I don't understand the people who hate on Ant - he is not Edd but he is lovable the same in a different way.

I used to have one of these. Good god I don’t miss it. Audi has one of the tightest, most cramped, engine bays of any car I’ve ever worked on.

This video is why I changed my mind on getting one of these cars!

5:21 I love watching the parts getting cleaned 9:31 Release pin 9:35 remove the wrench 9:38 No Boom 9:41 Good Grenade

The video is a good insight into carrying out this job. However, the first time I did the crankshaft seal I lubed it with engine oil (as instructed above) and it slipped in with little resistance. After putting it all back together and starting the engine I had a huge oil leak around that seal. I then discovered from a different source that suggests you aren't supposed to lube the seal before installation. I removed it all again and tried a different seal (corteco) without lube and there was a lot of resistance this time. And now it doesn't leak. I hope this helps someone.👍

What this video showed me: Oil leak in Audi? Yeah ur gonna have to do a lot of work.

Everyone talks crap about how unreliable B5's are but they're awesome car's if you maintain them properly. The maintenance looks daunting but I saw a bunch of dudes at S4RW a few years back do the exact same job in a parking lot in under an hour. The car was racing that afternoon.

I just did the valve/ spark plug gaskets + rear cam seal plugs and was a PITA and took me 6 hours on a 2.8 engine.

All that work in under 10 min, absolutely spectacular

Terrific, I love technical videos such this one!

Oddly satisfying to see someone going trough this process aswell, i always pull out the engine on my s4, because of custom manifolds, k04s and etc. Saves me some time. You all should see the oil feed/ coolant lines on twin turbos in s4 2.7tt, any drop of oil or coolant on them - remove engine. Hahahaha

If you think that this is bad, try changing a crank sensor O ring,, or worse, the knock sensor on a supercharged mini cooper. Then once you're there you reach the point where you may as well change the water pump, the bypass valve, thermostat, and fit a reduced pulley to the charger, and new serpentine belt, and belt tensioner, and idler pulley, and idler pulley seal, and new radiator ballast resistor...and service the supercharger.

Jesus Christ that’s some work…knows his stuff this dude

I would suggest anyone doing a 2.7t timing shouldn't skip on using the crank lock pin. The plastic crank cover mark is to get you close to tdc and then inserting the crank lock pin gets you to exact tdc. Not using it is cutting out an important step. The owner is going to hate you for installing a squeaky Gates belt. And you are going to want to put RTV on each of the bottom corners of the new valve cover gaskets.

While you had it apart I would have done cam tensioner gaskets and cam caps, great video tho very informative

VW Dealerships service departments are the ‘ Highest Profit epicentre ‘ of the dealers operation.. This is a perfect example why !!!

Well I have a Audi A4 b5 2.4 V6 2000y.facelift and have the same problem here.Still leaking drop after drop :) but i still love my car.

Best to put the block bolt in to make sure the bottom end dose not spin....

This video made me cry

Step 1- Remove Engine Step 2- Change Hose Step 3- Install Engine 😂😳

This guy is unbelievably good

my brain is frazzled just watching this wow

Had a audi a4 a 04 timing belt went out. Enjoyed that car, but i would never get another one imo. Great all wheel drive system but too much on maintenance. Maybe im bias but unless you’re mechanically inclined or have deep pockets it’s not worth it.

What a brilliant presentation. Pete 🇬🇧

I really wanted to get an oldish Audi from ( B6/B7) or even an E90 BMW as they go for fairly cheap but it is things like this that scared the crap out of me and made me change my mind. On top of that they have lots of known issues .On my Toyota and previous Honda I could take care of most of the maintainence myself but this is just one big nightmare that I would not even attempt or even know where to start.

Ant has a certain amount of character but he's definitely not Edd China. Mike Brewer is the fly in the ointment!!

Darn...i need to do my turbos. Already did valve cover gaskets. Its engine out time!!!

The b5 s4 are such a job to drive!!! Is worth all the headaches when it comes to servicing the car😂😂😂

I don't understand why you didn't show the other side of the valve cover I like to watch the entire thing that's why I like watching you cuz you're detailed is great

Oil leak on an Audi S4? - Sell the Audi S4.

The 2.7 such a beast when she runs good and beefed up.but damn it can be a boat anchor😂

buy a box of matches and save alot of time

We had the same Audi avant in pearl white and the same issue. I was aghast when I stopped by the shop doing the work and the as this one, all the sheet metal front end was off.

...and check/replace your PCV system, the most common cause of oil leaks in the first place on these v6 engines

All that and you didn't replace the halfmoons under the chain tensioners?

I do miss Ed China but this guy is also a G! 🤞🤟💙🖖💙🤟🤞

Once again I can see that Toyotas’ are much easier to work on...

This is why I bought a Mercedes, 12 years and not a single oil leak or engine or transmission issue.

Love the Show, can you guys do a Mitsubishi Pajero Sport K96W :)

After the first 12 seconds of the video I just went fuck what have I got myself into 😂😂😂

Hear me out if you want a thumbs up from here on now empty to watch this channel start making the video longer and go for a drive before and after as well or forget it. Got it

I'll stick with my straight five AAN thank you very much.

