Hi All, I wanted to share some important gun safety tips along with showing you my Colt .45 1911. This 1911 is a rare bread. It was sent from the U.S. Government to the British to use in the World War. Before World War II some of the British Colts were sent back which were chambered in .455 (a rare round used by the British). The U.S. Government swapped the lower receiver along with the magazin...

I would not recommend resetting your Transmission every chance you get. Thats why I did not reset mine in the video. Hold your foot on the gas while car is completely off for 15 seconds. Then push the key to the on position, not start. Then push the key to the off position continue to hold the gas pedal down for an additional 5 seconds. Let go of the pedal then start the car and drive. I hope t...

Audi S5 V8 Just for Fun
Переглядів 8152 роки тому
If I get enough views I’ll start making videos on my car.
Have you ever had an issue with the rear breaks locking after replacing break pads
Wow, didnt mean to hurt your feelings about the grease comment but i wasnt the only one who commented on it. You need to be able to take honest constructive criticism if youre going to continue to make these videos. I truely appreciate people making DIY videos but as you probably know there is no filter on whether they are correct other than your peers leaving comments like i did. Honestly, do you really believe putting grease on areas that have no contact with any other part is the correct thing to do? Of course not. To let you know I have done a video to fix the seat play in your power chevy seat.- over the years it got 62,000 hits. Although I was never an auto mechanic by profession I have a degree in mechanical engineering, i spent 32 years doing rocket engine design for the Space Shuttle Main Engines.and other missile systems I restore old british motorcycles and cars and I own a prototype design and CNC machine shop producing medical devices and aircraft parts. I'm also a pilot and do all my own annuals. My comments to you about your video were honest and well meaning, I'm sorry they seemed to upset you. About my lock tight suggestion, automotive brake systems are subjected to high vibration and cyclic loading and heating and I'm pretty sure the manufacturer used lock tight on most of the system elements. Please keep making these videos because they are very helpful for most people trying to learn how to fix their vehicles.
@@FabtecS5 Right, and I was the president for 4 years.
@@thespartanproject001 I'm sure I didn't vote for you. Watch your own video, the two bolts you took out to remove the caliper had blue locktite on them - GUESS WHAT - you do need it. By the way, you should start buying that "brake grease" by the drum if you're going to continue painting every square inch of the brake system with it. Lastly, if you don't want honest and constructive criticism don't ask for comments Mr. President.
@@kirkspiegel3951 Thank you for acknowledging my position. And lastly I have 10 drums of grease… you need some?
kind of went wild with that anti-seize grease, didn't you?
Way too much grease on the front and back pads in areas that had no contact with anything. All that extra grease will do nothing but make sure you build up a ton of dirt on your new pads. When it comes to brakes and grease less is best. You should have checked the grease on the pad carriage pins. The rubber flex boots crack over time and can leak a little water in that starts rust and corrosion on the pin. You didn’t mention replacing the bolts you removed with a few drops of blue thread lock - those bolts are pretty critical and also have a torque specification. Not to beat you up too much but how do you know you hadn’t already tightened the lug nuts too much with the impact gun before the final power arm tightening - always use a torque wrench. Brake jobs aren’t hard to do but they are critical components and need to be serviced correctly.
@@kirkspiegel3951 Never had a problem. My Dad’s been doing this for 40+ years. He was a mechanic and has had a wide variety of vehicles over the course of his life. You don’t have to do it like us, but if there’s no one like us showing people how to do it, then who will? You’re certainly not. Go make you’re own videos don’t come into my channel and tell me “YOU PUT TOO MUCH GREASE”. You’re right I didn’t mention thread lock on the bolts cause guess what…. You don’t need it. Go back and watch the end of the video again, Listen to what my dad says about over torquing and under torquing the lug nuts. He’s done this for 40+ years and knows what torque by feeling it. He states “The proper way to Torque them is to use a torque Wrench but I’ve been doing this for so many years I know by just feeling.”Also, if you’re not familiar with an air compressor, you can set the limit of PSI for the task at hand. The torque gun has a limit of 100 ft lb of torque.
That car show was so fun great seeing you dude 😎😎
Wow that looks awesome!
Yooooo dude thanks for the epic shoutout I really appreciate it. Video was awesome cool
Are you any good with supercharged b8 4.2 fueling issues ?
I’m sorry, I’m not experienced in this area. Mine is naturally aspirated. What is happening? Are you getting codes or having problems in general?
@@thespartanproject001 bit of both. Started with EPC light no CEL and under hard acceleration above 4k rpm epc light and would go to soft limp mode break up under load. Figured HPFP like usual they have however been replaced with aftermarket high flow jhm pumps already as it is a boosted/tuned build. Next time driving CEL with no drivability symptoms codes came back P0087 fuel rail pressure low and p310b low pressure fuel regulation . Couple evap codes and 02 sensor codes as well (car is catless) not sure where to start lol I’ve only ever had a stock NA 4.2
@@joeg2286 what fuel do you normally put in it? Also how long ago did you replace the high pressure fuel pumps?
Thanks bro
Great video. Is it the same for 2009 528i Xdrive? I can't find video on that year. Thanks.
Yes, they are the same.
2010 S5 limp mode after hard acceleration in sport fuel filter or hpfp could be? plugs and coils 25k ago injectors havent been done @ 85k no CEL fuel guage is also wonky
HPFPs are the issue. Mine did the exact same thing when I accelerated to a higher rpm limp mode kicked on along with an EPC light.
How’d it turn out?
Exhaust setup?
Its stock. The only thing we did to it was cut off the resonator.
i just got brand new HPFP put in 3 weeks ago and Lpfp abt 6 months ago, and then a few days after the Hpfp was changed i got a flashing CEL with misfires on cylinder 4 after a cold start, turned the car off and on and all was good, everything was fine for the next two weeks then on a colder morning 28°F it misfired on cylinder 8. Both times happen when i first put my car in reverse to back out of the drive way and go away when i turn the car off and on. Car still feels super weird on cold mornings, abnormally weird. any ideas what this could be. No active CELs rn
Have you changed your spark plugs or ignition coils?
@@thespartanproject001 funny you respond now lol, im going to get them changed out in 30 minutes
@@thespartanproject001 changed them out and the spark plugs had oil on them😟 coils were dry except for the tips of them, i had a new manifold gasket and spark seals put on 10k miles ago
@@ECExotics when I replaced my ignition coils and spark plugs there was oil around my spark plugs too. I’ve got to replace my valve cover gasket soon.
Bro looks like tour oil filter housing is leaking an the oil falls to the from of the motor im dropping a vehicle on mine cleaning the carbon too
Indeed, I have replaced it with an ECS tuning cover
I love my 2012 S5 144k miles
Same, I have 134k miles
Bro u need that RS5 grill
This is an older video. I do have an after market grill. I’ll see if I can send a picture.
Hey bro did you pull out the black cap or left it
Which black cap are you referring to? The one on the new fuel pump we installed?
@thespartanproject001 Hey yea on the new fuel pump. On my old I didn't have a the black cap
@@deadwingsofheaven yes we did. Mine didn’t have one on it originally either, which was very strange. It’s really good because it doesn’t allow fuel to be sent back into your car. All of the OEMs should have this but they don’t.
@thespartanproject001 Thanks a million. I left the cap, followed your video step by step, and you're the man and thank you. Liked and subscribed!
@@deadwingsofheaven anytime brother that’s what I’m here for. I have a video coming up and I’m going to explain an evap leak problem I had. Stay tuned. Thank you!
Will this method work on a 2012 Audi A5 Quattro ?
Yes, here is the fuel pump for your car, I sent one from carparts and one from FCP euro. www.carparts.com/details/Audi/A5/DriveMotive/Fuel_Pump/2012/RA31450005.html?TID=bngpla&origin=%7Badtype%7D&&&&&msclkid=f6a6e79e0e6a1659429d835bed7f1b7c&BST%20-%203PB%20-%20DriveMotive&BST%20-%203PB%20-%20DriveMotive&gclid=f6a6e79e0e6a1659429d835bed7f1b7c&gclsrc=3p.ds.

