[@rawo5756]

i like the content real good stuff my mate

[@AudiC7Owners]

Thanks man!

[@BrianKariuki]

I love this. Our CREC engines are dying because of poor crankcase venting. The crankcase is only venting from one bank, instead of 2 banks like the earlier engines. I am looking to get this relocation kit and top cover for the second bank with an outlet for ventilation for bank 2. I am curious if the ECU will throw errors for pcv. We also have a n54 valve on our engines, so that might be a doozle. Kindly reach out so I see if we can work together on fixing the oil consumption issue on the CREC engine

[@brian221969]

I love the content and direction here (fantastic videos), but I'm struggling with MercRacing at the moment, I ordered the kit on June 4th along with everything else on your list to relocate my PCV system and upgrade to the 3.2 manifold (also doing intercooler bricks while the supercharger is off), I have the catch can installed in my S4 and have located the spot for the diaphragm breather, and have it all ready with the connection JB Welded and black taped into place (the links were extremely helpful). I've watched all the videos, and ordered and received all the gaskets and O rings for everything, and feel fairly confident I can do this. I emailed Merc Racing asking for tracking info, as the order email still read "processing" and also the very first thing I ordered. The package came today (6/17), but is was missing the throttle body spacer gaskets and the longer bolts for use with the stock throttle body... so another contact email sent through their sight. I'm going to rewatch everything this week to make sure I have the process fresh in my head, hopefully I'll be able to start next weekend. I had hoped to have it complete by now.

[@brian221969]

Update - MercRacing shipped my missing parts today, so very responsive. Next weekend, tear down on my S4 begins!

[@tehgzizlauw1787]

Awesome stuff, this is a game changer. Are you planning on making a DIY for the upper timing chain tensioners any time soon? I heard you can change those with the engine in place in the C7 but there are 0 guides online that discuss that

[@AudiC7Owners]

Thank you! At present I am not as my guides are working great (knock on wood).

[@mrg8959]

Great stuff, very impressive. I’ll have to wait for the plug and play version, don’t trust my cutting and JB welding skills🙈😂. This will probably be one reason for keeping my B8.5 S4 a bit longer 😊

[@AudiC7Owners]

Haha I understand. But the piece you have to modify is only about 15-20$. You free buy two so you have one to choice on. Then you would already have an extra diaphragm to have in case yours ever tears. Win Win! 😂

[@mrg8959]

@@AudiC7Owners oh I forgot to add…..I’m on the southern tip of Africa, South Africa to be precise. By the time we get parts here, the 20/30$ becomes closer to 50/60, due to our week currency and ridiculous shipping cost. I’ll be following this post/vid very closely

[@xXLIGITXx47]

Thanks! Great vid. Question. Why did you replace the catch can? Any reason to not use the original metal one on the new valley setup?

That one is still being used

[@mustaphaaitoukhalek8892]

Hello Please tell me where’s the fuel temperature sensor located on Audi a7 3.0 TFSI Best regards

[@drumhed]

Cam, the only fault I find in your approach is the use of "electrical tape" . It is not going to last very long. Have you considered using heavy-duty glue-filled heat shrink tubing instead? As a broadcast engineer, I have used both in long-term, high-heat applications, and the shrink tubing ALWAYS comes out on top. We're talking still in situ years later, vs even the best e-tape failing and unraveling after a few heat cycles. E-tape is meant to be used as an installation aide, not a long-term leave-in-place item. Just my .02

[@keepthinking2666]

He could use super 88 plus which has been for high temperature. Also, he can just use rubber electric tape. That would be better probably for for the braided line. I believe they come for compression. Not style that can go over the top. Maybe machine a couple parts. Sorry. It's Barb, it'll be threaded. Therefore, you can just use the braided black lines.

[@SAVAGE_A7]

One small piece an inch or 2 of shrink wrap or a small zip tie to terminate the tape and it's fine. It's what the factory uses for a reason

[@Brian-um9zz]

It’s NASCAR electrical tape, it’ll be fine

[@raeemspringer26]

Does this work for crec engines?

[@jeremyroye9127]

Would this work on Q7 3.0t 4lb?

[@joanneanderson1583]

Excellent video as usual from you, only one thing that is confusing me! You have replaced the OEM plastic PCV with an aluminium one from an older model car and installed a separate relocated PCV, but you also put a PCV valve back into the new aluminium housing under the super charger. Why fit 2x PCV’s, and couldn’t this still go bad meaning you have to pull the super charger back out in the future?

[@AudiC7Owners]

The Metal Valley Pan under the supercharger is just that. There is no pcv in it. The plastic piece that is on it is an oil separator (think oem catch can). These rarely have any failures. The only pcv is the relocated one 🤘🏻 Thank you for the kind words!

[@emolutioning]

Yeah that was what i was thinking of too. Why not just remove n bypass the Stock Oil Separator and direct to a Catch can from the Crankcase Inlet/outpipe?

[@AudiC7Owners]

That would be impossible. You have to have the oem valley pan/oil separator in the engine for it to function correctly.