9:41 Ant says:"no boom good granade"

Mike!! Where's the next part about Avant!?😮

Big fan Trinidad

i would not be able to put that back together lol

You don’t need a box of matches.. trust me.. you just need low oil pressure. Found that out 2 days ago... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙆‍♂️

Few major issues here you didn't replace the valley plug or the cam plug on the back of the camshaft that leak all the time and you didn't check your time in marks on your cams

Whilst I love watching the work on engines like this. I keep shaking my head. The motor in my car is a quarter of the size, has 3 moving components, doesn't need servicing and delivers more than twice the power and torque than this engine. I loved my 6.2 litre V8, until it blew up. ICE owners are like smokers, they know it's bad for them, but still keep at it.

An INTERFERENCE engine . Is a design that places the combustion chamber into the valve head . It's a cheap way to alter the displacement and performance of engine blocks.. he should know this..

Time for a new Audi...

How to fix VAG-corporations vehicles from leaking oil.... Get a car from different manufacturer

Good old Audis ball ache to work on, If I'm not mistaken the rs4's require gearbox out to replace a starter motor. Nice to drive but basic belts and parts need so much labour. When I have money to burn I will get an audi

Ant Anstead gives up silent movies to ham it up and repair cars through the medium of mime..!

7 grand for the car, $700 in parts, and 23 hours and over 4 thousand dollars in labor to instal those parts.😂 Gotta love Kraut engineering!🤣😂

Ce serait bien que l’émission a serai traduit en français ce serait très cool parce que j’adore ces émissions

"remember, it's a left -hand thread". I don't remember knowing that.

Don’t be fooled it’s not at easy as it looks especially if you are doing this as a full time job you’ll have the service writer breathing down your neck on a Friday because the customer wants his car ready for 3 day weekend trip to go snowboarding it’s 2pm and you are just getting the belt on the a/c machines is going to hold you up for an extra 40 minutes over time

I truly feel sorry for the weekend DIYer that follows this video as repair advice. They should really have a disclaimer on these vids "for entertainment purposes only". Plenty of better sources of information out there on repairing these engines that won't lead you down the path of having to do the job twice, or even worse a blown engine.

That service is worth as much as the car. $300 in parts, $2500 in labor.

can anyone tell me why (Wheeler Dealer) NEVER had Opel Monza GSE 1984 ?? It is a fun to good car if you have the right version!

Get a mark three mr2.. Do a video on how to adjust the handbrake... Thatll be fun.... 😂 😂

why did you lay the visco-fan down on its side?

pregunto, vuleve Wheeler Dealers a la pantalla? Porque lei que hace de OCT 2018 no graban.

Love wheeler-dealer 👍

No lo ahi en español?

Didn't see changing the water pump ?!

Almost any Japanese car, timing belt, removed and replaced 2hrs. VAG products , we have put it in the service position charge 3hrs. Over complicated engineered ass backwards and in the case here in Australia way over priced.

Eu quero olhar mas

Just click fingers and the rear main seal fixes itself!

Anyone knows a good mechanic for the Audi S4 B5

Its easy when you know what you're doing......🤨🤨🤨

Audi a4 b5 12v AAH engine 👍👍

Belting name for a piece of an engine.. Harmonic balancer

why go through so much hassle when you can just pour a £10 oil compound directly into the oil, to seal any leak, anywhere on the engine?

It's a process....but when you're TRAINED to do those jobs...that's why they pay you the $$$$....

Didn’t put the sealent on the corners of the valve cover gasket, will end up leaking!

Ant did a good job here.

Das Auto!!!

Tony Anstead

My video with the same title will be 0:03 long. Scrap the car.

What a miserable car to work on.

Español Español Español o Subtitulo Subtitulo

Look at that chain tensioner gasket leak...

DAM YOU AUDI !!!!!

Great video but Audi is too Labor intensive. no Audi for me but great to watch.

I mentioned that Mike and Ant don't know what does Avant mean in this episode. Avant means a combi car in Audi branded cars. It comes still from the early 80 models.

and.. they use plastic "in there"

Funny all these comments shitting on Audi. Might be alot of work but when things are good, they are VERY good.

Why are german cars so over engineered? Most car removing a few parts gets you to the problem.

That is why I drive a Lexus, fuck all that shit and money..

I have an ‘03 RS6. No room to work on anything.

Seen too many people with dermatitis on their hands in body shops and garages, use gloves !

ant ti voglio incintrare per dieri che A .S sono proprio io e mi hanno detto che hai intezione di venire a conoscermi qui in Italia e mi renderesri molto felice io sono la ragazza dei tuoi sogni e ti amo tantissimo

Wheres PAUL the proper mechanic who used to teach ed china

I thought he said "shit coated"..

Not estate, but avant

Gosh, what terrible engineering. Just horrific design

... but if it was a good grenade, wouldn't it.... Nevermind
