- Welcome to another video.
This time the customer contacted us before he actually purchased this car and after some conversations he did buy it. I think it is an absolute bargain for RS4 with unknown faults. Unfortunately the information given to the owner was not 100% accurate and even before I put it on the ramp I found out that the engine wont turn a bit ... So the investigation began... more in the video
thanks for watching If you want to get in touch with us check our website

This is FAR from boring...the investigation was spot on...still ongoing, but to have a spark plug break like that, I've never seen that...guessing the rest of the plug is either melted or was in the pump...I'm looking forward to the next instalment of this. Remember, you don't have to fix anything to make this content interesting; that's what you do, and you're a master at it. It's the knowledge and plan of investigation that is intriguing and leads to a diagnosis that many wouldn't even think of doing. Please, keep doing what you're doing regarding the diagnosis and analysis...yes, enjoy the fixing aspect, but the vast knowledge you have can't be bought. This is incredible talent mate. It really is. That's why I come to you when seeking advice or to get my issues with my car sorted and I've been to you more than once and you've resolved everything for me, over and above the so-called "specialists". They don't compare.
Always happy seeing a new video from this channel!
Hey guys thanks for the videos, thanks to them i was able to do the timing chains on my 3.0 tfsi 2010 S5, first chain replacement at 235k km and 13 years of age, pretty good replacement interval :D , i dunno why im sharing but i just wanna let u know ur videos help ppl everywhere. Thanks from Serbia!
Amazing video lad !! As an owner of a 2014 Rs5 I love watching and seeing and also stressing about what can go wrong about my car 😂
i can relate to the last part of your sentence 🤣
Certainly not boring. Always interesting to see you go through the diagnosis process. Another expensive rebuild coming up I would reckon.
This channel saved me so much $$$$$.
I bought one a couple months ago with 71k miles for £25k, reduced from £28k but with the full RS performance exhuast, DRC and dynamic steering. A bit of a bargain as its immaculate and running well.
Infact i probably need to bring it to Vag Technic for a carbon clean and full service.
Would love to see that
You won’t be disappointed with the results. He’s a genius. And I really mean it. He knows his stuff mate. You won’t go wrong and the carbon clean will make the difference apparent.
I've recently picked up a very minor damaged category S for £10k, 60k miles very clean apart from the panel damage. Will look to get it walnut blasted too 😁
I am wondering if the gearbox oil was changed.
@@tomaszek8888 Mines had 3 gearbox services in its life. It's due it's 4th.
Not Boring at all, great to see how you tackle each engine in its own way, I’ve got no intention of ever stripping an engine, but still love seeing the process👏👏
Would like you guys to have a look at my B6 S4 cab at some point in the near future👍
Great video as always. At £10k, I think I would rather find a really nice example in perfect working order and a good history because once you throw in a full suspension rebuild, subframe repair, plus a few other things (as always happens) the cost could be heading into the ball park of a really nice example, maybe exceeding it.
Not exactly, most of the time this cars have all the same issues, better buy one to renew all and you can drive a few years without worrying anything, if you buy a "good one" you get it all within one year.
Won’t be perfect. Would have to do some work on it. Not everyone is as diligent in keeping bc their car running at its best all the time. Takes effort. Knowledge. And a damn good mechanic!!!
@@lifeslooker my s4 is 😉
But this Rs4 suffering from getting some parts anymore.
@@Rol1Co 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not boring at all ...... I can listen to you all day....😊
I'm shocked you don't get bored of doing the same engines.
But you are a genius on Audi cars 👍👍
Nothing is ever boring from your workshop
Always love watching your videos. Always learing something and I love how thorough you are. Oh, and you need a new smoke alarm, I can hear it beeping 😂
Would love to get any RS4 here in US, but not being able to get replacement parts or a mechanic to bring it to sounds pretty scary.
