[@ausintune9014]

@@Hoch134 i think its more of the engineers at audi just didnt consider this and want every oppurtunity to prove how they got 1 more horsepower using a 1 dollar part for that pay raise..

[@Hoch134]

​@@ausintune9014 I understand why they would implement that. It makes sense to filter liquids and air and those things act as a safety mechanism. My point is that they continued to use them even after experiencing many faults over the years. Many people don't know about these meshs and get problems with overheating components of the turbo or the engine itself. And that is not longer 'not considering' or 'forgetting' but it is basically planned obsolescence.

[@komentierer]

About the coolant reservoir: There are clamps to block the coolant hoses, if you work on VAG cars, these are your best friend in the world. By using those you don't have to drain the entire loop. In addition, believe it or not, there is actually a VAG specialty tool for.. well... it's literally a giant syringe to suck the coolant out of the reservoir. Also a VERY IMPORTANT disclaimer: When you refill the coolant after you drain it completely, you HAVE to refill it using negative pressure. Sounds counterintuitive, but it's the only way to do it, otherwise you are going to have air in the system. This is one of the ways to do that: Use a Venturi Nozzle to pull a vacuum on the entire system with compressed air. A T-Piece with a valve on each input will allow you to hold that vacuum, and a coolant container attached to the other input of the T-piece via a hose will allow the coolant to be sucked into the vacuum of your car's coolant system once you've achieved that vacuum. Sounds weird as f*ck, but you have to do it this way on many modern VAG engines, especially this one.. and it's also quicker than doing it the "normal" way, once you've made the tool. Edit: I just saw that you already addressed that last part in your video.

The first thing I thought of when watching this video was, "ah, so thats how audi decided to fix premature turbo failure that plagued the B5 series of audis" The reason those turbos failed was from the bearings wearing out from dirty oil, this filter keeps those turbos going. Replacing the filter is cheaper than replacing the turbos.

I dry heave whenever someone says “German engineering.” I’ve yet to work on a German car and think to myself “wow, that was an ingenious way to design that!” I always end up hours later, laying under it, surrounded by every tool I own, contemplating pulling the car on top of myself. One time use hose clamps, one time use bolts, hard plastic hose and coolant flanges that go brittle, “life time transmission fluid” that kills the transmission, electrical gremlins that break and fix themselves, etc. A famous German once said “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” I’ve only ever experienced that with Japanese cars.

[@row0111]

Which makes me wonder why I am watching this video

[@herbertkraft7379]

I think the big difference is the "good for mechanics" engeneering and the "good for the customer who pays money" engeneering. Rich (german) dudes want cars that can do everything, are fast and comfortable. If you can buy a new Audi RS7 you probably have enough money on your hand to pay a guy to repair it for you. Toyota has a different approach to their cars. The reason you see Toyota pick ups driving on farms everywhere (exept maybe USA) is because they make cars that do the "bare minimum" (wich is still a lot) but if you break down somewhere yo can easyly fix your car. There is no night vision camera and shit in the way. And the dope part is, you can get Toyota parts everywhere. Sometimes they are even interchangeable between models. The customers are two different groups. German Luxury cars are for people who want the best car, Asian cars are for people who want the best car to work with.

[@totalyep]

Japanese cars are complex too, but they know what they are doing and design them correctly. Speaking as an engineer, it’s easy to make something complicated, it’s very hard to make it reliable. I find it so irritating that almost every German car, even ones you can buy new today, will be leaking oil from somewhere after 3 years of service. There is just no excuse for this.

[@GetJobDoneofficial]

Yes, the engineering is so solid that is so though to get through places under the hood, for instance have you ever worked on Porsches engines? That experience just left me with some nightmares no wonder they charge THE FEE

[@machedari]

Ive had nightmares with all new german cars while my 98 Lexus LS400 keeps chugging. I pull some parts from other toyotas sometimes to keep it running. Thing is better than any german engineering if you ask me.

Any mechanic could have told them this was a BAD idea.

[@DJ-nn6vg]

$100 says there are extra parts left when the car is all “reassembled”

[@Veikra]

thats called weight reduction

[@bariamtak]

Yep, me too.

[@Mr.Ramirez95]

Sometimes they provide extra hardware.

[@bariamtak]

@@Mr.Ramirez95 lmao

[@richardeasther2569]

How do you know it’s been fixed if you don’t have a few parts left over

[@chitown38]

I am here because I just read your story in the September 2020 issue of Car and Driver. Bam just subscribed to your channel!!!

[@Orion801airsoft]

Rich, your videos are the best. Keep up that awesome sense of humor.

[@Guinn355Fan]

Oh man I died laughing at the rat cemetery!! Well done Rich.

[@philliphobkirk6577]

Hey rich, great video, as always. Removing those crimp clamps is easier with a good pair of wire cutters (knipex) and just replace them with standard hose clamps. They all do the squeezy squeezy

[@JeremiahJWiggins]

Rich you got me dying at “20:00” with the grave site... babahahahahaaa 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😆😆 Rip Sturat Little... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Bruh😂😂🤣🤣😵

[@Orcinus1967]

Ratatouille was my favorite. RIP ya little bastard!

[@georgepelton5645]

OMG! My mind boggles at the work required. Good Luck Rich! If you get this done you definitely deserve a tall cool beer. Or two. 😀

[@nickjimmy13]

I was late to the video; but we def need rs7, zo6 and most definitely humvee content.

[@2Meals]

Dude... You are an inspiration! You know so much. You are such great speaker too. Respect!! 👏👏

[@straatman12345]

Absolutely love your channel and videos! Keep up the good work! I have an F31 3 series estate but my God I would love an A7 (will never be able to afford an RS7 haha!)

