Just got a 2016 A3 for my girlfriend. It has 117k on it. I see water pump leak alot on these. Car was wreakin the front so i have all space to get pump out now. I have seen a ton of housings/ pumps. Which are good. Thanks for just showing the right stuff
Can you tell how old the pump is? I don't want to replace the pump and it's been replaced not to long ago. Doesn't look like valve covers are leaking. Or should I take pump off and replace the gasket? Thanks for any help
Just took off my cam shaft bridge and the screen was indeed broken! luckily the other half of the screen was stuck in the port on the head and I was able to fish it out. Thanks Naptown Tuner for your excellent videos!
Thanks for explaining how to put the cam bridge on. I've been having troubles with it but have not tried cranking the cam back and forth yet. Will give it a try.
Nap, I really appreciate the knowledge. Having that notorious " low oil pressure" issue on my stage 2: 2012 audi a4 quattro. Replacing the camshaft bridge, adjustment magnet, and oil adjuster. You've shared sooooo much knowledge on just about EVERY issue with the 2.0t. I APPRECIATE YOU.....
I wan to give you maximum props. My lil bro is rebuilding my cylinder head. I am sure it was this damn screen that ruined my camshaft and head. He told me he watched this video and was gonna pop out the screen on the new part.
Personally it took alot of time to me to understand bridge mechanism. This is very crucial component but poorly designed or precisely saying not wise fitment to cams. I had a hard time to understand why i am getting noise from cam side when engine heated up. I discovered that this was due to low oil pressure which comes only in drive mode after releasing the pedal and momentarily light flashes. I am having the doubt that oil pump is bit sluggish when transmission is put due to loaded conditions and lack of oil pressure alongwith this bridge design did damage the camshaft lobes. I am still investigating this. Your explanation is really very knowledgeable and deep. Thanks.
I bought an 2009 Audi a4 quattro... And like the car man but pcv valve is failing and I'm about to change the valve cover gasket and also camshaft adjuster seal too.. This channel it's been really helpful Keep it up man.
It's ironic that the thing supposed to stop debris from clogging up the oil galleys becomes the piece of debris that causes most of the problems. The screen in my cam bridge had popped out. I followed your advice and deleted the remains of it. I didn't find all of the screen, but fortunately(?) I've replaced the head so it's probably stuck in the old head somewhere.
great video! I am going to follow it to pop out the screen when I check and fix the timing issue (not confirmed yet). A question about the cam adjuster magnet (of 2011 audi Q5 2.0TFSI). I am having a P0016 fault code. I have checked both the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor and they appear fine but I replaced both anyways. Now the cam adjuster magnet is having weird test results. It's measured 6.7 ohm resistance. the magnet pin pops out when connected to an external alkaline batter of 7.5V or 9.0V and also pops out when connecting to car battery (12.2V).However, it does not pops out when connecting to the cam adjuster plug of the car although it measures having 8.2V when the ignition is ON. I double-checked with multimeter while it's connected to the car plug and it's showing voltage of 8.2V so no loose connection. I am curious and can't explain why the same cam adjuster magnet is having different response by same DC voltage of different sources (from car plug and battery). This violates the basic physics law (current = voltage / resistance). Hope you professional guys can explain the mystery. Thanks. Jeff
Love the videos. I have a 2014 A4 (110,000 miles). It’s burning oil. I’m about to replace timing chain and guides, etc. I’m also going to replace valve seals. These were the culprits for my 2000 VW GLX v6 burning a lot of oil. I’d like to see a video of how to properly remove and reinstall cam shafts without removing lower timing chain cover (without placing in service position?).
I’ll do it soon as well as the part 5 pistons that I had to delete. If you have oil consumption it’s because of the pistons, haven’t seen any leaking valve stem seals yet but when I have the heads off I send all the good ones to the machine shop first.
