Help me please timing belt gets loose 00 audi s4 NY

[kingofqueenz788]

Hey my name is joe and iv having some issues with my 2000 audi s4 i recently replaced my timing belt. I drove the car about 3000 miles fine it was running really at top notch. recently i heard some chatter inside the timing belt casing so i took it all apart looked and saw my belt loose i took everthing off and replaced the whole kit bec i thought it was a faulty timingbelt kit. I was wondering if the pullys were not on rite torkspecs would this happen? would the belt be getting loose it very weird bec when i loosen the timingbelt the pullys are good and tight. for some reason i put the bar back on and make sure the carts in timing and it is but when its loose i hear like valve tick. but if i put it back again making it tight it goes away i know the motor didnt skip timing! can anyone give me some insight about my problem please i will not keep taking my front end off and tighting my belt. I also purchased 3 hydraulic tentioners, and went and tried all of them and it still has the same problem! Let me add that the week b4 i got a apr chip and threw a o2 code so they put the test pipe application in the ecu then and i have tuned headers and piggies and 2 stock cats no resignator and a high flow muffler i think apr put the test pipe application on my car.

i had the exact same thing happen. i had ecs's kit. i bought 4 tensioners and 2 or 3 tensioner rollers, and re-did it about 6 times. on the last try, i bought the pure ms kit, and the belt comparison was insane. the ecs belt was skinnier and shorter, and the pure ms one (oem) was huge and beefy. the other different thing i replaced that last time was the arm that puts tension on the belt from the tensioner. so the only advice i can give is get the pure ms kit and replace the belt and the arm.

i see the pure motor sports website, is this kit all oem parts like i would get at the audi dealer and also has anyone used the company fcp grotton timing belt kit for our cars because this kit is faulty and fucked me for a long time now.

Doesn't sound like you've tensioned the belt correctly. You need to pop the cam gear sprockets off (with the cam bar on), apply additional torque to the hydraulic tensioner to tighten the belt, then retighten the cam gear sprockets. The belt will then be tensioned evenly throughout. This step is critical, and should NOT be skipped during belt replacement.

Its probably the tensioner. All of the rollers etc should be replaced along with the waterpump also. There is no reason even doing the timing belt if you don't replace all the important small bits.

KingofQueenz,

I think that Blacks4TT is correct, I posted a few vids of what noise I am starting to hear coming from my engine as well. My car runs and idles great, but after driving for a few minutes, I start to hear that Diesel sound. I definitely think it's the timing belt flapping ever so slightly.

here are some vids to compare your sound too.

So what youre saying is that your timing belt fell off?? That sucks big time man. Blau parts has really good t-belt kits. I had a ECS t-belt kit on my Passat and no problems for over 3 years now.
