Big thumbs up I had the same problem had no idea what it was thanks a million times

I think you are a moron for your dumb statements. Make cars that can go as long as German cars, moron. Without squeaking, alright/!

I agree they didn't have to engineer these cars to such extremes!!!

At least the timing belt is in the front I have a 4.2 and the timing chain(s) are in the back whole engine out to fix a broken guide, clever.

Your commentary are the truest words ever spoken about this engine

Thanks for you post... I did mine. it was a pain... You were a big help. I was well prepared w/ o-rings and extra bolts. like you I used some hylomar. You are right there no need for them to use the shallow allen bolts. You know the Pateon 4.2 engine. They use regular triple square bolts. Regular allen bolts ok but hex bolts not ok. Hex bolts are too big.

Based on your experience, can replace the shallow allen bolts with the regular height allen bolts ?

Great vid bitch of a job did mine with engine out only because I've done gearbox replacement. Would not attempt with engine in

I have the same system. Im trying to use it as a back up generator for my house, but I need some parts to make the cord ends.

Where can I find a TM for this?

Hey great video 👍 I will be doing this soon & was wonder if any one knew where I could find the tighting torques for the timing belt rollers, tensioners, pulleys etc? I've looked every online & can't find persiffic bcy engine. Any help would be much appreciated.

пиздец ты проблемный... это просто алюминьвая подвескамауди

I wanted to buy an audi s6 c5 but there's oil in the coolant reservoir but oil dipstick was fine , no water in the engine!!

Is this what causes the oil to mix with coolant reservoir?

Hey ,I just pick up a 28kw Where did you get you power cord ?

Totally agree with your comment that Germans are morons! I DIY my Japanese car but never would I attempt a German luxury repair; just too unfriendly and parts are pricey too!

awesome video very well done speaking

So this engine design is just for Audi Stealerships/service centers to make buku amounts of cash huh? This is absolutely ludicrous for something as simple as a thermostat. Over engineered & no performance benefit for the owners! Ingenious??

Lol your commentary is perfect. I'm dealing with the dreaded plastic fitting leaking coolant from that thing right now so this helped me thanks man

you're awesome.....just running into same stuff just did the oil cooler wtf.....now still got a timing issue changed out both cam position sensors still same...code..about to order timing belt tensioner pulley kit with water pump.and thermostat....ect....would you consider helping install the kit.....how much would you charge me......let me know Thank you

Lol I should do a video of how easy it is with the engine out...

hay whats up man. Do you think that installing an after market trans cooler (Hayden or Tru-Cool) instead of the original OEM one? I got an Audi A8 2005 .. I believe that its not providing adequate cooling to the trans .. is it possible (placement and fitting) to install an aftermarket trans cooler?

Coming from someone who has worked in garages and dealerships for a number of years, some of your comments made my day because I know exactly where you're coming from.

Eye am sofa king wee Tod Ed... say it slowly

The Germans did it for 4 reasons 1. they wanted to protect the Thermostat and keep it out of the elements which is why they go bad. 2. they make everything else easy to get to except the theromstat. 3. Germans dont want you to fix it yourself its an 85 thousand dollar car. they want you to come in to there shop so they can make money. 4. Germans think of everything except with electronics.

Got a 2002 A6 and I refused to fool with that damn thermostat. I agree that is the DUMBEST DAMN place to put a thermostat.

YeSir...

I agree that getting it to the service position wasn't bad, but the thermostat behind the timing belt? That stunk. I need to put my video up on servicing the oil cooler. complete BS!

Are you calling them horrible engineers for having to put the car in service position for the timing service? You can take off the whole front end in like 20 minutes and all the wiring and hoses are able to extend. I wouldn't call that horrible engineering. Not to mention this service only has to be performed about every 90k miles. Edit: I just worked on another one of these. I hate them. Especially the design of the oil cooler block on the D3 A8. I think they changed the design from the D2 so that you would be more inclined to pay Audi.

Audi is one of the best all weather vehicles

They weren't idiots. They did it on purpose. In the early 90's Audi/VW began a corporate engineering objective to bring more and more service business to the dealership. They do things in the design, to prohibit owners and small businesses from performing service on the cars.
