs and share the great knowledge you have , you are a amazing mechanic for sure on Audi and VW engines and just crazy enough for me to watch.
I owe a 1.8T and a 2.0 in a CC and a 2.0 R spec engine in a VW Arteon
Also the intake manifold flaps are problematic unless you have upgraded to the latest revision intake manifold.
What would the latest revision be? Stock manifold for the newest year of your own body style? Or aftermarket, IE etc? I’m assuming they would be about the same price wise?
@@swift__ I believe pre 2014 vehicles had an intake manifold issue where the swing arm to open up the flaps would fall out of place causing the flaps not to open or be sluggish opening. The newest revision has a new swing arm device that opens up the flaps and also it has an additional pipe and filter of some sort going to the air solenoid.
@@jackc244 ok, thank you 🤜🏻🤛🏻
You’re doing great with your channel. I remember years ago when you started.
My 2014 CC has me limping home 2 weeks ago. Pulled the code, cylinder 1 was disabled and I had multiple misfires on cylinder 1. Turned out to be the plugs & coils. Thing is, I had taken out to the stealership for warranty/recall work. Injectors, Intake manifold & water pump were replaced. Plugs & coils were also supposed to be replaced. They were not. Glad I've been dealing with these cars for 20+ years and know how to fix most things myself.
Also, aftermarket aluminum water pumps for 2.0Ts are a godsend.
I just purchased a 2016 A6 with the 252 HP 2.0. Engine runs great and is strong with only 62,000 miles. I did see the water pump and when it begins to leak I will replace with an aftermarket all aluminum housing. That will take care of that issue.
How is your car rolling now?
@@drakephifer Car runs great! My wife drives it. Last one was a 2005 Audi A6 3.2. I had 280,000 miles on it and donated, (bought the 4 cyl for my wife). I drive a 2016Audi A6 TDI. Diesel runs great and have 146,000 miles. Also had an 02 Audi A4 1.8T. Great car and had 275,000 miles and my brother bought for his kids to drive. They eventually sold it from there.
@@johnjerrehian4642 just had a6 3.2 with 270k miles. Mother just replaced it with a6 2.0t only 47k miles. Do you have any heads UP I can give her? Thanks
@@ap3stax What year is the A6 3.2? Here are a few things I did to keep it running well. There are a few issues as the car gets older and with more miles, some have to do with the plastic vacuum lines getting brittle and breaking, (hint, the main one runs across the front of the engine). Just replace them with rubber vacuum lines. Also, do not go 10,000 miles on a synthetic oil change. The timing chains tensioners wear faster and that is an expensive job. 7,000 miles OK. Run premium fuel, (no less than 91 octane). Lastly, do the maintenance and don't use cheap aftermarket parts.
@@johnjerrehian4642 that A6 was 2008. Certainly did us well, with 270,000+ miles. Now we have 2018 A6 but 4cyl Quattro. This has 48k miles fingers crossed we get at least 100k more w/o major issues.
New follower here👋🏿, the coolant leak in my 2015 Q5 brought me here😢 grateful to find you! Don't even get me going about the oil consumption on these vehicles, never again!
There is a replacement for the Water pump, its cast aluminum if you need to change it, go that way a good mechanic will put that in vs the OEM. Dont forget the PCV valve...easy replacement change when needed.

Thank you , u are the only one on RUclips who talked about fuel pressure sensor from fuel rail and helped me sort out my tfsi, when I seen ur video taking out that sensor so easy u motivated me and after 30 min of hard try I took it out without broke plastic clip
I only changed timechain on mine..the important thing whit tfsi is oil and oil changes...then its bulletproof. Change to valvoline vr1 oil that is more heat resistant and has more zink

