As a C5 RS6 home mechanic, I enjoyed this video a lot. Nice car, nice garage 👍🏽 I have a SJP (suction jet pump) to do on mine which is in the middle of the ‘V’ under the intake manifold. So can relate to your troubles even though you have a ‘hot V’ Keep up the good work and editing skills 🙂
Hey thanks for watching, pleased you enjoyed the video. Literally no idea what I am doing but learning very quickly. I am a big fan of giving things a go and learning from mistakes, as long as its not a catastrophic mistake lol. Love the C5 also, still has a such a great presence on the road.
Awesome DIY, I have the same car here in Brazil, I'll also try this job myself, probably... I'm still waiting for parts to arrive. Your channel is much appreciated, the car is such a gem, I've had it for a couple of years, but it's come time for heavier maintenances.
Hi, thank you so much for the kind feedback. Its amazing to know my videos are reaching fellow RS6 enthusiasts in other corners of the globe. Hopefully my videos will give you a good idea about what's involved. Its a lot of work but if you have the time, space and tools and you attack it with confidence you will do great. Best of luck and thanks for watching :D
Hey thanks for your amazing comment and support. Its quite a lot of work but hopefully this will give you some confidence to have a go :D. You can learn from my mistakes lol Thanks for watching and happy motoring.
Wow! How do you remember where everything goes 😅 Looking forward to seeing you putting the RS6 puzzle back together again in the next part! Glad to see you keep showing your PVC suit off in the video 😉 Keep up the good work!
massive respect the fact that youre tackling this at home, i like to tinker and dont mind simple jobs but feel like this is too much for me... starting to feel a slight hesitation under light acceleration so im afraid i might have to do PCV soon too...
Hi thanks for your comment and kind words of support. It has been a big learning curve with a few squeaky bum moments off camera but all worth it in the end. At least now you know what's involved fully if you need to change yours and what to expect from a garage interns of labour time etc. Good luck with it :)
Nice video man, i just got the PCV and oil screen replaced on my C7 S6 last week, watching this no wonder it was 3 and a half days at the mechanics haha 😂😂 basically ripping half the car apart.
Haha it's pretty full on and I keep finding more jobs to do! I hope the garage bill wasn't too eye watering on the S6!!! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Loving the support :D
Subbed. Had the oil separator and PCV done under warranty a week after getting my C7 (when Audi finally made the problem official) Also loving the garage. I’ve just had my garage extended so I could fit the RS6 in, with pretty much the same roller door. Just need to do the flooring and get some decent lighting so I can get some paint correction done. Keep up the great content!
Hey thanks for the kind words and support. Having a garage big enough to house your RS6 will be a game changer! Not to mention complimentary on the insurance premiums I am sure. I can recommend Duramats and their skirting board for the flooring, that's what I used. Hope you enjoy the next video :)
Great work! Clear instructions, well explained and great footage. Too often you find instructional videos missing vital steps! I note there are two deep torx screws either side of the bumper that is not easy to reach. Would have been great if you showed what you used to get to them.
Hey thanks for the amazing feedback and support, SOOO much appreciated. Yes there are three tricky 10mm bolts to undo that hold the side brackets on. Easier to take out with the wheel and arch lining off. I'll show them clearly on the reinstall video. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment. :D
No problem at all. It appears several people on the RS6 C& FB group have picked up on your videos too. Just the other day someone shared a link to one of your vids on the group.
Hi thanks for watching, unfortunately yes. You don’t need to take the whole rad pack off. You can just put it into service mode but you will need to take the front bumper off and headlights out etc.
Hey thanks for the amazing feedback, comments like you'rs make all the hours of work worth while, greatly appreciated. Just working on the final editing now for Part 2 so stayed tuned this Friday for more of the same :). Thanks for your support.
Fairplay pal - I'd be shittin a brick if i done this on my own................. at least now, if i have to do it at some point, i can refer to this!! Cheers m8.
Unfortunately coolant leaks are a common issue, easy to fix but a pain in the butt to get to as you can see lol. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, hope that doesn't put you off getting an RS6 or similar!
Complementi per il video devo fare lo stesso lavoro . Ma si possono smontare le turbine per accedere ? Perché io dovrei smontarle per eliminare i catalizzatori . E visto che ci sono cambi anche la valvola Pcv . Secondo te si può fare dalle turbine ? Grazie per la risposta
Ciao e grazie per aver guardato il video. Sfortunatamente dovrai rimuovere l'unità PCV per ottenere l'accesso completo poiché l'unità PCV si collega alla piastra che deve essere rimossa per accedere al filtro dell'olio. La rimozione dei turbo è una parte opzionale. Alcune persone li tolgono per un accesso extra, io scelgo di lasciarli al loro posto. Se dai un'occhiata ad alcuni degli altri video della serie puoi seguire l'intero lavoro dall'inizio alla fine, inclusi alcuni altri problemi che ho scoperto lungo il percorso quando ho smontato tutto. Grazie ancora per aver guardato.
Hi, no I didn't get any of those signs, in fact I think my PCV unit was actually ok in the end, but I changed it anyway for good measure. However I can confirm the suction that I got on the clip shown before changing it was the same after I changes it. These engines seem to have a lot of suck lol
@@InDadsGarage i am getting missfire and partial loss of water so I am straight to check sparkplugs and afterwards chargecooler , looks like a leak in there
@@InDadsGarage I am back mate. Well most RS6 C7 series have a TPI connected with the fault P2279 air leak that leads to the replacement of PCV or better name it "Oil separator" So found the issue over there :)
@@InDadsGarage Problems fixed ! Well Oil strainer changed and then my Water cooler was a mess like yours in the video ! Car runs fine like first day :)
Amico ho fatto il lavoro seguendo il tuo video. Ho risolto il problema della valvola Pcv Ma una volta avviato il motore mi ha acceso la spia epc (regime motore massimo 4000 giri/minuto. Codice difetto Diaframma collettore . aspirazione pilotaggio afflusso aria, bancata 2 Codice errore p200700 Sai darmi qualche consiglio ? Ti è mai successo ? Grazie per una eventuale risposta
Ehi, scusa il ritardo nella risposta al tuo messaggio. Hai risolto il problema, sfortunatamente non lo so esattamente. Che tu ci creda o no, in realtà non sono un meccanico lol. Molto probabilmente potrebbe essere che un sensore non sia collegato correttamente, li aggirerei tutti e ricontrollerei, in particolare tutti i sensori vicino alla presa d'aria, al corpo farfallato e all'unità PCV. Prego solo che tu abbia collegato i piccoli sensori sotto l'unità PCV prima di rimontare il tutto!! Cavolo!!!
Hi, pleased you found it useful and were able to give it a go yourself 💪. That codes for the Air intake temperatures. I would check all your sensors are plugged back in properly and try resetting the code. It’s most likely a loose or unplugged connection.
Hi thanks for your comment. Initially (and still do) had the smell of fuel in my oil, even after changing the HPFP's. I decided the change the PCV unit in an attempt to tick off possible problems causing this smell but also future proof the car from common failure points. While in there I decided to re-do the Audi oil strainer recall and replace the check oil valve underneath. Finally I have replace the thermostat housing (check out new video) and got the car back together. As it happened I didn't have any of the common PCV unit signs of failure so the unit was probably still OK, but they are know to fail around the 40-50K miles point, which is what my car is now on so a good job done. Thanks for watching
