Welcome to another video.
This time we had two RS5 convertibles delivered in one day. Blue ones with over 70.000 miles have oil, coolant and few other issues. Grey one very low mileage only 36.000 in nice condition. Unfortunately someone with no education worked on the car before us and this is what we found.
Thank you for watching. .

So pleased the grey car is ‘just an oil leak’. I used to own it and loved to look after it, like you would not believe… Good spec/Low mileage car too 👍🏼

the oil leak helps to reduce the corrosion on the frame...

Instead of fire you can use a induction heat tool. I like the way you work on these premium cars, like a premium mechanic

use to have one but it never last long ... have to find proper one

@jabberwockytdi8901 11 месяцев назад

For brake pipes etc. that are plastic coated and siezed into the tube nut you can usually use a hot air heat gun for enough heat - as soon as the plastic coating on the pipe starts to soften you can start to work the tub nut loose. If a torch is required e.g. top link bolts I often use plumbers heat mats and or scraps of ally sheet or car heat shield to keep the flame away from rubber etc. Wear a decent mask ! don't want to be breathing in brake fluid vapour or zinc fumes etc.

@ikess1 11 месяцев назад

Yup . All of us spanner twirlers have our own way getting that damn bolt out . I've even advised replace the whole damn upright at times . Great fun that bolt.

@peterphilipse8792 11 месяцев назад

That upper pinch bolt is a killer.

@VAGTechnic 11 месяцев назад

Not if you know how to do it 😀

@sarcastixx74 11 месяцев назад

Removing the bolts from the upper arms where it meets the top mount first makes it a lot easier as it takes the tension away from the 2 balljoints that the pinch bolt is resting against. If needed the whole knuckle arm can then come out which gives much better access and leverage.

I cannot believe you are not able to replace the rivnuts in the plastic (or metal if needed). These kits are readily available most places. Another informative video. When I watch these, I get to appreciate my X5 Beemers even more.

You guys are the best - some of this work overlaps with the stuff I have to do with my dad (Lexus tech) on my S4, especially the bushings, random audi-specific diagnostic (ie. DRC, Check Valves in old videos, etc.). Love doing the work and see it in a vid and knowing we thought right. Total experts on this channel.

@killervm1234 11 месяцев назад

We never replace just the bushings at our shop. We replace the complete arm since that ball joint is going to start making noises very soon. We work on every make and model and Audis and VW are the most hated brand here. engineers really hate us 🤣

The owner of this car is brave letting a so-called mechanic of that standard loose on a car of this sophistication. It's possible the mechanic was Trabant factory trained, I think he was a bricklayer. You've save another Audi owner, well done.

@sarcastixx74 11 месяцев назад

Always wondered why Audi never followed the same way as BMW did with their undertrays. On my old E46 M3 there were access flaps built in to the trays that clipped in/out to allow much easier oil and level sender changes. Doesn't add too much time to the job but oil changes on my B8 S4 are longer due to the front tray having to be fully removed. And those self tappers holding it on always start slowly disappearing eventually (depending on the garage used lol)

@khalidacosta7133 11 месяцев назад

Audi engineers found a better way. The engines leak so much oil, with constant top ups, the oil is always new ;-) "Lifetime fluids"

Totally agree with you. Once you get the hang of it you can whip the tray off quickly, but nevertheless it crossed my mind to create a access port on my rs4.

Amazing work man! Really enjoy it. I daily a 2010 S5 V8. I tried to apply all tips knowledge and focus like you guys do when I work in mine. Also, you mentioned is not good to drain the oil with the engine cold, why is this? When is warm I guess you can drain it easily and more quantity? Thanks!

@jabberwockytdi8901 11 месяцев назад

It amazes me people will take cars like these to the kind of cowboys that will hack a car around like that. At the very least you give the customer the option costs "x" to do properly and save "y" with a short cut so customer knows up-front. Either way no excuse for not making sure the sump plug isn't leaking.

Interesting channel, new subscriber here. I'm a longtime BMW enthusiast / mechanic, and I'm somewhat surprised that Audi uses ceramic cats where equivalent BMW (E39 M5 / E60 M5 etc...) use metallic cats, which are vastly superior. But then I'm not surprised as I'm shocked with some of Audi engine designs, especially the with timing chain. Yes, BMW has its own problems, but man, Audi screwed up royally with some stuff.

DRC pipe leaking - now that sounds like a typical RS5 :( my 2015 has had both front pipes replaced recently 2 years apart by Audi main dealer because no one has a DRC pump machine. I now know where to take my RS5 when something else goes wrong.

@dan2fast4you21 11 месяцев назад

I would of thought that the DRC tool for a shop like yours would be a viable investment. It’s around 600£. My DRC will probably go sooner rather then later so I looked up at my options and came across the official tool and a DIY option using a hydraulic hand pump.

@greenaddictiongarage3236 10 месяцев назад

Is it just UK cars or is the bushings used by Audi just not great quality. They don't seem to get much life before needing to be replaced?

@speedshed 11 месяцев назад

Will all RS5 B8’s have cat problems or is it just some, is it age and or mileage related? When you replace the cats do you cut the can and replace internals only? If so can you give me a link to the part and is that a permanent fix? I noticed you used a borascope to see inside the cats when still on the engine. Where about gives you access to feed the borascope down to investigate the cat internals? Love watching your vids, your knowledge of these cars is amazing.

Age related , we use German company directly for Euro 5 high flow cats
