This was not how I expected my summer to begin... Right when I thought things were going well for the car, it threw me a curveball. But these are the kind of risks you take when modifying a car this heavily - especially if you do the work yourself. Hopefully I'll get to drive it for at least a little bit this summer. I won't keep my hopes up though.

Hope everything works out and this thing comes back ripping up the road.
I will support this build however i can
Personally I'm happy you like to be unique. The car is beautiful and you've done good work to it so far. As Mike Finnegan once said, "Even though it's broken,I'm happy with it. It just doesn't love me yet". Keep your head up, you'll get there. And you'll have a lot more to show for it at the end than just buying an S4. You'll have a lot more work and heart into something you can be proud you built. Good luck!
NaptownTuner is an Audi guru. Especially with the B8 2.0t. I’m sure he could help if reach out, he seems like a great guy.
agreed, he is a CHAMP. I am going to him for all my stuff since im here in the state with him.
Yeah he seems nice online kinda came across as a douche when I called him tho. Expected a more positive response from what he’s posted, but that experience was enough for me to just figure it out myself.
@@artisticmrfaulk587 Unfortunately I also peeped that when trying to ask him a question about the B8 Audi’s. I believe it was after I posted this comment originally so it didn’t age well lol
You're good bro, whether you part it out or build it. From experience, trust me build it, I regret getting rid of my money pit. Its frustrating at times but worth the fun.
Don't give up! Thank to you I started bulding engine for my B8. Yes, thank to you, because before I found you and your videos I was afraid to start working on my car.
Absolutely love this channel, every single one of your videos has always been QUALITY > QUANTITY. Little things such as the voice-over in the intro with the cinematics are what keeps your videos so interesting. Love the A4 build and I hope that it can hopefully be fixed and back on the road again doing pulls! Also, keep up the great work with the car meet videos! Praying for the best!
Self-directed pablum. Cinematically rich with a paper thin book (script). The Internet is full of people who think the mundane is special. The car project is great, the constant angst and hand wringing and the per usual "watch as I do this, as I do that" - stuff that previous generations just did and did not look for thousands of eyeballs and group approval is the standout feature here, again, duplicated in the millions by this self absorbed generation. BORING af...if you ask me.
U r cool dude brother everything will b ok.
STORY TIME!! The money I spent on modding my old Honda could have bought me a pretty sweet 600RR. The money i spent on modding my old 1/2ton Ford could have bought me a pretty rad SuperDuty. The money I spent modding my Jeep Cherokee could have bought me a the coolest Wrangler in the state. The money I've spent modding this Jetta of mine could have bought me the Audi of my dreams. Guess what. The money I'm going to spend modding my next ride could be going towards the better/faster/cooler option but then that just wouldn't be fun.
Never let setbacks discourage you from modding anything. Everything you do is a lesson learned and an improvement on yourself. Keep up the great work!
Got to meet you at brew city bangers . Super cool down to earth dude hope it all works out for ya man hang in there !!!!
Cinematography and editing is next level 🙌. I don't want to know how long all the work on the car takes when you're trying to capture all the right angles...
It’ll all be alright brother. My motor blew right before quarantine. Waited awhile but it was worth bringing her back to life. Keep the build going. You’ll get sponsored for it at some point
Keep your head up man don’t let this get you down, we will be here waiting.
Bro you are a legend! I will keep supporting you, its so cool that you just picked a B8 and went all out on it. So much respect! You are smart enough to fix the problems you are facing atm. Kind regards, Xander
Look at the bright side, at least there isn’t a hole in the block, keep your head up!
My 2010 A4 died almost exactly at 150,000 miles and I’m having similar dilemmas to you, I’ve noticed a bunch of A4 B8 options for things are no longer even options … it seems :( getting the T-shirt & stickers now since the cinematography has been so phenomenal, your sense of humor has been great and I’ve learned a lot about my car from your adventures
I just watched this and then went outside to stare at my 2010 A4 Avant with all the bells and whistles and..... a P0299 underboost code, white smoke at 50% thottle and insane oil consumption. I know it's the bad rings from the original motor recall that Audi lost a lot of money on. I know the solution to the P0299. I also know that I'm thinking about a full engine build for a Tiptronic 6 speed automatic station wagon.... *sigh -- Good luck man!
That’s how this kind of thing seems to work out. You’ll get it patched up though.
It happens to the best of us carguys. Don't let this hiccup keep you down. The best part of this setback is you learned something.
Dayum…. Well sometimes this stuff happens. Stay positive we will be here.
