In this video customer left his Audi A3 Quattro with us. We had incorrect correlation fault with the timing in the engine ECU and it wouldn't rev over 3500 rpm. After we lifted the car on the ramp and saw all the oil leaks, we knew straight away this will be a tough job. And the best part was after we opened the engine up...More info in the video. Enjoy!

![Best Audi A3 Mods (and ones to Avoid!) [8L 8P & 8V Tuning Guide]](/img/n.gif)
heavely underrated chanel. ( Im a 15.years of engine overhauling and tuning with increasing HP expirience...)
Great work! I wish I had known about you guys when I had my 3.2 TT rebuilt - The garage I took it to did a terrible job (nzengines), I had to take it back after 3 months because the head gasket blew. Broken connectors, rounded bolts + body damage and afterward VCDS did not show new chain values so I don't think they even touched the chain. It looks like you really care about doing a good job for the car
Great video. Ive always wanted one of these. Im a young mechanic and was put off by the timing job but to see it done it doesn’t seem too out of my experience. This channel has been great help. I was going to get an s5 v8 but im glad i watched your videos 😅
It's quite obvious where the engine problems in that car are coming from. They never do oil changes which are extremely important in Audis.
Great video, looking to do the same in my A3 shortly. Nice to see it all done properly.
Had a Jetta vr6. I absolutely loved the noise it made. Still do.
I have seen a UA-cam kid swapping the same VR6 from the Audi into a VW Gol that came with the 1.6. The vr sound is insane (specially if you get rid of cats and resonators….
Long oil changes are just a no no, filters clog up and oil starts bypassing the filter and all the carbon start wearing the internal that's if it doesn't block the oil pickup pipe gauze, spend the extra on the car then skimp the servicing always find strange
I've not seen a cam cover in that state since the days of mineral oils! New full synth oils seem to have made that sludge/crud build up a thing of the past, well I thought it had! I guess this engine has had extended oil changes or been driven hard a lot?
Overly long change intervals/skipped oil changes is one possibility. Also, failure to use 502.00 spec oil will cause sludging as well. It's possible it wasn't used by one of the owners in its lifetime (presuming there was more than one). OTOH the body and underbody look in very nice shape so it's hard to understand how they took good care of that and not the engine...
I absolutely love your work and the best thing, you explain everything! that's the way! share knowledge!
Very KNOWLEDGEABLE
Thanks so much for sharing with us
Great video thanks 👍
God bless you 👍 🙏

Best of all, he gets to drive all those cool audis 😁😁
when you are doing it for long time, thrill is gone...
Interesting , ive got a 08 R32 Golf with starting problems. Once its started its very quite and very smooth. Its just cranks and doesn't fire until it wants to hot or cold. When you open the drivers door you can hear the pump prime. Its had new front lambda's VW , new crank sensor VW , plugs , fuel pump and filter.... its done 150k now and its mint inside the engine oil changes every 4-5k .... cant get to the bottom of it ..... great channel by the way
Injectors or coils.
Worse is bank2 selanoid is stuck open, problems starting hot or cold, bad idle, misfire between 2 & 3k
Geez. So many VAG engines with timing chain and guide issues requiring engine-out (or close) repairs. I love the look, performance etc of a V8 RS5 or an I5 RS3 and have seriously considered trading my Subaru STI for one of them but without as talented and dedicated a shop as VAG Technic nearby I wouldn't dare.
You can tell where was the issue with this one 😅
But thanks for watching and please trade the Bublaru sooner Bette you won’t be disappointed with Audi quality 🙂
So many people who buy them do not use the specified VAG oil, thinking any old oil will do. It won't do, and the oil does actually need to be changed, unlike in this car. When you run valve grinding paste (aka dirty oil) between the chain and the guide, it will wear. The chain stretch in this filthy engine was not enough to cause timing issues, but the grooves in the guides contributed most.
Nice work...
It seems like the timing chain guides are so delicate and the material is not adequate to withstand heat...
I have 3.6 q7....I worry about chain guide deterioration even though I am meticulous with oil changes etc...
My experience with Ford and Toyota dohc engines is they go 200k miles with no correlation issues due to timing chain or guide wear
It’s very individual! This one done 130k but looking at the stage of the internals it didn’t had loads of oil changes 😏
@@VAGTechnic that's good to know...thanks
Audi guides are made of chocolate. Oil in my 20 s3 gets changed 6 monthly or it will be a rattle can I’d 3 years. BMW again next for me. Straight six petrol.
I had two of these brilliant cars
Have you tried BG dynamic engine restoration for cleaning out engines? Amazing product.
Haha nice job reversing the lowering of the subframe video to make it look like it was being reinstalled :P
idk i’ll comeback to this vid later lol… that is a TON of work for just a rough idle. Im looking for better diagnosis before i tear down the car like that. I just put the car back together again
Big job.
Me: OK google can you please show me some concentration music, I have work to do today.
Google: Here's another video of VAG Technic
i dont suppose anyone knows what the part number is for the green o ring in the upper timing casing,also the rubber seal as shown as i can only find a mk4 golf r32 seal that looks similar ,regards frantic r32 mk 5 owner
What should be the angles for both banks in VCDS after new chain installation, blocks 208 & 209 i think?
