Audi A3 2.0 FSi BWA 2007 - Very noisy on tick over - Fixed #

Posted by Steven Sims on May 5, 2016, 11:03 am

Year of Manufacture *: 2007
Engine Size and Code *: 2000 fsi BWA
( Optional ) Scanner Used: vcds
( Optional) Fault Codes: none

Hello everyone, just looking for a bit of info on this one,
Audi A3 2.0 fsi BWA engine, quite noisey on tick over, coming from the gearbox size of the head where the chain is,
understand that the chain tensioner plastic head brakes off or wears away and then you get the noises,
is it just a case of new tensioner and chain, gasket etc, or does it do damaged to the teath on the sprockets, also does the cam adjuster need replacing?
just one last thing does this fault have bearing on the oil being supplied to the cam shafts at all?

Many Many thanks steve

Hello Steve, we did one a month or two ago. I don't believe we changed the sprockets but we did buy the special tool to lock the camshafts. A word of warning (speaking from experience) when you remove the cover you will see a short shaft with three oil rings on it (they look like small plastic piston rings). If they happen to be split (as one on ours was) it will fall off as you remove the cover & in our case cause a over advanced camshaft fault. Best to replace them.

Hi Alan,
I didn't think these rings were available seperately, where did get them from?
