I too think this is the best video on RUclips for this purpose. I forgot what your face looked like until I saw it again in the final moments. I don't need to see the sunglasses you are wearing or how long your beard is - I just want the knowledge you are willing to share; and this one is loaded with great information.
I was wearing blue Volkswagen glasses in case you wanted to know. Thanks for the kind words. Doing the work is easy. Trying to film and show what is important is the harder part. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the visual, LOL So true about the hardest part being the filming and the editing. Most viewers have no idea how much time it takes. The trolls would wither away if they had to match the quality of a video such as this one. One of the aspects of this job that I have zero confidence with is installing the upper cam bridge(cam cover) with the solenoids in place and matching up the cam lobe positions. Any suggestions on where to go? @@willpoweredgarage969
Thank you for the excellent and thorough video and explanations! Much appreciated. I have the very same issue on our 2012 Q5 CAEB, so your video is very timely. Keep up the great work!
Best video on RUclips that shows how to do a valve job on these engines ! Great job. I am the original owner of a 2015 S3 with 208,000 miles. I am going to rebuild the engine so I have a few questions. Some say lapping new valves into an old head is useless since the engine is cold. The theory is that regardless of how well the valves seat into the head, once the engine warms up the metals expand and you get a different fit. These same people believe cutting the valves is more effective. What are your thoughts on this ? I’ve seen factory assembly videos of these engines and nowhere do I see any lapping or cutting. I am also going to replace my pistons. Assuming the cylinder walls are fine I don’t plan on honing them. Again there are different schools of thought on this. The consensus is to NOT hone since these engines have a special coating on the cylinder walls. If the cylinder walls are scored or damaged - time for a new block. I’ve asked TWO buddies of mine these questions. One is a VW tech and the other is an Audi tech. Both said the same thing - at the dealership they ONLY replace what’s broken and don’t bother with honing or lapping / cutting valves. For MY car however I want to do a PROPER rebuild that’ll (hopefully) last me another 200,000 miles. I appreciate your time and thoughts. Stay well !
Well, That is one long question. Let me see if I can answer it as best as possible. So first off the Valves. The valve train is a simple, but complex system. It is very much dynamic. As the engine runs it opens the valve on a fulcrum. At the same time the valve is rotating in the head and around the seat. I does not close in the same place ( unless its bent or there is other damage). I mention this because I have seen brand new valves that seat in one position, but then you rotate the valve a bit and there is a gap. This usually occurred on much larger displacement engines though. Because of this you need to make sure the valve is not bent, the guides are in good shape and the valves are not worn. Lapping the valves removes a small amount of material from the seat and the valve and makes a perfect machine surface. Again, the valves need to be in good shape. Even if the valves and seats are cut they are lapped in to make sure they seat properly. Now, the other thing to watch out for is cutting or lapping is making the valve sit further in the seat. This then makes the stem come out further. If it is a lot the lifter can not take up the slack and could hang the valve open. When you cut a valve or seat you measure that amount and take that amount off of the valve tip. Are you still with me? lol As for the pistons, If there is nothing wrong with them I would not see a reason to replace them. The piston does not contact the cylinder wall( yes the skirt a bit) the rings do. You must at least hone the cylinders if you replace the rings. Otherwise you will have an engine with little to no compression. The hone helps the rings seat to the cylinders. Hope this helps. One last thing, if the engine runs fine, why rebuild it. If anything maybe just a reseal?
Thanks for your thorough reply. I really appreciate it ! Here's my long story, lol. My engine is misfiring and i got a CEL. Remember it has over 200,000 miles and I'm the original owner. I have taken METICULOUS care of my car and changed out almost EVERY component, ie starter, alternator, turbo, water pump, etc. A warm compression test showed 180+ on all 4 cylinders. However a COLD compression test (car parked for 2 days) showed 120 on cylinder 2. Plus my car burned 1 liter of oil every 650 miles. Everything is pointing towards the piston rings, specifically the oil ring. Which is why i want to rebuild the engine including valves, pistons, bearings, etc. I've heard other people mention "lash" on the valves and state these engines "adjust" after new valves are put in. I didn't know the valves actually rotate during operation, that's interesting. Regarding honing for new pistons and rings i understand the concept. However there is something about Audi blocks, "alusil" i believe - a special coating where you are NOT supposed to re hone the cylinder walls. My VW and Audi tech buddies tell me for repair work they just "thrown in" new pistons and call it a day. They state they're not a machine shop, nor have the proper equipment to machine a block or head. They've stated they haven't had any "come backs", but perhaps the owners sell prior to any issues 😂 Thanks again for your insight. I'll post again once i am done with my rebuild !