JE Pistons 💪
Also know what you mean by waiting for parts, waited almost over a month for rods. 🤨
I originally came to your channel for the Audi A4 B8 content. Every book has an end. I've just grown to know not everything works out no matter how optimistic we are. You make great videos keep them coming!
Gutted for you bro...
But know that it’ll all work out in the end!
Theres not much support but the community is big.. love Audi and VW
Man I hope everything works out for you. I have been trying to get my old AMC to start these past couple of days and it's been frustrating, but I can't imagine what you've gone through. I really hope your rowdy A4 will be back on the road 😎👍
Don’t give up bro.
Hmmm the ring gap ? Alot of fuel ? Never give up my friend =) you have learn alot and made new friends from that ! This was the price of learning. Im with you if i can i will help =) David from Portugal
I built mine with 83mm JE pistons with 700hp rated rods. I also put in Ferrara valves and had my crank polished. The only difference is I have water/meth injection. I'm running a CTS K04 turbo. I wanna go with a big turbo next. So I will be selling my turbo to help pay for the difference of the bigger CTS turbo. Mine is a 09 dark blue. It looks similar to yours.
when I'm annoyed my Z has been down for 2 months for a simple transmission problem seeing this frustration puts things into perspective. Hoping things work out sooner rather than later for you
Don’t be discouraged man. This is how builds go. Try and keep your head up! It will be so fucking cool and unique once finished. If it makes you feel any better, i would rather have a done up a4 than my s4! The grass always seems greener on the other side, but it never really is 🙂
I love the honesty. I’m in the same boat trying to make that decision, upgrade or move on while I’m burning oil.
After watching the series of you building the car and wishing I had the same internals as you then my car blowing up and me rebuilding the motor was a wish I never asked for. Before my motor blew up I almost sold my car and bought a Lexus ls400, now after the rebuild I wish I did. I currently don’t have any major problems knock on wood but these cars are nothing more than daily drivers. I just need to treat my car like one. This is all too familiar to me. You will figure it out. Your a smart dude. You’ve done this before. You’ll get it fixed. These motors aren’t too complicated/complex. Good luck man!
I completely understand what you are going through. My allroad is sucking my wallet dry and is not happy. But we don’t give up
Man oh man I for one definitely understand that feeling I did a partial rebuild and I'm leaking oil and have some kind of air leak as well 😞. Good luck tho I'm sure all will be well.
I've recently purchased a a4 avant tfsi quattro & want to modify it slightly hence how I found your channel 👍🏼. I hope you get it sorted soon as I've enjoyed your uploads
Just get oversized rings and grind them down.. you're making it very hard they don't have to be made by that specific company. What size are Pistons I got an 83 mm bored block that came with my car when I bought it last summer. It's literally sitting in my garage wrapped up in a tarp. I can send you pictures if you'd like.
I'm the same way! I went and purchased a 2014 A4 because I wanted the 4 cylinder (for my wife) but I drive a 01 A4. I think it's fun to make decent power with a small engines. It's never stupid to modify a car! It does suck with the issues you've had but this wouldn't have been an issue if IE didn't screw you, and I know it's not really thier fault but...
Blame Amazon for buying up all the shipping containers. Can’t wait for the comeback 👍🏽
You’ll get it figured out chris! Excited to see the build videos back up! And my question is why don’t you just cut your losses and put a nice 13b or 20b rotary engine in there? Might be the answer 😆
Wait up piston rings are back on the market again!
Hold up, for real?
Ring end gap seems suspect... But the whole process you went through... Damn
Cheer up bro! You can finish this build. 💪🏻
the question would be what was your ring gap. It's likely you had it too tight. if the pistons have no scuffing, that would be what caused the scoring.
Good luck with everything 🙏💪
Just as I was about to suggest that you get 21 mm wrist pin JE pistons, you mentioned them) good luck with rebuild!
I feel you man, I have a 2011 a4 I’ve done a bunch too. It burned oil and finally jumped timing. Haven’t fixed it yet cause of the cost. But I love the car
Sorry to hear about this. Thanks for sharing the journey..... and for what it's worth, owning a B8 S4 would be the same amount of work and frustration. Ask me how I know LOL
This and that, bur what happened after all?
The lines on the piston walls, as long as they pass the nail test, it is fine.
All pistons had good compression.