I have payed 126 euros (about 150 USD) for camshaft bridge, OEM. My old bridge has broken oil screen, but that wasn't problem. Problem is non return valve, that ball in cam bridge which holds oil when engine is turned off and without oil pressure. Seat where ball sit was damaged. Because of bad cam bridge valve, I had annoying noisy cold startups with specific VVT rattle only until oil pressure is not reach upper parts of engine. Now, engine is quiet on cold and on hot startup. Many people think that they have timing chain rattle, but it is not a case.
Can the timing chain tensioner be pinned with the lower timing cover on? I got to do a reseal on the valve /cam cover. Now you got me wanting to see if the screen is still in my cam bridge. There seems to be no end to the four ring circus. Edit, I meant timing chain tensioner. Originally wrote cam tensioner. Good job on the 1000 subs✌
I am Lovin all these videos on the 2.0 engine - my engine. :-) Can I ask you a general question? If I have to replace one camshaft because of scaring, do I have to replace the other one at the same time if it’s not damaged?
Hi there love your videos wish to know as much as you do about Audis ,I have a5 love it had same issues with misfire lately want to change the ccv valve can you tel me what is the torque to put it back ?thank you adam
How come there's not a video out there showing how to do the alignment on the exhaust camshaft?? Would it be possible for you to do a video in how to properly install the exhaust camshaft? Hope to hear from you, Thanks!
NT, in this video you mentioned the checkball and spring shooting out of the exhaust camshaft. I had that very thing happen to me, but I found both. Do you have any recommendations on putting them back in the exhaust camshaft?
Hey bro great video. So I have a 2014 A5 Tfsi 2.0 and on the cam shaft the ball and spring fell out, yikes.. put it in not realizing it had fallen out. Why kind of issues of symptoms will I start to experience? Should I buy and replace? Ballin on a budget so eBay ones looking tempting? Help!!
Thank you for your video I am just wondering 2014 Q5 TFSI 2.0 twin camshaft magnet type I need remove camshaft bridge but I have opened inlet side camshaft valve left thread right to turn but I try to left turn to open but very tight Is that normal thread left turn to open Exhaust camshaft Valve ? or same as inlet side ? Thank you
Hi NaptownTuner, Do you also suggest to remove the screens on the balance shafts (2014 A4, engine code: CPMB)? And, is it possible to change the oil pump chain without removing the pan and the pump?
Hey, enjoy your videos..my wife's 2012 cc was rattling on cold start and also would rattle on start up after driving and warmed up. Talked with someone, and they said probably timing stretch or tensioner. I have car torn down, with exception cam bridge and chains are still on. I noticed it has newer style tensioner, and chain doesn't appear loose. Could this still be the problem? And, what is the torque specs on all the cam bridge bolts? Thanks..
Dorman has their own version of the bridge that supposedly has a fix for the screen breaking, theirs uses a one piece stainless steal screen that's laser welded or something. I was thinking of getting theirs but after watching, I'll just get the updated VW part and pop out that screen. It there's apparently because VAG don't trust the customers to change their oil enough, but the damn thing is poorly made that ends up defeating its own purpose.
Quick question no chain on I’m trying to rotate exhaust cam left side one a bit to line the chain with link will that damage something or do cams spin freely
is it too late to remove screen from my camshaft bridge on my 2011 audi avant 2.0 TSFI with 93,000 miles which was rebuilt at 50,000 miles by the dealer because of excessive oil consumption recall, waterpump and timing chains were replaced and guides? I thank you for your indept explanation. Don-Detroit
What is interesting to me is why the cam bridge sometimes dose not want to slide in the cams . It looks like cams are missaligned by some reason . I suspect the actuator on the intaka cam may be slightly worn out and tension from the chain push it in one diraction , but not sure . Have this happened to you ?
