Edge Motors 1.8T VW and Audi oil sludge removal and camshaft adjuster replacement

- common problem in vw and audi 1.8t motors, oil sludge caused by poor maintenance or poor quality oil used.
PLEASE "LIKE" THIS VIDEO!!!
NOTE: the fitting size at the oil filter mounting bolt is 8AN
in this video we show you how to remove an engine oil sludge out of 1.8t engine and how to replace the camshaft adjuster
oil sludge is very common on 1.8t motors VW and Audi, the oil pressure switch is designed to activate the low oil pressure warning at around 7psi of pressure, and it is only active at 2000rpms(at 2000 rpms the normal oil pressure for 1.8t is around 45psi or the lowest is 35psi) so if you see the oil pressure light on your cluster at around 2000 rpm your oil pressure is WAY too low. you should stop immediately !!! you might not make it to that exit that's 500feet away...
If you take your car to the dealership, they most likely will replace the oil pick up tube and nothing else, but that will only solve the problem for some time, and not fix it.
(IF YOU HAD A DEALER REPAIR OIL SLUDGE PROBLEM FOR YOU AND THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTH PLEASE POST WHAT HAPPENED)

Finally someone with actual and factual knowledge that uploaded a how to video. This was so well done. These guys right here all the type of guys that I would want to have working for me if I owned a shop or the guys I would want to be fixing my car if I wasn't a tech....
My 2001 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8t w/5Spd trans is @ 254kmiles and still pulling strong. Just finished up my fourth timing belt and water pump and second cam chain tensioner replacement. Replaced the original clutch at 185k miles.....
Audi/Volkswagen really are great automobiles as long as you listen to the vehicle. if there is any type of issue, you got to be on top of it right away! I understand not everybody is financially able to do all the scheduled maintenance type work and when stuff starts to wear down and begin failing they can't replace / repair immediately. If you are one of these types, a Volkswagen / Audi is not for you. Go buy a Toyota.....
I can guarantee you though that the driving experience and satisfaction / joy that you get from a Toyota is nowhere near a well maintained Audi/VW......
Unless we talkin about the 3rdGen Supra/ 2ndGen MR2 😊
This is the best audi repair video I have seen I wish these guys were closer to me they should teach audi dealers how to properly fix a car
boraepr no shit my Audi A4 I just replaced the turbo with an Oem kit and working on replacing all the vacuum lines and all the sensors.Its a fun car but damn have to treat it like a high maintenance lady😂
You are the REAL deal! I wish there were more guys who do the job correctly. Great work! Wish I lived nearby.
These guys are the real deal! I have had my Audi and my volvo at their shop and they are honest!
A truly thorough job. It should serve as a warning to careless/ignorant owners. i commend your spotting of additional problems and mandatory repairs beyond 'clean the sludge' directive of the owner. I hope the previous 'mechanic' watched & learned.
that engine flushing tool is awesome! also, the idea of catching the steam in a rag is pure genius. this video helps me out alot. thank you for sharing
A very clean job and sparing no effort. It is a pleasure to watch you guys.
As soon as i saw that cigarette hanging from his mouth, i knew i was listening to a true pro
Facts
one of the most informative and instuctive sludge removal for an a4 ive seen very well done!
Easily the best wrenching video I've watched in the past year. Best part is when he says "the owner should probably get new spark plugs" when he is in the middle of doing like $3500 worth of repairs on the engine!
I love you guys, I LOVE the way you work !!!I wish I knew someone like you in my country. Thank you for respecting the cars !!
Very helpful video, even if one is not going to go to all of this detail, it helps to gain important understanding of the 1.8 oiling system and its complexity. Thanks for putting this out.
Wish I had seen this last year when I changed my timing chain tensioner. Very well done video!
Great video! It has saved me $$$. Over the past year I have watched it several times doing different big jobs on my B6 (timing belt, front cam seals, tensioner gasket). Next is to de-slug the whole engine this summer. The audio is just as important as the video so thank you for taking the time to record.
hey guys, perfect description to exchange cameshaft timer by new one. My car makes heavy noise. By this Video I was able to mount New one without removing cameshaft in. perfect, i hope we will get more of this Videos!! I use it for Passat 3B5 1.8 92kw. Thanks a lot, you save my money!!
I wish all mechanics were as consiancious as you are. Nice Job!
Excellent upload you explain everything correctly and in detail no background noise good camera work well done very informative
thank you for this video... i had the noise issue coming from the spark plug, it was driving me nuts!!! took out the plug and found the ceramic loose to the thread making the noise even with the coil unplugged. you helped me by coincidence, thanks!!!!
These guys are really good. Its nice to see them work. I wish all mechanics were as thorough.
Great video, i really needed a thorough video about replacing the cam chain tensioner. Thanks!
Best video ever. These guys go above and beyond...
