Stripping the S8 D2 Engine & Removing the 5 Speed Transmission
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- I remove the ZF 5HP24 automatic trans from the 4.2L Audi block and begin stripping off all components till we're left with a long block. This includes the process of finding TDC, removing exhaust manifolds, engine mounts, wiring harness, all coolant lines, the power steering pump, the oil filter housing and oil cooler, and the entire timing belt system on the front of the engine.

Thanks for showing all the details on the D2 S8 4.2.
Just purchased my D2. Excited to get started!
Just found the channel, i own a VW/Audi shop in BC and may be picking up a D2 shortly. Hope there is more content coming. Sometimes the service manual is wrong so it led you astray a couple times but good on ya for persevering.
Thanks for stopping in Jason. You're right, there are minor things in the service manuals I've found so far that have been a little off from reality while tearing down the block. Still having a blast taking things apart (and not facing the music of real build costs yet :D).
Great stuff.
Are you a Snap On dealer? I feel like whenever I try to find a VAG tool and it’s a Snap On, I can never order it because I’m not a dealer.
I'll give you a legalese type of answer: Figure It Out Media, DBA Figure It Audi is a business and shop registered for access to these platforms.
Great video, great series! I have 3 Audis, 2x 1.8 and one 2.8. Having worked on the small 1,8 and the larger 2.8 what I see here does not frighten me any more. The big V8 is just like the 2.8 or 2x the smaller 1.8. I also have the special tools and all in all it's a great motor to work on, no rocket sience requierd. I was really surprised how rusted up your engine and axels were. I live in Germany, Bavaria, and we also have snow in the winter but I guess you beat us on the that by miles... Keep up the good work, I will follow with great intrest.
thanks
Uwe
Great to see this coming along - making me wonder what sort of state my own is in!
Great series man. Excited to see new vids-
Awesome job
Again. loved watching your episode!
Keep up to great work.
Great video! Appreciate all the work you put into your videos for us, I know how hard that is :)
you need a crank bolt stabilizer to get the bolt out, I’ve got an extra one if you need it
Ming Blue 03 S8 owner here. Just found your channel. Good luck with your project.
Nice, thanks for stopping in Yuri. Have you done any modifications to the car, or ran into problems over your ownership?
@@FigureItAudi I love this car! I only had it for a little more than a year now. Although I live in Boston, the winter this year was a disappointment (You know what I mean :) ). I've been doing some small work on the car here and there. Both mechanical and cosmetics. Valve cover gaskets, sparks and coils, restored headlights, etc. Replacing some missing or broken plastic and rubber bits sourced from ebay or facebook market from parts out cars. Some from Europe Audi Tradition. The only "mods" on the car: 20" summer wheels, custom exhaust, modern ignition coils, lowered springs with Bilstein shocks and aftermarket radio (all was made by previous owner). I'm trying to keep it as original as possible, but parts are a big issue.
Fun to watch!
Have you seen Dean's R8 V8 rebuild videos at Saving Salvage?
I had stumbled across his channel a few times by chance but just now skimmed through the R8 work he’s doing and it gives me even more confidence in the process I know I’ll be going through soon as well. Thanks 🙂
👍
Anymore D2 content you plan on posting still? Always like watching a fellow owner wrench on it.
Yeah, the S8 will be on the channel for the whoooole winter.
Awesome job steve, keep on going with the indept teardown! I was wondering whether you are planning to change the crankshaft bearings?
Hi Tommy - Yeah, unless I come across some critical issue that would make the block unusable, the intention is to fully rebuild the bottom end and heads while making minor improvements.
Great to hear! Can’t wait to see the full teardown of the engine 👍
First, I really enjoy watching your videos... question, if you're sending the engine out for machine work why both trying to preserve TDC?
Hi Paul, thanks for watching. The effort to find TDC is more to protect the components when more things start coming apart. The bolt holding the timing gear to the front of the crank is torqued to over 200ftlbs and if the crank wasn't pinned, I wouldn't be able to break it free (that will be next episode). That and, I didn't need to accidentally send valves slamming into piston faces if I foolishly rolled over a cam when playing with the exhaust cam sprockets. And it's fun?
Great video. What software/website were you using for the manual instructions?
All my reference material for this car comes from erWin online which you can rent access to for a short period of time.
Thx for all the honest perspective ... i have a 2002 D2 S8 black-on-black that is down for the count right now with some trans issues. Won't activate in reverse and doesnt turn over since that started happening. You mentioned the shift assembly during your break down video and i am wondering if you think there is something mechanical keeping it from turning over because it thinks it is in-gear or Neutral?
Hey, thanks for watching. "I don't know" is my real answer but I'll add 2 things. One is that the electronically controlled switch is splined to the gear it's on and at 280k kms, mine didn't look worn at all, so I don't think it can fail that way. But also, the trans oil cooler lines (which leak) are directly in front of that switch and my entire connector, harness and the switch itself was beyond caked in grease, read: high probably there could be an electrical issue. I guess the good news is you just be able to see some of this stuff from under the car if it's up on stands.
I’m thoroughly insulted by how cleanly your water pump came out.
Where can I get an oil pump for the transmission of this Audi D2 5HP24?
What’s happening with this project?
Fun things! The late start to winter this year meant restarting the S8 project a few months behind schedule but the next episode is being filmed now and you can get a peek at what's happening on IG.
@@FigureItAudi okay look forward to it! Really do enjoy your videos. I have quite a few of the S8 D’s here in the UK. I’ll check out your IG 👍
Great work and very interesting!
Cani ask where did you find the correct manual for the engine rebuild?
@@Duffy3074 Good question. The most reliable source is erWin, but theres also pretty much every PDF you could need on A8 Parts Forum too.
