Welcome to second video of the RS4 B7 After a bit of a shock , costumer did approve the work what needs to be done. So we get to it.... link for part 1 : • Audi RS4 B7 the LeGeNd...
@@_LuisS Ask the guys who own the B5 S4, 5 valves per cylinder!!! How many cars on this planet have that??!! Drive one and you won't even look at the RS cars!
Gentlemen you are like surgeons, everything laid out in order of use and assembly,first class work you are a credit to your trade. Please keep the videos coming and stay safe.
Your skill level impresses me every video, such complex engines that aren't hurried back together you manage to get the customers to allow you to fix it properly. Sometimes expensive repairs done right, are the cheapest repairs you ever have done.
Awesome video, love watching people work on the b7 rs4 they are my dream car, a super sleeper saloon. so glad I got one back in 2016 with 91k miles for $26k, best deal I ever got on a vehicle. Now I'm just working on retrofitting a DL-501 dsg transmission I have into it. One day I'll have the only dual clutch b7rs4. Then it's time for the fun stuff like quad turbos and water/meth injection.
Great skills man . I've had my B7 for years she's a complete drama queen .Always wants something . But everything you have see or read about them is true . They are epic epic machines .
that was a first class video , and a first class job , clean and methodical , no short cuts and no that will do , but boys the costs must add up at an alarming rate.
Great video. For the amount the owner was spending, he really should have chose to fit sport cat or even catless downpipes. The OE ones are SO restrictive on the B7. Mine mad 390ps with OE ones and no carbon clean and now makes 450PS with catless DP’s, carbon clean and map.
All Time European Car & People (Engineers) Lover. I love your Work. The quality 😅 of Work and parts you put into the Cars. Sharing the inside Info. I like Watching your videos.
Must admit, lots of people bag the BMW's because of the amount of work to fix oil leaks. They really need to see this video and the labour it takes on the Audi. Makes my Beemer seem pretty easy by comparison.
@@jibmaster haha o god your right ill shut up I thought you just meant the b7 rs4 as a whole , sorry buddy 🙏🤣I will wind my neck in lol your right only saloons in the u.s ,
@@MICHAEL-wg2lh lol no worries dude. The US market wanted SUV's-not wagons, is mainly why we never got them imported. Totally lame. I built a RS6 clone out of a C5 allroad 6MT one time. It was close to 450hp and one of the fastest cars I've driven to this day. Long gone and NOT missed. Cheers.
@@jibmaster it is interesting how the u.s seems to miss out on a lot of " wagons " / estates as America usually has everything , I guess demand wasn't there I suppose, the RS6 clone sounds good and can't beat a manual I hate the way 90 percent of performance cars don't have full manuals these days guess I'm getting old lol , take care bro
Been looking at these with a budget up to 18k but these videos scare me with most repairs needing the engine to be taken out 😢 Great videos nonetheless
It's amazing to compare a small-block Chevrolet V8 from mid 1960s to this engine and marvel at the simplicity of the Chevy. I mean, I know the Audi's specific output is miles better, it's more efficient and infinitely cleaner but the engineering and maintenance cost to get there is incredible.
If I got a phone call from the mechanic, after all that incredible technical work, to tell me a coil spring is broken I would be high fiving my buddies.
I used to like German car engineering. After loads of quality problems in recent years, I've walked away from them. I get that many love the excitement and fun of these performance cars and aren't too bothered about reliability. Looking at this timing chain arrangement makes me think the German designers have lost their way over the years and created really messy engines. This lot could be redesigned in much simpler form. I guess this would miss the whole point of lovely complexity. Good video, thank you
Ahhhh! At last, a B7 RS4 in your channel. Got a good chance to see your best work. Hats off!. I have a question about B9 RS4/ B9 RS5 engine, is it possible to clean intake valves using walnut blaster without lowering the engine down? Look forward to hear from you?
Great workmanship. New to the channel and enjoying the content. Im an auto electrician by trade and i oray that i never have to remove a starter on one of these. Sits in a bad place hahaha
Why did it bent the valves? Timing chain guide (plastic) broke? Also why aren't the pistons replaced/inspected? This was significant contact maybe the piston's integrity or its gudgeon pin is affected.
You should really only prime those engines for oil with the spark plugs out, the engine will spin faster AND you dont run the risk of killing the 40 hour starter on that thing, other than that great work you guys are impeccable
Really? So when the engine is fully put together and every morning it starts you risk a failing starter because the sparks are in since they’re required for normal operation?
@@Dmxraviner, yes. That’s what wear & tear is! As with all wear & tear items (clutch, brakes, etc), the less you use them - and the less you stress them, the longer they last. The starter normally spins for around 1 second before the engine fires. It’s unlikely that the design brief allowed for long-duration cranking.
@@Dmxravin that is very true, however it’s reasonable to expect a starter motor to last at least as long as the engine. The bigger question is what happens to it when it cranks for 40x what the designer envisaged. You can burn out a clutch in 200000 miles or 20 seconds. The evidence on what a starter motor can tolerate is less obvious, but these guys seem about as conscientiousness as they come so is it fair to say there’s no problem?
Dobrze Great video , but my eyes started hurting watching the minimal to zero lubrication on the timing chain and tensioners and cams etc, as you no doubt know turning over a rebuilt engine for just 5 seconds can do 5yrs of wear damage if not correctly lubricated, do you think you primed all your essential contact surfaces enough?
Hey since you guys are the Audi Gods.. How reliable is the 4.0T powerplant in the C7/C7.5?? Engine wise does it also suffer timing change issues and failed rocker arm?? What's the first to go??
I had a 2004 Audi S4. The car is notorious for its all-plastic timing chain guides which eventually break, resulting in major repairs. The common wisdom all over the forums is to replace the chain guides before they break with RS4 parts which are metal with a plastic wear surface, and to never buy an S4 unless you get proof that the timing chains system was upgraded with RS4 parts. I see that this STILL doesn't fix the issue. What a POS.
The sad thing about these cars is that they are becoming more affordable to buy but not affordable to maintain.99% of local workshop will never do timing chains on these.thats the main reason ive not bought one.there A few mint one popped up local for sale for around £25 k with not bad mileage but theres just no one where I live that will work on them.them shipping it away for work is where the money comes in.
Hey! Great channel, wonder why you don’t have many more subscribers. Q: I have a Passat b6 and the tool I got for timing didn’t really fit. Is a 2.0 tdi bkp. I got it correct but the tool for the crankshaft was only in half way. Enigine sounds great after timing, I just would like to know what tools to get? Thanks.
Really great car, I would love one, but surly the limiting factor is a v8 engine in front of the front axle when would be better if it was behind the front axle?
Well, sure, but that's where the engine goes in all Audis (apart from the R8)? 🙂 At this point it's tradition I guess and they don't want to redesign it to an XDrive-style all wheel drive system where the driveshafts go through the engine sump.
The mileage of a car is irrelevant. Everything can be repaired/replaced and even a high mileage car can still drive n feel like new. My B7 A4 2.0TFSI has 160k on the clock. Timing chain is getting done in the next couple of weeks because I want to keep my car and get it over 250k. RS4 is the dream machine, but its MPG is not! haha Edit: Your workshop is looking great btw 👍👍
