Welcome to another video.
This time we had this Audi Q7 with a 3.0TDI CRT engine booked in just for timing chain replacement as prevention. Car was behaving normally on roads and also there were no fault codes in the diagnostic. We proceed to work as usual so engine out. We inspected everything at the same time and we did find loads of carbon in the intake. Owner agreed to proceed with the extra work and once we were putting everything back together we found this ....Thanks for watching , if you want to know what's going on daily at our workshop you can follow us on instagram !

@petermolnar8667 8 месяцев назад

@@toeknee2u it's called the design life of a component, it would not make sense to test above a certain mileage/age so they make the cars with this sort of minimal lifetime... the funny thing is that the design life of say the old VE pump TDIs was probably less than what it is for these new engines, it's just that the simulation softwares (and computation capacity) have become much more accurate and widely available. So above this mileage anything can fail and the manufacturer doesn't really know what and when will likely happen. Nothing is designed to break! There's just a minimum it has to last.

And this is why I’m still running a 27 year old C4 A6. It’s now on 355k and the engine has never been apart. Will still go between 6k oil changes without topping up too. Making machines durable is a way of “saving the polar bears” that seems to have been forgotten.

@@highlandmalt6368 Smart man. And those factory 0w30 oils are a no go. Also recomended is to raise the variable oil pressure to 2+bar by an oil map remap. So many cars die too soon because of essentialy oil starvation and premature wear. For what You may ask? 3-6% ( at best ) lower fuel consumption. 😔

@Tom-und-Jerry 8 месяцев назад

My C4 A6 was delivered 18. Nov. 1994 with 140 hp 2.5 TDI 5-cylinder. It was one of the first 140 hp engines delivered as they started delivery at 1. Nov. 1994. At 75k kilometers I went to ABT and they did 160 hp on it. At 335k Kilometers I only changed the clutch, cause I had a lot of heavy trailer transports with it (there where marbles and tiles on the trailor mostly up to 2 tons often more) and it was a 6-gear manual gearbox. It was the most awesome car, I did only service all 15k kilometers which was likely all 8 weeks. NO repairs otherwise…. It just run. I gave it to my father at 335k and he drove it up to 500k then the engine broke, cause he missed to change the crankshaft bearing, which I told him to do. The change would have been easy and low cost, but anyway, that was the most awesome car. It was with full options and runs between 4.6 to 7.5 liters/100 km. But 7.5 only full throttle on german autobahn, which means up to 240 km/h Where is that green engineering now? What are the improvements? Bad working technics can‘t save the planet or polar bears and I can‘t see the better efficiency to that 1994 car…

@soundseeker63 8 месяцев назад

I will never understand the logic of designing engines in such a way as to gain 2 or 3% in mpg and emission reduction, but in doing so, rendering the engine scrap at less than 100k miles. Sustainability that is NOT! In fairness Audi/VAG are not the only offender, modern cars in general are full of this kind of short-sighted nonsense. But the whole thing is just so stupid on every level and ultimately it is the customer that ends up paying through the nose, as we saw here.

@paulwatts1704 9 месяцев назад

Great video - huge skill and professionalism evident. I ran Audis for 20 yrs (all S8's) but watching your videos I wont be doing so again... Great to see a preventative maintenance approach (like an airplane) here but the economics are surely questionable i.e. almost £10k spent on a car worth trade in of £25 - 27k? What is next to fail? Probably suspension pumps etc? Terrible engineering compromises to meet so called green targets; how many of these cars will end up in scrap yards at 10 - 12 yrs old as no one will be able to afford to maintain them. (Look at the recent SH values of decade old Range Rovers / Discoverys etc to see this). Finally, its the first time I heard of oil pressure remaps - very interesting / useful.

You, Sir, are a rare thing these days. A genuine mechanic and engineer, who thoughtfully diagnoses issues without simply throwing a parts cannon at fault codes. Fantastic explanation. This not being covered under warranty is disgusting when it is failure by design. When pathetic increases in efficiency are achieved by bad engineering that literally causes a whole car to fail and so costly it is not worth fixing, then the Polar Bears are surely doomed. I'm proud to drive a 25 year old 5.7l V8 LandCruiser that still runs like new, that by virtue of running forever, is actually the true saviour of the Polar Bears, as others will have bought 5+ "eco friendly" new cars in the same lifetime that this has simply drank a bit more fuel. Please tell me what's worse for the planet. An old (relatively) simple engine drinking a few more gallons, or making a whole brand new car from scratch every few years. What a massive con our governments and the big manufacturers are selling us. I'd like to see VW run that famous "if only everything in life was as reliable as a Volkswagen" ad campaign now and see the public reaction.

Thx, for making people aware of the pain of these variable oil pumps another not very effective fuel saving system that destroys engines.