Have same code 2.0 fsi bpg. Checked belt timing and chain timing on back, new chain and tensioner and adjuster and oil control rings. And cam sensor, just ordered a crank sensor , hoping that is the problem. Checked oil pressure and that’s good. Have you seen the crank sensor cause this ?
hi i have a problem with the compressor audi s4 b8 when the car is cold it goes and when it warms up it no longer goes at 4000 speeds it turns off
Hi please contact us directly
I thought you needed to remove the engine out of the engine bay to fix and is cam chain hard to fix?
Looking at getting my tt mark 1 3.2 v6 chains done, how much does this cost thanks
Dobra robota .Gdzie mozna kupic takie lampy do warsztatu jak wy macie na suficie?
Hi I have a question regarding your work, do you also do diesel engines by any chance?
I wanna come work just to learn😬
Hi where abouts are you based
That's one rare steering wheel
man i have similar car and i cant find inner cv joint mine is 32 teeth, did you know were i can find it?
your video almost makes that timing chain job look handy ,,, how long does it take and what does it cost , roughly , in real life ,,,, Im trying to decide between an a3 3.2 and an s3 tfsi , and the direct injection does not look good in real life.
Definitely go for S3 . Base job labour material is 1600£ 2-3 days would say
@@VAGTechnic I value your opinion ... many thanks . Did the s3 still have oil consumption issues .. some have told me that the s3 has different pistons and rings so it's not such a major issue. Just the carbon build up . I can't help but wonder if they just don't get driven hard enough once in a while .. or do they just need walnut blasting at whatever miles and it's part of the maintenance... thanks for letting me pick your brains ... t
So rather this engine to work on than to replace chains and guides on a 2.4/3.2 TFSI in a longitudinal platform car?!?
Where are you guys are???
I was looking for this video, because we have this car with this engine in family. I am wondering where is the oil filtrer positioned?
On the engine :D
in trunk
I've come to notice that these audi has the most unpleasant start up. The thing is just scary sounding
where did you buy the hoses for the exhaust system?
Hallo fromm Italia.
Hi aftermarket , online
roughly how much do you charge to replace the timing chain?? im only a few miles from you guys and mine possibly needs replacing... Thanks
Hi , anything between 1600£-2900£ , depends if adjusters need doing as well
Oil changes required
more often
What a mess...I have 2015 S5 with 40K, I hope things are cleaner when the timing mech needs service...yikes.
Yeah inattentive owner clearly. Or they park on grass overnight...
Quick question, is this generally an engine out job as per Autodata and 14.9 hours, but I see you just dropped the box, are all the A3 3.2 engines the same? as we have been offered a 2004 3.2 auto 108k mint for a grand but with fault code P0118 correlation lower power limit reached and wondered if we can get away with just taking box off instead of taking engine out Thanks for any info
Hi,
You can but as you can see we don’t 😅 but time saver to leave the engine in .
@@VAGTechnic Nice one, thank you, looks more than plenty of room guess Autodata want you to do it hard way lol. Thanks for the reply.
WOW, somebody sure did not take care of that engine.
Nasty. U must clean the vvt solenoids also
Customer did not cared about service and may bought wrong car. Not enough driving can generate load of carbon. No service and it leads to disaster.
What is the logic behin the 16 count, arent all chains the same lentgh?
Gap between camshafts marking
Thank you
tell Ms. HOT695X to change the oil more frequently...
Did … but again , didn’t saw them since 😂 expecting phone call with problems any time soon
@@VAGTechnic which oil is the best for this engine? and how often
Hi how much did this cost?
Hi around 1700£
OMG whay would you buy a car like that
Scrap it, I’ll buy the engine and turbo it 🤣
Where you based???
West Midlands U.K.
@@VAGTechnic
Thank you
That engine is sludge city
Is it me or alot of these audi engines break internally quite often? I dont see this stuff from BMW
N47
VW engine from Golf R32.
It’s prob just as reliable as a BMW. I used to own a BMW E46 330i, 320000 Miles.
Now i own a Audi A3 3.2L 2003, manual 6-gear with just barely 100.000 Miles. Def last nearly as Long if it gets enough service. I change Oil on All my cars every 15000 km (just barely 10000 miles
I've gotta stop watching you boys, I'm thinking of applying to the local VW dealer 😳😬😬😬😬😬
timing chain would not be worn if oil change was proper
🌷🌹🌺
Audi makes some weird engines. I think that is good for this guy's business.
Well, just look at what BMW does...
Was the VR6 one of the worst engine ideas ever?
From what side of view ?
@@VAGTechnic Well it is heavy, not very powerful for said weight and didn't offer any of the performance of actual V6's of similar displacement of the era.
@@sinoperture 6 cylinders fit where only 4 did before.
@@DeePaignall Yeah but in this use case a turbo 4 probably better anyway. if you just have to have a transverse mounted engine to keep the car small with back seats.
@@sinoperture More cylinders are usually better, the bentley w12 has 2x turbos & 2x VR6s joined together, again to save space. Plus the noise is worth it over a 4 pot.
Owner put in wrong oil, non- synthetic oil. Synthetic oil only. Oil was also not changed frequently. He destroyed the motor. VR6 3.2 Original Cam chain\tensioners can last 200,000+ miles.
No it's oil specs that is important.
Looking at the build quality of the vr6 and comparing it to the vw 2.0t that replaced it, is so disappointing. The vr6 has all the hallmarks of a reliable engine: roller style timing chain, cast aluminium timing covers, port injection, aluminium intake. The vw2.0t was built like a financial timebomb for its owners.
For this engine it is clear the owner didn't focus much maintaining it. Try this style of maintenance with the 2.0t and you would end up with a destroyed engine.