Bro you have my support I have a B8.5 A4 I’m nervous on doing a stage 2 set up
It’s going to be worth it at the end
Yuuuuup getting anything even car parts is tougher right now. I ordered a DSG service kit from DAP knowing VAG makes a DQ250 and DQ500. I didn't take into account a different filter size between those two transmissions. Service kit came with the smaller filter and I was in a hurry when I ordered it not looking at the vehicle compatibility. Got the kit and did the service finding out that I needed a different trans filter. Left the old one in for a short period of time and tried to source the right one online. I looked through about eight different online vendors. They had kits ($180 for the kit with the right filter) but did not have the individual filter itself in stock, except ECS and they were a week from getting it to them. Decided to bite the bullet and call Zimbrick, luckily they had it and I did the swap in my driveway.
Oh man… i feel for you. It’s great that you’re trying again. It’s ridiculous the cost associated with the A4 platform to try to get power vs. the S4 as you touched on. Heading over to buy some merch now to try to help. Keep it up. My Allroad and I are rooting for you. @allroad_b8.5
B7 is a better a4 builder why because b7 s4s suck lol
Hey, u should part that motor out and put a 3.2 n/a in it
4:18 That code gives me fucking PTSD. One morning I woke up, turned my car on, started up and sounded like it was running on 2 cyls and then died. Chain tensioner gave up the ghost causing the chain to lose all its tension, skip time and bang every single valve. Needed a rebuild. That was 10,000kms ago, car is now on 205k kms and is running great except for permanent DSG fuckery but it is what it is.
I’m sorry to hear about the car man. I have faith in you tho stay strong. Also I noticed you put gauges where the lighter was did you buy a pod for that or is that custom
I made it out of pvc, looks pretty bad up close. I made video installing it a couple months ago, titled "finishing touches"
Keep ya head up big dawg
Everything going to be okay. It is what it is.
About 17k man that's what the build takes I know
Planned obsolescence. Your worst nightmare.
Hey man I’ve had the same problem, cylidar one was my culprit
What about changing the engine? Buy a s4 engine and put it in your car. Love that v8 sound.
hit up naptown tuner if you wanna grab a block. He has a ton of them and im sure he would be down to share with another creator. He's an early youtube creator trying to come up with the 2.0 tfsi
it is possible the screen to cause such a big issue inside the cylinders?
Keep up the content and stay strong!
i think for the 2.0t, the max it should be would be a k04
Oh man you have my sympathy. I lost my 2011 A4 2.0 timing chain tensioner just four weeks ago, and just two weeks after it’s 135000 mile service.
I don’t have your mechanical skills nor the cash to pay the dealer to drop a new motor into a 135k mile old frame so sold it cheap to a mechanic who did have your skills.
What did I do… bought another A4 2.0 a few years younger.
I am a smart person but apparently lack all common sense.
Check out NaptownTuner. He is very thorough and knowledgeable at the a4 platform check him out. He may have all of your answers.
Naptown tuner has no idea about anything but stock. He may have been an Audi tech but whenever I see him talk about anything that's not stock he's kind of clueless.
Question: I have a 2011 A4 B8, what is the highest tune you would recommend for this engine without running into problems? Should I do a stage one and leave it at that to not have any issues?
Damn man, I'm really sorry for the piston/piston ring failure. I also have an A4 which I've done a few things on. Nothing as in-depth as you since I lack the knowledge and know-how. I really like all your videos! They're very inspirational. I especially like the fact that you seem like a normal guy who's driven by the technology and mechanics of these complicated motors. I get very tired of seeing other guys' videos who are always sponsored and paid for by... Takes nuts to undertake what you do without corp. sponsorship. Anyways, keep at it and don't get too down and out. I live in Vegas and would love to pick your brain about my B8.5 sometime.
Have you checked for oil leak there for pcv valve goes bad because it’s considered a vacuum leak
sucks to hear about your bad luck. Seems like just about everything that could go wrong did. I'm still don't understand how the rings scored the cylinders though. The oil system on the Audi/VW 2.0T seems not so great...
Ya pretty much exactly my experience…. 4 engines later🥴 gotta love the 2.0t🙄 try a tdi….
Question - Any chance you can get some compensation for Moly providing faulty rings? A bit too much of a coincidence that they are not longer manufactured?
Hey Chris, I tried talking with you on IG but I didn’t get an answer, I got a B8.5 A4 and I just realized that it has a weird idle it vibrates like on an off on and off, and I came back to this video because I got a P001600 code, the car drives fine, no loss in power, no oil consumption, no problem with starting, I replaced the camshaft position sensor and also the VVT valve and still the same problem and no one that I know knows about this, I wonder if you could know
Unfortunately I don’t know any better than you on that issue. I’d check other usual maintenance items like plugs, coils, carbon buildup, vacuum or boost leaks
What's ur patreon bro? I got a pretty "different" build coming soon and I've been following yours getting motivated myself. It's not even German at all but I'm a car guy and love the content. I rather just send u the bread u don't even need to ship merch
I feel your pain
Having a similar issue with my b7 hoping it's just a cylinder head issue
How about wossner pistons ate they any good?
