2.0 TSI Engine Bottom End Teardown ~Pistons, Balance Shafts Oil Pump
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
today we teardown the bottom end of a 2.0t TSI engine. We remove and inspect pistons, crank shaft, balance shafts, and oil pump. We look at reasons for Audi and VW oil pressure lights coming on. We also look at why Audi has issues with oil consumption on 2.0t TSI engines, but VW didn't have the same issues.

Great video. I really like seeing the disassembly process. I don't have this motor in any of my cars but still think alot of the tips will pay off when working on other VW engines or even other manufacturer engines. Again thank you for the informative and fun videos.
The top-end of this engine is a nightmare, but damn, that bottom end looks bulletproof. I like the block-stiffening brace, and that main caps are cross-bolted, much like a Chevy LS V8. So technically, it's a 4-bolt main! No wonder modders are getting +600HP out of these blocks without much issue. However that water pump belt looks like a PITA to change. Reminds me of beater brush belt off a vacuum cleaner. Leave it to the Germans to overly-complicate things... Great video as always Charles! Cheers!

VW actually designs remarkably good engines I live in europe myself and i sometimes see things on videos about american VW's that we dont see here. I mean like hoses that arnt correctly put away and the engine not being properly bolted to the car itself. Shame since VW is known as really realiable here and known as unreliable in the usa.
Enjoyed this style of presentation, all the facts and no waffle. Having watched this video and the preceding one all I can say is that engines certainly have become much more complex than they were when I was an apprentice car and truck mechanic more than 50 years ago.
Brilliant video Charles. I have rebuilt over a hundred of these EA888 engines back at Audi for oil consumption, and of course now tensioner failure. It's great to see another tech happy to pass on the knowledge and information regarding the issues with these engines too.

It's nice to physically see what are the causes of renown problems in these engines, after having heard so much about them. Keep it up with this content as well as explaining the causes of failure. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this video. The timing is perfect for my oil issues this week.
The Block itself is very solid. Crankshaft is forged ( i think). Very rarely do the cylinder bores scratch. This is the one part of that engine that's reliable
OHHH excellent Topic to cover. As a recent owner of a 2008 audi a4 avant 2.0T (BWT) the oil consumption was definitely a concern when look at this engine
So grateful that you provide these videos that are so helpful. You previously replied to a question I had. 2014 VW GLI with P151E code. I'll be changing out the VVT valve and with a new oil change of Liqui Moly Molygen. But it's good to see the little filters in the balance shafts that may get clogged and throw a code. I never cared much for learning about or learning to fix a car until I got my VW. I enjoy the experience of learning internal car systems and learning how to fix them. Every manufacturer is different with their own identified issues. Now I have the beginning of chain stretch with 4.81 degrees on obdeleven channel 93. So looking to FCPeuro for a complete chain kit for $575 plus $1K for labor. But I still like learning.
Honestly, I think your instructional videos are the best in KZread. Really underrated

While the Germans keep pushing the envelope and failing miserably. Having said that. Can't wait to see what the "Toyota" Supra (build by BMW) will do long term for its owners.

Hi there, great vid indeed thanks. My Audi had a oil pump pressure issues, car is now in the garage to replace shaft and oil pump. Mechanic said engine should be OK even though I drove 2 miles after warning light came on.
Great job
Your videos are really helpful. Clear speaking, good clear video. One question I have, is what methods to use when attempting to remove a seized balance shaft, particularly the intake side, when the engine is still in the car and the water pump sprocket bolt can't be removed?
Thanks for these videos! Been watching and learning a ton from them! My son bought a 2014 Jetta 1.8L Turbo (I guess this is the MK6 - :) still learning here). He got a CEL a month ago and took it into a local VW dealer. They said timing chain, tensioner, can shafts (2 of them), and a spool valve needed to be replaced. The repairs was $4k+. After getting the car back, it now has beeping oil light. After doing spending $4k+ and still having issues, I decided to try and figure things out myself. I did an oil pressure test and pressure is really. When engine is warmed up, oil light comes on when idle, goes away around 2000-2500 rpms. I’ve replaced both oil pressure sensor switches, did oil/lifter. Dropped pan to inspect pickup tube and pan. Didn’t see anything unusual. Cleaned them both out. Put it back together, same issue. I took the oil pump out thanks for this video (was able yo see how it comes off). I don’t know what to check for after disassembling the pump. I have one on order. During all this, I found a coolant leak in the radiator and have that on order as well. My question to you - while I have the pan/pump out, is there anything I can check while I am waiting for the parts to arrive? Could I check the rod caps/inspect bearings with the engine in the car? With the oil pan dropped, I can see some of the caps. If it makes it easier, I can share some pics. My email is pgamboa@yahoo.com Trying to be a good dad and help my son out figure this issue out and not spend more $ with the dealer.

Replace both Intake and exhaust balance shaft. Also, Replace Cambridge. This should resolve the issue. change the oil too often in these engine, every 3k miles.
Awesome video HumbleMechanic! I'm having a low oil pressure issue also. Here are the steps I took so far. 1)Replaced my Balance Shafts. Found the screens broken but not clogged. Checked the Cambridge and screen came out. (I was told that Audi did a service bulletin to take screens out since they will cause issues and its ok to have them out) Reused it without screen. 2) Reassembled and flushed with new oil and then replaced with more fresh oil. Still getting low oil pressure. 3) Removed oil pan and no grime or dirt or shavings found. 4) Removed oil pump and found a little piece of silicone and some small pieces of plastic but again no major blockage. Oil pump looks to be in great condition. Anyway to check to see or know when an oil pump is going bad? Could you do a teardown on an oil pump and see if a failure could be cause by an internal part on it? Thanks, Chris

