- Опубликовано: 11 ноя 2020
- In this video I detail the failed turbos on my 2013 Audi S7 I purchased from salvage auction a few months ago. I show the failure, what it looks like, what causes it, repairs, and reasoning for upgrading to a larger turbos. I hope you enjoy.

I believe you have it backwards as to what the root cause of the failure is. Debris getting into the turbo isn't what causes the failure. Rather, the screens clog, restricting the flow of oil, causing oil starvation to the turbos. Plus, I don't think you put your check valves in right.
Thanks for you comment. Audi actually superceeded the orginal screens equipped on these vehicles with the new screens that are said to trap finer particles. Had the old screen been clogged i could visually of seen that upon removal and have not encountered that to date on these vehicles. As far as the check valve goes, at 8:05 in the video i demonstrate the operation of the check valve. Installing it upside down would cause oil pressure to push on the back side of the valve holding it closed and not allow oil to enter the turbocharger bearings. One would find out very quickly if they install this part incorrectly as turbo failure would occur very quickly, i assure you i performed the installation properly.
If you follow any Audi forums, you’d see that the screens and check valve are the root cause of turbo failures. I jus purchased a 2013 A8L with only 58k
Miles and the turbos were replaced 2 years ago when the car had only 38k miles. Every service interval was performed on this car by Audi. There is a kit that moves the screen to a location that is easier to service which I am
Going to install
Thanks alot of good information for a newbie
Great video!
Do you have a link for the turbos? 🙏
How much did the turbo replacements cost and how long did this take and how complicated was this to do?
How did you get that clamp from off the turbo connecting to the header?
Guessing this didn't go to plan with no part 3 after 6 months? nice video though thanks
Fortunately all is well, no further problems since the repairs. Been driving the car about 10 months compiling video for part 3. Unfortunately been busiier than i had hoped so part 3 is taking some time.
How did you manage to remove the charge air cooler /AOS unit? did you have to drain the coolant fluid, and strip detach the radiator support to make room?
Yes, unfortunately it is alot of work to get the charge air cooler off these vehicles.
Is there a part 3 coming? Would love to see the final product! Thanks.
There will be still working on compiling footage. Thank you for you interest ill have it up as soon as i can.
@@ChronCrew Awesome! Looking forward to it. I also bought a ‘13 S7 from Copart few months ago. Turbos were shot as well. I decided to gamble and get Chinese replicas, and I just put it all together yesterday. It’s running great but have not had it on the road yet to really test it. I’m just regretting not upgrading to the RS turbos though.
@@D12Diesel chinese turbos have come a long way. Alot of oem manufacturers have gone to chinese manufacturers for many things as well so the products coming out of there are starting to meeg a higher standard.
@@ChronCrew @D12Diesel which Turbos are you running?
@@martmccars166 mine are Costels, still no problems with 10k miles.
Thank you your upload! I think this engine is in a desperate state. Every rotation is adding up the damage of the cilinder bore and the rod bearings. The residual oil should be removed completely from the engine: I would say this engine should be dissassembled completely and wash it out before any turns. The pistons, the rings, the cylinder bores and rod bearings should be checked, measured precisely to assess the damage. Very likely the measurements are out of specs and the engine is a bin of screws. Even if you decide just to flush it only the increased oil consumption, lower power and a short engine life is very likely. Sorry to see that. What is the current status of the project?
Car is completed, running, and currently tuned to just over 700hp. Been driving the car for about 10 months so far and very happy with it.
@@ChronCrew all that bullshit he talking lol... good to see the car running good
@@ChronCrew I’m thinking about getting the hpa cartridge for my s7 .... what mods do you have to get to 700 hp
@@drewwave9736 just need the turbo cartridge upgrades, high flow downpipes/exhaust, high flow air intake, and tune from apr. I have an rs7 airbox with k&n filter, catless downpipes with stassis exhaust, and apr stage 3 tune for 93, 100, and 104 octane fuel.
@@drewwave9736 i mean it's not entirely bullshit, those turbos disintegrating potentially sent metal through the intercooler and into the engine. and as ChronCrew said, he could see that the oil was very dirty.
I just dont understand the screens. the whole oild system is run on a filter that filters way better than a screen. Id rather do an oil bypass if that dirty oil is a issue.
This is confusing...almost everyone on RUclips is saying the oil screen gets clogged...I talked to an audi dealer they saying it's from debris getting pass the oil screen
what codes will pop up if im having turbo faliure???
None. Check Audi World Turbo Failure Thread more info
how many kilometers does the turbo charger have
The original turbos had just over 40k miles
Are those SRM turbos?
These were manufactured by Costello.
Still got the s7?
Still got it, havent had the heart to sell it yet
@@ChronCrew did you fix it?
I have one myself, I need a lil help with the plugs and wiring colors on the front for the two radars on the bumper,along with a few more wires in that same wire loom. Could you help please?
Air compressor 09:55. Never good timing
Lol, isnt that the truth
