Owner seemed like a good customer to deal with, breaks my heart he had to spend so much but good thing he can afford to do so.

[@VAGTechnic]

cool guy , good comunication

[@DontDrinkTheFlavorAid]

A customer that would give me pause, focused on price, wants to drive it like he stole it and starts asking about warranty.

[@davidstocking1622]

When the chain material is harder than the sprocket, the sprocket will normally wear first. High performance engines have a harder life. The cars today are not built to last 20 years. Majority of new car owners swap their cars after 3 years so they don't have to bother too much about doing all the servicing or checks. I know plenty of people who use their vehicles and only worry when the dash lights up.... I'm bloody married to one😂😂 Loving the content Thomas.🤟

[@SimonWilliams-to1mx]

Hi Thomas best afternoons watching so interesting great job Simon

[@Johnny16781]

Top job once again, don't like long service intervals Honesty goes along way😁

[@billymania11]

Yeah you're right. Those little 6 poppers (and even those with turbos), are not enough to pull those big SUV's around town. Only a V8 will do the job. You sure did pick the right automotive car brand to specialize in. You will always be busy!

I'm surprised at all that sound deadening in and around the head area. Another thing that's so clear (and after working on my own cars), knowing how the connectors and hoses are attached makes disconnecting things a breeze.

VW/Audi specialist independent shop technician in USA here, I am curious what the engine codes for the 3.0/2.9 are that you are seeing with roller rocker arm failures. We never see it here in the US and I am curious if it's a Euro spec engine only problem or something different. Love the videos! I wish we could get some of the cool cars that you guys have always had available to you. Keep up the good work!

[@janerik-p6i]

You say at time 28:00 that the zero is the problem because that is the viscosity when the oil is warm. Isn’t it the opposite? The high number indicates the viscosity when warm. So it could be the 20 or 30 that is creating the problem?

[@DontDrinkTheFlavorAid]

Seems like getting that wrap was a good idea now

[@nigelk780]

VAG stuff really is poor these days. I have a 2023 2.0 tdi and now find out the oil pump gear drive (which replaced failing chains) is a wet belt. Seriously this is cost Engineering that results in products to be avoided. I have owned many Porsche Audi etc but its come to an end just buy old or lease cheap. On the oil its the w 20 30 40 number thats most important not the 0w you assert. Yes 5w 30 is more shear stable than 0w30 so longer life but the w 40 is what will save the engine.

[@MystElectric]

I’m a bit confused why the 0W would be the issue with the camshaft sprockets? Isn’t that only the weight equivalent of 0 oil when cold, shouldn’t a good 0w oil with a high HTHS be fine to use?

[@JaredAnderson-v8v]

Lake Speed Junior might have a better opinion on that

[@samuesoeilyoriy6581]

thank god i repair old toyota diesels🙏

[@makantahi3731]

Why is problem with oil in first number-0W, it is cold viscosity and it is better to have oil less viscosity when oil/engine is cold, but it is important what is second number-20/30/40, i think to use in my car 0w30 over winter and 5w40 over summer

[@gerrardalamat9072]

That’s a good question

[@bobansupergenije7512]

Ulja niske viskoznosti ne obezbedjuju debljinu uljnog filma kao ulja nizeg prvog viskoznog broja.Olje Ow u odnosu na recimo 5W ima pet puta tanju uljni film koji stiti od habanja.Niska viskoznost daje vecu fluidnu brzinu podmazivanja na nizim temperaturama ali im je debljina mazivnog filma problematicna.Zadrzavanje ulja na povrsini je takodje na strani ulja veceg viskoznog broja.Ulja nizeg viskoznog broja lakse se skidaju sa zidova cilindra i prave manji otpor pa samim tim se koriste na agregatima koji imaju nizi indeks trenja i na taj nacin postizu vecu snagu.To za posledicu ima da se i vise habaju i ta resenja se primenjuju na trkackim motorima gde je faktor snage najbitniji a ne faktor dugotrajnosti.Materijali koji se koriste na visokoperformansnim motorima se ne koriste u redovnoj proizvodnji i time je radni vek novih agregata znacajno umanjen.Deklarisani intervali zamene ulja su iskljucivo propagandna metoda sa kojom se kupci i korisnici obmanjuju da ce im troskovi eksploatacije biti manji kao i lajf tajm deklaracija za menjace i to je osnovni marketinski trik pridobijanja kupaca.

Haha I'd love to see you spend £8k on a repair. Rocker arm job is listed at £3950 on their website, title says bill doubled... do the maths. Only thing from video he didn't change was water pump, it wasn't faulty it was time due. If it's not broken don't fix it. Simple

I have the 2.9 in my 2021 RS5, any improvements over this Cayenne 2.9, or should I expect the same wear and tear? What mileage on this one again?

when porsche/audi maintenance is involved, the problem is not in the car but in the owner who is never rich enough that it is not a problem for him, and if he were rich enough he would not drive those cars but some more expensive ones which would cause him a problem again

Sprockets made of solid chineseum..👎👎

[@Murphys2ndLaw]

Unfortunate these cars are designed to only be used within the warranty. Due to their over, complexity, compared to maybe some other manufacturers. If you don’t have the skills to fix it yourself or the disposable funds. it would be very poor decision making the purchase one outside of that said p Regrettably, these vehicles are designed to be exclusively utilized within the warranty period. Their inherent complexity, when compared to certain other manufacturers, necessitates specialized expertise or substantial financial investment for repairs. Therefore, purchasing one outside of the warranty period would be an ill-advised decision.
