2011 Audi B8 cranks but won't start
Hi all! I have 2011 B8. A few days ago I filled up my tank and as I was leaving the gas station the car started shaking alot and felt like it wanted to stall. I pulled into a spot, turned off the car, and tried to restart. It only cranked but did not start. It gave P0016 and misfire codes on all 4 banks. Got it towed to a local mechanic and they confirmed that the timing chain has jumped. Got it towed home. I changed the timing chain and put in a new version tensioner. Tried to start it up and still just cranking and no start. Any help would be great!

Thanks jagtoes for the quick response. When the car was at the mechanic they claimed they did a compression test and a free leak down test and both were satisfactory. I forgot to mention that I no longer hear the fuel pump priming when I open the door or put in the key. This noise was very distinctive before and I dont hear it anymore since the original stall. Could this be the issue? How can I test the pump?

The only code that is present is p0016. I just replaced both cam and crankshaft sensors about 2 months ago. Would they have failed so soon?

I replaced the the camshaft and crankshaft sensors and put in new spark plugs. The car still will not start. It cranks but will not start. I have spark, air, compression, and fuel. What could be wrong? Please help!!

P0016 is not a sensor failed so much as the correlation of the crank and cam. If you've done the chain job and still have a P0016, then I would imagine you're not done with the chain job. The car is not satisfied with the results.
If you don't hear the pump priming, check the fuses. Additionally, www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll0GTBzv0dI

If there's no codes and you have the four ingredients, I am not sure.

Do your own compression check. I am skeptical of their claim to have checked compression with a jumped chain. Also, did you see that the chain had jumped? How many teeth was it off?
