Audi R8 V10 x times more problems? We had to strip the engine down from the top

Welcome to the second episode with the R8 V10.
link to first video - • How easy repair turned... where we diagnosed the issues and actually repaired what was possible to make the engine run on idle. After the smoke leak test was done we had to go much deeper into the engine which was really painful for our lower back.

Nice work guys! The more I watch your videos, the more I am put off buying an Audi 😂😂😂

[@kamilianos]

same here. But there is a pattern. V8's seem to dominate, RS line is also a popular guest on the channel.

[@tonymcnamara9368]

Nothing wrong with owning an Audi, as long as you're the first owner, and keep up with all servicing and, maintain while you own the vehicle. A lot of issues are caused by other people's negligence. If they can't afford the upkeep, don't buy in the first place.

[@Mr_Sh1tcoin]

Audi's really are shite; all VAG cars are.

[@SalimKhan-gk1fh]

I’ve owned lots of Audis over the past 25 years & loved them all .all who had been good cars and I found it very satisfying to own them ,currently on a 2017 Audi allroad sport model with sport Tronic and 3.0v6 tdi absolute dream to own drive I haven’t found a car that can rival all this you can get videos on any brandWhich will put you off I suppose.

[@alexandruilea6471]

@SalimKhan-gk1fh My dad had a C6 Quattro V6 TDI 7 years ago, and I remember that car was a beast, so much power and acceleration. It was incredible really for a daily driver! But once he fuelled from a dodgy gas station and had to replace all of the injectors after 500 km, and the dash was a Christmas light show. So yeah, maintenance and fuel used are crucial.

[@damir19081]

oh man cant imagine the joy driving the audi r8. But driving it after YOu repaired it must be another level ! Greetings from Ireland. Say Pozdrav to Miroslav as well !

[@shifty277]

I just want to say the level of effort you put in to the editing of your videos is probably similar to the amount of physical effort you put in the actual servicing and repairs of your customers cars. You change the music up in a lot of the videos and your explanations and time lapses flow really well. Thumbs up. Thank you watching in my 1.8T A4 2009 160bhp

[@SinanMehmet-d7l]

I love this channel, I run my own garage and work hard like you guys, I'm always inspired watching your videos, your work ethic is brilliant, I've recently found your video's and can't stop watching!

[@mzeds8160]

What a nightmare to work on. You did well 🎉

[@jezrougan]

Why are all modern vehicles made of marmalade and plastic...??? Think ill stick to my 1994 S2

[@megashtyr1]

That is A LOT of work to get to the PCV membrane 😮

[@ComboClutch]

More I watch, more I’m sure I want to bring my car to you guys in the future 👌

[@makantahi3731]

vag destiny is that you will sooner(expensive) or latter(more expensive) have to bring your car to repair shop

[@makal4966]

Lol not educated. Your both wizards. Nice video again

[@Acceleronics]

I wish your shop was in the US! My S5 4.2 has a bent rod (hydrolocked) and I can't find anybody in this country willing to rebuild it.

[@The_Watermann]

I can imagine what do you guys feel when the car which was running bad becoming to work as it should after the repair... Kind of pleasure after the job done well. You're great! Keep doing the awesome things!

[@StaticVapour590]

Your videos are so great to watch because the music changes, not the same damn music every time like many youtubers do

[@nolanbryan9195]

Great update 👍🏻 what’s happening regarding the B8 RS4 ?

[@mesannelebruja]

A Tavarish and VAG Technic video on the same day? Heaven! Good work guys, I'm not worried about my B9 S4 at all... :)

[@royalblood2405]

Tavarish is a lame clown

[@jdmimportlogistics]

93’ UrS4 and 87’ 4Kq CS owner here. What has been inflation like on all the parts the last few years? Audi has so many models the logistics must be mind boggling - I would imagine the majority of parts produced in China what happens when BRICS decides to take over everything once and for all?

[@xcofcd]

A lot of prices doubled or even tripled compared to a few years ago.

[@Noskillz_]

I wanna get my c7 a6 sent to you guys so bad lol. All the way from the us

[@tomthompson7400]

the R8 is nice . . . but the camera girl is nicer , bet she causes less bother too.

