I have a similar problem with my car but all my gears are moving installed. I gave up with fixing it because I thought it would need a replacement engine. The car broke down at a bad time last year so It’s been parked at my job since. After the money I spent on just about everything above the block and was planning on pistons replacement. This video made me realize that my water pump belt did snap and I replaced it along with the water pump. Because I was being cheap, I chose to perform the work myself and didn’t have enough time to double check my work because I had to use the car getting to work. But that water pump shaft and bolt has to be the failure point with my car and now I can’t stop thinking about it. Thank you

clever and reasoned thinking gets deservingly rewarded... had similar starter error-codes on our much loved 2009 Avant (82K miles) that was towed to the nearby Audi dealer, claiming (without even scoping) that the engine was seized (stranded in the middle of nowhere)...The estimate was absurd and I was unable to do my own troubleshooting.or take it back home at the time. Hope the A-car found a smart and dedicated DIY’er like you (!)

Hi! Thanks for sharing this. Very educational. Why can’t I pull out the harmonic balancer bar? It is stacked very strongly.

It hurts that after all this effort and hard work , only a handful people liked my vedio , a simple click is too much for some of us ...

This is a >14 minute video that could have told the same message in under 10. You said "to make a long story short" twice in the video so you must have noticed you were rambling a bit. Also, use better lighting. At one point you turned on your iphone flashlight and it really brightened the picture - that's the way the whole video should have looked.

Harmonic balancer mines is stuck is it just that one bolt?? I know I said water pump has or in back asweel reverse one??? Please help can’t get it out!!

How were did you remove the balance shafts btw?

He goes to the point at 11 minutes 23 seconds. Skip to that mark so you dont suffer wasted time like I did hearing all sorts of non important info. Good you found the issue for you tubers and especially when people are looking for something or an answer you should go straight to the point. Time is priceless and a luxury pal.

Good luck

My friend, is your car still running well?

Hey man where did you buy the shafts? And is it possible for only the water pump shaft to fail? Because on mine the harmonic shaft spins without removing it from its location.

I bought it from a junkyard, I bought both of them go $100 , you may wanna get the harmonic balancer out just to inspect it and inspect the plastic inside , most likely you’ll be happy you do. They can both go bad or either one . Just replace the bad one and inspect the other one .

What are these pieces called? Do you have any links to replacement parts please

I am willing to bet after you got the car going the car burns way too much oil and the deal you thought you got is really isn't. these seized due to previous owner not changing their oil when they should have. I ran into the same issue and then I said f it, I rebuilt the entire engine with new piston rings, and everything else.

You should try to turn your engine by hand from the crank Polly , if your engine still turns then it’s not seized. If the starter got burned, that means you have a short somewhere and or some loose cables that caused the fire

@@strictlyaudis7012 I couldn't get it to turn by hand unfortunately. I'm hoping the starter somehow jammed the flyweel so the crank can't be turned..Not sure if that works. The starters contacts are a weak point. The wire from the solenoid to the starter motor overloads and it melts/burns.

The parts appear to have overheated.
