I rebuilt a wrecked Audi RS6 that i bought from auction and then sent it all the way to America to take part in the car show SEMA. But moments into driving the RS6 in LA the engine seized, so now we have to find out why and start rebuilding this car out in the US.

Hey Mat, every modern Engine have Knocking Sensors. If you put bad fuel like 95 Octane in the Tank, the Car automatically change the Ingition for the Conditions. The Tuner has to recalibrate the Maps for that. But if you turn Off the Knocking System or Component Protection the Car will do everytime the same Performance also with bad Fuel. Otherwise your Engine Pistons or other Components can be broken like in your Video. Greetings from Germany ✌🏻

Pretty surprised the ECU safeties didn’t prevent this. With detonation that bad, it must have had detectable knock long before this failure, I’d have expected a CEL and a limp mode to prevent damage. Surely the knock sensors were de-sensitized.

Agreed. Cali 91 is the worst 91 in the US. Wouldn't even consider it 95 RON. But the car should've pulled timing in an attempt to compensate for the fuel and sent it into limp mode with super knock codes. Combination of bad fuel + tune.

Great vid Matt. Sorry for the poor RS6 engine (been an owner of rs5 and rs6 myself ) The fault is absolutely on tuning and not on the benzine though. Should have gone for dual map on the ECU. I am on the opinion that supercars don’t need any tuning anyway :) .Love your work and vids. Waiting for the part 2 gonna be interesting

Its very kind on the remap shop. I am sure the stock map would have been able to detect the knocking and gone into limp mode before this happened. Regardless of the fuel it was mapped on, it does seem that some of the other safeguards of the stock map may have been removed.

@@peterwilson4344 it’s the tuning or may be the not very professional tuning let’s say. The one mapping the car should have gone for dual maps. In case not then he should have said to Matt that it’s ONLY 99+ octane fuel and not use any other. So I discard your ignorant comment as you didn’t bother to read what i said. YES ITS THE FUEL FOR THIS result OF COURSE..but SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL tuning there would be a dual map or safe (limp mode) in case of knock sensing. If you get a 110v US appliance and plug it to an EU plug of 220v would you blame the power distributor? In case it had a switch you should have switch it yourself in case it didn’t you should have been informed that the boom will happen
