21:34 *FYI MAKE SURE* that you pull the small wire spring clip as far back as you can towards the base of the serated shaft--which will lock the shaft into its extended place. *REASON BEING* is that if you lose oil pressure, that tensioner won't back-in to the housing causing slack in the chain and possibly jumping time. The tensioner's tension is also supported by oil pressure and not just a spring.
Very helpful. I am replacing mine now (A4 B8) and have watched a number of timing chain videos. Yours was very informative and thorough. I hadn't planned to do so, but after listening to your explanation I am now replacing the o-ring on the cam bridge, and the gasket on the top timing chain cover.
Hey, man. Can the engine out of timing be prevented to start ? I believe it's out of timing. The Measured Block Value ID 3.4 Timing Angle ( currently value ) = 3.75 with the engine OFF.
I have followed all steps and installed new chains as per the markings. However, the camshaft bridge is not going freely onto camshafts. But it came off easily while removing it. Any suggestions would you provide?
yeh of course once top cover off remove the spool valve left hand thread. make sure top in top dead centre and remove it and replace it. look for old screen parts in the channels.
Show a How To video with the engine installed, not pulled out. Like you are showing is cake, try to do the same job with cross members on the way and minimum space. Anyway, thanks buddy
hello. mate can you say me or give me an idea what is the price in average to this kind of job with all parts needed in a seat cupra or golf gti ? thanks.
Great Video !! What’s the torque specs on: 1. Balance Shaft retainer bolts & the balance shaft chain guides 2. Timing Chain guides 3. Cam bridge bolts 4. Crank Shaft Bolt I know you mentioned a few torque specs ...
Hi I have a 2014 Audi A3 it’s a 1.8 tfsi and it’s got oil leak from the timing end crankshaft oil. Do you know if I was to take off the pulley will it still need timing up or would I be ok to whip off the pulley please.
I've seen other vids and they recommended replacing all the bolts on the chain cover plus there is a tightening sequence. some good tips here mate cheers.
@@GetJobDoneofficialthanks for reply....I was talking about the set of tool that u were using to hold up sprocket so u won't lose the timing marks i was wondering where do get those tools? I have another question on this video the engine u were working on is that from an 2009 Audi a4 Quattro 2.0L tfsi ? Because I want to another every tfsi engine are the same. Thanks
@@UltraNsx25 The tool was from eBay ea888 timing chain kit, both eBay and Amazon got it. The engine is 2.0 TFSI of Audi A3 which is the same timing chain set up like in A4 TFSI since they both the same family of ea888 engines.
My timing chain is making noise, so I want to measure the marks. Is it possible just to rotate tires to bring the marks on TDC? And if I over turn it, how can I make the chain rotate back? Might be a silly question, but I am a first timer. Also, I noticed you didn't change the lower chain in the back. Doesn't it require a replacement?
You will observe there are three chains. The most critical of these is the one in the middle, which connects the two camshafts and the crankshaft. This is the one that if it "jumps" (loses time, or gear synchronization) severely damages the engine. _This is the one with the infamous tensioner._ The one in the back (closest to the block) drives the two balance shafts. One of the balance shafts runs to the rear of the engine and drives the water pump. It, too, should be replaced but it won't damage the engine immediately if it should "jump". If it is not synchronized perfectly, you might have vibrations...but it won't kill the motor. The one at the front drives the oil pump and there is no timing issue with that one.
@@GetJobDoneofficial awesome thanks man I’m doing it on my dads Audi TT. 2012 I looked at the engine and my mind was blown when I realised it’s the same engine as the 2.0 Tdci passat 🤯🤯 dad doesn’t like it when I tell him his car is a fancy version of a B6 passat 😂😂😂😂
Hey there! It's been a few months. I wanted to know if the engine runs and if there were any issues or problems after the repair! I have a 2014 VW Jetta SE 1.8L with the EA888 (CODE: CPRA) that needs a timing chain/tensioner replacement.
I hate to be negative... but it looked like the timing marks were way off from the start! That means that the chain slipped and there is probably valve damage. Also, why would you do that job with the spark plugs installed? At least verify TDC with something sticking out of cylinder #1. And why weren’t the new chain’s colored links matching up with the timing marks on the sprockets? I would be extremely surprised if that engine started and ran without damage.
I think you aint got a clue cause the guy shows double and triple checking the timing when he puts it back in with the measuring tool. go see the rest of the series that he built the whole car driving it. you must be some amateur to stick something out of spark plug like a apprentice or something. on 17 mins 14 secs what looks out on sprocket. you heard the phrase you should have gone to spec savers.
when he spun it 3 revolutions there was no noise either also the crank shaft pulley lined up to DTC, Plus the timing marks were with in range of 63 mm. great job get job done keep up the hard work.
@@bestonthemarket6933 the chains color is in the position only when you put the chains on for the first time after he can go again on the position maybe all 2000 engine rotation so its only for instalattion

