Engine cuts out ! What does it take to work on Audi R8 V10?

[@jondiaz3475]

My neighbor in Chicago had one of the first R8 V10's in the Midwest. His house was 30 meters from mine, but every cold start of that car rattled the plates and cups in our kitchen. What a sound! :)

[@niccots]

Reminds me my neighbor with cayenne turbo s...

[@daleolson3506]

If you were in Chicago how many feet was that?

[@jondiaz3475]

Lol. 110 feet.

Just bought an S5 and fell on this channel by chance. Love it. You sir, are nothing short of a car genius I reckon.

[@andrewross5978]

Great content, been subscribed and watching for a few months now. I think you have a great mix of explanation, video detail while still speeding up certain portions, humor, and content length in a nice 12-15 minute zone. It's not going to provide a full DIY, but after watching many of your videos we can start to see what the typical failures look like, and things to watch out for, whether we consider taking on these tasks ourselves, or being prepared if we take it to a shop. Keep up the hard work, we all appreciate the time you put into this!

Man. What a pain. I easily and without hesitation open up and close up human hard and soft tissue everyday, but am scared poopless to get in to a car like this. He’s a true automotive Doc.

This channel definitely deserves more subscribers. Quality content. Could you do a video in which you would tell how you got into working on cars and especially VAG cars? Would be nice to hear some background to all this.

Great video and a really interesting channel to follow. Can’t wait for the rs6 c5 video. I owned one in 2010 and daren’t touch it myself with spanner’s. Luckily it had full extended warranty and engine was out 3 times in 18 months. 2 transmissions and several sensors. Hope you have great success with your channel - you guys deserve it. 👍

You guys make that look really easy, how long have you guys worked with Audis?

Excellent video lads. You sure now your VAG stuff. Keep the videos coming

[@brennanlukas5467]

surprised the owner did not opt for a carbon clean seeing as 90% of the labor would have overlapped even though it looked pretty clean. keep up the videos, your shop would be my dream job as a vw audi enthusiast. I just did the chains on my b6s4 is my garage and used your videos as reference material. greetings from the midwestern united states!

it was just sort out the problem and the car went for sale. New owner is coming for service afterwards anyways ... its all abot the ££££££

yes, you are right, I started crying when saw that, I had three day job to tear apart and put back together engine just to clean carbon. And lot of blood on my hands.

I was thinking about buying an Audi, but as I see the access to engine is even worse than in corvette :))) thank you for all the detailed videos, thanks them I have more clear view about construction details of those cars.

[@miceinoz1181]

I am a new subscriber to the channel as I only recently discovered you. My work is primarily BMW and GM, but while I love your channel, it certainly puts me off doing anything on Audi's for sure. While BMW's have their challenges, Audis are next level frustration. Well done.

[@daniellll6470]

You need to Move to USA and open a shop here. That's if you don't have one yet! You are extremely talented

[@GNX157]

After watching just a handful of your videos, one things is for sure, and that is I’d never ever own an Audi. That said, I appreciate seeing you use fender covers. I used them always during my time as a tech, going back to the mid-80’s. I’ve mentioned on other channels why they don’t and was roundly attacked by the channel fans for even asking. Also a buckle-less belt or buckle turned to the side.

[@robertslegers257]

Anyone who wants to buy an R8 should have to watch this video first.

[@aukanmeister]

I still want the V8 content, even though you have done them before. I'm in the market for a B7 S4, and I now know a lot more than before because of your channel. Love the manual geared cars with the highest level of engineering possible. It helps me to know what to look for when buying one. You do interesting content, because many other channels does not go deep enough on the technical stuff, or they just don't know what they are talking about. You certainly do! Fresh sub and follow on IG from me! I've binged almost all your vids. You really do a great job!

You guys must have good memories. I'm ok taking things apart, but the complexity of taking some engines apart and then reinstalling them in the same path would be well beyond me. Kudos to you. It's hard to understand the cost saving of making EV's. Just a motor, cabling and control box's. No vacuum pipes, no injectors, no throttle bodies, no plugs, no air/fuel/oxy sensors, no cam chains, no belts, no timing issues... Just a sign of the the times...