Hi naptown tuner, serious talk,can you please do a video on the exhaust camshaft slider? Like what position it lays in the cylinder head?cause after bolting up cam/valve cover,I discovered the exhaust was way back? What the
Hey brother! I did timing chain guides, Timing chains, cam bridge, magnetic cam adjuster, and intake camshaft. Intake camshaft sprocket was very loose considering it’s supposed to be nearly “locked” with minor play against the actual camshaft which is why I replaced it. Upon start up, it has a very quiet and normal idle but has a rattle noise only at 2000+ RPM. Goes away when the magnetic wheel is disconnected so I’m assuming it has to do with the camshaft when it tries to adjust itself. Is this why you mentioned aftermarket camshafts shouldn’t be used? Or would it have to do with the screen missing off the old cam bridge BEFORE I installed the new one upon repair?
i have a 2009 audi a4 b8 2.0t and my cel came on code; p0343 camshaft position sensor (g40) signal to high? i replaced the camshaft sensor and nothing seems to take off my epc light. My car runs fine no problems at all but sometimes on a very cold start it’ll take awhile to start up
hello Mr. Naptown i watched your videos about the tfsi audi engine and i want to ask you about our problem. audi a4 1.8tfsi engine code CDHB 2009. we've changed the timimg chain kit we used mottck88 we've changed the camshaft adjuster bridge motor oil Castrol edge 5w30 oil filter. after we start the car there is a loud noise like a stretched belt and it is coming from the admision camshaft area. can you give us some advice please. thank you and have a good day Sir
What do you think of Dormans version they made to address these issues? Do you trust their “improved” 1 piece oil screen design or are you firm on the screen delete?
Hey great videos. I got this p0341 code, I replaced the cam shaft position sensor. I did this 13k miles ago as well and took it to a shop and they replaced all kinds of things like the tc cover, the tc, the bridge, balance shaft, the list goes on, like $2100. In my research it looks like my issue is just this bridge. Can I just take off the bridge, fish and and remove the filter without affecting my timing, etc? Thanks
I have a question about what could of happened to that mirror type shiny coating inside the journals where my camshafts sit after I took my cylinder head in to get machined. This is on my 2009 Audi A4 2.oT. The mechanic at Audi said the cylinder is junk now and that it looks like it was sanded. The machine shop denies any type of sanding but I know it wasn't like that before. Could acid dip cause that? The shop denied using acid as well. Just wondering what they may have done
Hey Naptown, great videos. I have a 2010 Audi A4 1.8TFSI, it previously failed due to the chain tensioner so I replaced the distribution kit. Now is having an EPC light and P0341 code when 1,200rpm and once the engine is at 90degrees Celsius. We haven’t found the failure yet but some blog suggest to replace the camshaft bridge. Could that part cause the failure?
Hey Guys, at the end I sold the car and told the new owner to try and change the camshaft bridge and that solved the problem. By doing a lot of research seems like that engine has a lot of design issues and that engine is shared with Tiguan, Passat CC and Seat Leon
@@TheDaanyz Thank you very much for your answer, the cam bridge is the next step I'm looking for. I know this engine kinda sucks, i did a bargain with this car, previous owner spent 5000$ to repair the car but still has this problem.
NaptownTuner, as usual, great informational videos and entertaining as well :) Thank you. Question, it seems many experts either I talked to or watched their UA-cam channels recommend replacing the Camshaft Bridge if you open up this area. My question, why does one need to really replace it if either the oil screen is missing or if it is still there but as you and others recommend to remove it as you showed using a flat head screw driver as an example! What is the point of replacing it if the screen is missing or one will remove anyway ? Assuming one can thoroughly clean the existing camshaft bridge, I really do not see any benefit of replacing it and not reuse existing one! If anything, it is unnecessary expense! Can you Plz help clarify ?
The new one is slightly updated but the most important thing is make sure it has no scoring and make sure you track down the broken screen. You can reuse the old one and it will be just fine.
Dude I spines the cam on right side coupe times with out the chain and now don’t know how it supposed to go back also don’t know if my engine should be dead center befor I install chain?? Lost!!!! Pls help do I need to open it up to see where engine is at or how?
Putting that camshaft bridge on sucks lol. Takes patience. My screen was stuck in the oil gallery, I just took the rest of it out and put the thing back on.
on another video on this channel Opus IVS, the guy said that if you remove the cam bridge, you should replace it, in your opinion, could i remove the cam bridge to check the condition of the screen emove it and reinstall it? thanks in advance for your answer
Yes, pop the screen out and put it back on. You could replace everything if you want but we aren’t made of money. An aftermarket replacement would be even worse that putting the same hood part back on.
