Audi RS4 B7 - 4.2 V8 - Starter Motor change DIY. How to change starter motor on Audi RS4

After experiencing starting issues in my Audi RS4 B7, i decided not to faff around with relays and diagnosing wiring issues, etc. and go straight for Starter Motor change. This is a quick DIY tutorial. With all the right tools and about 3-5h you can do it on your drive.

Nice one mate good to know when mine goes good vid

[@RuskiWeldFab]

If this video helps at least one other person I would be happy!

[@rickc1798]

Thankyou, interesting for the future if mine fails. You say to replace the bolts on the engine mount

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Yes you must replace those bolts. Contact main dealer. Not very expensive

[@maccodj]

3.2 fsi. Needs new starter motor...I'm funked, last time I needed to replace a light bulb on the rear, I had to take apart half car. Not to say about my front ballast...

[@RuskiWeldFab]

yep that VW group for you...

[@daveharris9346]

Great video

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Thanks man! I hope someone will find it useful

[@Andrewiffic]

Thanks! Appreciate it

[@jimmyelson]

nice one mate!

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Thanks for the visit

[@jakshiz]

Do you recall specifically the tools needed?? Didn’t look like a terrible large amount. 16mm socket for the starter bolts?? 13mm for the cable on the starter, 13mm for the motor mount nuts, ball end Allen 6-7mm for the motor mounts?? Just curious, if going to do this at home and curious

[@1ABY]

Fantastic job great info, if you don't mind me asking what miles on your car?

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Thanks mate. It’s on 115k

[@andylaunchbury8539]

V8 sounds sweeet! Just needs a turbo (or 2) Another project for you? :D

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Hahhaha don’t you start! It crossed my mind a number of times! It’s just too nice to ruin with a turbo.

[@TheCenterLineAuto]

Subbed for more RS4 content!

[@RuskiWeldFab]

ill try :)

[@itzpeaceliamyt2622]

Have you had any coolant leaks from the back of the engine yet nice vid by the way

[@RuskiWeldFab]

Thanks! no no coolant leaks.

[@mikemacb7rs4]

I have a 2008 B7 RS4 I checked my relays (relays 645) they seem okay. I checked my switches they checked okay. So I was going to buy the starter and I was ready to take it out and I found like 16 gauge or 14 gauge single wire just unplugged. Plugged it back in and it started.

[@badrosed]

Can you specify more I didn't understand what is 16 gauge or 14 gauge single wire ot where its located sorry english isn't my first language and i have same problem & want to test your method before changing the starter, i already done checking Almost everything in the car

[@abdurahmaansafi8345]

What is the 16 gauge or 14 gauge wire u connected
Cheers mate

[@user-li8sx4yj4s]

Is it the same on the S4?

[@RuskiWeldFab]

I wouldn’t be able to answer that 100%. But I have a feeling it would very similar location yes

[@alexparker9503]

Does this work for S4 b6?

[@HumbleHotshot]

Were you able to confirm this ? I'm curious as well for 2007 S4 Thanks !

[@GhostVanguard]

This is why I only drive old cars lmao

[@flannyclips2545]

Does anyone k ow if this is the same on the b6 s4?

[@RuskiWeldFab]

if not the same but very very similar.

[@flannyclips2545]

@@RuskiWeldFab I hope so cus my starter is going out and there r no videos of just a starter

[@stevecutts5450]

Mine has just gone on my rs4 so do you fancy doing mine for me 😁

[@RuskiWeldFab]

ermm thanks for your trust but i would have to decline haha

[@stevecutts5450]

@@RuskiWeldFab Ha ha! No worries. It needs a full service, new injectors and a carbon clean as well so I'll get them to put a starter motor on at the same time.

[@stevenbean9706]

Placing any starter between the engine and motor mount is insane , its asking for starter failure .That is the absolute worst design ive ever seen.the 3.2 is just as bad .

[@RuskiWeldFab]

no space anywhere else

[@maccodj]

Awesome, I just need my 3.2 fsi's starter motor replaced.
