The very popular Audi 4-cylinder TFSI engine code EA888 is an amazing, high-feature, fuel efficient and powerful powerplant. A known issue is the timing chain, which we recommend checking every 50K miles and replacing every 100K miles.
In this video we describe the issues causing the elongation of the chain, and the repair process. The way we do it effectively upgrades the timing system, and addresses also the common camshaft bridge/bracket issue, with the same job.
This engine is used in:
⁃All Audi A3s
⁃All Audi Q3s
-2009-2016 Audi A4
⁃2011-2016 Audi Q5
⁃2011-2016 Audi Allroad

Dorman and upgraded are two words you do not usually hear used together. 😂. I have not had good luck with Dorman parts in the past. You have had good results with the cam bridge piece?
Fair enough! In many applications we stay away from them but this camshaft bridge / camshaft bracket has been pretty solid for us.
Just did this job on my ex-wife’s 2010 A5… it was at like 7.4 degrees before I replaced it. The car had less than 100k miles. Luckily it never skipped a tooth. Incredible to me how quickly these go bad. Why not just use a timing belt if they’re only going to last 100k or less?
7.4 is scary, glad it was caught. Did you have a Check Engine Light on? Probably not. Yes, you're lucky it did not skip timing. In a perfect world the timing chain would last a lot more. But bad tensioner design, 10K mile oil intervals, and questionable link design all play a part.
VAG cars have too many issues which people that buy them get caught out on leading to their wallets being emptied. The timing chain is only one of the bad designs, at least it is not at the gearbox end of the engine like their v8 piece of rubbish !!!
How is that new chain better if it has the same number of plates?
Great questions! The double links in the new design are more resilient to stretching.
@@carhavneurotech But why is that if it has the same cross section material wise? Is the steel different?