Issues I've had on my A5 so far:
2 bad spark plugs (just replaced all four and upgraded to R8 coils)
Right rear Wheel bearing
lower oil pressure switch
Right rear speed sensor (probably damaged while replacing wheel bearing)
The car has be surprisingly easy to work on from home (minus the wheel bearing)
Good info. Thank you. I might also suggest that the rear top cam chain and tensioner on earlier 2.0tfsi engines can be an issue if neglected...
Hi i have a 2016 quattro 100,000 plus on the clock trouble free solid as a rock change oil every 6000 or once a year which comes first take care of your car it will take care of you .
Thank you for sharing your indepth knowledge. God bless you my friend. I have many issues on my Audi A3, which I am slowly working on in my spare time. Oil leaks, sys to lean, multiple mis fires, carbon build up on sparks, the list keeps going and I keep learning more about these engines.
I've got a B8.5 and have already had the water pump problem. Naptown Tuner's video on how to replace it guided me and I saved a lot of money.
I had the notorious Cam Bridge failure happen to my motor. i replaced the intake camshaft, on my CAEB and installed a new timing setup and cam bridge, but i purchased a chinese made camshaft that had wrong timing indications on the VVT actuator plate. I have the perpetual check engine issue because i still get the camshaft disagree message even though i offset the cam correctly, and the engine runs mostly well. although i do not get a linear power band, its fine control over the camshaft isnt as good as it was, but ive still put thousands of miles on it..
I have a couple of questions if they get answered. Great ! I have a 2015 Audi S3 with the 2.0 Turbo four-cylinder engine. One of the issues I've encountered is a slow coolant leak. About every six months there coolant reservoir dips slightly below the minimum fill line. I've taken it to multiple places that specialize in European cars. They have done a pressure test on the coolant system and found no leaks. It's about every six months that the coolant dips below the minimum fill line. According to the vehicle history report. They have replaced the water pump and thermostat already. There are no visible leaks and no signs of coolant anywhere that are visible.
2015 S3 is MQB platform with the gen3 engine. Most of what he talks about here does not apply, the gen3 is much more reliable.
Long time Toyota only lover and technician now has 2 2010 Audi A5's and is totally reborn again and totally excited to learn and enjoy these cars!!!
Audi is honestly not that bad for the value. I know they cost double to maintain but you also get double the enjoyment so it boils down to preference. As long as the car is not catastrophically failing, I am happy to spend a little more on maintenance. Keyword a little 🤣

Funny how I bought a 2010 A3 Quattro and fixed everything you talking about in this video. For the mechanically inclined they can be fun daily drivers.
Girlfriend had an '08 Golf Variant with the ,EA113 TSI and 6 spd DSG and ran it from 70 - 180,00 km over six years. She serviced it regularly and was imo lucky- spent plenty just on the sched maintenance and only the odd repair here and there. She was in love with it (and I enjoyed driving it too) but I managed to convince her to move it on while it was still good and got her into a 2.5 Mazda6 Wagon Touring with all the fruit. Not as much fun to drive but still refined and way less costly to own and will be way easier to sell when the time comes. My son on the other hand had a very nice 130i pocket rocket which cost him a fortune in repairs before he came to his senses and bought an RC-F. That thing purred like a kitten and cost him nothing to own apart from normal servicing- a beautiful car. Give me good Japanese any day.

The B9 model has a water pump leak issue.. I had it.. if you avoid the dealer it can be replaced at not too high a price.. The leak was slow...
Change oil once a year or every 8000 miles..
Change the transmission fluid long before Audi states...

Those are the problems I have with my 2006 A6 3.2 with over a 150k this is great to know thanks brother.
Could you please please please make a video on the VW FSI 2.0T if at all there’s any differences between FSI and TSI, TFSI?
The cause of the chain popping is when you allow the oil level to be too low causing the tensioner to starve and release tension causing the chain to skip teeth. Make sure the oil level is adequate. Yes these car do consume oil so check it periodically.
Mine broke one of the plastic guide rails then that let it get enough slack to jump time on startup and destroy the head.
Audi 2012 q5 155,000 miles and only changed the oil and brakes. Had oil consumption issue but dummies at oil place screwed up drain plug. Fixed myself
Great video! My wife has this exact car 120k miles and I've already changed the pcv valve and water pump thanks to your videos. Now it's drinking oil too so I'll have to figure that out. Fun car to drive and work on though. Great content 👍

@@danrook5757$5,000 CAD?? That is crazy. When I had a timing chain tensioner failure the shop recommended same thing you did, new motor. The quoted $8,000 USD for the new motor in Atlanta, and you don’t even want to know what the labor quote was. I ended up replacing the cylinder head and a bunch of other components with it, parts and labor was more than $6,000 USD. All this was in 2021.
Before I watch I commented lol
My 2.0T S3 had been ok.
98k miles
Put 35k miles on it since Jan of this year.
You’re awesome Naptown. Love your work
No grommet problems. I had to replace water pump at 160K. I replaced timing chain at 180K. I've had 2 additional alternators installed in my car. 1st was bad alternator. 2nd was front main seal leak that blew oil all over it. Autozone cost for Bosch alternator is 1/2 of what dealer charges. My car died out at CVS in Santa Monica and code said it was low fuel pressure. I looked it up and said it was likely the fuel pressure sensor. Recent strand was previous main seal oil leak wrecked my serpentine belt. $100 and back to normal.
I recently purchased a 2013 GTI with 59k miles on it. I was reading that 2013+ had the timing chain tensioner issues fixed, but I still bought an obd11 to monitor the cam position angle. I also just did the 60k mile maintenance interval as well (oil, all filters, plugs/coil packs and I'll eventually do the fuel filter).
I was wondering if I should preemptively replace the pcv diaphragm with an aftermarket one and do an aluminum housing water pump. Thanks!
That's not exactly accurate about the tensioners. I bought a 2013 Eos 2.0 TSI in 2020. When it started getting cold I started noticing a noise when I started it up, a metal against metal noise. Since I had heard about this issue I bought the timing kit and had mine changed before it was too late. My reasoning is that VW did update the tensioner but maybe was hesitant about throwing out X amount of new tensioners so they used them out. That's just a conspiracy idea BTW. Thank goodness I got an extended warranty when I got my car so they covered the repair which was around $2,000. They recommend the genuine VW chain and tensioner as the chain was also updated to a more substantial design. Good luck with your GTI!
100% correct timing belt snapped blew a valve after 239k miles new engine replacement $14k

