I rebuilt a crash damaged Audi RS6 & then installed a GT3 widebody kit in hopes to ship the car all the way from the UK to the USA & drive it to Las Vegas for SEMA car show. But we didnt make it far before catastrophic failure.

I would guess lower octane fuel in the states compared to the UK led to detonation which blew a rod causing the piston or rod to crack the block allowing coolant into the combustion chamber. This might explain the coolant and the damage to the spark plug as the piston probably hit it. It might have needed a different tune for the lower octane fuel. I’m very sorry for your car but it does make a great episode, and you get to make more great ones fixing it. Best of luck.

Yo Mat, if you get a spark plug thats melted like that one you showed that means the engine had to lean of a mixture and that cilinder is toast now, plus all the debris is in the engine now. Just like Mike at DDE you will have to take the whole engine apart and check everything. Plus you will need new oil coolers because the debris will get stuck in there and you will not be able to flush them. Best thing to do is see if you can get a second hand engine and use the old one for spare parts, that is after checking everything and I mean everything! Well good luck and hope the rest of your stay in the US brings you smoother sailing, cheers m8

Did the swap and drove about a kilometer and suddenly; lost of power and check engine light; stock engine.. Diagnostic: miss fire on cylinder 3. Removed the spark plug and it’s head was missing, and very wet; unburnt fuel, like the first one you removed from the RS6. I put the OEM ones back in and the car was fine. Start with the cheapest first; put a new set OEM plugs in and see what happens!!

Here’s my best bet. The low octane fuel caused some savage pre ignition under the intense load of the drag race. The cylinder with the destroyed plug was the one that failed first. I think when you get into it you’ll see severe damage to the cylinder wall / piston / con rod / con rod bearing for that cylinder. It’s allowed coolant and oil to mix and general mayhem. The bits of shrapnel will now be everywhere and probably caused secondary damage in other parts of the engine (hopefully the turbos are ok) … Pretty sure it’ll need a new engine & coolers etc (but at least you can keep the old one for some spare parts)

Well, he has some other supercars at home. The financial loss on this most likely will be covered by the clicks of videos about fixing this car. I'd still be laughing too. If this was my only car and i wouldn't have enough money to fix it - i'd be crying

+1 on the head lifting under too much boost. Subarus need head studs/ over sized when running nutty boost for that reason. The 91 will cause knock, the ecu should be able to account & reduce timing, if it doesn't adjust enough or not learned fast enough it could easily try to run too much timing & cause bad knock/ detonation/ pre-ignition

It's either dropped a valve or it's down to a crappy remap and it's detonated and melted the electrode off the spark plug and melted the piston and welded it to the cylinder bore, think you need to bore scope it before you decide on doing anything further.

I love that you guys always seem to take it with humor when things go wrong, even when what's gone wrong would have me rage out if it had been my car... but I guess it helps a lot that you guys can fix nearly everything broken yourself, unlike myself.

Hi Mat, For the coolant on the Spark Plugs my tip is Headgasket being blown. Same with the melted overheated Spark plug. Although it could be not enough torque was applied on the melted one, but I think here it is like on the others thew head gasket, just that oen was maybe the first that blew. And like others pointed out, it can be to low octane rating on the fuel. With the mismatch in the fuel I thinbk the bets is replace the gasket and then recalibrate with a tuner, to accomodate the lower octane on the US fuel. I hope this helps and best of luck! :)

I just love your and your dads positivity, some people get upset about things like that, including myself, but you guys are awesome, I wanna be more like you and just laugh at things like that, it’s all about the fun, isn’t it! 😄 I do feel sorry about the car though, it’s an awesome car! 😢

Hey Mate, I've got a customer who had a very similar issue. It was the head gasket that had failed on the right bank. Admittedly, the spark plug wasn't chewed up, but that could have been from a hydrolock sending a piston out. Far-fetched theory could be that its the fuel as they have fuel that our cars aren't mapped for. He doesn't explain the coolant but could be broken cylinder head from detonation.Hope I helped! Good luck!!!

@jsl2011uk 6 ай бұрын

yeah savingsalvage had the same problem with an R8 V8 (same engine i think) one of the pistons lunched itself on the spark plug. Caput engine i'm afraid.
