From Mat Armstrong/Tavarish video series of his RS6 on the US, be mindful that LHD engines have some differences with the RHD ones. Mostly brackets tho, but might not be a straight swap. Probably you have this already in mind anyway! Keep up the great content.

Always a great day when VAG uploads a video! Thanks again for keeping all of us informed!

Absolutely love this video... coming from another stateside D3 S8 owner. V10 content is like hens teeth. Cheers guys. Thank You.

It`s always a pleasure to watch your videos. I admire your work ethic and also the fact that when a mistake is made, i.e the oil spillage, you don`t edit it out. That to me shows even good mechanics can make slipups once in a while. Keep the content coming, can`t wait for the next one on this build.

"You will wake up from your wet dreams and be a very sad person again". Quote of the Day.

I have that V10 in S8-2008 black with full spec, even with fridge for last 5 years, very very good condition. No problems. Best car ever ;)

BTW I always get my injectors cleaned and flow matched before re-installing them. You can also buy used injectors and then have all 10 injectors tested, cleaned and flow matched by a shop who does that professionally.

You’re brave to take this one on. Let’s hope there are serious differences between the two engines. It’s lovely to see an unstressed naturally aspirated engine. All that turbo related junk not getting in the way or over pressuring the engine. Good luck.

Excellent video as usual, could watch this all day.

Love the lighting in your garage. Really striking !

Love seeing the Allroad out and about again!

Brilliant content Thomas.. looking forward to the rebuild🤟

Great videos as usual, keep up the great work guys!!

Absolutely love your content! Never miss an upload. Much love from Canada

This is by far the best video yet; such a cool project!😃

Great stuff Thomas, love it. Can’t wait for rebuild…

Fair play to you, that's a lot of graft and dedication ❤💪🏻

I love watching your methodical ways and placing the engine parts in a way to help u understand how to rebuild. Very expensive Audi problems

Very interesting project. Clearly your expertise is appreciated as evidenced by a viewer thousands of miles away enlisting your help. Hope we can see this all the way through installation of the rebuilt engine in a vehicle.

Interesting video. Keep them coming. 😊

Great content as always. 👍

It’s always a good day when Vag Technic uploads another informative video. You guys show us how a garage knows what they’re doing. I just wish Vag Technic were much further down in the South. I don’t trust many garages near me.

Great video and great work as always

just finished rebuilding BXA v10 , you are gonig to love this power train

Beautiful quality videos 😊

Great video man. Got the same engine under my Summer Car Hood. Looking forward to do the same one day. Watching you makes you feel like its quiet easy :D

My personal opinion is that your videos did not need any edditing. You show things that nobady does. Even your mistakes. Please continue that way !

The wife was not too happy with putting that beast in her car 😂

great work 👍👍

Awesome videos dude watching from Australia

Yes the color of the kisluxbag is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…

great video great attitude

Amazing work interesting video 👍

Great video, you put in some hours, fair play. 👏🏻

So educational - thank you. Remind me to ask my surgeon to refurb before transplanting my next heart.

I am fan of M but big respect for job what you do.

Great to see it being stripped - surprised you didn’t check to see if it had oil in before the strip down even if you assume it should be empty not everyone thinks the same! Like you said no harm done

Really enjoying your channel and the excellent content even if it has put me off ever buying an Audi 😅

Good job this was simple engine - looks at 100 timing chains, guides, sprockets, err ok 🤣 I need shares in TPS and VAG Technic will make me a rich man 😁

seen a few intakes getting cleaned with walnut blaster seams to work a treat

7:10 when she asks you if is already in... 🤣🤣🤣

i miss my DS2 S8, such a beast and black on black, very mafia.

Why make it easy? Great work any way. :)

Nice 1

You would need (1)1.5-2 m3/min compressed air on 8-10 bars for the metal surfaces for a smaller blaster (4-5 maybe 6 millimeters nozzle). That means a (5)-7.5-11kw screw compressor at least. 30 kgs/h sounds okay for delicate cleaning. I would rather use a wider nozzle and estimate maybe 70-100 kgs for cleaning the outside depending on your standards of cleanness. I would spend maybe 150-200-250 kg on this engine depending on your skills and standards you want to achieve. There are good blasters made in EU from maybe like 7-8k+ eurs with 3 years of warranty. The excessive fog indicates rather low pressure/airflow comparing to the used dry ice or excessive moisture in the air.

27:00 Looks to me like the regular service intervals were not adhered to with this engine. It's rather dirty inside with lots of varnish everywhere. Change your oil regularly. It's cheap insurance. 30:50 - Yep, you agree.

anyone cringing at the thought of this engine going into this lovely interior?

My experience is similar. Paid $10,000 cdn for a second hand engine. Did some basic refreshments to it. Installed it.. Drove it for a day. I wasn't gentle. After that, I was crusing down the hwy in 6th gear when the bearing spun. Took it apart, rod bearing #1 spun. The rest of the rod bearings were in rough shape. Oddly enough all main bearings were ok. Now I'm rebuilding it with additional expense. Also, if you have a spare 4.2 BNS rod lying around you'd sell please let me know! It's my last piece to the giant puzzle.