I live in Zionsville. Personal owner of a 2015 Audi A5 (85,000 miles) that has a tensioner (new type I think) showing 8 teeth. Does your shop replace timing chains or do you just do awesome videos. Assume "Naptown" means Indy but I cannot find anything about your actual shop location or contact info.
Hey broo I have a huge issue with an A4 1.8 tsfi maybe you can helpme , i have a persistent P164D00 ,did a complete rebuild , used most of your tips. I changed the oil pressure control valve cleared the code and it disappeared for a while but about 10 minutes after it came back, of course these comes with a low oil pressure warning light. The turbocharger has lots of play and apparently it is licking through the exhaust ,could these cause the oil pressure issue ?
I had a turbo center cartridge come apart on my first Audi b5 a4 1.8t on the highway.. pouring oil in the exhaust, I pulled over I had a rubber glove and knipex pliers.. I took the banjo bolt off of the feed line and screwed it back in over the finger of a rubber glove. It held for the 8miles or so back home without the turbo spinning (broken) As far as I know you should be able to plug the turbo feed line and run it naturally aspirated to check for proper oil pressure on the gauge. Don’t know why you couldn’t do that
Great videos broth you’re amazing in this. I have a question about the ring and piston from 2009 to 2016 in the 2.0t audi it is true that the pistons and rings of that generation of engines were made defective?? Please I need a real answer about it thanks
Trash don’t do it both had timing faults and the second one (they replaced after I gave them pictures and info) I ran the second one with a timing fault for about 8k miles and the adjuster was falling apart when I finally took it back apart to fix it properly before selling.
Hi there I have a 2011 A4 previous replace both balance shafts because of a oil pressure problem,also replaced all timing chain components,oil pressure problem went away but I have a rattling noise coming from the valvetrain only when revving the engine from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm also the eps light blinks when this happens,but when I disconnect the plug from the cam adjuster the valvetrain noise disappears when revving and it comes back only when I plug it back in.. can you help me in the right direction thanks in advance
Check / replace you’re reverse thread plunger / oil valve for the intake camshaft sometime a small spring let’s go. Typically you’d have a check engine light but one of your rockers could have broken especially if they where put back in after a failed timing / bent valve situation. Eventually it should set a light after electronic pedal control light comes on a few times
@@NaptownTuner what happened is I bought the car with a bad head gasket replaced head gasket and all timing components after start up I had a low oil pressure so I changed both balance shafts oil pressure problem it’s fixed so to your question there wasn’t any bent valves
@@lucapino9837 could have swapped one or more of your rockers from side to side (intake rockers are fatter than exhaust rockers) but I’ve only ever seen one bad head gasket on an Audi and I had to take a twin turbo a8 down to the bare block to fix it. Both sides everything and the regional tech field manager went through it all after it was apart because it was pretty much brand new
Hey Naptown thanx for the infor. My car is experiencing a rough idle. I own A4 B8 1.8tfsi Singapore Import. Had to change pistons and rings as there was a problem of oil burning and heavy smoke on it. The process went well. Fired it up, and had that first kick start 🙂 Problem is after 5 days running, it started to have rough idling issue, put in VCDS and got bank 1 correlation with crank. Tried to do a re-timing, and upon opening the front couldnt see issue with timing being off. But I timed it again just to make sure. Problem wasnt solved. One thin I noticed is Camshaft Bridge Screen was broken and it peeled away😒 Could the Camshaft Adjuster be the issue in this case, as it might be that debries had moved into the "vvt"❓
That shouldn’t cause that fault, maybe if you installed an aftermarket camshaft or only a few times I’ve seen the intake cam (reverse thread) adjustment plug with a broken spring If you double checked timing by matching the links I trust you did it right but that’s usually what it always is with timing out of time or stretched chain
@@NaptownTuner I was feeling pretty positive until I got to this comment😂 I have never had one of these engines apart right now I am looking at a 2014 Audi Q4 or 52.0 L it has P0016 P2293 and P12A4 my plan was to remove the camshaft bridge dig out the screen check for scoring check the camshaft timing why I am in there put it back together and hope for the best is possible this could fix the P0016 engine runs good just has a slight long crank before it starts and no engine noise. Your thoughts are appreciated
Is there any specs on the cam to cam tray clearances? I haven't seen any in the repair manual and if i recall correctly, you said to replace if scored so..kinda made me think there isn't any specs
In that video I’m talking about the snout of the camshafts and the camshaft adjustment bridge. If you have scoring on the cams it’s best to replace the affected camshafts and bridge. I’ve never checked the clearance of the cams to cam tray I just always check it with a wrench like I show in my installing camshafts video. As long as the cams spring back effortlessly then you know everything is good. I’m about to produce a complete cylinder head installing video soon
I love your honest, practical, expert narration and methods. Thank you for everything you do on your channel.

