Carbon Cleaning: Full Walnut Blasting Intake Service on my Audi R8!

I bring my Audi R8 to Bill from Garage Autosports to get a full intake cleaning! Carbon deposit build up is a problem with direct injected FSI engines and thus a walnut blasting intake service is needed to ensure proper power delivery, fuel economy and performance! This is a common maintenance item that has to be addressed for all direct injection engines

Would you trust Bill with your car? :D

[@MegaHoppie]

i used to work with him when i was a lot attendent and he helped me with mt a4 once or twice. Super awesome guy! Knows his stuff for sure

[@Mr.LightMode]

You are seriously the best resource for R8 owners. Thanks for all the hard work you put in all these videos.

[@carswithsonduren]

Thanks man I'm glad we can both enjoy this car :-)

[@thereconracoon3715]

Agreed!

[@ewwmin3m]

I can bet you top dollar that the oem air filter is better than any other alternative

[@WestcoastAudiGuy]

You'll also see higher buildup on the valves that are closest to the pcv, this is why catch cans do help with this issue.

[@kianustarr]

You're providing a great path towards protecting the performance and making the most of a Gen 1 R8. To me it's THE most desirable model in terms of looks. Thanks for the update.

[@carswithsonduren]

Thanks Kianu. Plan on holding this thing for a very long time so I want to make sure I keep it in Tip-Top shape :)

[@mannyt7064]

Hey guys, great video! What walnut blaster tool did you use??

[@rickjames6948]

You and your husband make good videos.

[@carswithsonduren]

I wish I was that lucky to call him my husband

[@jaytothem2238]

Love your videos. Very informative for anyone in the market for an early R8. Passed by a Toyota Prius @8:31 lol.

[@radinsyah1574]

This guy admires Bill so much that he styles himself after Bill 😂 Stubbles and all

[@carswithsonduren]

Man he's a god with Audi's I am not worthy 😂

[@RJ-lk5pj]

“Must more responsive::::::::::: “ As a Toyota Prius passes him

[@carswithsonduren]

Hahahahaha so true

[@ccapozzoli1]

Great video. Love the technical videos.

[@carswithsonduren]

Thanks Chris :) Lots of people with old direct injected engines suffer from these same problems so I really hoped it put some light on the process

[@mamdohalanezi]

Keep going man ,nice video it help me a lot

[@carswithsonduren]

Anytime man are you looking to get a carbon cleaning done soon on your car?

[@mamdohalanezi]

Canadian Rider yup

[@cintra2]

Hello, nice your r8, I own a rs4 with the same engine, how much do you think it will cost do clean the carbon builder?

[@carswithsonduren]

I forgot the exact price but it was between 3 to $400

[@cintra2]

Casta Alan s4? I thought this kind of issue was just for rs4 cause it has direct fuel injector

[@andreagate542]

kindly let me know if he would be willing to perform this service on a bmw…thxs!!

[@Mohamedsarris]

Great video man! Can't wait for more

[@carswithsonduren]

More to come :) pretty crazy the amount of carbon he was able to scoop up

[@Mohamedsarris]

@@carswithsonduren awesome! I'm just starting out on KZbin, focusing more of cars , I'm in Montreal let me know if possible to film something together!

Such a profesh opening good job sondu 😀

Thanks Kim Flashy 😘

[@Rich_padley]

So a year on, did it solve the flat spot? I’m currently experiencing the same, 3rd gear, just over 3000rpm

[@carswithsonduren]

Yes it did :)

[@matthewhoney5652]

What does it cost for the clean.

[@simonjagassar]

Another awesome helpful video for when I get an R8. What is the cost of such service ?

[@carswithsonduren]

499.99! How do you find the video of helpful welcome to the channel!

[@lucienl9465]

@@carswithsonduren how long did it take? For the whole service

[@carswithsonduren]

Maybe 4 hours

[@djsplinter1172]

Where is this machanic shop?

[@skwaLLLLey]

I wonder how much will would charge for a VW Jetta GLI

[@jschrauwen]

Was the PCV / Oil Separator replaced as well?

