Hi! I am a curious guy from Latvia who likes to poke around stuff that I own, especially cars, but I'm not professionally trained. I think that you will see that yourselves.😆 You are welcome to join my channel and see how I retrofit and modify my car(s). I hope that I will inspire you to get the tools out and start working on your own projects as it happened with myself.
The reason why the bottom button doesn’t work is because you don’t have the tilt sensor installed on the car, It will work once you install the tilt sensor module
@@michalopaleny9553 that is an engine type/model. If its 2.0tdi, then still it can have variants. For example different horsepower, different oil filters, etc.. Your car doesn't have cjca engine, but that is kinda good, because you should have an oil measuring stick. You can fill the oil 4l at start, then measure with the stick. I don't have such luxury. Only way I can tell the oil level is through mmi display.
@@ainarsvinks ye i saw that ppl do the same and than keep checking on display, which is kinda ridiculous. Seems like there is way to mod it and add stick tho.
@@michalopaleny9553 so does your audi have a oil stick? I also read that, but I have to be extremely cautious about which stick exactly to buy. From caga engine thr stick is a bit too long.
You can only do it with an OBD scanner/tool. Didn't have it at hand when filming the video. I believe you can reset the oil change interval in the MMI, but not the service interval.
I have this car for 4 years. My A4 has a small oil leak from one of the crankshaft seals that I haven’t fixed yet - i’m waiting when I have to change the timing belt to fix the seal all together. So I can’t tell if it is normal that it burns a bit oil. Well for one thing I haven’t seen any VAG TDi engines which don’t consume a bit oil.
I didn't change the fuel filter. The filter I believe is located underneath the car very close to the left side's skirt. There should be a metal cover protecting the filter and hoses. After the fuel filter change you MUST connect to the car's ECU and tell the fuel tank pump to run for a while. That is needed because the filter and the high pressure pump will be empty - they need to be filled with fuel before starting up the engine or else you will be risking in damaging the high pressure pump.
@@ainarsvinks In my 2011 A4 B8 right hand drive, the filter lives in the underside of the car around where the driver seat is located. Some dirt panels must be removed before it can be accessed.
Small tip mate, before changing the engine oil, just turn the engine for 10 minutes with oil changer cleaner, than drain 😉 it doesn't make a big difference but if there is some micro rubbish it will clean it, but if you keep forgetting from a micro it can turn to big so keep that in mind
Thanks! Yes you should definitely change the washer. It will be crushed when tightening the plug and seal the plug/hole in the process. If you use the old one, there is a chance that the oil can sip out. You will feel the first higher tightening torque when you start crushing the washer, but thats normal. After that it will get a bit easier to tighten till you actually “hit” the oil pan. From there you should tighten by the torque specified.
Nice vid, mate... About to tackle my oil change as well... you'd do well to consider an afe pro dry S air filter for the engineas it's washable and makes my B8.5 A4 breathe better with the added benefit of hearing more of the turbo... And damn, that's a nice driveway bro 👍 Cheers
I will give you an info about that tomorrow. I have to update the catalog database. As I can see in e-shops there is some problem with the correct filter. One is with the plastic stick inside the filter, but another suggests to use the same as mine - without. Even the same shop has both of those options stated for cagc... haha.
Hey ..thanks for the video man..i have an A5 ..b8 , so it pretty much identical with yours. I'm going to Greece from Germany by car and ill service it my self !!
