  • This 2.0t TSI Volkswagen GTI engine had catastrophic piston failure on cylinder 1. This was likely caused by LSPI. Ive seen a few VW GTI engines fail with the piston breaking apart. This is may be due to EXTREME KNOCK. In this video we will teardown the engine, talk about why and how it failed, and a little about GTI Racecar. #humblemechanic #vw #GTI

    I've had many Audi's in my life and have always paid their high price [for a VW like product] because of the great ergonomics, beautiful Bauhaus-inspired design styling and good general build quality. If I look at my current A4 in detail, I am astounded at the lack of both good ergonomic design and honest build quality. The buttons fail early, don't work in terms of ergonomics and the car is clearly designed with Pre-determined product obsolescence in mind. "Everything will be worn out by 200kkm". My first TDI lasted 500kkm with no issues [1000km range on a 48l tank of diesel!] The next generation lasted 400 [1990's], the next gen lasted 350 [200's] and the next, 250. I take care of my cars, I pay a high price for them [chunks of my life] and have been loyal to Audi. My current Audi is KAPUT at 215kkm. Everything is worn out! MADE TO FAIL. Flimsy! ...... As an Electrical Engineer and Industrial designer, I have to admit that my professional opinion is that this sucks! I am no longer seeking and Audi as my next car, after 30years at the wheel of the 4 circles. I note their presence on the list of the 'You shall own nothing and be appy" club, with great sadness. Herr Hoch would be doing high RPM's in his grave, if he were to see the sorry state of the once wonderful marque that he created. Sandy Munro is quite right, of course. SAD, very sad.

    I had to replace a burnt exhaust valve (injector clogged and went lean) on my B8.5. When I went to install the exhaust cam, since the lobes move it didn't quite fit so I pulled the lobe a bit to slide it in... Next thing I know a ball bearing and a spring go flying! Luckily I was able to find it and put my cam lobe back in the correct place. The car runs fantastic now BTW... Also I didn't know there was a specific way to but the solenoids back in for the cam... I just tossed them in and sent it!

    That electrically-controlled rotary valve based thermostat is the first one of such kind on a passenger car(EA888 gen3 was announced 11 years ago, then gen3 bz in 2015, gen3-evo for Euro-6d in 2017, evo4 in 2020). It has been a great design of engine thermal management, but it tends to fail(leak) at an early mileage.
    The thermostat is being improved continuously that almost a new iteration is employed every 1~2 years. The leak issue is said to have been fully fixed in an version released in 2019.

    Question: On these engines, to remove and reinstall the valve cover (eg. For resealing), can it be done without having to re-time the engine? There looks to be only the valve cover holding the cams down, would they spring up and/or move at the end without the chain when it’s removed, then causing issues with timing or refitting etc?

    Hey Charles!
    You're my last hope.. Bare with me for the long post!
    Bought my 2011 A4 last December. Bought at 96000km and had an android head unit installed on the same day.. The issue started 2 weeks later.
    Previous owners put 87 in it for 10 years. ive been putting obly 91
    Only happens when temp is sub-5 degrees celsius after the car has been sitting for 4+ hours.
    Only codes showed were p0300 intermittent misfires occasionally but car runs great once its on.
    Took it to 4 mechanics (including Audi).
    2 said nothing was wrong and the other 2 tried all the following:
    - replace all sparks and coils
    - replace all 4 fuel injectors
    - replace engine air filter
    - replace fuel filter
    Car doesnt have oil consumption issue (had stage 1 fix under a recall under previous ownership).
    Timing chain not done yet.
    - engine oil interval is 10000km under my ownership as I do lots of highway driving
    Car is now at 130000km. Issue has persisted since.
    Any ideas?
    Also I recently noticed that I dont always hear my fuel pump prime upon door opening, and usually that dictates how the car will start.

    Hey Charles. I am super excited for that water pump video. I remember reading the slide valve thermostat SSP around the time the GR Yaris came out. Somewhere I saw that Toyota had to put in a lower opening thermostat for that car to make 268hp. Meanwhile VW has to put in this ridiculous dual valve electronic doodad with seven different operating modes to make less power from more displacement. Why?!
    This video was great and the idea of a future Mk7 racecar makes me very happy to be a patron. What do you think of using stock R pistons with aftermarket rods for E85 builds? I know the stock rods don't hold up too far beyond 400 ft-lbs but I'm worried about piston slap with aftermarket aluminum pistons in my daily.