[@godwor848]

@@AudiC7Owners The bad news for these engines is that the pcv system is built into the valve cover! This necessitated replacing those two V 6 covers and they cost around £500-600 in England only the parts! This 3.0 TDI engine is one of Audi's strongest!

[@AudiC7Owners]

Oh man that is interesting. I'm going to try to find a diagram of the 3.0tdi pcv system

[@montoyeaprice9779]

Serious question...why didn't you just get a new breather check valve hose from fcp instead of using the oem one...Im asking cause I did a pcv replacement from fcp euro along with new hose etc but I'm getting a pcv code p052e00...I threw the oem away not thinking od need it. MYbe I should've kept it. But couldn't wait on the pcv relocation kit which has Been pre ordered for 3-4wks had to have car up and running for work. Any info on if a new check valve can fail? Or how do you check it

[@AudiC7Owners]

The oem check valve hose didn't fit/work on the spider hose I'm using with the relocation. P025E can be caused by a faulty pcv or check valve.

[@swankperfection]

What’s the new crankcase vacuum measurement with this external PCV? B8 S4 ones are either 30 or 150 mbar depending on PCV revision and ECU updates. This is important info missing from this video.

[@swankperfection]

Also, FYI, on the new external PCV, you could use the OEM vent tube ends that clip in place on one side as that’s what it’s designed to take and on the other side, it would be nice if Merc would make a new aluminum female to barb hose adapter that accepts the the bottom port of the PCV to be inserted in at an angle. That port has a ring seal around it and also is keyed to go into a factory port like that. Would make for a super clean install and OEM finish without all the junky JB Weld DIY stuff and zero modification of the PCV should you ever want or need to swap that out entirely rather than just the guts. It’s definitely something to seriously consider to make the install clean as hell. 👍

[@KBLIZZ333]

I ordered the kit from Merc Racing a few weeks ago. Got an email back saying some of it is on backorder with no eta on those parts. Within a few days I received everything I ordered. Ordered a few other items from FCP Euro some off Amazon like injector seals, aluminum oil filter housing, oil filters, and I got an aluminum coolant (water) pipe with O rings. The one that comes out the back of the thermostat. Now I just have to put it all back together.

[@gaschris7989]

I wish I watched this video earlier. My coolant is mixing straight into the oil and I already put a 2k deposit on a new motor🤦🏽‍♂️ I’m definitely checking the pcv before I pull this motor out has 247k miles I put on but still runs strong.. other than fluid mixing.

[@lukes317]

Quick question here. I’ve got a coolant leak I can’t narrow down quite yet. I pressured my coolant system to check for leaks and it dropped real quick but no visible signs of leaking. All my research so far leads me to believe it’s pooling under the supercharger where the coolant return pipe is. I’ve seen a lot of people saying to check there first but I’m apprehensive to take the supercharger off if there are some parts known to break. Any advice on what I should get before taking the supercharger off and anything else that would be a good idea to replace while under there? I have a soft code for PCV and I’m thinking breather hose and/or the diaphragm but I’m not sure how easy those are to replace while under there. Thanks in advance!

[@AudiC7Owners]

If you are pressurizing the system & song coolant without seeing anything leak then your pcv is likely cracked & you free mixing coolant into your engine oil. Drain your oil & check it. Having a pcv code means you're pcv diaphragm is shot anyways so you need to address all of this quickly

[@AudiC7Owners]

I wouldn't drive the car until you sort these issues.

How much pressure is under the supercharger for the plug underneath? Could you use a rubber freeze plug (the type that tightens with an internal bolt)? How about a hard metal freeze plug inserted? Seems like any of these DIY options would eliminate the need for a special part only available at one or two places. Thoughts?

Just buy the mercracing plug. It's extremely affordable for piece of mind. I will never recommend a plumbing plug for something like this. If you choose to go that route, do so at your own risk

Isn't it funny how it takes us normal people to fix Audi's over engineering on some of these things? It's like this PC v. And the thermostat and the water pump should all be located on the top. Front or outside, easy, can't speak. As we know, they're gonna fail every single time, maybe even multiple times

[@AudiC7Owners]

The thermostat isn't a fun job, but the water pump is fairly easy to do. Don't even have to remove the supercharger

[@Syfy86]

Any updates on the bolt on kit? Are you near ct?

[@AudiC7Owners]

With the full parts kit from mercracing it is a bolt on procedure, but you still have to buy parts outside of the mercracing kit. And no I'm not

@@AudiC7Owners your awesome

[@unothedestroyerG56]

Did this kit come out?

[@AudiC7Owners]

Been out for a year

[@MrNext2000]

can this be done in a Q7 with the 3.0T

[@AudiC7Owners]

I think so, but no one has tried it yet

[@Pollinator]

Great vid. Looking forward to doing mine in a few weeks. Just a thought … would it not be possible to get an AN10 fitting with a smaller thread diameter to save having to do all the filing in the PCV fitting ?

[@wadebootz4861]

would this work on a 2011 3.0t a8l?

[@AudiC7Owners]

Yes