Like is it really a clean engine when you have to tear it apart at 150.000-200.000 km, just to saving single digits reduction Co2 emission. I 100% support cleaner engines but the balance between emissions and longevity for sure took a wrong turn.

I have owned several Audis and have overall had amazing experiences, and with good maintenance and awareness they have been reliable. However, the direction they have gone has been a bit disappointing. I don't blame people for being hesitant to own one. Of course I still recommend them over BMW, because in a BMW everything around the engine falls apart, and you might also have problems with the engine. At least with an Audi, the car is good. But even so, I'll probably hold onto my old Audis instead of buying anything new from them. They just seem to have forgotten about the reliability and simplicity that made them famous in the '90s. Also, can't you prime the fuel pump instead of hashing that starter to death?

Only semi expensive maintenance I did recently was transmission fluid/filter at 113k which probably should have been done closer to 100k. Zf recommend every 50k for that which is overkill. Their 8 speed transmission is a tank. 80-100k because LOL vw says it's a "lifetime" fluid.. Smh.. Lifetime as in their leasing service warranty.

The timing chain will supply and fling plenty of oil to the cam gears etc. My approach with these V6 VW diesels has been to 1/2 the service internal for the oil and filter changes. Also reprogram the start/stop functionality to default off instead of on. Pretty much all of your issues will go away. I change oil at 7-8,00 kms max. They are an incredibly durable, efficient and powerful engine. Unfortunately many people run well over their service intervals (even with new cars) something you just can't do with these engines.

True blue ! My 2012 Touareg has 370K , had the usual valley leaks fixed/replaced, i run Dipathane fuel additive and will drop back my oil change from 15 to 8 , thks for info.

@olddirtyburt7522 3 дня назад

Both my Q7 and A7 get oil changes at 5k with liquimoly 4200 and napa gold filters. Fuel at 15k

These aren't being made to last, they're for the short term. No money to be made if people don't keep buying new cars. If everything was made to be repaired, then these engines would be engineered to make maintaining them easier. I'm surprised that with the amount of carbon build up, that this passed the emissions test on the MOT.

Thanks to the increase in the quality of modern oils, German engines showed only slight signs of wear after 850,000 km. In 1998, there was a big meeting of car manufacturers where they agreed that they would produce scrap , due to the economic circulation of money and parts. That is all guys. ✅✅✅Save planet. ✅✅✅

Enjoyed watching, such highly skilled workmanship but the old Audi story - lovely when brand new but a money pit when slightly older (after warranty expires). To have these problems after 80 thou miles is just not acceptable from a manufacture of expensive vehicles with such a long history. But then Mercedes and BMW seem to be going the same all in order to save the polar bears😊

@koford 9 месяцев назад

It's almost as if Audi knows there is a problem and is silent about it, and it's also strange that they don't change both sides and only one side. It is important that the customer reports this before the warranty expires. It is, after all, a very expensive car in the first place and you should expect them to last.

@SeanBZA 9 месяцев назад

They change the one side only, because it is cheaper, and would likely only change what isbroken, often telling the techs to reuse the old seals, guides and chains as well.

And this is why I now drive a Toyota after several try’s with VW and Audi. To be honoust, my Mercedes C220d wasn’t free of issues as well and a colleague with a Volvo V60 also has many issues. So I’m done sponsoring so called ‘premium’ brands and just bought a new RAV4. Of course, different in every way, shape and form, but so far I absolutely love driving without a care in the world. Great car!

@jabberwockytdi8901 9 месяцев назад

Either there is quality issue with these or there are actual engine design issues that are either that the gears are not sized correctly for the loads or oil feed is not sufficient. Don't think that is the variable flow pump as such and I'm not convinced an oil pump remap will make these last any longer. But hopefully the new part numbers are an indication Audi fixed something.......

@Cactusape 5 месяцев назад

Honestly, it’s so retarded to mess with the oil pressure for a few percent (if it’s even that much) of fuel savings. Oil pressure is the life blood of the engine. I’m a mechanic and not an engineer but you would think that an engineer had at least that much of an understanding, apparently not when it comes to VAG though.

@matsrekdal3065 9 месяцев назад

My god🙈 I have a 2016 A6 Allroad 3.0 TDI 211 hp, guess it's the same engine. A couple of Q's: Do i need to visit an Audi dealer to remap the oil pressure? Regarding the carbon build up in the intake manifold: Is an EGR delete a smart thing to do? Thank you so much for sharing this, even though i will never sleep well again.

@VAGTechnic 9 месяцев назад

Dealer with not sort out oil pressure , it’s costum You can delete egr but it might effect dog regen We advise carbon cleaning needs to be done mechanically first and than chemically with every oil change
