Here to say thank you! Did the cam chain on my edition 30, made marks on the cam’s and cradle before I took it off but for some reason was half a tooth out when I put it all back together, still had it’s full power but revs would hang, idle high etc etc. Attempted to sort it a couple of times since but I never got it right, then I came across your tutorial for the chain. Been about a month now since I’ve done it, and touch wood, it seems to be all okay. Counting and marking the chain links away from the brass link was a massive help. Had to subscribe because of it, and will check out more of your videos.

Hi, great tutorial video! I recently bought a GTI and checked the engine group 93 values - it looks fine (-1.0KW). I didnt check group 91 tho. What does that mean for the timing chain and timing belt? Are they both in good condition or I can only be sure about the chain? I am a little bit worried about the cover next to the fuel pump (yours has white "GTD" writing on it) mine is very dark and oily - what could that possibly mean? Previous owner stated he did some work on timing 13k miles ago.

It's only done 1,500 miles since the rebuild but at least I have some idea on how to monitor it now so will just do a quick check once a month? Today it developed a suspected air leak after the idle went crazy, so checked out the throttle body on VCDS plus the sensor both seemed ok and working correctly, so we had the smoke tester out with the UV glasses and torch to finally locate a burst pipe right under the manifold 🤦‍♂️ These videos on KZread actually help a novice with diagnosing problems rather than running to the garage for everything 💪

This was really useful thanks! My S3 had HPFP failure and I've replaced: Cam chain cover (The bore for the follower was damaged), Hpfp for a new unit and replaced the HPFP internals and the piston was damaged (They're uprated as car is stage 2+) using my cheap reader I can see that my fuel rail pressure can't keep up at full throttle, if I put foot down and wind to maximum boost the fuel rail pressure drops down to almost zero, the engine floods and won't start until it's been sat for 20 mins. My intake cam lobe had some wear following the failure, I cleaned it up with 2000 grit and metal polish then changed the oil and filter.. I'm thinking that I need to replace my intake cam due to lobe wear. Is the process for replacing the intake cam pretty much what you showed in this video plus just swapping the cam over? There's nothing needs re-shimming if I'm changing cams? Thank you! Much appreciated

@DecimalTenths

2 жыл бұрын

Hi pal, Sounds like you've had a mare...🙈. To remove the inlet cam you will have to remove the upper cam cap/cradle which also holds down the exhaust cam. This can be done leaving the exhaust cam timed up via the belt, but just be careful if you're not removing the belt, to ensure it doesn't come off. Also when refitting the cradle make sure you're careful when torturing up. Not a terrible job to be honest. The ideal way is obviously to unhook the timing belt and relieve the pressure from the exhaust side.

Great Video! I will always mark the belt like you do from now on. Ok, here's my issue after replacing the timing belt on my 2007 Audi 2.0tfsi BWT. Timing belt changed, car up and running. Now I plug in VCDS to check cam chain and in timing block 091 getting 6.3 / 28.0 and in block 093 I'm getting +5kw. I was expecting a -4 or -5kw since I just rolled over 200,000 mi (320,000 km). So I pulled off time cover, checked the marks on cam and crank pulley and they look correct. pulled spark plug 1 and double checked for TDC and that looks good. Am I correct that +5kw means the timing is advance? I've been hearing what I think is a bit of cam chain slap on startup, so I'm getting parts together to do the work and when I checked VCDS I got the +5kw. Also did the cam pulley seal while I was in there. Could I have put this together wrong or have the belt 1 tooth off? Have you seen this before?

@DecimalTenths

Жыл бұрын

Yeah we see positive (advanced) figures often. Generally not as big as 5kw, but its nothing to be worried about. The timing sounds correct from your figures. Remember the phase position is merely a measurement of error (normal to have some), and can indicate a tolerance in the timing components as well as a fault. Best bet is to replace the chain, tensioner etc with genuine bits and see where it is then.if it's still out, then at least you have peace of mind that there's no danger of it snapping. Then road logging would confirm the VVTs ability to adjust cam timing inline with specified.