I bought a 2011 Tiguan in 2020....I've replaced the alternator, starter, high pressure fuel pump, and water pump...all of which left me stranded. I wish i saw this vide sooner lol but I still love my car. ...for now
How many miles you have on the 2011?
My water pump was leaking and gave me error code. It didn't leave me stranded though. You can drive the car safely to nearest mechanic. It was too expensive to fix though. 1200€ with parts and labour. 130tkm on odo. Other than that, car has been pretty solid.
it costs $300 to replace water.pump in Indonesia. I have just replaced it (@116k km) with steel pump (not the plastic one). I think replacing leak water pump at such mileage is acceptable. Water pump is not built to last forever ...
This guy really makes me want an Audi now
I dont think this is just an Audi thing. Most modern cars, especially when geared towards performance, seem to have some sort of issues like this.
And that is why the 3.0t supercharged is the best engine
Hey Nap! I have a 2009 Audi A4 that has been sitting and not been started since April 2023. Apart from the battery, what should I expect to discover (potential oil leaks from dried seals?) I had a motor overhaul in April 2022 most parts including the cylinder head were replaced so the seals only have a couple thousand miles on them. Therefore what should I inspect and do before I attempt to crank it up? Also how can I go about priming the motor, bearings and what not?
I left it with a full tank of gas, added some Stabil Fuel Stabilizer in April 2023.😊
I just bought a clean looking and running 2011 Q5. Yup, seems to be consuming oil, but I am still on my first tank of gas, so I don't know how much. Mine has 132,000kms on it. Runs great, no leaks. I bought the extended warranty on it and I am now negotiating with the dealer that sold it to me to have the engine rebuilt. I guess I should get the timing chain done too?
Oh man, this is the first I’ve seen of the HPFP leaking fuel into the oil. How are we supposed to know if it is leaking? Will a properly functioning HPF pressure sensor trigger the check engine light if it is? That is an expensive part to replace preventatively, less than a replacement engine but still.
So same issues you COULD have on any other car with the same mileage? 130k miles on my 2011 2.0 TFSI A6 and 0 engine issues since I bought it in 2018. Its had 2 MOT failures.. last one was rear light LED blown/not working. New unit £200 for all 4 tail lights aftermarket. ( decided to replace them all as they were looking faded anyway. Genuine Audi £290 +VAT for just the outer.. First failure was pinhole in exhaust. £20 for a spot of weld to plug it.
Love the name badge!!
Definitely selling mines it’s been a headache
Jeez, man. You know how to make a guy paranoid. Seriously thinking about getting rid of the Q5 now.
I have a 2009 Audi A4 quatro TFSI with 170k miles and I can attest to having everyone of these problems but the rail sensor and fuel pump reckon they will be next. If you want a project car these things are perfect! LOL
Owned a 08 a6, transmission was 6k then it still died.... 08 lancer gts of 5 years since 2018, 0 problems buttt just got hit... now in a 2023 qauttro s4 rental.. saw a 2017 s4 for 13k....was going to buy....

