- This bolt is tricky to get off. Take an extra time to take it off other was you will have to take the cam off the car to take this bolt off. Lots of guys posted online for it. You can this special tool on eBay or amazon. Audi dealer in my town did not sell these tools.
That bolt and socket design are trash, and a poor choice on using it for that location. A hex head or triple square would have been a far superior choice for Audi/VW. The torque to install it is only 15ftlb/20.3 Nm, which would not strip it. But it is a stretch type single use bolt which probably expands once heated by the engine which tightens it more.
I agree
Thanks for this video. My cam locking tool did not fit at tdc when I lined it up. Maybe I needed another rotation?
Had cam chain and tensioner replaced... Even with the original tool the bolt stripped and had to drill it out, it was a nightmare job. Manual says torque is 20Nm + 45 degrees.
yes. even confident mechanics strip that bolt. it's a stupid design.
@@vindieu yes it is
Idk if my engine is revised or what but when i took apart timing cover the adjuster fell right out as if the only thing holding it was the cover. I have an 06 passat VE 2.0TFSI
@Hitman a joke its not my guy.. Literally fell out.
tfsi.. a pain in the assss
I am not going to buy another Audi or a BMW after selling this one. I found them to cause lots of work and money to keep them up. Parts break down often, lots of plastic parts in and around engine, special tools needed to work on them, parts cost is high. After all, it’s not worth it. Unless you enjoy working on them.
@@nasserkaouk Scotty Kilmer says, no customer of his ever bought any VW or Audi twice. I have the same issue. bought one for 2k, costed me 1k per 600 miles to keep alive.
Is this cam adjuster bolt reverse threaded?
No, it is not
Was you loosing oil pressure through the tensioner, is that why you where replacing the chain?
I did not know if I was loosing any oil pressure at the tensioner or not. I replaced the chain and the tensioner because of the sound of the engine. It sounded like a Diesel engine while running.
@@nasserkaouk I'm having the same "diesel sound", did it help to change the chain and tensioner? Or does the engine still sound like a diesel?
LerMaFunky, yes diffidently. Replacing the chain and the tensioner did work. Good luck.
@@nasserkaouk thank you very much :D
You are welcome. Yah the Diesel engine sound will go away after you change the tensioner and the chain. And while you have things exposed change the high pressure fuel pump cam and check on the any antifreeze leakage on the back of the engine.
Ribe socket
It looks very alike but it is a slightly different design done by VW/Audi. This is why people are damaging the bolt and then have issues to get it out. No issues with OEM Socket - can be found on eBay as the dealer wouldn't sell it to a private person.
No. Polydrive and Ribe are not the same. Splines in the Ribe are thicker and taper toward the outside. If you were to attempt a 10mm Ribe on this cam adjuster, the splines will not fit and you’ll end up damaging the head bolts or cam bolt.
Heat the head of the adjuster bolt with a oxy/acetylene torch just a bit to relieve the tension, the bolt will loosen MUCH easier. No drilling required. Always replace the bolt.
Thank you for this important tip.
heat dilates metals, you sure this wont make it even more locked in?
tried to torch it. didn't help. now trying to find an impact wrench.
@@vindieu when heated, the bolt expands, but the cam (or nut) expands more
Damn u speak chilled/slow
Uuukkkrrrraaannniiiaaannn
Can you tell me the tork of that bolt ?
some people say 100 nm. Some others say 20 nm
Erwin Van Riel its a main dealer part only. its cost like £15 i have one

I don't understand the big differents between the tension
