AUDI TIMING CHAIN HOW TO

The chain has also been redesigned (wonder why). You'll see the evidence yourself as to why it fails.Īudi has 'stated' that the timing chain should last the life of the motor well, I can assure you to not accept that nor go by it. If the rattling noise comes from the area of the timing chains (back of the engine) for 1-3 seconds after the first start of the day, replace both upper chain tensioners of bank 1 and bank 2 with the optimized chain tensioners. Take the ring off of the tensioner, flip over the pawl, take a pic and share. Verify condition by observing engine sound during cold start.

The tensioner fails because it wasn't designed 'well' enough. Usually, the timing chain tensioner in any vehicle will not require any maintenance, but the timing belt often needs to be replaced after about 100,000 miles. The chain doesn't lead to the tensioner failure. I believe the chain was the ultimate cause of.the tensioner failireRyan, this you? Certain year’s models are more expensive than others because of the time and labor involved to access the timing chain. However, the cost can range anywhere from 1,100 to 5,000. So the chain that's suppose to last 100k only lasted about 86k for me. The average cost to replace the timing chain in an Audi S4 is around 3,750. Not bad for turning the motor by hand but bad enough it would definitely cause a problem. My chain was so stretched that even with the new tensioner the chain still jumped a little. Volkswagen and Audi 2.0T (TSI) engines from 2008 to 2015 have issues relating to the lower timing chain tensioner. I also talk about tips and tricks that are left out of the service information.

So I replaced the tensioner and put the old chain back on just fitting things really. In this video I show you how to replace all the timing chains in this vehicle. I've read things saying audi says 100k is the lifeine of the car. I've always heard audi says a timing chain should last the lifetime of they car.
