I am parting out a 4.2L V8 out of a 2006 A8 BGK engine code, the motor had about 120k on it before it was pulled. I have just about all of the parts you might need. I am making a table out of the block and I don't want any excess weight, so I need to get rid of all excess parts. If you need certain parts feel free to let me know.

You can't leave us hanging like that... what happened to the motor?

Well the bad new first, a guy took it to the Audi dealer here in town and had the timing chain tensioner for the cams replaced, and a few thousand miles later messed up the entire drivers side of the motor. But to what degree I don't know yet, I just got it last week, and have not had the time to finish disassembling it. I am going out on a limb here and going to say the passenger side is ok, but don't know for sure. The nice thing is that it looks like the timing belt was just changed not long before this happened so all of the pulleys and tensioners are maybe only a few thousand miles old. Hopefully that answer your question, if you need more info I will be glad to share.

Haha, love this. In for pics!

Ouch. Hope this isn't a sign for how things will go for the later FSI rear timing chain engines. This will send many of them to the wholesalers or junk yard early.

Didn't OP say that timing belt was just changed?

dvs_dave

He mentions timing chain and it being an '06. He then mentions a timing belt.....take your pick

Well there is a timing belt on the motor, but there is a chain that runs the cams, there is one on the drivers side in the front of the motor, and one on the passenger side in the is in the rear. I don't know much about these types of motors, so like you said take you pick. My motor that I know about is the I5...lol. I know for a fact that the problem was when the Audi dealer replaced the chain tensioner on the chain on the drivers side cam, but other than that I haven't got the motor torn part all the way. If you want anymore info let me know.

Ok got it. As I thought it's one of the newer FSI engines with the timing chain at the back of the engine. The belt at the front is not a timing belt, rather just an accessory drive.

If you look at this link it has both a timing belt and a timing chain, Items #21 & 22. Like I said both I don't know much about these motors, other than what I see online and what I have taken apart.