Audi Professor

Great info in that video! What do you about the missing intake flaps? They should result in huge power loss and from what I remember only a new intake solves the problem?

at least you aren't getting any sunburn over there....

Thank you so much for this video! 👏🏼 About the carbon in the piston rings - do you think it is because of the intake air, or the lack of oil changes? I have a fully working S8 for now, just thinking of preventive measures to keep it healthy, such as engine oil flush (BG products).

I always thought that Hitachi is the OEM manufacturer for these Audi fuel injectors. I also damaged one of the fuel injectors of my V8 Audi S5, so I just purchased Hitachi OEM injector. I never had an issue. If you have an air compressor, then you should look into getting a media blaster that you can use walnut and sand abrasive media into it. Since you duality carbon clean only when the engine is pulled out, it’ll be a lot easier to send blast intake valves. However your sandblasting wand should be long enough to get deep into intake port.

I would recommend you use walnut blasting to clean the intake ports instead of dry ice. The blasting media is much cheaper than dry ice and the results are great.

Still some vw passat w12 wagen second hand in germany...could be a nice project

in ultra sonic tank deep clean

let's hope you don't have to hit the brakes with that beast sitting in the back

Lovely content man 🔥. I have a question regarding direct injection engines. Is there a way to prevent carbon build up at all? I assume best way is regular oil changes like instead of 1 year do it every 4 months/6 months instead of 15000km do it at 5000/7500km with high quality oil?

the thousandth like is mine😜

I bet you never tried to use Mr. Muscles to clean the carbon from the intake ports 😅

yeah, that's alot of pistons and displacement! but the timing chains are measured in looks to be 10s of meters, no thanks. apparently the modern V6s have lost all of this setup and have a mid point gear that drives the cams to chains! so maybe only 3 now. a person is brave to have one of these v10s, split crankshaft! so this is very much like that generation V6 thought with 4 cylinders added... wow

Man I wish we got the c7 a6 allroad in the states, nor did we get the c7 s6 avant, that C7 generation in estate form is absolutely gorgeous

All dat kislux bags sssssoooooooo gorgeous

Doesn't corrosion down the injector holes ever cause problems obviously you have to clean them up

I have b9 2.0 tdi 140kw 220 000 km what i should check? oil changes 10 000km. i have new ad blue tank and control unit, new EGR cooler.

24:12 it was at this moment that he knew he f***ed up

I'm honestly really impressed that the V10 fit in that car!

Where are you still sourcing hitachi? Are they same as hitachi?

Imagine having a crash with that behind you!!

People need to leadn that oil need fo be changed 6-10k miles or every year. Idealy engine flush and ceratec afterwards

how many km have the engine?

The wiring harness will probably be very different on a left-hand drive car so i am guessing that this will need to be swapped

Again - Oil Changes, or in this case of the second-hand engine, missed services/lack of. Whether naturally aspirated or forced induction, my OCI limit is 5k miles. And when I do the oil & filter changes, its a higher-quality VW504 (B9.5 RS5) or VW508 (B9 SQ5) oil and the OEM-branded filter. I've had good success with UOAs using Ravenol, purchased through Blauparts here in the US.

where to get this allroad badge red thing ? is this china or anything better quality ? any tips were to buy ?

Question for you. Im rebuild a Golf R mk6 engine, EA113 i measure the bore it's good and look good no scratches etc. 1- What is the is the "minimum" machining need to be done. 2- After measuring crank and it all good what is need to be done on it to be reused with new forge rod. Basic facts.

yo man, love your videos, I'm pretty much the same age as you are....all great, but could you, please, pretty please, exclude, them dancefloor muscin crap from the background music and use something more neutral? please? much appreciated. it kinda reminds me of maduar or mc erik crap. cheers!

LOL 24:15 thats your fault

Do you recommend raising the oil pressure on this engine? I need an answer

Hello guys. I have a problem on my audi a6. Mostly it gives me an error for Audi adaptive light, and an error for high beams. The lights work, when the vehicle is started they go up. But when I turn, the lens does not turn, but the auxiliary lights in the headlights come on. very weird. Plus no longer automatically raises and lowers the high beam and dipped beam.

Hey, you just put a second hand V10 in your A6 C7!!!

Kool engine

Dude get yourself a small van 🤦🏼🤣🤣

Red overspray all over that thing?

Hello, what is the mileage of this second hand engine?

why the drone

Those pistons look like they belong in a Kia, not an S8. People, please change your oil!!

He needs a truck

Wake up from your wry dream unhappy again...😂

I had same problem as you with your fucking mess.....mine was gloss paint

No offence but you have terrible taste in music, still watching though 😅😅😅

This music is unbearable

Very cheap engine

Who speak the polish there? I heard "no stary" 11:28

get a second hand hot tank for engine parts. will take off all carbon and oil without paying for dry ice.

Can I clone you my friend ? 🫡