Thank you for pointing out where to put the cam bridge bolt!
I wan to give you maximum props. My lil bro is rebuilding my cylinder head. I am sure it was this damn screen that ruined my camshaft and head. He told me he watched this video and was gonna pop out the screen on the new part.
Excellent explanation and thanks for the tip for special tool,VAG 2.0 tfsi professor
After watching , The intake and exhaust can both get scored I meant to say intake camshaft is more prone to scoring
It is my intake that is scored up pretty bad. But thankfully, it is something we can repair without too much pain in the wallet.
What will happen if it is scored?
How much resistance should that ball be behind the screen? I removed my screen and ball is springing back but hardly and resistance
Thanx for the advise! Going to do the chain soon and will be popping the screen :)

They no longer put screens in the cam bridge from the factory, so you are totally right in taking the screens out
What year did they start leaving them out?
The oil is cleaner than scream fragments . That screen is a time bomb

Hey great videos. I got this p0341 code, I replaced the cam shaft position sensor. I did this 13k miles ago as well and took it to a shop and they replaced all kinds of things like the tc cover, the tc, the bridge, balance shaft, the list goes on, like $2100. In my research it looks like my issue is just this bridge. Can I just take off the bridge, fish and and remove the filter without affecting my timing, etc? Thanks
Did you get this response man?
I have a question about what could of happened to that mirror type shiny coating inside the journals where my camshafts sit after I took my cylinder head in to get machined. This is on my 2009 Audi A4 2.oT. The mechanic at Audi said the cylinder is junk now and that it looks like it was sanded. The machine shop denies any type of sanding but I know it wasn't like that before. Could acid dip cause that? The shop denied using acid as well. Just wondering what they may have done
what's the part number for the three T30 screws that secure the camshaft adjuster to the timing cover?
So what do you do if the screen is mostly missing but can't see it anywhere?
Once that cam bridge screen breaks , inevitably will it be necessary to find and remove it? Does it cause damage?
Isnt there a little spring inside the little screen??
Question, does a 2015 1.8t not have a screen in the cam bridge??? There is no provisions in the CB for a screen to sit???
Hey Naptown, great videos.
I have a 2010 Audi A4 1.8TFSI, it previously failed due to the chain tensioner so I replaced the distribution kit. Now is having an EPC light and P0341 code when 1,200rpm and once the engine is at 90degrees Celsius. We haven’t found the failure yet but some blog suggest to replace the camshaft bridge. Could that part cause the failure?
Hey I have the same problem did you figure out what part should be replace??
I got the exact same problème, 2 years later maybe you'll see this message
Hey Guys, at the end I sold the car and told the new owner to try and change the camshaft bridge and that solved the problem. By doing a lot of research seems like that engine has a lot of design issues and that engine is shared with Tiguan, Passat CC and Seat Leon
@@TheDaanyz Thank you very much for your answer, the cam bridge is the next step I'm looking for. I know this engine kinda sucks, i did a bargain with this car, previous owner spent 5000$ to repair the car but still has this problem.
