Literally just been looking to purchase a 2017 s5... Thank goodness I came across this channel!

[@Steve_with_coffee]

I have a B9 S5 that had a version of this issue. At about 60k miles I noticed a sound very like a failed lifter or a tappet badly out of adjustment, so called the dealership and took it in. They ultimately discovered a single rocker with what looked to be a missing needle, but absolutely nothing in the oil, no issues otherwise. Replaced all the rockers with the updated units, and a camshaft for good measure. I always take all the parts from these jobs home just to look them over and the bad rocker had all the movement of the one you show, and looked like it had a missing needle, so I took a grinder to it and pulled the center pin out. What I found was fascinating...all the needles were present, and the center pin had been worn on one half so much that it looked a bit line a small camshaft. The 'missing' needle was just rotated inside the roller. It reminds me of the issue with cam adjuster pin hardness on some 4.2s (like the one in my C5 allroad). My suspicion is that QC failed to notice inadequate hardening at multiple stages in the supply chain and this is the result. To their credit Audi let my service advisor decide what needed to be done, after he asked what I wanted replaced, and the car hasn't had a hiccup since. All under warranty, thankfully! I'm going to set all the parts of the rocker in resin as a paperweight.

[@daveross4091]

hi i take it you still had audi warrenty? i spoke to audi uk and they deny all knowledge of a problem happening

[@Steve_with_coffee]

@@daveross4091 Yeah, I bought the extended warranty when I bought the car. First gen teething problems and all, but I tend to keep my cars for a long time so it's an expense I can live with. However, this is a QC issue like the oil consumption issue and Audi should cover it in any case. If you want, I'll sent pics of the rocker I took apart. That they redesigned them tells us all we need to know. I was lucky that all the needles stayed in and the entire rocker didn't jump out, but like the cam adjuster pin hardening problems in the past, or poor quality chain ramps, or oil consumption, it's something they need to address up front. The PR would be great.

[@shotta287]

The tuning companies I spoke with all said the same thing they never had an issue they all have the first generation early 2018 B9’s which have been highly tuned and used hard in testing .

Audi redesigned the rockers for a reason, the bigger question is why does this engine even have rockers instead of cam buckets?! rockers belong on pushrod engines... at least you can get to them easy on those kind of engines for when they need replacement or repair.

That's truly horrific quality from Audi. This is made worse still by how difficult it is to do a relatively basic service task like a carbon clean.

Pretty much a PCV's vent back into the intake manifold. Everything I have worked on outside of jet engines, had pcv's that vent back into the intake system to be burned.

[@billymania11]

Turbo motors are powerful but complex and have design drawbacks. The issue in many cases is that the boost pressure pushes combustion gases past the rings into the crankcase and oil. The PCV captures much of that and pumps it back into the intake system. Obviously that leads to fouled intake valves. Tuning makes the problem worse as boost is increased. In the case of AUDI, the rockers are an additional weak point.

I've been waiting this video for so long, and i loved every minute of it. Really good job, im waiting for more content. And sorry but i have to ask, the more i watch your videos the more im worried. I have a 2016 audi A4 tdi dsg, and sometimes when the engine is cold im getting some vibrations on D or R,but only when cold and stopped and after some seconds. Should i come there and take a look ? :p

[@vivanbhathena999]

after installing the rocker arms did you have to set timing or something like that? also wha is the part no for th new rockers?

[@nigelcaine3061]

The owner must very disappointed with main Audi dealer, all servicing and oil changes done early and to correct timings and Audi dealer knows of issues and just quotes £24K and says take it or leave it....BTW great job guys.

Audi supposedly fixed this issue on the B9.5 platforms. Idk abt the 2020 models but defiantly 2021 and forward
