A lot of the cars that are cradle designs can be simple to work on, I have heard some Ferrari and McLaren master techs say its like 4 bolts, you drop the engine and subframe down as an assembly, do your work in 15 minutes, put it back up and bolt it back in.

BMW is still insisting on Inline-6s, which is very cool of them... not sure I'd still ever buy a BMW. Small Turbo engines are honestly the way to go though for the future... This Audi S6 is the prime example. A V10 is gnarly and cool, but it's a lot of reciprocating mass, they put 2 ECUs on it which made the electronics expensive and complicated, and there's all sorts of complex fuel delivery and oil filtration equipment that made the car very non-competitive and expensive to produce. Not to mention more cylinders is always harder to package tightly for weight and profiling, let alone in a sedan. V6 Turbos are kind of that prime meta right now. Just enough displacement to harness plenty of power, efficient in low RPMs for fuel economy and engine temp, but with turbos the same engine can manage 400HP. V6s can also be tightly packaged, and they can make a bunch of the same V6 for non-turbo economy cars, with transverse FWD mounting. If you want one of these V10 monsters, save up and buy a working one right now. Garage it and drive it on rare occasion, so you can enjoy it on your own whim. In a decade, they will all be gone- electric cars and mild-hybrids with 3, 4 and 6 cyl motors will be all the rage. The only V10 cars will be super-exotics like the Huracan and LFA. I guarantee the Viper will be killed off soon. It's sad, but automakers have to think about money and what sells to stay competitive.

when driving: "Damn a v10!" when paying to repair: "Damn... a v10..."

turbo engines are just full of friction and stresses. just wait till the maintenance begins on those cars. squeezing out power on weak engines bad combo

@@carlosqlv it is true, but when you do have to fix it... even if it's replacing the whole engine, it's a heck of a lot cheaper if that same engine is made for hundreds of thousands of economy cars. Replacing a V10 in this car basically requires dropping $15k on a new crate motor and praying to the Audi gods that one is lying a warehouse near you so the shipping isn't too bad- or cannibalizing another S6 or S8 for it's engine. Bigger engines will always be more expensive to care for. More plugs, coil packs, bigger and more complex intakes, exhaust headers, sensors, etc. Yes, you do harness more horsepower more reliably, especially with something like GM's LS motor. But... V6s are still cheaper, can be just as fun when done up right, can go in just about any type of car, and can be easily and cheaply turbocharged for extra go- at no cost to your MPG because low RPM doesn't spool the turbo. It's the happy medium for everyone. Just like with anything in life- going out of line and not conforming... is expensive.

Urgh why do cvts even exist

but once you go over the cost of 24 sparkplugs....what a car to drive.

@@Veikra Oh totally - amazing engine.

My '98 E55 was 16! And they hadn't been changed for ages. terrifying stuff

Same on my E550 😂 why tf does there really gotta be 2 plugs per cylinder

I own a W203 C320 and it's also twin spark. The guy at auto zone thought it had a V12 when i was buying spark plugs. . One of the most refined cars i've ever driven which is astonishing for an entry level model, and I've driven a lot of more expensive, newer cars from Bentley, Lexus, BMW, newer Mercedes and its comparable to those despite being almost 20 years old.

Intellectual Wino any tech who works on these on the regular could easily change those sensors with engine in . Find new shop !

Unfortunately, that's not true because of the location of the sensors compared to other cars. There are only 2 on each side that are accessible with the motor in.

Their WW2 tanks were the same! Not much dealer support in the Russian steppes!

@@garymills6702 tell me about it, Gary! Although the guys in Stuttgart learned the lessons of the Tiger and Panzer ans actually built cars designed to be serviced. AMGs are the way to go for low long term ownership expenses, particularly the cars with the M113 and 722.6 engine/transmission combinations... I think of my W211 E55 AMG as a Bf-109F... Not the fastest, nor most improved version of the breed, but the most balanced and easiest to service in the field...

@Stimpy&Ren Incorrect the W202 C43 AMG had a m113 4.3 engine. Also the C55 AMG.

I have a 334000 miles 4.2 audi . that`s 539000 km. (possibly the highest mileage a8l) No blown engine, not even a transmission or diff. They cost a lot, but last if you change the fluid. To put it in perspective, my audi S8 has roughly the same maintenance cost than my duramax

@@Veikra No timing chain/guide issues?, you are a lucky man! And dirtymax, ya...ok

I know a big company in the UK were a manager had one as his company car and after 3 trips to the Audi dealer for repairs he banned them being on the company car list even though the repair was under warranty, they always gave the repair sheet with the costs of each repair on it even though the total was zero.

Yeah. I won't own one either. I made lots of money repairing them though!! Since then, I've retired to the idyllic, zen-like peace of working on classic Cadillacs w/non-electronic carbureted 331's, 390's, 425's, 429's, 472's, 500's.... yeah that kind of stuff. I even have a factory "fuel injected" (🙂🙃🙂) diesel Olds 350 in a personally owned Eldorado Biarritz. It speaks calm to my soul.

My neighbor - guy, who has a doctorate degree in automotive engineering, worked for VAG, now runs his own workshop specialized in VAG products - guess what car he uses as his daily? Corolla E110 Of course, it's not his only car. Still, none of them is a VAG vehicle.

