I Wasted Money Restoring This Abandoned Audi… | Episode 3

In this video, I continue restoring a 2001 Audi A4 1.8T. I thought the problem was in the engine… but I was wrong. After a long time trying to diagnose the issue, I couldn’t figure out the cause. So I decided to remove the valve cover — and that’s when things became clearer. I chose to replace the timing components, but earlier I didn’t have all the parts to finish the job. Now that I finally have everything, I continue the work and show the new problems that came up. In this episode: – timing chain and timing alignment check and replacement – vacuum system diagnostics – electrical troubleshooting – fixing power window issues – problems caused by water inside the car The car still doesn’t run the way it should, and I’m continuing to search for the cause of power loss.
