Great video, very informative. To explain why I am here, to potentially help others: My S3 8P started to run rough, poor idle with a hint of a misfire at idle. Checking coils and plugs, I can see oil has made its way out of rocker gasket down plug holes and oil is on plugs and reducing contact to coil packs. But why is this happening? PCV valve has failed, letting high pressure blow by into the head, forcing oil to find a way out of original 2012 rocker gasket, all around the edge and down the spark plug holes. New parts fitted to resolve: - PCV and gasket - Rocker gasket - Coil Packs (x4) - Spark Plugs (x4)
After watching your video, I think the next gasket down is the one that's leaking on mine ( valve cover gasket? ) a few drops of oil go onto the inlet manifold over time, so I'm not sure if that's a DIY job as who knows what I might find once I get started lol I'll get the engine cleaned up and then i should be able to what's causing the oil leak!
Another great s3 video Danny. Going to check the rocker gasket on mine now lol. Quite nice cars to work on to which is nice. Look forward to the next video mate. Take care.
Cheers Spence. To be honest mate I don't know how that gasket held on as well as it did. It was litrally flat. It wasn't even a bad job to do just male sure you get a new clip for that pipe and you are laughing 😎
Gallons per mile these Danny....?? these run on like vpower..s-unl 98... ? costs me like 100 squid to fill my mps... Attention to detail is spot on... its why we love you,,,:)(my mum) N x
Hey I have a bit of water coming down from the passenger footwell, looks like the plastic air vent, any chance you can make a video on what that could be
you seem to be very knowledgeable mate, i have a mk2 cupra r and when i let off the throttle when driving, my rpm needle will bounce up and down a little, doesnt happen when stationary, what could be the issue.
I'm sure it's connected to the throttle body pal yeah. Changed one out on the evo 6 but that was because it kept cutting out until it had warmed up. Danny
@@projectfearn thanks, I was looking at purchasing an 8p s3 now just trying to figure out what it can be, I owned an rs3 8p and recently sold that and bought a c63 amg w204 but I do have a soft spot for the 8p shape and looking to add an s3 8p to the collection soon as an rs3 8p is abit to costly
Nice video Danny, very informative, but boy do you like wasting money. No point in throwing money at Audi on those hardly used parts. If it's working, & no faults with no leaks, then leave it until it needs replacing. These aren't maintenance parts, & would only be replaced by Audi if & when.
I get what you are saying about the money but these will need replacing eventually and I'd rather do it now for peace of mind and know that the car is being maintained and looked after to the best of my ability pal. I'd rather swap out the parts now rather than wait for them to fail plus it adds to the cars already amazing maintenance history. So I can kind of see the money spent as investing in the car should I ever come to sell it 😎
Wasted your money on the diverter valve. The one you need to replace are the earlier ones with a rubber diaphragm that breaks up or gets a hole in it. The one you removed is the revised version and doesn't need to be replaced.
@@projectfearn PCV kit was febi bilstein and DV is vw oe G version. What i miss now? When i clear codes epc light and p0190 fuel rail come back all time.. Not safe to drive now?