Great video and above all a master mechanic. Good job! Worth of watching every second.
Everyone needs to start to share this video(Especially the ones whom have commented), because at only 13k Subscribers????? These guys(Ukranian/Russian?? perhaps) deserve WAY MORE subs!!!!
Excellent work guys! I can never understand why people use silicone when there is an o-ring/gasket made to seal two surfaces together. Your engine flushing process is very clever!
Unfortunately, hardly anyone makes an aftermarket oil pan gasket for this model. I checked OEM Volkswagen, aftermarket at Deutsche Auto Parts, ECS auto parts, and German Auto Parts. None of them had a listing for an oil pan gasket. All indicated that a tube of silicone gasket maker should be used. However, there was a listing for the gasket on Rock Auto
You put in wrong year, try to put in 97 or 98... the only years that had oil pan gasket are the earliest 1.8t the rest dind have it from he factory, that’s why they sell silicone for that.
The old gasket won’t fit newer engines, but if you try to put the old pan on with silicone, you will crack the pan...
There are quite a few people that are wanting to know what parts you used to make that adapter that connects to the filter housing
@@EDGEMOTORS Yes to J Williams question.
Did I hear correct "ATN adapter" was used for the pump ensemble?
Havent been able to Google out what that is.
Id be VERY thankfull for more info!
We have 2000 modell 1,8T Passat that looses its oil pressure.
We have rinsed it with diesel+oil - runnig the engine for some 10-15 minutes at a time and repeating it untill the oil that comes out is clear in colour. But this is not enough.
The Hi-Tack is not available in Europe - nor is the Purple Power degreaser.....
THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT VIDEO!!
10an or 8an
I used this video as a guide to doing my own which ive just done and purs like a kitten! thanks so much for posting id be lost with out it.
Top job. Very in depth. Good stuff.
Thanks for the video! I learned a lot. Amazing how messed up that car was, I would pretty much just junk the engine after seeing the sludge :)
Great instructional video! You work so fast. Thank you.
Good video guys , i had a bad tensioner on my b5 and changed it quite easy with your help hope to see more videos , a steering rack replace one should be useful for b5 , cheers .
Man holy jumpin repair bills!!! You guys are master mechs no doubt! What a job! I watched the entire vid and I am seriously impressed! Outstanding work! The client will be happy that you guys did the job!
Believe it or not, the car is still alive:) closing up on 300k
EDGEMOTORS doesn't surprise me. With you guys doing the work should run for that X2. You guys do the most thorough job I have ever witnessed. Nice to know there are mechanics like you guys!! Keep up the good work!
Where are you guys located??
Great work - learned a lot. Thanks!
Great video! Thank you so much, I think I'm going to end up doing this job myself because I don't trust the mechanic to do it for me. Currently its at the shop with what I believe is this issue but the mechanic believe is coolant related. Already spent $700 plus to have the wrong thing fixed.
Best car tech vids on You tube
man , you are the best!! I wished you lived in my town
Great job Serge... I am big Audi and VW guy.. Did had couple of 2.7t biturbo has same head's like this A4...
I don't have this car, this engine or this problem. But this video was very impressive. very informative and thorough. thanks for sharing.
You welcome, I tried:)
Great idea with the flushing system, thanks for the video.
Respect for your job and your video!
Very good detailed and educating video. thanks
I'm so glad I saw this video. I was going to have a machine engine oil sludge flush done. I know that the shop was not going to put this much time and energy in my car. I would have been sent off with an oil pan full of gunk and something would have clogged then I would be in the same place this car is in. I have a 2002 Saturn Vue that seems to burn oil. You guys did a great job.
the regula oil flushes never work, they make things worst... even though they do desolve and breake off oil sludge, the debrie still end up in the oil pan, and then clog up the rest of the oil system...
no! def not. putting chemicals that disolve oil into oil system for a long time is not a good idea... and if you already have a problem with sludge, the oil flush will not disolve all of the sludge, but will loosen it... and then it will fall down into the oil pan gradually clogging the oil screen.
wow my old ass wants to learn to be a real mechanic. I learned so much from this. great video.
Learned a lot... Thanks guys!
I like how you do all this . good job.
Super informative great job, will save for reference thanks!!!
best video. Now i know exactly what to do. thank you
Wow what skills!
Good job.
Not the best video quality or camera skills, but this video has A LOT of good information. I really appreciate this!
very good video ,very informative ,you guys are the best
Thank you.Great job! RESPECT
I think this work is amazing and on point... Just realized that I probably just drop my audio off at the junkyard...lol.... $4000... Fix is more than my car's worth. And I will cry for like 3o seconds. Then go by bike....
Thanks for the excellent video. I learned a lot.
Great out of the box thinking. I was going to add one suggestion after completing all of this use maybe 1/4 of a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil to the oil. I have seen this stuff work on numerous vehicles on sticking lifters and will help in breaking down the remaining sludge.