im not here because my engine needs help , i actually love these engines . Before driving Skoda Superb 2.0 TSI DSG , i used to drive Citroen C5 1.8 manual non turbo . Now i have 200bhp and shift fast , with citroen i had 100bhp and slow shifts . Why 2.0 liter , well in my country each year you pay for Registration , that was 300$ for Citroen , and for Skoda its 400$ , but if i go 3 liter engine , then its 1000$ just registration , and 300$ more for other taxes . So you get me , why this engine . No other way to get that power . So i love it , and that is why im here , want to maintain it .
Mine was purchased with 170K Km on it , and now it has 230K kilometers that is , so i did 60K , about 40K miles , nothing done to it , just regular maintenance .
So i have no reason to not like it, i love it , best car i ever had and all i need realistically not to get killed in an accident or what not . But i do plan to do the Pistons, because it does eat 1L of oil per 1000Km , its a lot , but its a known flaw , what can you do , cant get it perfect .
So im here to learn , and if i was in US i would come to you to do the pistons , but im not so .
For all you Americans , if you are in to 2 liter Turbos , this is the man , get it from the man on pay for the mistake , you see what kind of engines go around on his channel , thats how it goes .
I was lucky , that and i did bring the car to my Mechanic for inspection and not a singel flaw was found on the car , so i got it .
Not a bolt missing . And got it for only 8500$ , a bargin , but it is a Skoda .
But it has everything , leather , touch screen , heatting and cooling and massage on seats fully electric , front back climate , full equipment as they say , top model .
Its better then basic speced Audi and half the price .Same engine
Oscar worthy & very knowledgeable
Water pump, fuel pump, oil consumption issues, pistons @rings, timing chain all replaced prior to 55k. Currently 66k miles on my 2012 Avant, so far so good.
Your the man, you know your Audi’s! 👍
omg... that was not cheap;
my 90s cars,all 3 of them, bmw e36,isuzu trooper,rover,all have over 200000 and run like new, the bmw has a chain,all original, runs quiet as a mouse, sad that modern expensive engines are throw aways like a bic lighter;
I have a B8 A4 with the EA888.2 and i've had most of these issues. Oil burn fix done, had timing tensioner break on startup and bend all my valves, had the alternator die. Havent had water or fuel pump issues *yet* though, but im always on the lookout for weird codes so hopefully ill catch it in time then they do go.
Why not just buy a reliable car instead of an Audi
@@thunderthumbz3293 because I inherited the B8 and buying a "reliable" car with similar performance, comfort and looks would cost far too much. Also I have Audi Stockholm syndrome
I spent more than 3000e on new parts . After 10 mechanics finaly found issue. The hpfp even after 2 changes was no good and my friend ordered a original audi hpfp and it was ok ( lean code) oil raises cause petrol going into the oil ( if you have oil sensor engine check light) and the second is if you get the epc no over 4000rpm than its the tensioner on the chain. My chain was a little streched but not over but the twnsioner was bad so yeah if you have that problem than thats the issue.
RUclips junkie here ! I own two Audi’s a4 ,, also own 1991 Acura nsx , 2 Fj60 Toyota Land Cruiser, and 1 fj40. These Toyota’s and Acura are the most reliable cars on the universe. Audi’s are trash. Naptown tuner is the real deal Holyfield of Audi’s. Keep bringing it man!
Good videos and good luck with growing your channel. I would recommend investing in tripod / mic etc. More professional videos will get you more views. Also do not upload personal stuff as that will deter people from watching. Stick with one theme, that is Audi/VW fixing etc
Im swapping my 2010 A4 CAEB engine to a 2014 CPMB engine to avoid any more oil consumption issues. Does the timing chain and water pump issues carry over to the newer model engines? Should I swap these out before I drop the engine in? BTW. Just found your channel and I LOVE it. Can’t stop watching. I’d buy a shirt or sweatshirt for sure. Also. Can I request a tool video. Your most used tools. Must haves for a guy like me.
Although the 2009-2011 were the worst years.. you could still have oil consumption all the way up to 2016. I had a 2015 q5 with 180k miles that did 1 quart in 600miles. Yes you should at least take the pump off and inspect the water jackets around the gasket for swelling and at least pull the inspection plug and look at how far the tensioner is extended. I’ll do a video on it soon and if I don’t just remind me in the comments
@@NaptownTuner i wish i knew any Audi mechanics like u in the Houston Area so i can learn more in person about these Audis
Donsll I have a 2012 Audi tt ea888 I replaced the turbo it was almost the same except for one hose entrance. The turbo works ok but now when the engine warms up and at idle the red low oil pressure light comes on ,any suggestions welcome 🙏
I swear there are manufacturers out there that never have timing chain problems. Maybe guides, like on some BMWs, but the chains themselves, no problem.
Hey I live in Indy and I have a Audi A4 is there a chance u can look at it?

I have a q5 that has a loud knock in the bottom of the engine, two of the cylinders run at half capacity. Chain is ok, pistons and rods still going strong. Do i have to revove the whole engine to find the knock?
Thank you! Would love to talk / message about the oil consumption issue / class action case
Look I have a 2006 model, 190000km up today!
Only small fixes for all 19years,change belt once, have original brake pads on still, change back springs this year.
Guys this car is fantastic, dont lessen to bad news of this fantasisk car! 😊
Never overspecialize or you end up like this guy Gone crazy
That's what I was thinking this guy has just seen horror stories and forgets that there are millions of them on the road doing just fine
