We've replaced 3 of these engines in the last two years in our small VAG only shop. 2 locked up solid, 1 let rods out in spectacular fashion, but they all had seized rod bearings. Rods out had 42k miles, bought new, never tuned. First seized had 152k miles, dual pulley with tuning. In the end we traced all 3 back to the HPFPs leaking gasoline into the engine oil. We pay very close attention to the smell of the oil when doing oil changes on these engines now.

Great teardown & commentary Charles. The crank and the lower con-rods certainly got very hot due to oil starvation. the discolouration and blackness is both burnt oil staining & evidence of very hot steel. The bearings & bearing material that looked welded to the crank also supports the starvation hypothesis.

That would certainly do the work showing on this one.The whole engine seems like engineering gone wild with over-complications. Exactly what I thought of my 1979 BMW 530 and wife’s 1978 320: they just kept adding parts and systems to accomplish the job, but no one ever said “OK, now let’s see how simple we can make it.” I hated working on both those cars and have never seen anything like them before or since.

Hi. I have a problem with this engine in my S5. If I rev it over 5k it starts "burping" in a similar fashion as it does when you change gear, but constantly. If I keep revving, it loses power, doesn't respond to throttle and goes to idle vibrating weirdly meanwhile the EPC and Engine Light come on. I have to shift into neutral, stop the engine and restart it for it to work again. Anyone know what it might be? I've asked around in shops and nobody knows what it is. I use premium gasoline fuel.

It seems the PCV is an issue too, what would the maintenance interval on that be, 60,000 miles?

@@TassieLorenzo Tbh, I don't have much experience or knowledge on Audi services. My only suggestion is check all fluids regularly. And it's at the discretion of whoever is doing the check whether the fluids would need changed. And the only reason I'd say the fuel pump would need to be replaced is if there is an issue related to it. Like hard starting, running rough, or not staying running very long. Typically any kind of engine that has a cam actuated high pressure fuel pump is going to have a reduced service life of the timing components because of the extra force the pump puts on it. And all services are also dependant on how much driving or what kind of driving you do. Do you drive it from your house to the store every day? Or do you have to drive hours on the highway for work? Do you spend a lot of time idling in traffic or at a job site? The shorter distance trips usually have less of an impact on the life of fluids, but can have an adverse effect, especially with engine oil, if the engine hasn't had time to warm up to temp. Long distance constant speed trips are almost ideal for fluid life. But things like engine oil, trans. fluid/diff fluid will have a reduced life. And constant low speed start/stops with a lot of idle time is arguably the hardest on any fluid or parts. Because with no cool air moving through the radiator or around parts, it generates a lot of heat. Which breaks down the fluids and related parts faster. Again, I'm no Audi specialist by no means. But it shouldn't be too hard for an experienced technician to know upon visual inspection whether a fluid should be replaced or not. Some parts can be tricky to diagnose without first having to remove and inspect. Which some parts on some vehicles can be a few hours of work just to get to a simple part. And then there's having proper equipment to do a proper diagnosis. The equipment you have is essential to making a good diagnosis. You can have all the knowledge in the world on how to fix a car. But if you don't have the equipment to get the information you need to make a proper diagnosis, it makes it very hard to get by on educated guesses. It doesn't pay to have to keep guessing at what the problem is. Then it gives you the dreaded title of "parts hanger". Just throwing parts at it until it's fixed. Most of the time, the parts you replace would have needed to be changed anyway. But if it doesn't fix the problem you set out to fix, it doesn't look good for whoever is doing the work

Literally once you got inside the motor especially the dirty crankcase, I knew it would be one of the last rods seizing it up. Just dealt with it myself on a customer motor it also seized the last rod due to low on oil. It seems when oil levels get too low its usually the very last rod that seizes first because it the farthest away from the oil pump. In his case once I unbolted the culprit rod, the whole thing including rod bolts came right all apart. He not only seized it up from low oil, but he tried several times to clutch drop going downhill it to start it again (manual acura integra) and I think that action stretched the rod drastically.

When you pulled the oil pump, it looked like it got hot. From what I could see, the oil pump failed and the con rod bearings and seizing were the fallout of a failed oil pump. *Pay close attention to the oil pump at 11:16. You'll see the discoloration

I got a steal on a 60k mile engine 5k cash and they usually go for 7-8k for around that mileage … and all the shops told me ot would be cheaper just to buy a used engine than to rebuild .-.
@handycrowd Жыл бұрын
All boils down to who's doing the work. This wouldn't have cost much in parts (if you just throw new bearings and rings in it) and machining (assuming that there are no cracks or warped blocks etc from the heat) and being able to reuse the pistons, cams etc.... Might have needed a new crank though. But those hours of labour at shop rates add up real quick.