You using an impact wrench on the flywheel nut whitout holding the chain? You can see the flywheel slightly turning back. Thats a problem.
Can you do this with the engine still in the car? Removing engine mount and jacking up one side of the engine.
Yes, thats the way - you need engine support for it. I did it outside the car becase was fitting new engine in.
I have followed all steps and installed new chains as per the markings. However, the camshaft bridge is not going freely onto camshafts. But it came off easily while removing it. Any suggestions would you provide?
Spun the crankshaft few truns and the bridge slides easily.
Thanks
Thanks for the heads up!
Hi mate I was wondering is it possible to replace the camshaft bridge bracket, without removing or timing the chain ?
yeh of course once top cover off remove the spool valve left hand thread. make sure top in top dead centre and remove it and replace it. look for old screen parts in the channels.
I have the same engine and want mine changed how much would you charge for a job like this
I don't take any jobs right now as we are in middle of some big projects, but you may get quotes around 1k+ from good Vag mechanic.
Show a How To video with the engine installed, not pulled out. Like you are showing is cake, try to do the same job with cross members on the way and minimum space.
Anyway, thanks buddy
Great video mate, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
hello. mate can you say me or give me an idea what is the price in average to this kind of job with all parts needed in a seat cupra or golf gti ? thanks.
Hi Mate, What's the part number for the timing chain kit/tensioner? (I have a 2015 Mk7 Golf R, DSG) Thanks!
Great Video !!
What’s the torque specs on:
1. Balance Shaft retainer bolts & the balance shaft chain guides
2. Timing Chain guides
3. Cam bridge bolts
4. Crank Shaft Bolt
I know you mentioned a few torque specs ...
HI, as a level 3 student i want to know do i have to timing the oil pump ? hope hear from you soon thanks

hi why did you only replace the timing chain and not the balance shaft chain?
does anyone know where to buy that specialty tool that he used?
Which one exactly?

Esq vous avez une idée sur l intervalle de remplacement de la chaîne de distrubition
Do you have a idea about the échéance to chance the chain

i just did mine, thank you so much
Thank you very informative
Thanks, hope could help!
how much was the timing chain kit
The tape measurer 🤣🤣
Tape measure is a life saver ..
old skool ways always the best lol
Can you do this while the engine is in the car man ?
it should be like this i dont know why the engine is out
If you have seen the video you would know why the engine has been out. Each time I swap / install new engine i do chain with it.
@@GetJobDoneofficial I did see the video just asking if I can avoid having to take the engine out and save myself more hassle is all
@@seanconnelly2832 Sure you can

No issue if there was issue would show at beginning. You can also go to obd check and check your timing position. I have another video how to do this.
ruclips.net/video/GezsHFbuSxY/видео.html
this is when he starts engine.
hello. can you please tell me the range in mm on timing marks? thanks
Please watch video should be 63mm from centre and 123 From mark to mark but double check in video I mention it real time
63 mm from centre and 123 from mark to mark but double check my video I mention it accurately
Can you reuse the crank bolt?
Sure you can but would be best to replace
man . where do you live ? I need to change mine and im a not confident , maybe you can help me
Lol what engine are you working on?
@@GetJobDoneofficial 1.8 tfsi , gen II
If you feel unsure. Best get it done professionally for your piece of mind and any warranty ..