Yes his parts prices are absurd. He was about to make $800 profit just from the coils. Then he quoted $1k for carbon clean labor which means he charges like $300-$500 per hour. I hate dishonest shops. They really ruin it for all of the honest shops. He even swapped brand new spark plugs out instead of looking at the valves when he had previous experience with carbon buildup on these engines. Really slimy.

Aaron Lopez Was it a man that goes by the name Scotty 😏

@@_IMNNO Scotty mcscottyface

So true. It's one thing to build an engine on a bench in a factory with all new parts and specialised machinery at your disposal and something else entirely to dismantle and repair them in a typical workshop.

One thing I'll say about Audis: They are made to be serviced. No breakable clips holding things together. Extensively detailed manuals with special tools. Compared to all of the domestics I've owned, my two A6s were a dream to work on. You do need to love these cars to own them, though. They're not Crown Vics. 😂

Yea engines were also different back then, for starters everything was carbureted and Pretty slow. Not as efficient the list goes on. There also wasn’t much of a replacement for displacement. More power? More bigger! Which is not always the best answer.

Lol @ 'grammatically correctly'

but since you pay only the part vs someone who gets their car serviced, you end up with a v12 with ownership cost of boring cookie-cutter car. I have audi s8 , a duramax , isuzu impulse and a audi a8l. Im not bias to a brand and only buy reliable cars, work on them myself. The cost of parts for the S8 is relative, the duramax is just as expensive and it's a gm product.

Agreed. I work on my 07 s8 v10 myself and it's not too expensive parts wise. Most of the cost would be paying a shop labor rate to have these services done in the video.

Mercury never made a V12

Watch Hoovie's recent video on it. He shows first gear in all its grisly glory.

It's awful. I own a Honda with a DI engine, and man I wish I knew about DI issues before I got it. It's 4 years old and only has about 30K miles on it and I've already noticed a slight difference in the engine tone, which I'm almost sure is due to increasing carbon build up on the intake valves, despite the fact that I hoon it at least a couple times a month to try to keep build up low. I'll never buy a DI car again... they are ticking time bombs waiting to explode your wallet. At the absolute very least, I'd go for a car that has both port and direct injection, like what Toyota is doing with their current DI engines for example. The port injectors are there to spray the intake and keep it clean.

If you lightly supercharge these engines with 5-6lbs you could add a water/meth kit like VF-engineering does. Those valves will stay clean as whistles after that.

@@damieg82 you dont have a choice, they are ALL DI now. That's what the epa wants. So we have to put even more complexity with port injection injectors on top of DI just to keep them clean. I decided to bite the bullet and just get the intake out and clean it every few years

​@@4jrgolf Sure but the only audi v10 supercharger kit cost 40 000$ . And it's for a R8 so probably another 10 000$ to fit it in a S8

Its called walnut blasting, it is a popular method in Europe. These 2000s direct injection petrol engines all have this problem, especially those used in a city. There are a couple of videos here on youtube where you can see the full procedure and the results too.

great for blast cabinets too, makes old motorcycle parts look great

Still have to take it soarer to do it. That’s all labor costs.

Very common procedure on some BMW engines. Didn't know other makes could use walnut blasting too, but makes sense.

@Daver G Oh, I didn't know that it was that old - maybe they only recently started exporting it to Europe?

Buy a pre-owned SAAB 9-5 Aero and go to Rowland at Swedish Saab Service in Brooklyn. He only works on SAAB's, and knows them backwards and forwards. He's as honest as the day is long. My 2008 9-5 has cost me $2,700 since new in parts, labor, preventative maintenance, brakes, exhaust, O² sensors, DIC (Direct Ignition Cassette), MAF Sensor, and fluid changes. I own a SAAB because I found an honest mechanic in NYC.

Instead of any audi s6 i would recommend the b7 rs4. It uses the older r8 engine. And with a manual !!! So none of the shitty transmission problems

@@HRM.H Those have issues with the timing chain I believe. Which is on the back of the block up against the firewall, so engine out service for that car as well. Google a picture of "audi V8 timing chain", its the most rube goldbering looking pos I've ever seen.

@@AaronSmith-kr5yf @Thomas I've been looking for a S4 or RS4 of that gen. JHM Motorsports offers strengthened chains for that engine, which fixes the problem. I believe they also warranty it if you have them install the part. I absolutely want an S4 with the V8 as a driver/project car, the S6 is pretty much a relic- meant to be appreciated sparsely.

I'd love to see Car Wizard expand his Buy-This-Not-That series, into several different categories. He's getting better at them... although I would love to see them done in a more enticing video style.

Aaron Smith v8 s4 had chain issues, rs4 chain setup is much improved design.

All Audi’s are expensive do not buy unless you have $$$$$$

Never compare Toyota reliability with the Germans, their hybrid prius from the 90's still driving today!!

Audi is doing this now too, at least on my 2016.

Saif A I was talking about the Audi s6 v10 being awful. Not the corvette. This particular corvette has water leaking in through the t-top and the engine looked rusty, but I knew it would run better than the Audi.

Though the M5 V10 is by far the worst V10 in terms of cost and parts availability. There is no cheap alternatives to fix a S85. While the 5.2FSI in both the S6 and S8 have a more realistic approach to aftermarket OEMS making replacement parts.