Pretty sure we all feel the same way mate 🙈🤣

I was wondering if you took off the timing chain cover without removing the vacuum pump? It’s hard to tell, any idea as to why my vacuum pump was stuck?😂 I took of the 3 bolts and it wouldn’t budge lol, was it because it put it in tdc?

No they can be stuck sometimes, and we've even seen them jammed up with silicone from previous removals too. It will come out with the 3 bolts removed.

Danke sehr gut erklärt endlich richtige Videos gefunden habe 👍👍👍

Fantastic video, looking to check my timing soon, in block 91 i have a requested value of 28 degrees all the time and my actual between 34 - 36 degrees and no phase value, have you seen this before?

Yes pal, Your timing is incorrect. For that actual value with no phase then I'd suggest that your belt is a few teeth out. Possible chain also, but start woth checking the belt first 👍

​@@DecimalTenths spot on, was exactly 2 teeth out. turns out the shop that did the cambelt 2 years ago messed it up. i owe you one buddy

@KH Smith Belt is 3-4 hrs, chain is 3-4 hours. Expect 6-8 hours labour total for both

so i did mine and it all seems fine, no weird sounds or anything, sounds amazing on idle and revs just fine, but ive noticed tiny small backfires when the car is cold and i rev it, and i honestly dont think ive had that before. as soon as the cars gain temp the pops stop. could the timing be off?, i think i need to get my self one of those readers

It is possible that your timing is out. Best to check it and know for sure 👍

I just changed the thermostat housing, belt and tensioner, on my gti. They're the biggest jobs ive done as diyer. Ive just had the belts and water pump done by VW. There's a slight rattle on the chain also now im thinking i could change it myself. What you reckon? Anyway subscribed 👊

Cool pal, If you're a keen diyer then this job isn't a bad one. Just lots to look out for. The thermostat housing is the worst TFSI job in my opinion

Ah i should clarify the belt and tensioner was the alternator not the timing. Ill watch this a few more times first. You make it look so easy. I know id be pulling my hair out doin it 😬

So the cam timing delay (-4) comes from worn out timing chain tensioner? would this be the same case for the 1.8t engines? On a cold engine I can lift up on my hydraulic tensioner and cam timing 1 will be -2-3 but driving it usually finds it way to -3.8-4 but the belt is tight would this be chain tensioner or chain?

@DecimalTenths

Жыл бұрын

It can come from any part of the system that wears and allows a bit of slop. The principle is similar on the 1.8t engine, but generally not a problem as long as it is all timed up properly. Best to check vvt actuation by logging on an 1.8t to see if there's an issue.

@@DecimalTenths I'm going to go to a manual timing belt tensioner cause I dont want a bad hydraulic tensioner to take me out, just wasnt sure if I should throw a new chain chain tensioner at it as well which I probably will, my timing marks line up but does -4 mean the cam timing is -4 degrees out? Like if I had an adjustable cam gear and advanced it +4 it would be zero?

hello, GTI MK5 here. In group 091 I get 28 degrees (spec) and 26.5 degrees (actual). on group 093 I get -3.00 degrees. What I have wrong? also do you recomend replacing the cam adjuster when doing the chain? thank you in advance!

@DecimalTenths

Hi yes you should replace the tensioner. You don't need to replace the adjuster if yours is in good condition. Did you use Genuine parts?

My phase position on group 93 is at -20. Group 91 shows within 1.5 degree of spec vs actual. Timing chain kit done 50k ago, no rattle from there at all either. Cambelt kit only 1 year ago. No idea how it's that far out and not sure where to investigate. Occasional blips in engine feel at low RPMS, but starts quickly, pulls great and no codes besides p0016 002. Any ideas?

Definately a timing error code there. Got to go through it all - check belt timing, check chain timing (might as well replace if going in that deep), check the variator pulley isn't seized, check the gauze on the back of the tensioner is intact, assemble and log vvt position vs spec.
