98% might be a bit harsh. I've worked around auto Technicians and most are honest people wanting to make the right repair at the right time. I will say that there is a small number of Techs that just don't know what they are doing and will get run off from honest shops pretty quickly.
Hey Daniel, One of the cooler things that you are showing that the Car Wizard doesn't is the actual mechanic work that goes into the repair. I think it's something that the wizard is missing in his videos and you are doing a great job showing your work. Great job. Show your mistakes as well as your successes, you'll find more people relate to mistakes than success. Show how you learned from the mistake and you'll go a long way!
The fact that the wizard lets you film in his shop is really nice and proves how much he trust and appreciates you. I enjoy watching his channel for the cat advice but yours goes into detail. It’s a ying and Yang situation.
Good to see you found what was causing a problem. Another thing I noticed you didn't do is with the exhaust cam. You can not simply just plop the exhaust cam and call it a day as this car has solenoids which deploy and can change the cam timing for each respective cylinder called Audi Valve Lift System (AVS). You have to slide certain sections of the cam before putting the cam cover on, which has integrated journals. You may have damaged the journal mating surface on the head. NaptownTuner, an Audi master tech who now is an independent mechanic specializing on the 2.0Ts and has rebuilt well over 200 of these engines for oil burning by swapping updated pistons, shows how to do it in this video, timestamp 4:23 - ruclips.net/video/k2e_3yqmvYY/видео.html you can also learn about AVS by searching "EA888 Gen 2 Self-Study Guide" on Google, beginning on Page 4 of the PDF when going by the page # in the bottom left and right.
@@daniel-san464 Ah awesome! I guess you cut that part of the video out, just wanted to double check since this 2.0T can be quite finicky but easy to work on. NaptownTuner is amazing with the 2.0T, glad you were able to find him! Nice work you did! This 2.0T should be good for at least another 130k+ miles before needing another timing chain, though reports say that the updated chain link design should last a lot longer. If its got updated pistons so it doesn't burn oil the 2.0T is actually pretty good.
Great video! We all make mistakes, it happens, specially when we are tired. It's not easy to work an entire day and then work more hours to do a video.. Great content, keep it coming! One thing that perhaps you can explain better next time would be the cam placement. You explained it for the pistons, and showed how to measure. The cams was just dropping them in with no further explanation on what position they should be in or any marks to align them with . IMO it could be more detailed there. Other than that, great video. Perhaps we get lucky when you do the 456 ? 😁
Hey Daniel San, great video!!! It's no surprise to see your channel growing, you have good content, you're humble & you admit it when you make a mistake, thats refreshing to see, you're human, like the rest of us!!! Keep up the great work!!! 👍👍🙂
You’re doing great man. Audio issues happen. No problem could still hear you. Videos about finishing this car is a + Keep up the good work, all the best from the Netherlands.
Well done Daniel-San! Enjoy your attention to detail and the fact you just fessed up to an issue and then fixed it. This car deserves to be back on the road. | Hope you made enough on the deal. Win for all
Maybe one more video to summarize and include those other minor repairs would close out this Audi repair. What a journey and a ton of information to bring this from the scrap heap back to a decent running vehicle.
Daniel-San, you need to fix the blue 4 door that's been on the lift behind every Wizard video forever. The car is too broken for Wizard to fix. Please drop it off the lift and get it running for your boss. He's too afraid to ask for your expert help.
In the 52 years that I’ve been working on cars, and taking cars to mechanics, I’ve only had *one* mechanic admit he was wrong and that made a mistake, and that’s out of dozens of mechanics across three states. Kind of what Car Wizard was saying: 85% of all mechanics are incompetent or dishonest.
man i love this channel, i love the detail of how the engineering and the engine marries up. i already know most of it but seeing you find tdc and do the torquing and timing is just ace. most channels skip over it. love the honesty in the mistake too, proper mechanic. everyone makes mistakes
Daniel, I've seen you on the Wizards channel. Tonight I decided to take a look at your videos. I like the detailed description and explanation of what you're doing and why while working on cars. I'm not a mechanic, I'm a retired nurse of all things, but I like cars, what makes them go, and not go. I've learned a lot from the Wizards videos. The more you learn the better as far as I'm concerned. Sure helps me to have an understanding of what's going on with my vehicles when I talk to my mechanic. I subscribed to your channel just now and looking forward to more videos from you.
Glad to know I'm not the only one who orders the wrong part. Also good to know that it can happen to the best of us (you guys) and not just us DIYers at home.
The fact that you shared your mistake puts you so far up in my opinion dude. You are a gentleman and not scared to admit mistake. You have done a great job with the Audi! Really enjoyed the video - and you’re already getting comfortable in front of the camera!
