Seized Audi A6 C6 3.0 TFSI Engine Removal | Step by Step Guide on Removing the Engine Without a Lift
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 дек 2023
- Bought this 09 Audi A6 with a seized 3.0T engine under the guise that it just needed a starter or an access module to activate it. The previous owner replaced the starter and still nothing when turning the key over. Turns out the engine was seized and that's why the starter wouldn't rotate the engine.
In this video I will be showing you how to remove a seized Audi A6 C6 3.0 Engine. When these motors are seized you HAVE to pull the torque converter with them, there is no other option. So, unless you have a lift, the whole front end needs to be removed for access.
What's even worse is the torque converter is nearly impossible to remove from this seized engine. So, in the next video I'll show you how I had to cut the engine apart to get the torque converter off.
This will be a 3-part series consisting of a removal video, a teardown video, and finally a reinstallation video with a freshened up used engine.
As always, here is a full list of tools needed for the job.

* Torx Sockets - amzn.to/4amNmU0
* Triple square Sockets - amzn.to/41m7zFy
* 7 Pc. Hook & Pick Set - amzn.to/3GF457J
* Audi Crank Turning Tool - amzn.to/46X5X6n
* 13mm X-Core Socket - amzn.to/47XiDeE

Love the quote “If you don’t what triple squares are, Audi is gonna make you learn”. I got educated on my very first repair when I had to replace the front wheel bearings.
My very first time coming across a triple square many years ago I tried to use a torx bit to remove it due to not having the right triple square. It stripped the bolt and made a 1 hour job a 4 hour job plus more tools. You only make that mistake once😅
Thanks for watching🫡
Very informative video.. I'm pulling my engine out next week 💯
Will be trying this tomorrow 🙏🙏first audi engine removal as well,, Left u some money for that beer bro ,thank you 🙏🙏🔥🔥💯💯😂😂
Ay! That's dope @edgaravila5778 I appreciate you! Hope it goes smoothly for you, and I'll grab a beer on you with that $5🫡
Really good stuff. I dont have a 3.0, but I've pulled many an Audi engine (usually 2.0 FSI and 2.7) and sometimes its just nice to watch someone else do it.
Im doing it right now,, watching again for extra tips since i forgat,,BUT NEW TIPS ,,, INSTEAD OF BATTELING THE Exhaust WITH THE 3 BOLTS,,remove it from the engine heads,,12 mm bolts,, dont disconect the power steering or the ac compressor,,just unplug the lines,, nd that gives u alot of room nd saves time 🙏🙏but thank u again 🙏🙏💯💯
@edgaravila5778 no, please dont disconnect the AC lines unless all your FREON is drained. I kept mine in the system. It's toxic and not legal to let leak out on your own.
Removing the headers is also much more time consuming then removing the 3 bolts on the back of the exhaust in my opinion. There is a lot more bolts on the headers. Makes for a harder install as well
Thank you for documenting all this on YT Cole. I have the 3.0T platform and am very grateful for your work and you putting this content out!
Appreciate the comment @aguthrie91 🫡
Hopefully I'll have a new used engine in the next few weeks to continue the rebuild. I'm ready for part 3!
Bro this is so fucken great thank you I know the basics like suspension and mostly all maintenance and stuff bout cars but taking an engine is wat I been wanting to learn and not having money to go to college this is amazing bro keep making videos for all the people tht learn by watching people work
Thanks for the comment bro, much appreciated! Just know anyone can do it with a little patience, the right tools and the right videos. I was never able to afford mechanic work in my early years so I had to learn the hard way. Also never went to school for this. Just like to help others, thanks again for watching🫡
Thanks you for sharing, your videos are incredible informative, i own a Q7 and your vides convinced me to keep serving it at my local Audi dealership, and pray i never have to do this
awesome cant wait for 2 and 3. very helpful
Thanks for sharing your content it has been very helpful 👍
Appreciate the comment thank you!🫡
Excellent work!
Much appreciated 🫡
GREAT VIDEO.! KEEP UP THE GREAT CONTENT.!
Appreciate the comment!🫡
Thanks!
Awesome video bro. I think these engines crap out because of the supercharger intercooler bricks leaking and locking up the motor. Also I'm hearing a lot about leaking injectors these days
Really good points. I'm going to change the supercharger bricks now. I've also heard of the high-pressure fuel pump leaking too much gas into the oil. I also think people just go too long without oil changes. I've seen people wait 10-12k on oil changes which blows my mind. Appreciate your comment, thank you🫡
Thank you but can you install a catch can on a 3.0T 4L audi , Am trying to install one but I can figure it out yet becsuse the two intake valvel covers thanks again.
You can. Just takes a little more work and a few T connectors and tubing. I'm going to try to make a custom one pretty soon myself for the 3.0
I just stumbled upon your videos and they’re awesome. How much do you charge on average for carbon clean on the 4.2? I’m looking around and prices fluctuate a lot.
@t-rav206 I do the 4.2 for about $600 usually. Appreciate the comment, I'm located in Las Vegas if you ever need help🫡
I have a 4.2 carbon cleaning video on my page too
Hey man, I’m working on my 2010 A6 with the 3.0, can you tell me what size triple square socket that idler pulley you had to take off was? I can’t seem to get it with a 10 or an 8.
Should be m12 if I remember right
Hey man, if my engine is not siezed. Am i able to pull the engine without the torque converter attached? If so, how is that achieved?
@franksis1 yes, you can remove it without the converter. Once you remove the starter, there will be an access hole where the starter went to get to the bolts. You have to then turn the engine until you see 1 of 3 bolts exposed through that hole. Then you have to break each one free. This can be challenging at the angle provided. You will also need this STUBBY triple square socket set. All the other ones are too big and you'll never have enough room. - amzn.to/48sH0k6
Thank you! Im in the middle of this now. Thank you for making this video! You wouldn't happen to have a video on replacing the timing chains would you?
@franksls1 no, just the upper tensioners. There should be a few other videos out there on the timing for this engine. Also, here is a free resource- charm.li
That gives free service manuals for most vehicles
