Justin, you've helped me install countless upgrades for my B5 S4, including installing a motor with Borg Warner K04's. I praise your efforts and I am very pleased to have such a good DIY-teacher. You're a legend From Australia
Justin thank you so much for doing these vids. Got a really good deal on a s4 that needed a timing belt job. Your vid talked me through it with ease. I really appreciate the details on the car's and vids.
Another invaluable video to help the DIYer, thank you very much. Also for the flywheel/clutch bolts... on other cars I have someone hold the crank pully on the other side.
This helped me swap a new 2.8 motor into my A4 a while back, Figured id say thanks! Still was a pain but it helped a lot knowing what I was getting into minus the turbos and extra "cool" S4 bits.
I know this process all too well. Really like those trans guide pins you made. That would certainly save me some grief next time around.... which I hope is way off in the future!
Thank You so much for this, I might be tackling this very soon. I will be replacing the rear main seal, clutch and flywheel with bolts. Am I missing anything else in that area that should be addressed. Thanks!
hey Justin your videos are wickedly awesome, where r you located. I want to get my 2.7t rebuild for a stage 3 set up. would you accept a job if I am able to ship you out my engine. it be a great video for u to post if you like.
Hi Justin, do you have to replace the copper banjo bolt washers when replacing turbos? Any other tips for working with banjo bolts? Do I need to mark them prior to removal so I know they'll flow properly when reinstalled?
Justin, i've noticed on my car that on BOTH sides, the metal tubes connecting to my K03 inlets near the compressor have both popped out of the hole on the K03 inlet pipe (you can see one side at 19:45 for example). I think one of them was my fault doing new ignition coils. Any suggestions as to whether to try and manhandle/pop them back in from the top, or from underneath the car (with the engine still in place)? They seem very hard to get to from either, and the rubber hose (that goes over the valve cover/ignition coil) and attached thin metal tubes are dangling loose on both sides, causing I suppose either a vacuum leak and/or unfiltered air to enter the system. My gut is telling me to try to reach down from the top and see if I can blindly pop them back in? What are your thoughts? Also any way I might re-secure them?
Hi Justin, Quick question: Using this video to take apart my 2.7apb 01E tranny on the Allroad. there seem to be three 8mm hex bolts on the tranny underside. The two on the passenger side came out with a snap. the Driverside seems resistant. Should all three come out? Also, I have used all of your videos at some point. Do you have a Patrion account or other means to send you some compensation for your work?
hey Justin i have a question, can i use standar bolts for the "pressure plate' does it really matter if i dont use oem bolts to re install the 'pressure plate' ? i am doing CLutch on my stage 3 S4
Thanks so much Justin and i never will be cheap to this car, i treasure this beast i can honestly say it's my dream car and it's a real mans machine. Thanks alot for the quick reply keep the videos up i'm glad to see you aren't scared to work on these cars, a lot of the mechanics are now a days.
Hey, Justin, I know it's been along time since you did these. I am getting ready to put my motor back in my car. I followed these videos, but as I am ready for it go go back in, I have a plug that I can't seem to find where it goes. It's one of the three off the back, not the speed sensor or the one that goes into the transmission. 6:50 I see it there off the back going upwards, but I can't seem to figure out where it goes. Any insight would be great, really appreciate these videos.