Awsome video, just from this i know what to do and feel confident about it. The people complaining about the video are the same ones that stare at you with that dumb look on thier face after you told them the a same thing 5 times in a row.
No matter what, there is always someone who would rather complain than tell us how they do it and how we can improve. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you sir for taking the time out of your day to help us weekend mechanics tackle this type of job. Im hoping to tackle this same exact job on my engine from an 09 audi a4 and I will be referreing to this vid many times😅
Thank you for taking the time to let me know. It means a lot to me. I will forever be learning new things as the cars are always evolving, but having an outlet like RUclips is very helpful for all of us to have a visual of how it is done. Good luck, and if you have any questions feel free to drop me a comment.
Wow great video Will but honestly since you were recording the tear down of the head from the block I would have enjoyed to have seen that in real time.. let us FFwd videos.. you don’t need to, I have exact CAEB 2.0 in my ‘13 B8 and I bought it dirt cheap bc it tagged the valves.. I’ve never done a head rebuild but have a lot of experience.. I’m really excited about doing this myself as a fun project, i don’t need this car I will take my time.. i would have liked to have seen how you installed exhaust cam as that’s kinda tricky compared to the inlet cam.. but overall great video and as always your videos are very informative and detailed 👍🏻
First off thanks for watching and the comment. I get wanting to see everything real time. The problem would be a video that would be hours long. Unfortunately RUclips does not like to promote videos like that. Rebuilding the cylinder heads is very simple. It's the complicating stuff Audi puts around the head that make it intimidating. The exhaust camshaft is not difficult to install. You just need to make sure the changeover lobe on the cam is in the default position ( smaller lift lobe). Audi does have a special tool that goes in place of the solenoids , but if you are careful you can use the solenoids to position it just the same. Good luck with the rebuild!
@@willpoweredgarage969 hey Will oh I wasn’t aware RUclips would have issues with a long video.. ok I’m not saying I need to see everything but I love to watch the detailed stuff that the service manuals never provide I.e installation is the opposite of removal lol.. thanks for your input and I find everything that is critical is in your commentary.. really appreciate the videos you post
@@caseyholder5850 great all new valves, seats, lifters and rockers.. I actually ended up pulling the motor and did piston upgrade and put in new rod bearings and did a new oil pump .. put about $1500 into it with bottom end and another grand into timing chains, guides, tensioners and pulled balance shafts to inspect bearings looked good so put it back in running great
please tell me the part number or name of the VW sealant that you recommend. Your video is very helpful and I'm not sure if you ever added that number. Thank You!
Yes, There seam's to be a shortage on the valves as I had to buy them from 3 places. I have use TRW brand with great success. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Superb video. As far as the tool you used to tap the spring out. What tool/kit would you recommend to do this job well? Lastly, The way you removed the head is very impressive. A lot easier to remove components with the head out. Going to be trying this method soon.
There are so many different types of tools to do this job, at least to remove the springs from the valves. Some or better than others. The tool I used to remove them is only good for removal and not to install, even though it is marketed as such. To install I use a traditional spring compressor. Need one with different cup sizes though since there is not a lot of room with the small springs. OTC makes a good one, Even places like FCP Euro and ECS tuning sell them.
Great video! I pulled the head off my Q5 last night and have it on the work bench. Did you have the head machined before reinstalling or just give it a good cleaning? Is machining the face really necessary for this job?
I did not have it machined. You can check it with a good machine straight edge, but Unless it has been badly overheated they are usually just fine. When cleaning though do not use anything aggressive to scratch the surface or grind. I like to use these special rubber gasket removers 3m sells. takes the gasket off but does not damage the aluminum. Thanks for watching
Hey I had another question. Do the rocker arms / lifters simply pull out ? I have the service manual for my S3 and it shows a VERY complicated procedure for removing them, using a cylinder head holding tool to provide tension, compressed air, etc. I will be rebuilding my engine in a week or 2 once I get my parts. I’ll let you know how I make out. Thanks again !
