I have no clue how to do that. Keep searching...

Never done it before. I could, but i have to do a good research. Right now the car's brakes are still good so no change needed.

Is your engine cjca? If yes then drain fully - let it drain for a while. Where did you find 4.3l?

@@ainarsvinks on forums from owners. Mine is 2009 2.0 tdi manual 105 kw. Idk if its cjca what ever that means :)

@@michalopaleny9553 that is an engine type/model. If its 2.0tdi, then still it can have variants. For example different horsepower, different oil filters, etc.. Your car doesn't have cjca engine, but that is kinda good, because you should have an oil measuring stick. You can fill the oil 4l at start, then measure with the stick. I don't have such luxury. Only way I can tell the oil level is through mmi display.

@@ainarsvinks ye i saw that ppl do the same and than keep checking on display, which is kinda ridiculous. Seems like there is way to mod it and add stick tho.

@@michalopaleny9553 so does your audi have a oil stick? I also read that, but I have to be extremely cautious about which stick exactly to buy. From caga engine thr stick is a bit too long.

Yes, I found the oil leak. It was coming from the front crankshaft seal.

You can only do it with an OBD scanner/tool. Didn't have it at hand when filming the video. I believe you can reset the oil change interval in the MMI, but not the service interval.

Thats a good question haha. I noticed that too when editing the video.

For this engine (cjca) it is 5 liters. If it is caga or other diesel engines from prefacelift, it could be less. You have to check somewhere.

I didn't change the fuel filter. The filter I believe is located underneath the car very close to the left side's skirt. There should be a metal cover protecting the filter and hoses. After the fuel filter change you MUST connect to the car's ECU and tell the fuel tank pump to run for a while. That is needed because the filter and the high pressure pump will be empty - they need to be filled with fuel before starting up the engine or else you will be risking in damaging the high pressure pump.

@@ainarsvinks In my 2011 A4 B8 right hand drive, the filter lives in the underside of the car around where the driver seat is located. Some dirt panels must be removed before it can be accessed.

Ja kārtīgi notecina, tad iet. Nav pārbaudes mieta, tad jau tiešām zinātu, cik ļoti ir par daudz. Pēc specenes ir jālej 5l.

Thanks! Yes you should definitely change the washer. It will be crushed when tightening the plug and seal the plug/hole in the process. If you use the old one, there is a chance that the oil can sip out. You will feel the first higher tightening torque when you start crushing the washer, but thats normal. After that it will get a bit easier to tighten till you actually “hit” the oil pan. From there you should tighten by the torque specified.

Filter noted, thanks

I will give you an info about that tomorrow. I have to update the catalog database. As I can see in e-shops there is some problem with the correct filter. One is with the plastic stick inside the filter, but another suggests to use the same as mine - without. Even the same shop has both of those options stated for cagc... haha.

Yep.. A5 and Q5 share the same platform. Should be the same engines. Good luck.

Be careful! This is not a guide for TFSI engine. There must be differences when changing oil between 2.0 TDI (diesel) and TFSI (petrol/gas) engines.
