Thanks, yeah that's one thing I should probably do, I'm guessing that's why it says service on the dash.

Thanks, yeah I wanted to keep it simple for others who don't like long videos but still try to help. Also I recommend getting the Audi maintenance manual from factory manuals to help along the way.

Wow, that's a bill. Thanks for watching, I'm on 30xxx miles and still running strong.

The liquid Molly won't make a difference in the stretch of the timing chain or the wear on the tensioner, it probably makes a difference in wear on internal bearings and seals. But just be cautious of the chian because once that is out of spec it turns into bent valves and machine work plus a timing chain. Honestly after I did this all I'm worried about is the piston ringing bc of oil consumption but that's not a big deal like timing.

Hey sorry for the delayed reply, but for you or anyone is looking on ecstuing for a timing kit for 2013 to 2016 you'll look for the kit that says "from 2013" and if your looking for 2009 to 2012 it should say "up to 2012". I see they now have different variations with different years, if you can't figure it out I would suggest calling them to get the correct kit. I'm sure they'll be happy to help, hope this helps.

Yeah thanks I definitely learned a few new things.

So I was looking for my service page from audi but couldn't find it, I do remember that my chain was -4.00 degrees and you can push it around -6.00 is what the service rep said. The motors in the 2013s and newer are better than the ones in the 2009 to 2012, they had tensioner issues most the time and that's why the timing went bad. As far as noise I mean possibly chain slap, or rough idling but you can either take it into get the info or check your tensioner to see how far it pushing.

If I remember it's just a bolt and the tube, but maybe put some oil on the end of th tube that insert in to the block to help it slide back in

Got them from ECSTuning website but be careful when reading the description if it says to 2012, that's 2009 to 2012. If it says from 2013 then that's 2013 to 2016.

@@latenightgarage7895 Thanks!

How did you fix this if you did ?

What did you find out? Mine does this as well

If you guys are still trying to figure it out, then take your cars to get the timing checked. They can tell you if there might be some stretching or worn tensioners.

@@seanh3075 Well mine was two things. To start it was one of my injectors a little clogged up which was causing a very slight misfire at idle but then it started getting worse and a lot more noticeable I thought it was the timing but it ended up being the piston rings were getting so bad it caused a misfire. When I took it in and they tore apart the engine the tops of the two of the pistons were completely black like they had been barely firing. I would do a compression test to make sure that’s not your issue. Hopefully it turns out to be the timing chain or something less than a new engine like it was for me!

@heylucaj5799 interesting. I've looked at top of pistons when i changed the plugs with inspection camera and they look normal. Did you have a lot of carbon build up in intake ports? I have to do a cleaning as mine is pretty bad and i think this may be it. No codes either.

Probably 6 to 8 hours not to bad, but that's with changing the coolant and oil. It wasn't hard at all just follow the manual and make sure you have the tools and its a breeze. 👌

@@latenightgarage7895 hell yeah brother, bumpers off now, working on the crash bar and rad support

@@jzx_shane heck yeah you got this 👍

@@latenightgarage7895 I'm struggling so bad trying to take off the radiator support :( I took the two torx screws off from the top but don't know where else it's connected to

@@jzx_shane if your still stuck you have to remove the 3 that are hiding around the aluminum bash bar support bars so 6 in total, you can message me on my Instagram @L8te_night_garage.

Go to ebay and type in (tfsi special tool kit), it will bring up the tool kit for 1.8 & 2.0, TSI and TFSI it's like 60 bucks. You also need the manual for the motor and a torque wrench

Hello and thanks for watching! I have a 2007 infiniti g35, do you call then gt350 skylines? Or are they just infiniti g35 over there ha

Hey so I changed timing chain around 140xxx I'm at 149xxx now and the cars running great. So I know the pvc valve on top of the valve cover could cause smoke on acceleration, but a big thing I that from 2009 to 2012 they were know to have recalls on the piston rings and timing chain tensioners. Your car could possibly have bad piston rings and letting oil blow by into the cylinder causing smoke and excessive oil consumption. Other than the recalls these cars are wonderful machines. When I was in the market for one I did research and decided the 2013 to 2016 was the best to pick from.

I think the 2009 to 2012 B8 was the first generation of the chain driven motor which had the recalls. In the B7 I think they used the 2.0t belt driven motors. So with the B8 motors they had bugs to fix, which led to the 2013 to 2016 having the second generation chin driven motor and also came with the new face lift making it the B8.5

@@latenightgarage7895 thanks for the reply !, yeah I went to the Audi dealership and they told me about the piston rings and that the total price to fix that would be $9k CAD, and I was like there’s no way I’m paying that for this car, a lot of people is telling me to get rid of the car but I bought it because of the size, it’s the perfect size for me, it’s bigger than a compact car but smaller than a mid size, also because I like the exterior and interior design and I thought it has enough power, also the AWD because I live in Canada, so it the almost perfect car for me, but after looking at how expensive it’s going to be to fix the oil consumption issue I might have to get rid of the car which is really sad because I really like the car, I though about going with an S4 now because it’s more reliable, more power and the engine sounds way better, but after having this experience I’m not sure if I’m going to go for another Audi, I really like BMW’s too but I know people in my family and friends that bought BMW’s and they have many problems and very expensive to fix or maintain and that’s not something that I’m looking into getting right now, so I might have to go with something more reliable probably a G37 or IS350 or even the Acura TL, they are all RWD with the option of AWD, I’m even considering a genesis coupe, I never liked that car at all but a friend bought one and the car is growing on me really fast and I actually like it 😅

