Modified Audi Trouble! No Crank, No Start (Audi A4 2.0L) 

No money shot 😢

​@@SouthMainAuto your crusties sense was tingling.

Holy crap. There he is. I'm star struck. Lol

I love me some green 💚

Haha, yep!

The reality is most dealers / shop don’t even come close to the level of care and experience that is shown in this video :( It’s the norm to scam customers these days… I’ve wasted over 5k listening to them and every, single, time… my problem remains and nothing is improved or different… infuriating

Love that Steely see you in Vegas🎉

Appreciate the constructive criticism! We will definitely try and work on that and get better! 👍

@@theroyaltyautoservice NO!!! Don't change a thing PLEASE!!! Sooo interesting...Feels like we are rushing and trying to find a solution with you !!

Hahaha, I wish!!

@@theroyaltyautoservice 😂😂 we gotta get Bernie and Jeff on this ha

Extra labor needed to be approved probably. Also, needed to confirm the relay was/wasn't working.

We hope you like our content. 👍

That’s the most likely giveaway item for sure! 👍

Yeah that’s right. Seriously cool !! 🎉

That is the top don phoenix lite 2. I have the same one. It is a great scan tool.

Phoenix Lite

So your repairing other mechanics mistakes?

I’m farther into the video. I absolutely love my UActivate 35:53

I have seen this also on Audis when drain holes in the plenum get plugged and the plenum fills w/water.

@@johnmac9055 also it’s need to check drainage on sunroof to I mean this part of maintenance every 20k should be checked and cleaned but we know who this goes

Squeezing in and out of the car was driving me nuts! I was yelling at my phone...MOVE THE CAR!! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

We have a naval base right down the road, so this does happen from time to time with a lot of younger military guys. Thanks for watching!

I respectfully disagree with this as a blanket statement, poorly installed or cheaply made parts can make a car less reliable sure. People will always customize their vehicles, and have every right to do so, as long as it does not disable or delete any emissions equipment and have not made the vehicle dangerous in anyway to drive on public roads. For a dedicated track car or a display only vehicle you’re only then they are only restricted in modification by the class they want to run in. Back to modifications and leaving a a car factory, I don’t know your background or the vehicles you like to drive or if you even care what you drive. OEM’s need to build and install calibrations into the their vehicles ECU that can be used in all different climates and altitudes be it a North American vehicle or a global market vehicle. Often times they just don’t get it right and in many cases the vehicle reliability, performance, and drivability suffers for it. I’ve yet to see a vehicle (even some exotics) who’s drivability couldn’t greatly improved upon with a little simple smoothing out the some of the critical maps in the ECU. Then you get into the VVTI, VCT, VTEC, Mivec, etc systems or the Electronic Throttle Body maps and simple safe adjustments to these can make a car a lot more responsive and a safer car is one that you can give you confidence when accelerating and braking This goes into parts added to you vehicle, which in the case of many of the newer vehicles on the market are now coming with turbocharging from the factory, you want to discuss reliability and consistency. Take a new GDI with a turbo for instance, problem one they are gasoline engines that are direct injected. Fuel injects directly into the combustion chamber not into the intake manifold through the intake manifold. Unless you have a walnut blaster machine to clean these valves or are pulling the manifold in some sort of maintenance interval, you can damage that engine, funny how none of the manufacturers have this listed in their maintenance specs, speaking GDI especially ones with turbochargers, all GDI vehicles come with the risk of a phenomenon called LSPI, which is another engine destroyer, 3 of the best possible things you can rod to prevent are - Never lug your engine along meaning load at low RPM, -Install a Air Oil Separator or well designed set of OIL Catch Cans to stop all that crap getting run back through your engine increasing potential for not only LSPI but carbon build up a So -Change your oil often, very often, no more then 3k often, which your manufacturer tells you 6, 8, 10k. You’ll be lucky if your car makes it to 100k. For a GDI engine you’re safest to choose a proper 100% Synthetic oil of the Group IV, V variety that’s been tested extensively and has passed GM’s LSPI testing guidelines. Which are oils that you’re not buying from, your local Walmart that say Full Synthetic. Full Synthetic is NOT 100% synthetic oil. -Lastly you can help to combat against LSPI with some good ECU mapping, BTW im 44 and one of my modified vehicles is over 20yrs old, has never left me stranded, and is making 2.5X the factory claimed HP and TQ figures to the tire, and still has the 100% factory drivetrain and block, con rods, and pistons. clutch and cylinder head are upgraded with better then factory components as well as is every suspension, fueling, amd ignition component in the vehicle. Key is to maintain your vehicle and it will last for you. Unless it’s a Kia, don’t buy a new Kia opening the door has been known to explode the engine

as long as you purchase good parts and don’t do stupid modifications, i believe your statement isn’t necessarily correct. some tasteful mods can improve cars. there are a few mods on these vehicles that actually improve them.

I’m with you on leave it alone,if the factory thought those mods would make the car perform better they would’ve done it themselves but what do I know I’m only a Toyota,Chrysler,Nissan and BMW factory trained master mechanic of 40 years and counting.

You think it was reliable before the mods? You don’t know used Audis at all.

and my car cranks still

Very carefully. 😬😃

Yep

That’s strange. It is showing up for us. Let us know if it’s still not there for you.

😅 He has one. This was very spur of the moment and he just got into it a lot and was trying to help out Andrew who was really busy at the time.

It's really helpful for direct injection cars as it helps keep the valves clear. You can run it without a tune even if you want. Perfectly safe and worth it.
