2012 Audi A6 3.0t Supercharger whine

Integrated Engineering Stage 2 (single pulley) with IE intake.

[@Traviijoy]

Now I know this can be done I want to do it to my ‘17 A6

[@TheWarawaj]

I have the same engine and intake. Ive also done my pulleys and stage 2 flash. The whine mostly comes from the intake, which still sounds great, but our factory superchargers are pretty quiet.

[@codyknapp3641]

What intake is it? Thanks

[@TheWarawaj]

@@codyknapp3641 it is ECS intake. AWE and APR both have nice boxed carbon intakes. But the price is much higher.

[@BrentKendall0286]

The intake in this video is from Integrated Engineering (www.performancebyie.com)

[@ahmadhuzaifahahmadfauzi]

By that logic, can i make my non-supercharged car sounds like this?

[@BrentKendall0286]

@@ahmadhuzaifahahmadfauzi You can achieve the “whoosh” sound from getting an intake but you will not get the whine that comes from the supercharger.

[@codyknapp3641]

Hey man, that sounds sick! Can you tell me more about your tune and what you did on the car? Im new to stage tunes and stuff. But ive been thinking about doing one on my audi. I have the same car as you. Thanks man!

[@BrentKendall0286]

Hey Cody, go check out www.performancebyie.com This is the company that I went with for all of my tuning. They make it super easy for you to do it yourself in your driveway. You get the OBD2 cable and software and you can do everything yourself. Super easy!!

Do you have an exhaust on here or is it stock, I can't really tell

This was just a rear muffler delete at this time

set up?

[@Slow_C6]

did you upgrade the heat exchanger when going stage 2 SP pulley only ?

[@jag4492]

I did for mine, highly recommend it

[@ginnis_14]

Hey I am looking into buying a 2012 A6. What can you say about the reliability? Have you spent a ton on repairs?

[@BrentKendall0286]

By far the most reliable engine in the Audi lineup. As it gets closer to 100k miles you’ll want to make sure the water pump, thermostat, and PCV has been replaced. This is a moderate DIY job if you are mechanically inclined. At a reputable Audi shop this would be around $2,500 total with parts and labor. I was lucky enough to find mine used from an Audi dealer with all service records. I just needed to do my water pump.

[@ginnis_14]

@@BrentKendall0286 ok cool. The one I’m looking at is at 140k. Do you think that’s too much to consider it? I’m pretty mechanically inclined, and should be able to take care of basic repairs. I just don’t want anything big happening.

[@BrentKendall0286]

@@ginnis_14 Make sure you get to do a cold start. Not sure where you are buying from but never look at the car after they've allowed it to warm up. When you do the cold start you'll want to listen for timing chain rattle at the back of the engine. At that mileage it is a concern. When it gets that many miles the chain will stretch and "slap" on startup. Once the engine creates oil pressure it should go away within 2-3 seconds. If the rattle does not go away then you have a serious repair on your hands. Another thing to consider at that many miles is clogged cats. Even on a stock engine the cats will clog eventually. Once you start adding more power that speeds up the process. To be honest, you can probably find something closer to the 100k miles if you are staying under a certain budget. Don't settle on this one.

[@ginnis_14]

@@BrentKendall0286 Thanks I will definitely check those things out. I am trying to buy one around 10,000. I found a few 2010s that have around 120k on them. Would those be a better deal? I tried to find one closer to 100k but I can’t find any that aren’t newer models that are 15k+.

[@harrydelange1821]

Buy a 2013 or newer model, its slightly upgraded. They can still have problems with oil consumption but not as much as the 1.8 and 2.0 tfsi 'disaster'. And keep in mind that repairment and parts might be (very) expensive. I own a 2013 with a 8 tiptronic gearbox and really all options abt. 100.000 Km driven. The 8 gear tt is a bit smoother than the 7 gear dsg but fuelconsumtion is higher (with the 8 tt).

[@motivpp]

Is this with CVT? Which A6s come with them cause I want to avoid it of I go A6 route?

[@BrentKendall0286]

The CVT is used on the 2.0t FWD models

[@AMRINDER-123]

Is this ROC euro intake ?

[@BrentKendall0286]

This intake is from Integrated Engineering

[@sami-bv1pt]

how did u clean the engine bay? its so perfect

[@BrentKendall0286]

Simple green, rags, and brushes

[@TheRushinRocket]

What did you do for the tune? Purchase the new ECU or from a shop or both

[@BrentKendall0286]

The tune is through Integrated Engineering. You can purchase their cable and use a Windows laptop in your own driveway. If you can install software you can do this tune. Super easy!

[@thatsit5110]

So what’s the difference in power between this A6 3.0 and s4?

[@smexy_a393]

Pretty much the same besides weight? If you get the c7.5 a6 you get a monster transmission that's fast and can hold power plus you don't need to buy a flex fuel kit for e85

What’s the first mod I should make on my 3.0 don’t want to void my warranty but I do want a little more speed n far as the whine all I have to do is buy a intake?

[@BrentKendall0286]

Intake is a great first mod

[@CrazyWeeMonkey]

intake and good tires

[@tsadee3732]

@@BrentKendall0286 thanks bro I’m going with the IE intake but do you think if I get a stage 1 ecu it will be detected by dealer? And is stage 1 noticeably faster?

[@BrentKendall0286]

@@tsadee3732 Yes, sadly the dealer will see and flag any changes to the ECU. If you still have a factory warranty it’s voided. However, if you are passed any warranty then you are fine.

Where did u get the heat sheild

It comes with the IE air intake kit.