Hi HumbleMechanic great video, I noticed on a lot of Euro centric autos as well as KTM/Husky using Torx fasteners. Is there a particular reason over not using traditional metric allen heads and/or metric hex head bolts?
Engineering is wonderful. Imagine the design process and considerstions. Were do we put? That would be too heavy... that will be in the way of "my balance shaft drive". How heavy gage chain do we need for cam shaft. Do we need crossnolted bearings? Interesting to watch teardown. I had the feeling on learning, absorbing information and tios that somehow, someplace will come in handy. Thanks for a great video
Nice editing job.
Nice shop!
Morning Charles, great video. I am considering inspecting the oil baskets on my balance shafts while I have the front of my engine apart. Just noticed that Audi recommends installing new shafts if you remove them? Your thoughts?
When I first drove a 1974 Passat the engine was a 1500 smooth and simple and reliable. This carried on to the 1800's, now they are not only unreliable but have design faults built in. Yes they have more power but at what cost. I could replace the timing belt in in 15 mins on my 1987 Passat .
Thank you for this video. I have a 2009 vw tiguan has 120k on it , the oil pressure light keeps flashing on and off randomly. After i changed my oil pump and the pick up tube and the oil pressure sensor nothing got changed till i seen this video last night. I fixed it and didn't cost me 5$ Thanks alot for this great video. By the way vw dealer told me i need to rebuild the engine or replace it🤣 Thank you again
This is good to watch as my 64 plate S3 with 40000 miles and full Audi service history is in having a engine rebuild now , Apparently it's a big end knock , been quoted 2450 for the rebuild which is much cheaper than the silly money Audi wanted to replace the engine

They changed a lot of things. Bore spacing is now 0.5mm less at 3mm between cylinders. The exhaust manifold is now built into the cylinder head so the turbo is bolted straight to the head - for faster emissions control and reduced turbo lag. Also they changed to a twin scroll turbo for reducing lag. They now have FSI direct injection and MPI port injection, and the high pressure system now operates up to around 200bar up from 150bar (from memory). There is also variable valve timing on the inlet and exhaust camshafts now rather than just the intake. The thermostat is electronically controlled now.

Great video! I have a 2011 Audi TT with the TFSI CETA 2.0. What I am having a hard time understanding is why my bearings don’t have the color code on the sides of them, unless they have just worn off. However, I located the upper and lower (shell) stamps on the block and crank. RRRRS for the upper shells and BGGBG for the lowers. When replacing, do you normally match these colors up for replacement? The crank is in good shape.
Hi, I really like your videos and they are very informative. I have a 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L tsi Wolfsburg with edition 80k miles . It has been at the mechanic for 2 years now and spent around 6k $ in parts and repairs and still not fixed, I have low oil pressure message and its about 20psi at idle and 35psi at 2000 rpm (warm or cold it's the same), we have changed the oil pump, balance shafts, cams, cambridge, the head cylinder and the valves and the check valve that's on the head, the vvt valve on the cam, the oil retainer valve, oil pressure switch, bearings, chain and tensioners even the entire high pressure fuel pump assembly...literally everything that possibly could affect the oil pressure. I dont know what else I could check, I looked at every forum and took it to Volkswagen dealership multiple times and still the same problem. The engine runs like new but 20psi of pressure is not ok. If you could help with any suggestions or maybe an oil flow diagram for that engine that would be greatly appreciated. The only thing that hasn't been replaced is the engine block. (I will not trade this car or sell it due to emotional attachment...). Thank you in advance.

Oil screen from the balance shaft and Cambridge would have got stuck in the oil galaxy. You got to hunt for the screen inside the engine, if they are missing from the Cambridge and balance shaft. There is also oil screen in the break boost pump which is connection to head of the engine. Look for that too.
So many small bits of plastic stuff everywhere. Engines have really become mechanicly unfriendly the last 20 years. And there engines had a service interval of about 20000 km (12500 miles) and I don't think it was annually either. It is every other year and 20000 km today. That is way too much with all these small filters and part that needs good oil pressure. Nice vid @Humble, I really enjoyed it!

Thank you for the video on the 2.0T engine, I had a piston failure on mine and had to put in a new block, my question is it ok to leave out the oil strainer screens on the balance shafts and on the servo hub that goes on the cams, the engine kit came with a new servo hub that has the oil screen already installed. Many Audi mechanics have said to remove the screen out of the servo hub before installing it because the screen will let go at about 80,000 miles and create a blockage taking out the cam bearings.
I work on these engines all the time. I have heard about the balance shaft issues but I have never seen it. I have seen the guides on the shafts chain break and cause crazy vibs but I never saw the balance shafts causing an oil pressure issue. Was that a still in warranty problem or a high mileage issue?
I would really enjoy seeing a audi b7 3.2L tear down how to.
Makes it look so easy

Loved the video 👍 The wife has a 2012 beetle with the 2.0t. Should I shorten the oil change intervals to help with the sludge ?

I’d do 5k if I owned one.
timing tensioner aside, i was thinking the bottom ends of these might be okayish till you got the balance shaft quirks.. just nope. these things are a little too... finnicky, for me to consider them long term viable.
Those balance shafts are a joke along with other crappy parts. We are at the top of german motor engineering that is carefully designed to fail. Thanks for the tour though! :)

The old Porsche 944 had balancer shafts. The Mechanic told me is was actually a Mitsubishi patent design!

@@keithmatthews1673 I believe that they are referred to as Lanchester balance shafts, after the guy who invented them.

This was when you have engineers with too much time on their hand and I think everybody's going to take care of their cars that means a lot of oil changes

Looks like you can't eliminate the balance shafts on this one
I like the video, I would like to know if we should remove the screens out of the new shafts before install?