Where were you able to find and purchase that new update bridge? I can’t seem to find it anywhere online even with the part number you provided
NaptownTuner, as usual, great informational videos and entertaining as well :) Thank you. Question, it seems many experts either I talked to or watched their UA-cam channels recommend replacing the Camshaft Bridge if you open up this area. My question, why does one need to really replace it if either the oil screen is missing or if it is still there but as you and others recommend to remove it as you showed using a flat head screw driver as an example! What is the point of replacing it if the screen is missing or one will remove anyway ?
Assuming one can thoroughly clean the existing camshaft bridge, I really do not see any benefit of replacing it and not reuse existing one! If anything, it is unnecessary expense! Can you Plz help clarify ?
The new one is slightly updated but the most important thing is make sure it has no scoring and make sure you track down the broken screen. You can reuse the old one and it will be just fine.
@@NaptownTuner You are the best, much appreciate the prompt response. Keep up the excellent work you do !
Can a persistent low oil pressure error a reason for this?
en dónde te ubicas Friends 😊
What codes where showing up when this issues comes up? I might be doing this in the next few weeks
Dude I spines the cam on right side coupe times with out the chain and now don’t know how it supposed to go back also don’t know if my engine should be dead center befor I install chain?? Lost!!!! Pls help do I need to open it up to see where engine is at or how?
Putting that camshaft bridge on sucks lol. Takes patience. My screen was stuck in the oil gallery, I just took the rest of it out and put the thing back on.
Did you have a P0016 and did cleaning out and removing the screen fix it thank you
Does this occur on 1.8 TSI...CXBB (2018 VW Golf Alltrack)?
Will the new style cam bridge in this video also fit a 2011 VW 2.0 TSI ccta engine?
As far as I know yes. I rarely work on those those.
on another video on this channel Opus IVS, the guy said that if you remove the cam bridge, you should replace it, in your opinion, could i remove the cam bridge to check the condition of the screen
emove it and reinstall it? thanks in advance for your answer
Yes, pop the screen out and put it back on. You could replace everything if you want but we aren’t made of money. An aftermarket replacement would be even worse that putting the same hood part back on.
Hey when I try to install the bridge it will not go on, I’ve oiled them up but it will not fit on both the cams as once
I lost the pin the goes through the cam bridge. Part #?
I live in Zionsville. Personal owner of a 2015 Audi A5 (85,000 miles) that has a tensioner (new type I think) showing 8 teeth. Does your shop replace timing chains or do you just do awesome videos. Assume "Naptown" means Indy but I cannot find anything about your actual shop location or contact info.

What do you do if the screen isn't in the port but it is broken and missing?
sir one jetta 2.0 problem he is repair engine out side but code is still p0088 high fuel pressure please help me.
Hey broo I have a huge issue with an A4 1.8 tsfi maybe you can helpme , i have a persistent P164D00 ,did a complete rebuild , used most of your tips. I changed the oil pressure control valve cleared the code and it disappeared for a while but about 10 minutes after it came back, of course these comes with a low oil pressure warning light. The turbocharger has lots of play and apparently it is licking through the exhaust ,could these cause the oil pressure issue ?
I had a turbo center cartridge come apart on my first Audi b5 a4 1.8t on the highway.. pouring oil in the exhaust, I pulled over I had a rubber glove and knipex pliers.. I took the banjo bolt off of the feed line and screwed it back in over the finger of a rubber glove. It held for the 8miles or so back home without the turbo spinning (broken) As far as I know you should be able to plug the turbo feed line and run it naturally aspirated to check for proper oil pressure on the gauge. Don’t know why you couldn’t do that
Great videos broth you’re amazing in this.
I have a question about the ring and piston from 2009 to 2016 in the 2.0t audi
it is true that the pistons and rings of that generation of engines were made defective??
Please I need a real answer about it thanks
Can the chain be changed without removing the whole engine out of the car?
No
What happened when you tried using an aftermarket intake camshaft? I kind of want to experiment with those $100 ebay intake camshafts lol
Trash don’t do it both had timing faults and the second one (they replaced after I gave them pictures and info) I ran the second one with a timing fault for about 8k miles and the adjuster was falling apart when I finally took it back apart to fix it properly before selling.