I want to see those remaining "minor" repairs. I want you to rev the engine so we can hear the exhaust. Tell us what you sold it for. Give us an itemized and priced bill, including labor charges. Please. And Thank You for doing this job!
Hey Daniel-San sh1t happens. Very honest to admit to making a mistake; as I learned when starting work many decades ago, the person who has never made a mistake has never done anything.
Here I am trying to figure out where you made your mistake... haven't come across it yet. Though I can tell you that you need a better mic ... or not. The first half of this video was difficult to hear... even with my volume maxed out.
PS Telling everyone you made a fairly big error was a great thing to do. No running away. excellent. I tried counting the links but there wasn't a frame where it was clear. I think the new one had 85 links and likely the other had something near that, but I'm not sure it matters as long as everything is aligned and the links fit the teeth properly. Did the correct chain have a magnet on it? Or some sensor tripping material or device? A hole? what was it?
WELL done young man you showing your mistake may help someone from making the same sort of thing always check new parts ,sometimes wrong parts in the boxes happened to me a number of times ,
Since I have a Q5 I very much enjoyed the video. I do have to say that those engines are really complicated. German engineering at its worst? lol Anyway liked the channel keep it up. 😀
respect for admitting your mistake, mistakes happen, dont beat yourself up too much about it, but do learn from it. how did the car know that it was the wrong chain? is there a sensor somewhere?
Excellent job, It's the end result that counts. Nobody's perfect. Sh*t happens,lol. P.S. Your videos are getting much better. You're a natural on camera. Looking forward to many more videos from you
Admire that you mention the mistake ordering and fitting it. But please tell us how you ordered the wrong one and what the significance of the wrong part was ? Too long/short ? The color of the links is just cosmetic.WHat code did you get?
Nice! Thanks for the video came from wizards channel but I also recently bought a salvage '12 Q5 except with the 7.3. Still waiting for paperwork to go through but excited to get my hands into it. Just a busted rad fortunately (hopefully) I heard it run and she sounds good so crossing my fingers for the timing chain. I for one would be interested in more q5 bonus vids but I'm bias lol. Are you able to disclose what you sold it for? Mines at 90k and similar condition =]
Mechanics make alot of mistakes but, when it comes to the vital parts of the engine YOU CANNOT. Double check, triple check, before you put the chain/belts on. Magic Mike almost screwed the tranny on Hoovies SLS by using the wrong oil on a $35K transmission. Not a good look.
@@conorf8091 I had a mk4 6 years ago, good cars, cheap parts, but cannot complain on my current GTI mk6, amazing suspension setup, good torque and easy on the gas
YaY "" great job one little mistake, makes you human, the fact that you told us , when you didn't have to ,says, you are very trustworthy to me . Your not stupid, shit happens, you had alot on your plate. You are very good, i would have you fix my Audi Q5 2.0T !! KELLY 😊
Uh oh - that was silicone sealant on the cam cover… New owner is going to have leaks. Don’t use silicone on those precision mating surfaces! It’s meant to be a very light coating of anaerobic sealant. The amount you applied has squeezed out and is now probably in the oil pump pickup, and you also got the cam journals not quite clamped right.
@@daniel-san464 That’s a relief. It was the way you applied that made me think silicone now I think about it I guess. That’s meant to applied evenly across the whole face. The manual suggests using a small roller to apply it like painting a wall. But either way, the whole machined surface gets it, not just around the edges and plug holes,
Wizard should expand to other states and put down the tools, he and his newly "retired " wife could set u the shop, get the right manager, hire the right techs and bring this sort of amazing car care to other parts of the country. If I had a shop like this near me I would have a nice euro car vs the basic 3 series I drive
Sorry about the audio, had so many issues recording this, my apologies!!
no worries man..
happens...
No worries - worked in one speaker, which is better than none!
I came to the comments to bitch about the audio, then saw this 😀
I thought it was my wireless headphones and I tried several times to pair them, disconnect them... 😂 all good!
The fact you admit to making a mistake, makes you better then 98% of other mechanics
He did not have to let us know. That in my book is an honest man to his fans
The guy that does no mistakes is the one that does nothing 😅
@@enricol5974 That's a fact
No harm no foul. Live and learn. I wish all of my mistakes were the NBD variety.
98% might be a bit harsh. I've worked around auto Technicians and most are honest people wanting to make the right repair at the right time. I will say that there is a small number of Techs that just don't know what they are doing and will get run off from honest shops pretty quickly.
We rarely see a mechanic who admits mistakes !!! wow...Respect....Great channel !
Awesome video by a humble guy who can publicly admit a mistake - the Wizard is lucky to have Daniel
YES!! Bonus Repairs... it is always helpful to watch a professional Daniel-San... even on the most mundane tasks.