@@samwh4775 we actually just got a 2010 S4 and I love the car I'll have videos on it hopefully soon but I'd stay with audi, they have great performance and AWD systems. The G37 AWD is nice but lacks the performance that the S4 has (if your talking about the 3.0t/ supercharger), Depending on your budget I'd pick a b8.5 A4 2.0t over the others bc they still make great power off a stage one tune on a stock motor.

@@latenightgarage7895 Oh ok ! Thanks for the reply !, I’m still not sure if I’m keeping the car or not, I’m trying to find a way to return it to the place I bought it, but just curious did you have a lot of experience working on engines to be able to replace the timing chain, because I’m thinking that maybe I can change it myself, maybe but I don’t have experience at all with this and it seems like something really important so I don’t want to mess up with something like the timing chain of the engine

I'd say atleast once or twice depending on the condition, I recommend going to a mechanic or audi dealership and get it checked to be foresure that's what I did. I noticed the symptoms after 140xxx

Honestly it depends on how you drive the car, oil maintenance and more. I'd say it's always a good thing to take your car to a shop and have them measure the timing degree, that's what I did when I took mine to Audi to be serviced. Another way is if the car has slow starting, slow response, chain chatter from bad tensioner.

Yeah it shows 2008 A4 and up, I got it from www.factory-manuals.com/ It's about $75. It comes with 1000s of pages on different things for you car Vin, and it take up to a few days for them to send it over email.

Like 140k, I think

Sense I removed the whole front support I didn't have to remove the radiator, but I think there only 2 torques bolts the hold it in place on the bottom of the support, but I'm not sure.

I bought my manual at manual factory for about 70 bucks it takes about a day or two for them to get it all together and email you it but it was a good buy.

Do you have their website to order, I never done it, and this will be my first, any advice for my from your mistakes, or how to align those marks before put in new chains? I appreciate your helps, thank you. Success

@@cydls688fatech7 factory-manuals.com and there was nothing to hard about the replacement just have to follow the instructions.

@@latenightgarage7895 thank you so much for everything, wish you the best 👍👍

@@latenightgarage7895 btw What was the symptoms for your Audi, related Timing chain?

I did not get a CEL, I noticed it was idling rough, long start up time and I could hear the chain at times bc it had slack from stretch and the tensioner being worn.

If you don't think you can then maybe have a machinic do it, it might cost more but I'd hate to hear bad news from anyone. But if you feel confident to try it just make sure you have a good timing kit, tools, and manual on how to do it.

@@latenightgarage7895 this weekend I’m going to try to get all the tools and have it all ready because I’m loosing too much oil. Audi want almost 2500 but I’ll try ima be watching your video like 100 times lol thanks again 👍

@@luisreynoso7733 what model do you have and what year?

@@latenightgarage7895 good morning is a A4 2013 now model I’m not sure

Bought it from ECStuning.com

I noticed a slow start up, sluggish, rough idle, and slight noise from the chain. The car can still run, it depends on how many degrees the chain is stretched. This is one of the biggest reasons the motor will jump timing, also do to a bad tensioner, it's kinda a 50/50 between the two.

140xxx miles but the cam timing chain have been changed before, not sure when though.

@@latenightgarage7895 thanks for the response, my girlfriend has a 14 with 65k I don’t hear any chains rattle at all but I was curious.

@@mikemiklavic1930 it's not always chain rattle, could be a weak tensioner before changing mine I noticed that the car lost power over the 3 months of owning it, bad gas mileage, and starting up rough. So i decided to take it to Audi to do a diagnostic ($180) and come to find that the chain was -.588 and max before changing to a new one is -.400. If you do decide on changing it out i would recommend ECStunings Audi OEM ultimate chain kit ($624), with 2014 you wanna find the kit that says from production date 7/2/2013. also, don't forget a new lower cover and the timing chain tool kit I got mine on Amazon for $60 I think.

I’ve looked in their website and see they have many manufacturers. Did you buy “ecs’s” brand name or did you buy the “rein” ultimate kit? Also it’s been 2 years now, how has this kit held up for you?

@@jefferyflory4685 our A4 has just over 100k and going strong I think I might replace the chains and guides out of precaution.

Why's that

What happen?

Still running strong.

Cool just did the same thing. Ever updated the pistons?

No

What about the rear main seal I see you’ve changed the PCV to prevent it but has it happen and what do you recommend

Have not done that either, I only burn some oil.

Just a first time thing so I wanted to make sure I did everything right, but I understand that now.

Yeah I guess so, it was one of my big videos I was kinda nervous trying to stay on track and film with out forgeting the steps. But I mean it kinda gives a general look at how it's done even though I didn't film putting the chain on.

@David Cooper thanks