@@NaptownTuner Ah I see, thanks for answering and keep up the good work loving the videos. I play it them in the background while working on my A4 lol
Does it have to be in time to replace it
What if the screen is broken and you can’t find the pice in there
Can the Cambridge be replaced without disrupting the timing of the vehicle?
Yes
So your saying you don't have to have it in time to replace the camshaft bridge?
Hi there I have a 2011 A4 previous replace both balance shafts because of a oil pressure problem,also replaced all timing chain components,oil pressure problem went away but I have a rattling noise coming from the valvetrain only when revving the engine from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm also the eps light blinks when this happens,but when I disconnect the plug from the cam adjuster the valvetrain noise disappears when revving and it comes back only when I plug it back in.. can you help me in the right direction thanks in advance
Check / replace you’re reverse thread plunger / oil valve for the intake camshaft sometime a small spring let’s go. Typically you’d have a check engine light but one of your rockers could have broken especially if they where put back in after a failed timing / bent valve situation. Eventually it should set a light after electronic pedal control light comes on a few times
@@NaptownTuner what happened is I bought the car with a bad head gasket replaced head gasket and all timing components after start up I had a low oil pressure so I changed both balance shafts oil pressure problem it’s fixed so to your question there wasn’t any bent valves
@@lucapino9837 could have swapped one or more of your rockers from side to side (intake rockers are fatter than exhaust rockers) but I’ve only ever seen one bad head gasket on an Audi and I had to take a twin turbo a8 down to the bare block to fix it. Both sides everything and the regional tech field manager went through it all after it was apart because it was pretty much brand new
@@NaptownTuner but it goes away when I unplug the cam adjuster plug
@@lucapino9837 I don’t have anything else for you
Hey Naptown thanx for the infor.
My car is experiencing a rough idle. I own A4 B8 1.8tfsi Singapore Import. Had to change pistons and rings as there was a problem of oil burning and heavy smoke on it. The process went well. Fired it up, and had that first kick start 🙂
Problem is after 5 days running, it started to have rough idling issue, put in VCDS and got bank 1 correlation with crank. Tried to do a re-timing, and upon opening the front couldnt see issue with timing being off. But I timed it again just to make sure. Problem wasnt solved. One thin I noticed is Camshaft Bridge Screen was broken and it peeled away😒
Could the Camshaft Adjuster be the issue in this case, as it might be that debries had moved into the "vvt"❓
That shouldn’t cause that fault, maybe if you installed an aftermarket camshaft or only a few times I’ve seen the intake cam (reverse thread) adjustment plug with a broken spring If you double checked timing by matching the links I trust you did it right but that’s usually what it always is with timing out of time or stretched chain
What are the signs of this part failing?
No signs just take it off to inspect, if you were to get a check engine light from it, it would be too late
@@NaptownTuner I was feeling pretty positive until I got to this comment😂 I have never had one of these engines apart right now I am looking at a 2014 Audi Q4 or 52.0 L it has P0016 P2293 and P12A4 my plan was to remove the camshaft bridge dig out the screen check for scoring check the camshaft timing why I am in there put it back together and hope for the best is possible this could fix the P0016 engine runs good just has a slight long crank before it starts and no engine noise. Your thoughts are appreciated
Bro I have a vw gti I have this code p000A can help me Identify it
Is there any specs on the cam to cam tray clearances? I haven't seen any in the repair manual and if i recall correctly, you said to replace if scored so..kinda made me think there isn't any specs
In that video I’m talking about the snout of the camshafts and the camshaft adjustment bridge. If you have scoring on the cams it’s best to replace the affected camshafts and bridge. I’ve never checked the clearance of the cams to cam tray I just always check it with a wrench like I show in my installing camshafts video. As long as the cams spring back effortlessly then you know everything is good. I’m about to produce a complete cylinder head installing video soon
I have serious problem on the timing of this engine
hey naptown i have a few question about je pistons do you have a phone number