Swap in a RS5 engine. Someone actually did it
Great video, love the context and always informative can’t wait to see the 2nd one on this RS4 well done 👍
Yet another great video😂😂enjoyed it very much.. excellent diagnosis process!!
That’s crazy, the same thing happened to my rs4 in cylinder 5, snapped Intake valve, but the valve stem and springs were in place just the bottom part came off. I was at 8000rpm on a pull when it happened and I think the valve jammed inside the guide.
I would like to know your opinion on a problem I have with the rebuild engine, I’m currently breaking it in and after warming the engine up at idle I occasionally get G301 incorrect correlation and G61 Knock sensor 1 signal to low. The engine used to shake at idle but now it doesn’t anymore and the error comes up less frequently, I have so far driven about 250km on the engine. I have swapped oil solenoid valves and cam sensor to no major improvements, other the engine running better with time.
Nice video and fast damage finding.
As I understand, this problem often has on this motor.
Will its about time !! I thought you guys across the pond only drink tea ? Love coffee
A lot of corrosion underneath cars like that could also mean if the car is owned by someone who lives near a seaside or a coastal line, the sea salt, in the air can corrode the car pretty bad underneath
Audi's powder coating is **** poor. This would have been a £60k+ car new. Lanogard or something can go some way to protect.
I have an RS5. Is there anything I can do to check for things like this? Or any other preventative things I can do to stop failures?
I want to know the same thing!
Change the battery in your smoke alarm! 😀
😂 I noticed that too!
Hello from Virginia, USA. Getting code P0018 on my 2013 B8.5 S4 (88.000 miles) I have replaced all the cam and crank sensors and it is still there. Do you suggest replacing the upper timing tensioners next? Any help is appreciated.
It’s always cylinder 5 on these and the rs6’s, I’ve seen this happen when people free rev the engine to redline. Sort of like the valves bounce and snap the valve springs? Really weird.
It’s like buying a grenade that someone’s pulled the pin on…. Just a matter of time before the trigger gets released. Then BOOM😱😱
My current Audi is the last ill ever own,the quality just isnt good enough
I said same about the BMW’s. I don’t think it changes just by changing manufacturer. The BMW’s I was becoming really good at fixing after doing a few, now becoming hood at Audi’s. But at least BMW never had timing chain issues and not located between engine & trans.
@@thomaslefler5242 LOL
Buy a Lexus, the reliability is beyond belief and that’s with over 400 Hp👌
Can I swap an S4 engine into an rs4? I don't really like the 4.2 V8 but I love the RS4 looks
6:55 EXACTLY the level of antirust coating is appalling Audi should do much better.
On my audi A7 the corrossion on undercarriage looks 3x worst then on that RS4 :(
my 2009 a4 avant has 360.000 km and looks almost like new under, almost 9 rust just dirt, is it luck or did they change something?
great video .. bad news for the owner but not as bad as it could be ,,, yet.
You're basically the grim reaper on these cars! 😢
Хорошая погода 👍 Интересно посмотреть и узнать причину. Уважаемые коллеги, делаем ставки 😊.
Wish they shipped those out to the states😢
Don’t understand why some RS models have the option for the black headliner
While im not taking audi's side with the rush, its also where you live.
Because my 40 year old audi has zero rush.
Does anyone know if these issues are likely caused by poor maintenance and over driving (eg. Not waiting until the car gets up to temperature before revving it out)?
I’ve got a 2014 rs4 with 68k miles. Full main dealer history and all the extra bits done at the right time. I never give it more than 3.5k revs until it’s up to temp. These videos are somewhat scary so if anyone knows if I should be doing preventative work or if what I’m doing already is likely to keep the engine running well that would be very good to know! Cheers
HARD to say after 8-10 years . But we stripped down few heads and the valve springs just don’t like the 8k rpm . Some of them were lower then others
is it a vag problem or related to all germans?
I think this is the car left on the side of the road for years, saw it on facey?