  • @miketeeveedub5779
    @miketeeveedub5779 Před rokem +1

    One thing I've noticed on many modern engines is the engineers have been moving the piston wrist pins closer to the top of the piston. This leaves very little space on the piston skirt for the bottom ring lands in order to allow for piston wrist pin insertion and crank clearances. I believe this came out of racing to increase mechanical advantage and reduce piston drag. Problem is, racing engines aren't expected to last for years in various driving conditions without meticulous maintenance. Add to that a possible performance tune and lugging the engine at low speed in a too-tall gear is enough for catastrophic failure. That piston displays all those shortcomings.
    It used to be that engines had "overhead" built into them. This allows for aftermarket performance upgrades. The LSx and 2JZ are prime examples of that design philosophy. Today's engines are built to finite limits. Sadly that engine demonstrates that clearly. That engine absolutely needs forged pistons for any medium performance upgrades. Maybe VW should've had those from the factory. Looks like the bean counters won that decision.
    Thanks for the video Charles - very interesting teardown!

    EA888s are crazy expensive to build right now. Was in the ballpark of 9k to if you include full rotating assembly, complete fuel system, gaskets and hardware, and a complete head rebuild on my 8P A3Q.

      I had Skoda with this engine. Now I have Audi A5. What surprises me most is the fact that Audi is so much quieter and cultivated. And I don't mean inside the car. What I mean is when you open the hood the engine is super quiet.

    Hey Charles, I have 2016 R and I've head an issue of oil seeping into the #4 cylinder spark plug well. I was hoping you can use this engine to show how to properly reseal the cam cover as a DIY, I can't find any videos or guides on this process.

    I have the exact same engine with the exact same issue and the exact same symptoms as you guessed (tuned, low speed pre-ignition). When the oil pan was removed, there was debris from a piston in it. So it’s been sitting in my garage since then. Got a new engine and I never even bothered to take it apart.
    To this day I still don’t know what to do with it.

    Right from you open the top I can tell the person didn’t take care of her care well lol.
    Heads are burned . Cylinders look alright. I think the reason why the spring broke probably from the pressure build up maybe when driving it and not working on the engine itself.
    The other day we had a bad case of one cylinder was not working it been broken for awhile, the second when just broke, there was gasoline from injectors, the water pump gasket was broken and since it was it made the car overheated. It was a headache and a rare case.

    I wonder if there'd be any symptoms of low speed pre ignition. I have the gen 2 with IE stage one tune on 93. Seems like when its cold out I'm getting a light knock on start up. Thought it might be a bad motor mount, but it only happens when its cold. 🤷‍♂️

    I have a 2017 Skoda RS that was tuned, and did exactly the same thing. Clean smashed the ring land off no 3 piston. Had a strange ping one day for half a second as i was driving, nothing more. Next day the wife took off from the traffic lights and boom, engine ruining rough. No other warnings. Just ticked over 60,000km.
    I swapped the engine for 10,000km MK7 GTI engine and deleted the tune. Apparently, the Skoda EA888 had a different piston material and its not as robust as the MK7 EA888 piston.

    QUESTION. sorry to be annoying, but im doing a valve cover gasket replacement and im wondering if i need to do anything with Timing or the cam's in order to remove the valve cover. will removing the valve cover affect the timing, chain or cams in a anyway ? do i need to take extra step in order for everything to be at the right timing ? thank you

  • @tullgutten
    @tullgutten Před rokem +2

    Shame that they had the ring gap too tight
    But worst of all is having a timing chain instead of a belt as they often fail between 70 to 190k Km
    Every VW Audi with a chain is a ticking time bomb 😂.

    • @paulschab8152

      I think a shorter oil change interval helps with that. Not that 10,000 mile bs. I change my Tiguan every 3,500 miles.

    Hi humbleMechanic. I hv a 2009 VW Scirocco. It is now in the workshop bcos of misfiring. The code says P0302 n after changing the ignition coils n plugs it still stalled.
    The first time it stalled, fuel got into the chamber. Second time i changed the injector but still suffers the same fate.
    What could be the cause? ECU?

    I've got a '16, APR Stage 2 Golf R. I take really good care of the car, it's my daily. I noticed it developed a mild vibration around 3K RPM on the highway. Thought maybe it as a wheel out of balance and continued to drive the car. About 3 weeks later, spun a bearing. Located a used block with 55K miles and it's getting rebuilt and put back in the car. It's going to set me back about 9K all in. Soooooo frustrating!

    Pre-ignition creates excess crown heat, causes rings to expand beyond end gap provided. Rings have nowhere to go so blow the ring lands/skirt apart.

    @humblemechanic I had my timing chains and head gasket replaced at the dealer and I keep getting 17949, 16538, 16825, 16398. I've taken it to the dealer twice and they've run their tests and about 30 miles later these codes pop up. Especially the 02 sensor with no activity. Both upstream sensors have been replaced and this keeps happening. I need to smog the car as I'm passed due. I looked up the 208, 209 measure blocks and get -8kw and -8kw. Any ideas? I can't keep taking the car to the dealer to just clear the code. 2004 vw R32
