I bought my friend a wrecked 2018 Audi S3 8V saloon. It has pretty bad front end damage and some damaged to the 2.0 engine. I can see alot of parts need replacing but what i dont know is if the engine is okay as i haven't started the car yet. Before i try to start the car theres alot we need to replace and fix. Fingers crossed its okay!!

It’s crazy to see the amount of stuff you get done in a single video. Back when you started it was 1 video per mod / job because you were doing it on driveways without the right tools, no experience ans a full time job. Now you can do an insane amount of work in a single video and pump them out multiple times a week!

You checked the intake ports in the engine and found that peice of plastic. What about then intake pipework? The one leading to the throttle body. Gravity would dictate pieces would fall down there into the pipework. Hopefully not. Some of the vaccum lines may be causing the PCV valve to open and shut constituting some clatter noise maybe ?

@Mr_Whippy92 2 жыл бұрын

If this is the case pull the plug and see if the electrode on the spark plug has bent from foreign body damage. Otherwise your route of swapping injectors and coil packs should point to some clues.

This should of been done really before he started it with knowing the inlet was damaged like that. And finding a piece wedged like that. With a high impact like that you can guess it would of been on boost so you can safely say that sucked in plastic

The newer type EA888 has direct and indirect injection. The injectors that Matt is pointing out are the indirect ones. Those help with cold start what the car is doing fine, besides cold start they are also helping with different loads but don't if it is just full load.

The ea888 engine have two sets of injectors. The smaller set on the intakes only spray at idle and low revs to flush the valves. I'd personally take the set off the original manifold and fit them to the new intake. The replacement set would need coding in.

@boerher 2 жыл бұрын

Would they? I only know that the older engines need coding for direct injectors, but the newer are self learning. Never coded the indirect injectors. Those which sitting in the manifold are the indirect ones.

Hey Mat, love your content and your energy in your vids! In my mechanic training (in Switzerland) they told us not to cut structural parts, more replace the whole section of the car. The front of the car has factory weakened sections, so that the engine gets pushed under the car, instead getting pushed into the cabin, incase anyone has a frontal impact. Thought you'd might appreciate the info ;) Keep up the good work, looking forward for more content to come mate.

Hello Matt, potentially needs a throttle body alignment sounds like something I once had, try turn the car to ignition and go listen to the throttle body, it should be making a high pitch noise, wait for that to go silent (should be about 2 minutes) and then try start the car, hope it helps!

Miss fire could be coil pack related. Having had a VAG product, coil packs are known to just let go, causing rough running, engine light and limp mode, other related issues like spark plug or injector could be causes. Aside from this, I don't think you did enough checking ofr inlet manifold ingestion. The clue is in the name 'inlet' meaning ingestion of small parts is possible. Great content though Mat.

@Arsh7r 2 жыл бұрын

Hi mate, that nocking noise your getting before the misfire is the Cam Magnets (on the side of the cam cover - left side of engine) they’re about £60 each from dealers and you will need 2. Had the same issue on my Golf R and it was them. These are very common on the MQB platform.

@graemecollie9233 2 жыл бұрын

Mat, common issue on all VAG cars is the injectors and coil packs, the injector baskets disintegrate because they're made of plastic so whilst you've got access, get them tested and refurbished with gauze baskets. Or simple test first, just change the coil packs around to see if the cylinder misfire moves to another cylinder, is so then its the coil pack. Might also be worth having someone walnut blast the carbon out of the intake manifold whilst you're about it.

I bought a Copart A1 that had a slight misfire, a breather had broken on bottom of inlet manifold, so changed it. When I removed it, the whole inside air tracts had disintegrated and were stuck in the valves. You need that inlet off again, and double triple check there’s no plastic stuck in there, small bits will wedge a valve open causing the miss

Matt, for the Audi to run perfectly, after removing the injectors you would be best to replace all the injector seals, also if you are not replacing the injectors the flow of the injectors should be checked because if an injector over fuels badly later it can damage the engine and possible cause an hydraulic lock in the cylinder, as you don't know the condition of the spark packs it would be best to replace them too and spark plugs too, the engine sounds fine and you don't have to code injectors they are mostly plug and play but be sure all power connections plug click in place or they will not work. Hope any of this info helps. 😎👍

I would say, certainly put the original injectors back first. So you can see how the engine is running then. Probably have a look in the cilinders with a small camera to see if there is any debries from the plastic left. And just for sure put some new spark plugs in. You can also try first to do a compression test, to see if any valves are damaged while there could be some plastic beaten through them. Keep the nice content going! 😄 If you ever need some help please contact me. I own a small workshop in the Netherlands and I’m specialised in VAG and BMW mostly electronical related.