Fantastic video, very detailed.
People! change your oil on these 1.8t on time the turbo is next to the block at 1000 deg it is cookin the oil causing the sludge you see in this video , the sludge will ruin the eng if not caught soon , i have bought several of these with this issue or broken belts, VW will break your wallet to repair these cars... these guys are showing you the process to fix it and it's not cheap....
Great post, I've watched all of your videos on the 1.8t. You definitely know what you're talking about, and everyone should listen to you carefully!
chrismawhir trying my best
thank you
Cel or far ? Atleast not 1000 c. And thats not why they coke up, its because of the longer intervals and the low quantity of oil in the engine.
Goddamn you guys saved that engine! Great work.
thumbs up on all the good details and explanation!
Great video. Thanks much! Saved me much time
Just wow. Awesome job!
hey nice work sir! well done. impressive an motivating. thx
Great video lads
Brilliant video hope mine will never require this...
Outstanding. Can you upload a video that demonstrates you testing the sensors? Camshaft position sensor and camshaft actuator solenoid (camshaft adjusting unit). That would be great.
I have Nissan Armada with gobs of sludge in it. The owner must have never changed the oil (173,000 miles). I would love to use this technique to clean the engine.Can I use any fuel pump from a junkyard that was the type that sits in the gas tank?I know you take suction of the solvent mix from the spot that the oil filter would normally screw onto. Where do you connect the discharge line from the pump back into the engine?It was absolutely amazing your knowledge of this vehicle! If only CZcams had others that explain things as thoroughly and as expertly as you do my friend. Fabulous job!
great job man thx for this great video
Great video. I have a 1.8T and i notice that my PCV hoses are clogged,so i must have an sludge build up and Cam chain gasket leak due to oil smell coming thru my vents...
Awesome, detailed video!
Fantastic video guys
Thanks for your concern.
Amazing your a mechanic
Awesome Work
Very nice vidio, I'll pop the cover on my a4 (awa engine) tomorrow as I'm getting p0340 cam position sensor and p0011 camshaft position timing over advanced. the engine is noisy and occasionally lumpy on tick-over (jolts). the engine is clean inside so the tensioner is suspect no. 1 i hope the chain is all right and the parts are cheap (dreaming) otherwise looks easy !!! . Thanks that's saved me stripping the front end
Thanks for a awesome video 👍
Greatest Video ever !!
Great process on getting the sludge out. Another route for those not comfortable with the gas method is to drain 1qt of oil out of the pan and add a quart of transmission fluid to the oil and drive it for about 100 miles, no more than 300 as the trans fluid is full of detergent and should not be left in the engine for too long as old seals will develop leaks.
see, the problem with this method is that, the atf will clean for sure, but might cause damage to moving parts, and seals. and after its done its job all the debree will be sent down to the oil pan where it will clogg the oil pick up screen.. and you still going to have to remove the pan to clean it. also it may not remove all the deposits from the block and head walls and could loosen it, then even if you open oil pan and change the screen later those deposits could fall off and still go to the screen.
so the best way to make sure that the sdludge is fixed for good is to remove the pan and valve cover and clean it out manually.
but on the other hand it wouldt be a bad idea to run atf right before manual clean up.
Absolute pleasure to watch this video! a have the same ANB code engine, and a have the low pressure oil error, even i have change the oil and done flush of it. so , until the engine rich 90 degree it has the tensioner noise , but after on idle the noise is gone, and comes back up when i'm driving. what should i do? many thanks to all!
I need these guys for my audi
Awesome video!
I don't work for them, I'm a mechanic like you who needs chemicals that work. I'm going to try out the products you used as I hate doing a job twice because of shitty products. Thing I love about mechanics is you never stop learning, keep it up bro;)
thanks, ill give it a try...
I managed to clean the oil pan out with gasoline , Scraped the pick up screen with a custom bent piece of very heavy guage stereo wire , then did an engine flush just by running the car. Lots of crap came out , and car was good for a few months but then the problem came back. Took the plunge last weekend cleaned the top end up and replaced the tensioner with a spare I had , droped the subframe and pulled the oil pan. The walls were covered in burnt on oil that was flaking off and droping into the pan , just cloging everything up again. Puting it back together tommorow and crossing fingers. I have wrenched on lots of cars over the years , but watching this great video as I did the job made things go much easier. Have found many other video's and forums that address this problem , most of them are way out to lunch. Edge Motors has posted a very concise way to fix the problem , and in my opinion the only proper procedure. Thanks guys.
Cams , caps , and crank looked in suprisingly good condition. Car has almost 300,000 Kms on it. Pieces of tensioner pads in the pan , but pads were good , which tells me that a previous owner had allready replaced the cam chain tensioner , or perhaps the whole head.
do not clean the screen. REPLACE IT!!! if you clean the screen and then cut the funnel off you will see that the only spot thats clean is in the center where you can see it, and the area around it is still clogged. the screen is only 35+- $ so its not worth taking a chance on that.
