Thanks! It's a Milltek non resonated

Are you just doing the carbon clean? BG makes an intake valve cleaner that is awesome for that but it's hard to get unless you have a shop. If it is high milage, injectors are worth their weight in gold once replaced.

Yep. The other side was easier with a spring compressor.

@@dcswings Still going pretty good, I'm due for a carbon clean and am doing injectors next time it's open to do that!

Glad you liked it!

My dear wife was behind the wheel at the time, and behind the camera for a good part of the video. I couldn't resist picking on her a bit after we made sure everyone was okay :)

@@terrelljoseph6150 you do need a puller. Last I checked I think zzp had a modular pulley kit so you dont have to pull it multiple times if you're changing pulley sizes

@@brninitdwn I got it thanks for the reply

@@terrelljoseph6150 I didn't even look at which video it was, I was giving you info for the supercharger pulley.😂 Glad to hear it worked out!

Thanks!

Yes

It's very similar!

They are very fun! The amount of people that can't believe the car is 16 years old when we talk about it is a sure sign that they age well!

I can't remember if it was Engine 1 or 2 controller

That was coolant from removing the intake manifold heater hoses, I have since bypassed them. I'm counting the days until I have to do some gaskets on the filter housing and solenoids, but so far it has only consumed a half quart over the last 4k miles :)

@@brninitdwn aha, after typing I remember coolant from the video, but anyway, that gasket is cheap to replace compared to problems if leaks :) I searched for oil leak on exausts and masive smokes for 8 months. At last it was damn orings on oil pressure solenoids. I lost my mind in the end. 5 bucks fix :))) Now I'll replace them every year. In future if you'll have problems on secondary air flow, pls make a video, can't finds anywhere how that system works. something is wrong on bank 3 and bank 4 and my webasto won't turn on because of that and I don't know where to start with diagnose.

@@davorin5428 will do, i'll probably bypass and block it off sometime though

Hope it goes good for you!

I went from an APR tune to the JHM tune and there was still a difference, so I can't speak to the stock tune. I ran the Stage 2 for a day until I realized it was for no cats and whew, that was a monster! The TCU tune firms up all of the shifts so there is less time for the pops but they still happen. 😁

​@@brninitdwn You flashed the Jhm stage 2 for a day? By stage 1 and stage 2 do you mean the 91 and 93 octane tunes? I dont see anything about "stages" on the tune on Jhms website. Ill consider taking off the cats for that monster performance you just described lol. Also you should consider the intake manifold spacers, Ive heard they work wonders, you dont lose performance when the engine bay gets real hot from running it a long time because it keeps the intake manifold cooler.

@@jpjacks1500 It's not listed on the site, but the stage 1 is for both 91 & 93 with cats. Stage 2 has separate tunes for 91 & 93 and no cats. I did get spacers when I replaced the manifold and carbon cleaned it last year! 🙂

Is it shift slow when you had it?

@@nathanprichard9857 Before tcu tune yes

Thanks, hope it helped!

I'm in NC but had to go almost to DC as there were none close at all. Used Auto trader and set up email alerts, 2 within a half mile showed up so I bit the bullet and rode up. Both had busted intakes but the one I ended up with was in much better shape and had better records. Hope you have some good luck soon!

@@brninitdwn Thank you. If all goes well I should have one in 2-6 months, very excited. Something about the sleeperness of these cars makes me love them. You don’t seem to be having bank breaking problems just normal german luxury car maintenance which is very good and one of the main selling points for me.

There was a slight difference, but seeing how much filthy gas came out when it was being emptied let me know it was overdue.

Yes if the one you are talking about is at 1:10

@@brninitdwn thank you just got it myself. I was for some reason trying to fit the door lock bar into the shim piece and bolt it into, I looked the front passenger lol

@@masonmcnabb2429 Glad to hear you got it sorted!

I didn't have major issues, but I highly recommend emailing the support department if you have even the first question.

@@brninitdwn Im really thinking about picking one of these up. I am in love with obscure and sleeper cars, do you think it will be a nightmare if I get one from 90k-120k miles? I can do almost everything up till pulling the motor by myself.

​@@riot840 Just be sure the maintenance was kept up. I've put almost everything I did to mine on the channel and am using it as a daily, over 12k miles in a year and hit 119k last month. It is a great sleeper, a guy in a challenger went wild when I piped him in traffic a few months back 😂

@@brninitdwnThanks, I will definitely look into purchasing one of these. Just scared of the intake manifold being on its way out because I do not want to put 4 grand on top of the original purchase price.