[@rolandoaqui5808]

What was the way to remove the VVT sensor on the drivers side? Did you have to remove the intake?

[@mbrylewski]

You make these videos so entertaining

[@andrewcoombes3063]

Those unblocked intake ports while you work make me twitchy

[@andrewcoombes3063]

That's not a criticism by the way, just a worry

[@becomematrix]

Drop the engine?

[@craigladewig3158]

Ill take the avant over the R8

[@TREXdudi]

Great video, thanks.

[@Icarus410a]

About 15 yrs ago I rebuilt a couple of Porsche boxsters, both had the same problem of overheated engines/gasket failures. They were bas---ds to work on had to drop the engine/transmissions out from the underneath, no four post lifts, just, jacks, wooden blocks and rolling about on the garage floor. We rebuilt a good few engines, and these got the budget rebuild treatment, no huge new parts bill, just the required parts to a minimum- chain guides, head and blocks gasket skim, the usual stuff, hot pressure washing everything, including the blocked oil coolers. The first 2.7 car when finished was fantastic, I thrashed it daily and it loved it,- sold, on to the next, a 3.2S, this one had every plastic part melted or distorted it'd gotten that hot, same budget treatment secondhand parts, loctite 5900 silicon gasket back up. It needed rings, way too expensive from porsche so I found a perfectly sized and material alternative at a tenth of the price, cadillac northstar V8 +.020. Somehow on the engine rebuild even though I knew to be careful I managed to get one of the cams 180 degree out of phase, luckily on start up I caugt it early and no damage was done but it all had to come out and be redone, but I'd had enough by then. The engine again was brillient, but I could'nt bring myself to hammer it like the first, the thought of doing it all again was too much. Sold it, saw the purchaser some time later, still had it ,loved it. Long story, happy days.🙂

Enjoying you vag cars content I have a rs3 8Y hopefully soon I can visit your workshop for some work/service/modifications

[@peterbustin2683]

I find these videos compelling and hypnotic, and I dont even own a VAG car - I have a F56 MCS.

[@neilcutler8064]

I’m loving your videos guys so professional, never buy 1 of these Audi,s these engines are expensive junk 👎

[@titou6799]

More i watch more I stay away from Audi😅

[@raycollington4310]

I missed on the part 1 video why V10 mileage is relatively higher (wear & tear wise) than normal engines. Is it to do with stress or something? This is some car. Thank you.

[@jose15238]

what tool did you use to turn the engine? when doing the carbon build up removal. or did you just turn the key for a second to close the vavles

[@Chilled_Mackers]

I still want an old Audi 80 lol.

[@NavVasudevan]

Most anticipated episode yet. Only part of me was hoping you’d find something else wrong to fix (not mouse crap) 😂

[@nikolaosezikis7622]

excellent timing to end the day!

[@arvisgri7491]

I'm surprised that the owner of the car allowed you to do the driving the end. I myself never have liked that mechanics drive my cars, too much of a risk.

[@VAGTechnic]

No warranty otherwise if it can’t be tested

[@makantahi3731]

you are confused by facts: you are the one who makes damage on car , he is the one who repairs damage you made, so how can he make damage when he knows how not to make damage and how to repair

[@highdefp-rm7zg]

Is the owner happy to see you driving it like this?

[@VAGTechnic]

Like what ?

[@highdefp-rm7zg]

Thrashing it - you refer to it in the video as “vehicle abuse “ in the preview to the next video. There’s a difference between a road test and a joy ride. If you’ve cleared this with the owner then fine.

How much time would you have saved if you removed the engine?

[@VAGTechnic]

More time to remove and same time amount to do what we done once is out

[@andyfeingold7247]

So, better to remove engine? Or fix it in place?

[@themalewhale59]

Nice job.

[@tonedcos]

Is that a GDI engine, twas very carboned.

[@Mac_F87]

All modern VAG cars are. On some models like the mk7 Golf R facelift RS3 they went with direct injection and port injection for emissions but went back to purely DI later on.

[@tonedcos]

Same with my 07 octavia i think, read somewhere they tried GDI then went back to port injection.@@Mac_F87