What was the fitting that you used to screw onto the oil filter housing? sounded like you said "APM fitting?" Also, how did you run the oil pump, with a drill? My oil pump is chain driven
I like how you found a dead sparkplug (coilpack)
awesome video !
the trans fluid we used about 1qt and the rest is engine oil. and after purple power we used water to clean it out, be very careful with purple power it eats aluminum parts if you leave it there for too long.but all that might not be necessary if you do not have sludge in oil channels.the car in the video was very sludged up. if your sludge is not that bad than you could get away with just purple power the motor and changing the oil pick up. make sure you clean the oil supply line for the turbo
what gasket maker do you guys use
Hi what an awesome video you have made. Quality of work is 2nd to none, you inspire me to be as good as you once im a fully qualified technician. Hoping you could help with a problem i have on my 2002 a3 1.8t quattro, it has covered 130,000 miles. I bought this car with a knackered turbo (turbine shaft was in 3pieces, owner had overfilled the engine oil, not sure if that caused the turbo to go) When running on idle it is blowing oil smoke from the exhaust (has a blue haze and has that unmistakeable smell) seems to be none whatsoever underload on/off bost. A dry compression test is giving me 9bar on all 4 cylinders, not ideal but within spec, not done a wet test yet. Oil pressure is spot on. I have replaced the valve stem seals as a couple had came off the valve guides ( with the head in situ, what a job that was ! ) I have also fitted a brand new turbo to it. I have removed the original pcv system due to it being a maze of burst hoses etc and made my own (just a simple t-piece connecting the block breather to the cam cover breather then to the turbo inlet pipe). Hose and t-piece have an ID of 19mm so no flow problems there. Im running it on Mobil 5w-40 fully synthetic. Im thinking the oil control rings may be gummed up, or possibly the rings altogether are needing replaced due to the lowish compression. Any help and/or suggestions with this would be great, thanks in advance. I wish you the best for 2015, keep them great videos coming also.
Michael Yeo so,let me get it straight... you only see smoke under load, not on idle or light load... does it smoke under load for couple of seconds right after deceleration ???
No it only smokes on idle. I cant see any smoke on any other operating conditions. Im thinking the rings are gone since the compression is pretty low, as oil getting by the oil control rings would help the compression rings do their job, right ? I done a wet compression test and theres no change in compression from the dry test. All 4 piston crowns were damp on removal of the spark plugs so oil is definately getting in their somehow.
Thanks for the informative video. There is an oil pan gasket which needs no additional silicon sealing, So no silicone would get lost in the the engine : P/N = ELRING 163.520
Oil pan gasket only came on early 1.8t, the part number you provided is from those engines. Anything after 2001, the block is different shape and this gasket will not work...
Ps if you don’t put the gasket in on the early 1.8t you most likely crack the oil pan...
Awesome video
Yea this sounds like my car, I need to change mine soon.
Nice job guy's I too hate when when they put that red or blue silicone and a lot of it too I seen it done at a vw dealer on a BEW engine I was able to replace the main and connecting rods with out removing the crank the crank was ok but some of them were not that good the car still runs today and like 2 years ago I never seen that technique before cleaning with a electric pump and diesel fuel etc I know that the vw and audi dealer has a kit for that but I think the car is running during that cleaning procedure.
Dear god... how much did this cost the customer?!? Great job; very thorough and professional!
Chance Gonzalez I owned a Murano once... you need a new transmission. CVT transaxles are non-serviceable by anyone but a specialized shop.
Hey, I subscribe to your channel...
Wery wery nice copmpleet job done!
Muy buen video excelente me ayudo mucho
proper job, nice!
Nice work
Fantastic well done video! Helped me a LOT ! I have the head off for valve damage, (broken timing belt) My question is: Would you put the head back on BEFORE you put the cams in just to make sure the new valves dont get bent or do you go ahead and put the cams in and be extra careful when installing the head?
De inicio a fin interesanteFelicitaciones
Brilliant guys like your video.
thank you, we trying....:)
Very good
Excellent.
Great video. I've subscribed!
Sorry I forgot to say you I'm from Mexico. I can not take my car up there. Also I like the mechanics of these cars. :) I hope that you could help me about my problem.
Oh and by the way , I owned a turbo charged Renault for many years. The mechanics at a local turbocharger and Diesel shop told me 30 years ago to add 1 quart of ATF with every oil change to fight sludge and keep the Oil ports and bearings in the turbo clean. When my engine finally died from an unrelated problem , at 350,000 Km , I took it apart and was amazed at how clean everything was. I use 1 Quart / Liter of ATF with every oil change , on every vehicle I drive.
