Cylinder head is repairable as long as it passes a pressure test before any machining is done ,new valve seats ,new valve guides on that cylinder ,new valves and a spark plug helicoil . dont worry about the bruising in the combustion chamber as its only cosmetic . wear in the valve guides can put a sideways load on the spring and cause it to fail

As others have already commented - it is not a good reflection on Audi that these engines seem to fail in serious ways at quite low mileages, reasonably often. IMO, the valve spring is the root cause. That is why as mentioned early in the first episode, the vehicle ran sick for a while before the valve dropped completely. and stopped it. Audi used to be able to build a durable engine. I have a C4 A6 with the 5 cylinder TDI currently on 352k, never been opened and still going fine. The 5 pot petrol turbos in the early S cars can do big mileages too, as can the older 32V V8s.

Hello VAG Technic, I hope this message finds you well. I am a fan of your videos from Chile, and I particularly appreciate the detailed content on repairing RS4 B8 models. I own an RS4 B8 myself and have been inspired to perform some repairs following your tutorials. I am reaching out to kindly ask if you could share information on where you source the various parts used in your videos. I am interested in attempting some repairs on my RS4, and having access to the same quality parts would be immensely helpful. If you could provide details or recommendations on reliable suppliers, I would be very grateful. Your videos have been a tremendous resource for DIY enthusiasts like me, and I'm considering taking on more tasks independently. If it becomes a bit overwhelming to hire professional assistance, having access to the right parts is crucial. Thank you for your time and for sharing your expertise through your videos. I greatly appreciate the valuable content you create.

These are about 30k , this car was 10k , a working engine is £9000 Ono , in my opinion repairing a damaged engine is very dangerous as if it goes wrong once you’ve spent £6000 on it you’ll wish you offered £8000 for a perfect engine running . Thing is if one valve spring can damage what’s to say it won’t happen again ? Either way with a secondhand motor I’d expect this car to be £22k running if this garage charges around £3000-£3500 to replace

The thought of a broken valve spring causing all that damage is scary. I think there is a question for Audi about their quality. I owned two and would never go there again. That said, this looks like a fascinating repair job, the only issue being for the owner to have the available money to fix it. I do feel for you when you're having to negotiate with the owner to get the funds to proceed. I think there is an experience and wisdom element of running a car of this age and complexity. Good job you can't teach wisdom. I'm sure the owner will get a good job. I'll be interested in that cylinder head repairability. It looks Goodnight Vienna to me. Thank you.

Breaking a valve spring in any car can result in catastrophic damage, unless you have an old side valve engine.... Audi does not manufacture the valve springs, so questioning Audi quality because one breaks is childish. You will have noted that the owner of this car did not bother with maintenance either, that engine was filthy inside. He also didn't seem to use the required premium fuel judging by the state of the combustion chambers. I'm not saying the lack of oil change broke the spring, but tracking the car and revving till valve bounce on dirty oil might have contributed.

@@einfelder8262 There is plenty of evidence that German car quality uses some cheap parts. The new CEO of Volkswagen has admitted this and said he intends to improve quality under his watch. You are clearly an Audi fan and I did not want to upset you. I know the factory in Hungary that produces all these engines. It is very impressive at how it produces cars. I owned two new Audis, the last one was a 2006 build. I had so many problems with it, it had to go. All this was within warranty but is was the hassle factor. Nobody will listen to an old fool like me. I used to rebuild engines for a living and I would love to see the quality pendulum swing a bit towards some quality parts, especially in key component areas. Chain guides made from old Yoghurt pots can't be right. It seems to me that the Americans taught the Germans how to build in obsolescence. Strip a 20 year old Porsche engine and just look at the timing chain and associated part quality.
