different psi is the size and the thickness of the rubber o-ring under the cap. Worn o ring will release the pressure earlier. Over filled coolant always will damage the o-ring within few days and it become harden unable to hold the pressure, the coolant will boil and burst out or cause leak
sorry to cross post, i'm having a really hard time finding info on this. You guys did a b7 auto to 2,7t 01e. I'm doing a 2008 B7 2.0t auto to 2.7t 01e. Do you happen to know which transmission mounts i need to make this work? Thanks for any info!
I started with PB Blaster or WD40, and once it freed up I tried to feed in some gear oil using a short hose. If you can free it up with a penetrant you could also finish with something tackier like fluid film. The trick for me was to just keep hitting it once a week for a few weeks in the heat of summer to get it well and properly in there and so that it would stay freed up for a while.
which transmission mounts did you use in order to maintain the b7 2 side mounts? Can't find this info anywhere! Mines a 2008 b7 A4 2.0t auto to 2.7t 01e
I have a 2002 audi a4 3.0i quattro and it seems that I have a vacuum leak from under the intake actuator (pressure tested with smoke) it's not the side vacuum hoses, it literally come from under the middle of the intake manifold.. What could it be? I am suspecting intake manifold gaskets, but then why would the smoke come right from the middle... Any advice? Thank you in advance!
Yeah. Good video! Same unreliable wiper lenght reported for my R56/R55 Mini. Also that car is really picky about the blades anyway. Wrong one's do not wipe properly even being right lenght. My guess is that the glass is so convex.
S’agit d’ouvrir la caisse de l’actuateur, nettoyer, lubrifier avec un produit à base de silicone, et réinstaller sur les mêmes marques. C’est à dire, sans changer la position de l’actuateur relatif à la transmission. Si possible, utiliser le programme STAR par Mercedes pour effectuer une adaptation numérique.
It has been about 15,000km since the installation and not one concern. The OEM struts that have now about 165,000km havent blown either, and it remains as comfortable to drive as before.
I have my b6 2.7 swapped just put k04s on it and got it started this week had it on k03s and I fell in love can’t wait for the k04s got a front mount on coilovers vaughtlands and have Alcon 6 pistons on it so excited
Traditionally the motor shaft with the commutator (the bit you cleaned with the little wire brush) can be be removed completely. Then placed in a lathe and the ridges gently turned down, we are only talking about 0.2mm. The brushes can usually easily take up the extra space. From your video the blackness of the copper commutator is usually because of faulty or worn brushes that are arcing to the commutator rather than smoothing running round it.
@@PBGarage Thank you. I am in Australia and looking at buying a 2011 451 on the weekend. Your video was very helpful on what to look for. I was a mechanic in my younger days, but past full on stuff these days.
@@PBGarage The main problem in Australia, is the availability of parts. In theory we should be able to get therm from Mercedes dealers but in practice its not that easy. I am going to attempt to get the frame lowering bolts you talked about.
@ChrisBrown-ux8jn we are having similar issues here now, the Mercedes’ dealers aren’t really supporting them since 2018. You can still get parts but prices are going up and so are delivery times. I’m sure the parts will start drying up soon too.
Would you happen to know what would cause driver side turn signal bulb(Top Orange) and little light on driver side( next to door) to not stay on when I turn headlights on. They blink but won’t stay on, but both lights on passenger side turn signals stay on but won’t blink. This issue is driving me nuts. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. 🙏
I’m not certain but I think the turn signal relay may be a part of the hazard light switch assembly, could try swapping that out. I’d check wiring for obvious faults first and fuses. Then swap the hazard switch for a junkyard one. Last thing could be a fault in the SAM but that would be a pain to fix.
@@PBGarage So apparently the turn signal lights should not stay on at all times and the side that turns off is the side that the turn signal works. So I think it may be a relay issue and the passenger side is stuck in the "ON" position. At least I hope so. Thanks for your help, you are appreciated!
I did mine back up because I didn’t want the coolant lines rattling around and springing a leak. Might be ok without the bolt, might not, I don’t really know.
I just finished doing mine today luckily I didn’t Have to take half the engine apart as I had a few tools around me to get to the coolant 10m bolt but it did take a few hours to figure out How to get it out but I completed the job in 7 hours 🤦♂️
Mine has a problem in that it is just plain heavy to steer, the angles of the dangles , are just leading to heavy steering. It needs some power assistance which the top models have on them.
My 3.0 lifts up hard asf and takes off like a rocket I love the top end the torque and the hp it’s so powerful 💪🏽😂 but I’m not stock I’m just sitting at about 300 hp that’s it no speed limiter either so I can max out my dash 🤧
When I first got my used SC, i changed the oil, and low and behold, the threads came out of the pan as well. I've gotten lucky so far as the drain plug catching, but I think a change of an oilpan is in the future. ty for vid.
@BarrioHoncho the 01E out of B5S4 and C5A6 uses two side mounts so it bolts right up to B6/B7 auto subframe. The B6A4 01E has a different type of mount and uses B6/B7 manual subframe with a cast aluminum trans mount.
Ye this might have been my issue I was hearing. Ticking noise and I was getting low oil pressure light coming on once in a while replaced sender since it was leaking out the connector so replace and no more light but I would get they beep once in a while and then 2 weeks later boom rod out the side of the block on the highway, so I’m going to check it out on the used engine thanks for the vid. What a stupid design
Great work. I own both models of the B6. Both quattro. I love them dearly but my lord the age of them has me questioning how much I can afford to have them in the shop every quarter for odds and ends. Last was the thermostat and a few coolant lines. In the process they destroyed what was left of my breather hoses so Im in the process of replacing that with some 034 motorsport silicone hose. How about I mail you my avant for a bulletproofing eh? :)
It feels like OEM. This is my wife's car, and if it increased any harshness I wouldn't hear the end of it. She didn't notice a change in comfort, and neither did I. A great cost effective solution for lowering it.
I definitely have water intrusion problems (had to repair the wires under the carpet) but I have a drain on the battery somewhere. I’m thinking it might be this module, but the marker lights don’t stay on like you said. However, with the car off and keys out if I hit the turn signal the turn signal light will come on and stay on. Think it’s probably a bad module?
No I don't think it's this module, but I could be wrong. Most VAG vehicles do that when the car is off and you leave the turn singal on. All my audis have a constant beeeeeeeep if I leave a turn signal on. Porsche is an audi which is a VW.
My nephew was able to follow your directions and clean my old blower up with some kind of metal brush and a drill. I'd already bought the new blower from Amazon ( & forgot to send it back). His handy work lasted almost a year. Since I have a new one, I'm not even gonna futs around with trying to refurbish again. Wish me luck replacing it on my own.
There's kits on Amazon that have great reviews that cost 1/3rd the price of the ECS Tuning kit, but to order one of those I need to know the proper inside diameter of the cup, and the proper diameter of the OEM bearing.
Hey! Quick question im working on my 02 a4 and i was wondering would locking the cams still be necessary if only the crank is locked? Or does that work vice versa only? Thanks in advance!