This needs to be upvoted.. been waiting for that one. For months!
Nice work! You’re a humble, honest dude. Thank God that we have young folks like you with a high competence level! Subscribed!
You're one of the few mechanics who knows how to pour an offset bottle of oil properly so it doesn't glug.
This guy is so smart, wish you well fella on you channel !!
Such a humble man !!
Good tip on the rockers - getting those misplaced could be a disaster!
It’s alright Daniel its a VAG thing when ordering parts , it’s always a problem 😳🤦🏼♂️😂
Awesome to see your progress, love the channel!
Might be a problem in US but not in europe🤔
Takes a real man to admit he made a mistake! Glad everything worked out ok!
In the 52 years that I’ve been working on cars, and taking cars to mechanics, I’ve only had *one* mechanic admit he was wrong and that made a mistake, and that’s out of dozens of mechanics across three states. Kind of what Car Wizard was saying: 85% of all mechanics are incompetent or dishonest.
Nice work, Daniel San! Well done on bringing that lovely Q5 back to life, the new owner will definitely be enjoying many happy miles I'm sure.
A good mechanic is one who admits is mistakes and takes reponsability even if it cost him/her more money in the end.

The fact that you shared your mistake puts you so far up in my opinion dude. You are a gentleman and not scared to admit mistake. You have done a great job with the Audi! Really enjoyed the video - and you’re already getting comfortable in front of the camera!
Nice Job Dan👍🏾 your content is “Details” Dude you’re gonna be just fine in the RUclips world
Thank you for saving this nice car from the scrapyard!
These videos are gold for young mechanics.
Everybody makes mistakes just. keep on going. Don't worry about it.
Your audio is in the left channel only, makes it difficult to listen to with headphones
I heard how this engine has combined the valve cover and camshaft holders. Nice to actually see that piece and how it gets sealed to the head.
I want to see those remaining "minor" repairs. I want you to rev the engine so we can hear the exhaust. Tell us what you sold it for. Give us an itemized and priced bill, including labor charges. Please. And Thank You for doing this job!
Waiting for your honest reply.
Tell us or I'll tell Mr. & Mrs. Wizard!
Well done Daniel!! I hope that a huge profit was made on the sale.
I’ve NEVER made a mistake…..😂 Kuddos for a job well done.
I respect and admire a man who admits his mistakes and corrects them.
Hey Daniel-San sh1t happens. Very honest to admit to making a mistake; as I learned when starting work many decades ago, the person who has never made a mistake has never done anything.
It's my dream!! LS430 or LS460 and maybe a GX470 too lol
You're not an idiot as you stated, its a very complex engine.
Really enjoyed the video. Looking forward to the next one.
very well done to who ever doing the editing
Here I am trying to figure out where you made your mistake... haven't come across it yet. Though I can tell you that you need a better mic ... or not. The first half of this video was difficult to hear... even with my volume maxed out.
I have a mic, I need to learn how to set it properly, entirely my fault!
Thanks to the Wizard for letting you use his shop and for his referrals to your channel. Thanks Dave!
This is why you always compare old and new parts. There might be the wrong part in the wrong box or something else.
PS Telling everyone you made a fairly big error was a great thing to do. No running away. excellent. I tried counting the links but there wasn't a frame where it was clear.

Bonus videos on the Q5!
Definitely, show the remaining repairs!
Interested in the economics of the project. How about a simple vid with you discussing the cost of parts, hours, sales price etc.
Great work btw!
Since I have a Q5 I very much enjoyed the video. I do have to say that those engines are really complicated. German engineering at its worst? lol Anyway liked the channel keep it up. 😀
Mad respect, Danial San!💯

get a VW then, my GTI looks great, drives great, gets good millage and I do the repairs while the spare parts are cheap
I love the look and how they drive too! I will be on the look out for another one
Get a 1997-2009 A3 you’ll be alright. Same chassis as golf and Skodas. MK1 A3 are nice. My mk4 golf is most reliable car I’ve had

Great video, great job! I hope your videographer is Mrs. Wizard. Great job, Mrs. W. 👍
Good vid and great work
Nice work sir!
Love your honesty. Great review.
Keep it original dont change clearly you're getting subs
walnut blaster should take care of that carbon
Bonus video sounds good !
Mistakes happen. Main thing is you correct it and make it right
Very good video with thorough explanations, Thanx!
All good buddy, we like watching your videos!!!
Nice… finish up the series with any final jobs in a proper sign-off video !
Well done on chain... pleased it was not a problem, great video!

Great content to fill the auto void on yt
Looks like someone used the CHEAPEST GAS they could buy when driving that poor Audi.
Admitting a mistake is a big step in creating confidence on the people.
Cool video! But please check your audio, I had mono almost the whole video..
Trying a nutshell cleaning on the engine? Wouldn't that help with the buildup?
Great job, Daniel! I like how you edit your video.
Awesome job Daniel, your a great mechanic.
It's gonna happen, even to the best of mechanics.
great work! I wish I lived near the Omega shop. California too far :(
Nice Job Daniel, so what did it SOLD for? I think the Wizards bought it for $10k
What's up with the sound quality .....it keeps going up & down.
Bonus video
Yes please on the extra 'bonus' videos.
I've even ordered the right part but was sent the wrong part. Always compare the new part to the old part.