[@cpcollantes]

I just had an oil change not too long ago. Should this require another oil change after doing this service?

[@carswithsonduren]

Technically yes but I don't think it would be harmful to let it run

[@djsplinter1172]

How much did it cost?

[@jpm74]

Just run some seafoam in the manifold. Cheaper than an Audi tech.

[@carswithsonduren]

Wouldn't get into the intake valves

[@IKhanNot]

Doesn't work to remove such stuck on carbon. Used as a preventative measure then perhaps if you run it though an intake vacuum hose. You can do things the right way or the BS way that's your choice.

[@BruceLee-xn3nn]

The fk it won't help,ive been using it before you dks were even born. Toyota has a system that alternates injections to clean intake valves off.Run a catch can on pcv system,or don't buy Audi, Volkswagen.

[@geraldo009]

whats the brand or model of those round end pick tools?

[@rajvirgrewal4572]

They are seal removal picks, used in removing o-rings and gaskets so you don’t score the sealing surface of metals like aluminum.

[@ptzish]

If Bill didn't mention getting a catch can so you don't have to keep doing this, he's ripping you off.

[@carswithsonduren]

Not sure if there is a good aftermarket option for a catch can on the R8?

[@ptzish]

​@@carswithsonduren I'm in the process of getting one custom made from this guy. He makes them to order for Audis. I have a Q7 and it's impossible to find most aftermarket parts for, even though it's the same 3.0T as many other models. He custom mills the necessary hose adapters/fittings. His prices are better than the cheap plastic kits - and his is all aluminum. If by chance you're in Tampa, FL, he will even install it for free. He has 1 video - search for "2015 Audi Q7 Catch Can Installation" if you want to see it. It's not the best quality video but I can tell from trying to deal with rounding up all of the proprietary valve cover hose fittings for mine that he has a good understanding of Audis. If you don't want to keep dealing with this I would get in touch with him. Tracy Lewis Performance 720A 17th St E Palmetto FL 34221 941-799-7934 [e-mail] rxcatchcans.com/

[@damndanyo]

Rough cost of maintenance like this?

[@carswithsonduren]

The walnut blasting intake cleaning service was $449! Obviously it will depend where you go but I think it is a very good price for the services provided

[@KyleMorelli]

Canadian Rider that’s very good! Need to get it done soon on my 4.2 S5, most VAG shop in Ottawa charges $700-$800 :(

[@carswithsonduren]

Damn that is pretty expensive I'm kind of surprised

[@michaelhu4033]

How long did it take for your service ?

[@carswithsonduren]

He did it in combination with the oil change and air filter changed so it took 2 days

[@shortdom107]

Can this cause vibration I have a gdi engine car rides fine but at idle the entire car vibrates

[@nicolomarchillo4451]

Sounds more like a motor mount issue

[@astongreenhill4985]

Why do you think that is low kilometres?

[@carswithsonduren]

43k kilometers for a 11 year old car id say is pretty low

[@ekinwynn]

Still dirty as hell after blasting...

[@w0lvez1]

Walnut Salesman everywhere. It's very easy to dissolve carbon or convert it to co2. kzbin.info/aero/PLppkgAfZ1SDKacUMrYFZGA3yfOEA00MCe

[@milkalph0ne]

Instead of filming the mouth of the mechanic you should film the engine, the intervention which is the subject of the video, right? What is the subject of the haircut of the mechanic?

[@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS]

no catch can

[@carswithsonduren]

Not sure if there are options for an oil catch can for this car? I remember on my 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 coyote engine I had a catch can

[@garageautosports]

Catch cans definitely help with buildup, although much of the buildup is due to valve overlap, and a lack of port fuel to clean the resulting buildup. Maybe we will build a solution for the 4.2/5.2 😉

[@jschrauwen]

@@garageautosports No one in a geographic area that sees freezing temps should ever use a catch can. If the vacated fluids in the catch can freeze, it could block the PCV flow and create substantial crankcase pressure. If we lived in Florida - by all means.

[@BruceLee-xn3nn]

@@garageautosports run seafoam through the intake every two months.
