Thank you for the clear video without any time wasting. Exactly what I needed to know.
You are welcome. I appreciate that 🙏.
❤ this video is awesome. To learn how to undo the coil wires and coolant tube without making a mess, search for q5 spark plug change 2012 v6, AND coil wires Audi (the later video is short and demoed on a VW. Camera work is poor but watch through the end and you’ll get it.)
Thank you for the compliment 🙏. And yes, the video you referred to is not very clear on how the removal process is done.
I don’t recommend a DIY use power tools on their car. Too easy to cross thread. And you need to pay attention to the torque so you don’t break the treads in you engine, so look that up before tightening.
The other caution is that not everything is shown in this video:
- removing the plastic rivets is a separate skill and there are videos on that alone.
- the mechanic cut the scene for popping off the coil wires. Like the plastic rivets, this too is another skill with RUclips videos on the right way to do that without breaking you coil couplers. (It’s tricky.)
- he didn’t show how he cleaned up the valve cover. I suggest use a putty knife to get the old seal off.
- he didn’t show how to get the new seal seated (and adhered) to the valve cover. I’m not sure on this, in the old days we used a gasket sealant on the cover to stick the cover and gasket together so that things hang together when the cover is turned upside down. We also put sealant on the gasket’s surface that meets the engine. You’ll need to look into this as I don’t know the modern way. (When working on the second cover, I can now see he doesn’t use any sealant so maybe the cover hangs there by friction with the screws.)
The rest of the video looked great.
I love the video but I was wondering how hard was it to get to that bolt in the back next to the coolant tank and what tool was that you used?
Nice job!!
I appreciate that. Thank you for taking your time to watch.
What is torque on valve cover bolts? Thx
Its typically around 10-12(Nm)
