    Consider this
    Replace:
    map sensors
    camshaft position sensors
    vvt solenoids
    Evap purge valve
    Oil Pressure sensors
    Fuel pressure sensor
    Pcv valve
    O2 sensors
    I replaced these on my car (S4), except the O2 sensors, PCV valve and the fuel pressure sensor they are next. None of these threw a code. Since I bought this car used, I just wanted to change some old parts. My car runs much better. And unknowingly, changing the VVT solenoids solved the startup rattle, which I assumed was the timing chain.
    Just like you, I'm going to carbon and injector clean when I change my PCV valve.
    Also:
    Fuel filter
    Fuel pumps
    Change transmission fluid
    Change differential fluid
    Compression test
    Reset ECM
    Just throwing ideas at you. Especially ones that you can DIY.
    Good luck. Outstanding RUclips content.

I have a suggestion. Why don’t you make a quick recap of the past videos so new viewers are on track but you also tell us the time when the actual video starts.