I know I’m a day late and a dollar short with this comment/question but is it possible to sleeve those blocks
What did you gap the rings to?
Damn how much horsepower
Totally feel your pain as a B8 Stage 2 owner! 🙈 🤞 It all comes good for you. 💪
Damn man I love how much love you have for your ride man. I love the car dude regardless if it’s an s4 or not you put a lot of love into it and I really understand but tbh the look on your face about this car tells it all man it’s such a love hate thing with these German cars it’s like when there good they’re great and there’s nothing anyone can say about that ride but boy as much bad as they bring it’s hurts your heart over and over again until the hurt hurts more than the love and it’s like man why I just love you run forever and they just never run long enough for you to really comfortably enjoy it minus the tears. 😩 it’s hard to not love them yet it’s so much harder to love them. I love Audi/Bmw both BMW my favorite but man as much as it cost just to enjoy the ride it’s almost like fuck will it ever be worth it to have one or just seeing nice ones driving something more reliable I hate it here man. Love the vids tho bro
Man i feel your pain i rebuilt my engine stripped two cylinder head bolts and said f*ck it i hope it doesn’t come to bite me in the ass later also i have another used block i can sell, and you should use 23mm rods with updated stock pistons and updated waffle piston rings like i did I haven’t burned a quart since ive rebuilt my 2.0
My 2011 A4 2.0T burns oil like crazyyy, I noticed my pcv has some oil leaking through. If I replace that will that some whay help? Or what do you recommend. I really don’t wanna give up on this car but I’ll eventually upgrade to an s5
It’s most likely your piston rings. It was a very big and very common issue with B8s due to the factory pistons being designed poorly. Lots of documentation of it on the web. Some people have been able to get Audi to cover the repair, but nowadays it’s pretty unlikely. You can start by replacing the pcv, but I wouldn’t get your hopes too high. You’re probably going to need to replace/rebuild your engine with new pistons and rings very soon.
Dude, love your videos but you always sound like your breaking up 😅. But I’ll get a shirt.
😆
Question: I have an a4 of my own, how far would you say is worth going with modding the car? have you ever thought about an engine swap with your current predicament?
I second this question! I’m thinking about putting some money into my 2011 A4 but on the fence if I want to just do some cosmetics and save up for a 3.0t B8 S4 or even look at an A6
I have a B8 A4 Avant 2009 and personally I will mod it to stage 2 and drive it to the ground.
Love the content but man you sold me on never ever owning a A4 again.no matter what year.
No offense, your videos have convinced me to let a pro build my engine. I respect you for learning and putting in work, but there is too much to mess up and I'm not pulling my engine and tearing it down 3 times in a year
I don’t blame you. That’s why I had the pros do it this time around
@@FlinkFilms Ok, look forward to the results. Cheers mate.
i got a block if you need one
Gen 3 tsi swap
Watching this after my IE ($20K) spec race motor only lasted 3000 miles. I want to stop you now. These 2.slow engines are honestly Audi’s worst decision ever. Sorry for your loss. But it’s time to sell all the 2.0 stuff and swap in a 2.5.
Question: and then put your question.
Ok the question window has now closed, no more questions after this masterpiece.
@@FlinkFilms hello there I'm currently on my 5th rebuild on my 2010 Audi A4 2 l tfsi 6 speed manual I have found quite a few problems with a block and other issues that you probably need to address if you can continue on this platform please message me I will gladly help you with some modifications that will definitely help you out my build is quite extensive it is a efr 7163 ar85 equal length header 3-in exhaust seat CTS lightning flywheel stage 3 spec clutch supertech valves and valve springs upgraded mechanical pump dual pumps in the tank tune with eurodyne so I know you're the amount of money put into this to not even have that much horsepower I'm currently sitting at 440 horsepower to the wheels and I just bought larger injectors and an intake but I will gladly help you in your build
Question: what's your biggest takeaway from all of this? I've been watching your whole series.
Damn man, you have no luck in your life...
Can’t u just resleeve?
V8 swap
Dont feel bad on the wait. I ordered a custom set from JE for an american engine and it's a 5 to 6 week wait as of 3 weeks ago. Only a few more weeks and half the summer over and my streetrace motor will be built.....