@@riot840 For sure, try to find one with a carfax saying it's been replaced. I could hear the flaps rattling around 2k rpm with the hood popped, both of the ones I found had bad intakes and had that rattle.

There's no indication of when it needs to happen and Audi claims it doesn't have to be changed, but most modern gas vehicle intervals are 50 to 100k miles. Not all of the filth in the container was from the inside of the filter but a good amount was so it is worth doing periodically!

It's my daily now most of the time, I've put 12K on it since last February! I was nervous about it, but the car has been holding up well. Before you buy it, if you hear rattling from the intake while in park while revving to 2000 RPM or so with the hood up that is a $4000 intake manifold replacement. Both of the ones I found had that issue and I assumed it was normal but ended up eating the cost on that, that video is on my channel. The carbon clean will need to be done every year or 2. I had to replace CV boots and a few other things, most of it I videoed and put on here. I still need injectors and to check for air leaks, when it is cold it runs rough but it is great once it warms up. I got lucky and the previous owner had done all the plugs and kept up on a lot of the maintenance, Carfax service history is a great thing to look at. Oil changes are $100 plus for parts, @fcpeuro has some kits with the new plug, oil and filter. Hope that helps!

@@brninitdwni have one myself your right about the manifold , sometimes the arms get stuck code 2004

@@_Jm24k yep, if I knew then what I do now I would have looked at the arms then waited and got one that the manifold arm wasn't broken on. A previous mechanic managed to get the arm out of the flap motor so the ECU still thought it was moving the flaps, no code

I have it daily for last 5 years, for me it is most reliable car I ever owned and everything else was newer audis before, but mine is S8 V10 2008. It is like a tank well made. I do everything DIY and I'm not even close to a mechanic, I just bought lots of tools and watch youtube how to repair. Drive it like a regular car and not like 450ps whore -> it can last you forever. There is no part on it that you can't change and after 15 years parts are very cheap.

@@davorin5428 question what your current mileage atm and besides engine wise, how well does suspension parts last you?

Whats up?

@@brninitdwn Im in the market for a s6. Im also interested in the work that you did in this video.

@@raytaylor9152 My socials are in my profile here. A great resource for these cars are audirevolution and audizine forums too. It's a great car, but I wouldn't still have it if I couldn't turn wrenches!

I'm glad they helped!

It's been pretty reliable so far, almost everything I've done I did a video on. The biggest job I didn't video was replacing the cv axle boots; I need to get the injectors cleaned or replace them as it runs rough when cold. The key is getting one that hasn't been abused and the maintenance was kept up pretty well!

It got the crank and the other rod, so far it's almost 1k in parts 😢

Let the man rest in peace.

Sure thing, stay tuned!

Nope, the stock exhaust is very restricting

For sure!

It's running a ZZP thermostat from a couple years back when I had the mod bug 😂

They're getting there, thanks dude! Those pry bars are not soft 😂

It was frustrating but I'm happy everyone was okay. The paint was rough and the headlights had fogged up so it needed some work to look good anyways; when we get the upgrades I'll do another video on it and show the end result!

It's been a long time coming but we're almost ready to wrap it up! Only the rear wheel wells and it'll be ready for paint.

That stage 2 flash was a monster, but the cats are still there so had to reflash to stage 1. Every shift the car surges ahead hard now, if you give it much gas from a stop it will throw you back in the seat hard. From what they said at support the pedal is more like an R8 now....and it really acts like it!

@@brninitdwn im afraid ill blow the motor...but when i read like an R8 hard not to buy the tune now. so your going catless ? adding spacers on the o2 sensor i guess to keep the chek engine light off.

@@dcswings eventually I will get some custom headers then go back to stage 2, I'm not sure how the o2 is mapped with that tune but it was designed for no cats so it may not need spacers

@@dcswings No need for spacers IMO. But you may have a different experience with your car. Good luck.

@@brninitdwn once you buy the tune do you have to buy everytime you want to switch back and forth from stage 1 to stage 2?

For sure! The most important thing to do is take your time!

Where would I contact you to work on it?

@@nathanprichard9857 what ind of work do you need?

Where do you buy your parts at?

@@nathanprichard9857 what work do ou need done?

Yep, but its all good now, replaced the manifold!

@@brninitdwn intake is now 6700$ canadian lol.

@@Nordic_Mechanic Ouch, think I'll gut it if this one goes out lol

Howdy, just saw this :D

I drove it like this for at least a couple of years, it went through CV axles fast, had to replace wheel bearings once and axles 2 times. The noise and not being able to turn sharp without it jumping after driving for longer than 15 minutes were the only other noticeable issues.

@@brninitdwn what about highway use. Did you have any issues there?
