Do you know how to Check 2.0T TSI Timing Chain Tensioner. If you drive an 2.0t TSI Audi or VW you may have timing chain tensioner issues. Checking the timing chain tensioner is an EASY DIY! Today I will show you how to check for the older timing chain tensioner that will need to be replaced.
The Touareg WAS one of the worst VWs when launched. Expensive to buy, common VW electrical issues, And tons of other common VW issues. Now you can buy a cheap Touareg and make it an off road monster. I bought this cheap VW touareg and here are all the common VW Touareg issues mine has. Some of the Touareg issues we will fix, other not so much LOL
Thanks to @Deutscheautoparts for some of that sweet off-road footage.

Behind The Wrench ~ Paul Deutsche Auto Parts ~ Episode 22
For full show notes, visit the blog at
This is an interview series I started very early in the blog's life. It was a way to get to know some of the other parts of the auto industry. Well due to my lack of time, I had to put that series on hold. It took a lot of time to format the interviews so they were easy to read. Well, I think I figured out a way to bring this back, and in video form.
Today we get to sit down with Paul owner of http://www.deutscheautoparts.com/ They are VW and Audi parts specialist with a huge selection of everything VW/Audi. We get to learn a little more about Paul and his VW background.

Why I Answer Car Questions with "It Depends". I got a comment on a video a while back about me answering your automotive questions with "It depends". There is rarely a cut and dry answer to any automotive question. Each situation with a car is different. So we have to use some critical thinking to figure out what the best course of action is.

Why would I teach people what normally makes me money? Is it bad for auto mechanics to teach people how to fix their own cars? Will it take money away from the techs? Today on the show, I talk about how DIY videos can actually HELP dealerships and individual techs.

In this dream shop build video, we pour the upgraded concrete floor 5,000PSI 6" deep. We not frame the walls, complete the roof, get the garage sink roughed in. Also we added a drain in the floor to wash cars all year around. WHICH IS AWESOME! I also address a number of questions you guys had about the build and what we are doing about the crazy going on right now.

Today's automotive podcast comes on the heels of a show I did last week called "Thoughts on Techs Moving Away From Dealerships ~ Episode 38". I realized that I really hit a nerve with a lot of you. To me that was both a good and bad thing. I also owe you an apology. I talked all about some things that are wrong, but offered no solutions. So today we are talking all solutions.
For full show notes, visit the blog at; http://goo.gl/J1jK0R
Today on the Automotive podcast we look at:
Ways to "get out of the funk"
Shelf all the negative BS, at least for this show.
List of things that are good or great about the job
My list of great things about my job
Setting small goals and rewards
Setting bigger goals and rewards
Focusing on YOU
Change up your space
You care more than anyone else, use that to your advantage.
and more