Which engine oil do you put in your TDI cars and they are safe enough or good enough? Is the normal engine oil like "Full synthetic engine oil, e,g, Mobile-1 5W-30 with small stamp at bottom corner "for European Cars" is good enough? Or for these TDI engine we have to have go with those special LiquiMoly brands like which are made only for diesel engines?
We use genuine oil for TDI mostly 5w30
When you have a seized engine you really wonna try to turn it without the serpentine belt. You'd be surprised how many engines get written off as seized simply due to seized alternator or other accessories.
Theres only alternator on this
Super informative
Yay,been waiting for next vid 😊
Top job for a TOP MAN
My question is, how did the spark plug get destroyed?
snapped valve head flying around possibly, we all on hot bricks now waiting for part 2 😁
Buying RS4 for under £10k and than needing another £15k to fix it. 😆
I like the wat you diagnose and fix the problem but sadly not happy with the amount you charge to repair the car. I am sure it will be mich cheaper to repair from the main dealer
😂 thats why it came from the dealer to us . Because we charge more
Nice car. Run!
good work💪
£10k or £10?
With all that rust you'd think it was a b5
I did transmission oil and filter change job for 2016 A7 with TDI engine. I filled the oil without pump, using long break hose and funnel, channeling from engine bay.
After leveling the car I started to fill the pan but only after 2.75 quarts it started spilling out from fill plug (means its filled).
It gave me doubts that only 2.75 quarts, as I was expecting 4 to 6 at least?
I just finished this job and haven't started the car yet because of this situation if it is an abnormal situation. I will start when I will feel comfortable.
Please share your experience with 2016 TDI A7 if you had any. Is it normal and I should go ahead and start the car and it will take more (4 to 5 quarts) after?
Need to be Filled while the engine is running
@@VAGTechnic My transmission will remain safe while I am filling and transmission oil is going low to high?
search up the ZF maintenance manuals.. transmission oil needs to be at a specific temperature in order to fill up completely when replacing
Deal including shipping and lets go 😂😂💪
love from malaysia
Surprised there is so much rust on a car of that age. Maybe it lived near the sea?
RS4 after SpongeBob
Not boring, trouble shooting is always interesting.
Absolute money pit these engines are totally unreliable 👎
Delicious espresso coffee
Yet again some poor sod has paid audi for the most shallow of diagnosis. It was quite clear that the main dealer has done nothing there except release a generic statement.....again.
👍👍👍
I thought audis were reliable until i watched your videos.
A lot of people say that...but I've got a 22 year old A4 with over 200k miles and a 17 year old TT with 120k and both run fine. How many 22 year old fords, Peugeot, vauxhal etc do you see on the road these days.
Also got a a3 tfsi quattro 156k 17 years old its also been running stage 2+ remap last 3 years zero issues, its all about the maintenance
Has that been driven into sea water --- thats not right for a 7 year old car to much rust !
U Buy it ./ U Get What U Get ? i have a RS 4 B7
Damn these audis are bad i got 300 000 on my 2012 merc and theres literally no rust under and i live in finland
No salt (?)
@@VAGTechnic we salt roads here every winter it get really cold and snowy
@@VAGTechnic my car was from germany maybe it affects it was in warm place half of its life
It's worth more than 10k in bits!!!
Bore scope
Just bring it to Poland to fix 😉
And never see it again.
Scary.
Electrical problem.
Valve hit the spark plug, no spark.
17k😳
Break it for parts, its an 8 year old car.
Chocolate Audi .. ummmmmmmmm
I fix them myself...
Those quickie review is anoying
Their cars are designed in North Korea. Cheap
Hey mate
Don't laugh at me too hard but
Alibaba has 2nd hand engines and components.
And their freight costs is not too bad... and I'm in Australia
If it did the cats, just decat it. Way better anyway :)
In the UK cars have to pass MOT every year. Removed cat’s would be picked up in emissions tests I would expect. Then you would have a lot of explaining to do.
@@chrispy104k True, but mines decat and passes :)