Well, that is similar to what was originally used. Turned out to cause leaks much to fast. VW and Audi no recommended loctite 5970 for all the case seals. Hope this helps.
If you get quality valves you should not have any issue. You can measure them off the seat without a spring with a caliper or better yet a dial indicator if your concerned. I have never had an issue, i think since the lifter is hydraulic and the valves are set to zero lash. Thanks for watching.
If you can not lap the exhaust valve to seat properly you can cut the seat. It does require specialized tools though. You need to cut the seat and the valve so the length of the valve is correct. Might be worth taking it to a machine shop and have them service all the seats for you. Thanks for watching.
Great video. I have audi a4 b7 2.0L turbo audi. It has 1900000 miles. It's burning oil like crazy. One litre every 200 miles. All four spark plugs wet with oil and carbon build up ( i have to clean plugs every two weeks). Do you think it's the valve stem seals or piston oil rings? Thank you.
Well if the plugs are that wet with oil I would assume rings. I would do a compression test and see where you are at. Id expect 150+ on a compression gauge. You can also get a bit of oil past the valve seals, especially with that mileage I would not be surprised to see the valve guides worn. Do you have any check engine lights? I ask because these engines are under high negative crankcase pressure. If the oil separator is bad it would run rough and throw a light. How is the turbo? When they fail with a bad oil seal it will blow oil through the system. Though I would expect a lot of smoke from the tailpipe as well. So with all that said, Sounds like you need to decide if its time for a new engine, or a rebuild. Hope this helps.
I see several codes. P0444, p0016, p000A. Car has no problem starting. But sometimes it hesitates as if misfiring for like a few seconds. And then a huge blue smoke cloud. Thanks for your help.
Not off hand, but if you have a vin number, it's easy to get. I often use two websites for my audi and vw parts if time is not an issue. Fcp euro and ecs tuning. Can get part numbers from them as well with year make and model. Or even through a chat. Thanks for watching.
100K miles. So, If I were you I would check it out. Are you the original owner? If so and it has never been replaced I would replace it to be safe! Thanks for watching!
Are you asking for the spec? With hydraulic lifter/followers there is no adjustment. Also, if the valves are not cut, there is no need to adjust it. Just lapping the valves removes very little material.
@@willpoweredgarage969 ok, i hope in my head too. My head is from 1.4 tsi, and i am not sure where is the damage. The chain jumped, rough idle, and OBD error correlaton camshaft and crank sensor. After change a new chain, click noise from valve cover. 2/3 inlet valves not move like others, but with a leak down test, i cant appreciate the leak....
That's really it, right. I try to show how I do it/learned it. Of course there are way better more precise methods to everything. Not everyone has the funds or equipment for it. Thanks for watching though. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to explain them. We are all here to learn.
Yeah, I need to work on that. ITs pretty straight forward. Just make sure the surfaces are clean and dry, new gaskets and the engine is not at tdc if the cams are installed. Then torque the head down. After that I have a video that shows how to install the timing system. Thanks for watching.
why not at TDC when installing the head with cams in place. If the cams were positioned correctly for a TDC condition, wouldn't it be okay/essential to torque in this position? By the way, excellent video. My son's 170k mile B8 A4 lost the tensioner and it just doesn't pay to have a pro do the job but this is a great opportunity to transfer some skill and knowledge to him and my other son. Thanks to your video, we plan to do the valve job ourselves instead of using a machine shop. Main reason being my machinist is very good but would want EVERYTHING off the head and you went through the reasons why leaving the injectors in makes good $en$e. :)
They are designed that why. If you buy a complete head from vw or Audi, it comes with the cams installed, and all you need to do is bolt the head down. Thanks for watching.

What computer program is that you used near the end ? Does it show torque spec and everything else ?
It's Elsapro. You need to be a dealer tech to have access. It's the factory service manual by vehicle vin.
how about the valve seat. after lapping the valve I realize is the exhaust valve seat that's actually leaking. Can't find any replacement part online.
If you can not lap the exhaust valve to seat properly you can cut the seat. It does require specialized tools though. You need to cut the seat and the valve so the length of the valve is correct.