That engine is amazing, one of the best on market imo (B8). Also theres barely any carbon build up very nice~ Just goes to show no matter how good the engine, if you dont lube it properly it aint gonna be happy (this is also why you ALWAYS upgrade everything if you give it more HP, in this case with the stg 2 tune so increase of 180ish to take it to 500 hp from 333 hp)

Who ever owned this thing most probably tanked it ice-cold - pedal to the metal. Just because you can buy something doesn't mean you understand it. The carbon sud usually builds up by doing a lot short-distance driving. TFSI engines are more prone to that due to DI. Carbon build-up on older engines get constantly flushed away. The super-tiny oil holes in the super-tiny piston rings (for saving a ridiculously small amount of fuel) are also prone to coking. Here in Germany many engine-pros put the pistons on a lathe and enlarge the grooves for fitting proper piston rings. The small stock intercooler on an upgraded turbo engine does no damage - you just lose a few horses.

Same thing happened to my Stage 2, Golf R a few weeks ago. Wasn't railroading it, had super fresh oil in it, just driving home and at about 20 mph in the neighborhood, developed a very obvious knock, pulled in garage shut down. Next day, fired up again, and knock there. Flat bedded to my mechanic, and it turns out spun a bearing. Sooooo frustrating!

Love your Videos! As a ex Audi and Porsche Mechanic and Enthusiast I can say those 3 Liter Supercharged Engines are usually very reliable. the biggest issue is usually the thermostat or waterpump which is easy to replace once you remove the supercharger (which can be removed in 30 minutes). Ive seen a tuned S4 that had the exact same failure of rod bearings. I kind of felt that in the beginning of the video. I owned a SQ5 with that engine and would buy another Car with this engine in a heartbeat. just do a APR software tune and call it a day. Probably overheated as well and the oil change intervals have not been done on this one for sure.

Hi. I have a problem with this engine in my S5. If I rev it over 5k it starts "burping" in a similar fashion as it does when you change gear, but constantly. If I keep revving, it loses power, doesn't respond to throttle and goes to idle vibrating weirdly meanwhile the EPC and Engine Light come on. I have to shift into neutral, stop the engine and restart it for it to work again. Anyone know what it might be? I've asked around in shops and nobody knows what it is. I use premium gasoline fuel.

Those are great motors when properly maintained. Bought mine years ago with 35,000 miles. Currently at 240,000 miles and doesnt skip a beat. Ive always changed the oil religiously every 3500-4000 miles with 5w-40 full synthetic. It has had a few leaks over the years that ive fixed but nothing too serious that I wasnt able to do in the driveway on a Saturday. Other than that, been very good to me and I love it. Wouldnt think twice about driving it coast to coast still.

Replaced battery, starter, water pump, thermostat, radiator, tires. Both trucks need ball joints soon, also tie rod ends. Had a 1997 Chevy Cavalier 2.2 with 400,000 miles on it- And a 1988 Honda accord with over 1 million miles. I replaced the clutch in that Honda. 4th clutch.

@blewyd dang bro, you rack up the miles! Haha 1 million miles on an accord is impressive. My first car in high school was an old 91 beater accord. Bought it with 420,000 all original drive train however the engine developed a bad rod knock just before hitting 500k. Rebuilt it myself and drove it a little while longer before selling it. Aside from my Audi with 240,000 mentioned in my original post, My 2002 F250 7.3 diesel is at 376,000 as of now with no major work, my wife's 2010 Volkswagen Touareg is just about to hit 200k and it's never needed a single thing done to it aside from routine maintenance. Also had a 98 silverado 5.7 vortec that made it to about 350,000 before it started crapping out all over the place. Folks don't realize how long a vehicle can last with proper maintenance.

I also watch another youtube channel with a weekly random engine teardown. I'm very convinced that the majority of car owners are not changing their oil frequently, or even keeping tabs on their oil levels. Almost every engine appeared as if it was running gunk for oil as if it was never changed, or with heavy burn indicators on various parts like what you finding. On the bright side, you likely have a reusable block and heads.