[@xavierharrison4184]

Love the new content. I had a Jetta 97 with 200k mileage. As my first car and had the same head ache you were going through. Finally after like 5 cars down the line. Stuck on honda. Just don't fight it.

[@timlyons5191]

I love your sense of humor it’s a laugh a minute keep the content coming

[@davisdesigns1153]

how is it possible to make a video repairing an Audi this enjoyable ? 😂

[@grahamrobson9292]

Great video Rich is the only one who investigated the horrendous engineering mess of one time bolts clips.

[@kellymurphystl]

Love the bedazzled flip-flops!! Made me think of Paul Diamond's "Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes". And OUCH! Walking on those seems like it would hurt your feet! You're a good dad, Rich!!

[@InfoRanker]

Just look at that engine compartment! There is no space at all, it's completely used up. It blows me away how people work on these things. I remember back in the day you had tons of room in the engine compartment to work on stuff. Now, there's NO room at all. It's crazy. Makes me want to go electric but I suspect that has similar spacial design decisions.

[@henria.277]

Everything is packed tightly to improve thermal efficiency mainly.

[@Thegoose95]

Heavy duty semi engines now look even worse than this audi. Even with the hoods tilting foward, there's still no room to work on it lmao.

[@VioletPrism]

@@Thegoose95 lmao what truck are you working on m8?

[@girthquake1413]

Eh, the EV world has a different set of problems. Cramming everything into the skateboard underneath means some jobs require the body to be removed, which isn't hard but needs it's own weird tools.

[@paulcamire]

Girth Quake its not quite a skateboard. Battery, front and rear subframes. Most EVs have a spacious easy to service “engine” compartment. Those with frunks you’d need to remove some trim panels or access from underneath. Coming from a Volt, Leaf and BoltEV owner.

[@thespectator2976]

HAHAHAHAHA, "is the car getting air? yes. GOOOOOD"

[@copefrazier]

Really like the look of the RS7, but after your video, very happy with my car as it’s more reliable, and easier to service. Best of luck on this!

[@deeperthrottle3577]

“Engineering Negligence” on the part of Audi. Yet another Audi engineering issues worthy of class action litigation on behalf of all owners similarly situated.

[@BaMenace]

0:35 for God's sake and your children's sake.. please secure that winch hook end to something... before it snags on something while you're traveling at 102mph

[@peterparker6584]

I really didn't want to say it thank you for being polite and doing a better job of mentioning the issue

[@BaMenace]

@@peterparker6584 I'd prefer to watch his videos without him in a wheelchair..

[@titaniumdiveknife]

Rich please do this?

[@torogarage8037]

I had a 911 turbo. That was an engine drop to change the spark plugs. Sold it before I had to do that. Lol

[@jayk7781]

Anytime you are removing screws always use painters tape to close off any ports in the car such as your heads or intake. Great video.

[@Jaja46930]

I love your videos! Gives me so much inspiration. 🙌🏻👌🏻 Wish I could find a project car.

[@AndyFromm]

Put that damn oil screen in the trash, no other turbo system uses that...

[@geoff3320]

Subaru uses screens in their turbo oil feed lines, inside the banjo bolts.

[@AndyFromm]

@@geoff3320 did not know that.

[@islandlifevlogs5957]

Interestingly subaru had a recall asking dealers to remove the screens .. unfortunately 2 weeks ago I blew 2 Turbo’s because of the screens which I didn’t know about until I did the research ... now am waiting for an aftermarket oil feed system for the turbo and avcs ... sigh hate these dam oil screens .. I have an oil filter cleaning the oil is it’s job

[@xplore7359]

Ford Australia used them in the turbo Barras too, same result - dead turbo.

[@AndyFromm]

Engineered failure points?

[@pcarfan1676]

The mouse graveyard scene had me rolling!! 🤣🤣

[@dolamyte]

Changed my oil the other day and couldn't see the sun through the filter either. Deleting it too, thanks for the tip!!

[@erikstrom1460]

Thanks Rich for making me laugh! Can’t wait for your weekly uploads. Cheers

[@quallzone6219]

"German cars are like supermodels" -- HAHAHA! 1. Have you considered installing an *Oil* *Catch* *Can* in an easily accessible location? Since you are removing the turbo filter screen, a Catch Can will prevent lots of PCV "sludge" from re-entering the engine. 2. What type of diagnostic sofware are you using? Instead of a generic OBDII reader, please consider *VCDS* software and cable from *Ross-Tech* . No, I am not an employee of Ross-Tech, Inc. 3. Those *flip-flops* are fresh! Do you and your daughter have an Etsy site?

[@houseofno]

I'm sorry, did you ACTUALLY watch the video or do you just troll the comments section? Which nonexistent available "serviceable" location are you talking about? There isn't a single square inch of available space under that car's hood. It's as if Audi shrink wrapped the car around the engine.

[@nicbrownable]

Brian Weir I bet you they are so clever that they have software to automatically optimise engine/car packaging.

[@a2cryss]

I thought I wanted one of these but, nope - cured.

Great video. Question tough: At 28:48 you talked about filling the coolant in the next video. Couldn’t find that part in any video. Need to do exactly that part tomorrow. The screen ruined my turbo’s. Almost finished. Thnx for the clear explanation vid’s. Grtz from the Netherlands.

[@c-martz2846]

Rich, while you have the magic of editing while I have the power to fast forward XDDDDD. Just binging on your Audi videos even though I have toyotas on my driveway. Gr8 Vid!