Thanks
Do you need to retract the electronic brake afterwards or does it automatically just adjust it self??
I’m very extremely sorry for the late response. Once you push the brake pedal the caliper will automatically adjust. I hope this answers your question. If it doesn’t please respond I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Where do u get that tool for the caliper and wats it called

Nice video man, I’m about to do this as a preventive maintenance, my S5 sitting at 220 kms. Did you disconnect the battery as well? How about the coding process after? Thanks!
I didn’t disconnect the battery. I knew that no one would start it without me knowing. But if you’re scared someone will start it definitely disconnect it. We also reset the code. But due to this not being the main issue the code came back. The main problem was the high pressure fuel pumps. After my dad and I replaced the HPFPs all codes were gone.
@@thespartanproject001was the code P0087?
@@adriansolis3072 Yes, I did get this code but when I replaced the fuel pump it didn’t erase the two codes I had. I replaced the high pressure fuel pumps and the codes went away. Below is a link to my other video about the codes. Also if you need to know how to change the HPFPs look at my channel. We gave a step by step video on how to do it properly. ua-cam.com/video/MQ4fK3Ptf0M/v-deo.htmlsi=abi0zZR2NX672xFK
I have the same problem a have the check engine light flashing only on heavy loads but if I continue to accelerate EPC light came on also. What do you think it can be? I have change spark, plugs, fuel filter. Coil pack but still nothing.
It’s one of two things. It could be your fuel pump or the two high pressure fuel pumps. We have replaced both the fuel pump and high pressure fuel pumps in our videos.
@@thespartanproject001 i also have a leak on the hpfp sensor only on cold start maybe this is the problem ?
@@Stark707. have you checked the codes on your check engine light?
@@thespartanproject001 i have misfire code engine, mount code intake, manifold runner fuel pressure regulator circuit.
O2 sensor also
Great! I’m going to try this after i drive it later
Awesome, I hope it helps.
@@thespartanproject001 Not sure if you could help, im getting engine code P2014 in my S5, i’ve gotten it before but it went away after two starts, hasn’t gone away yet lol
@@ECExotics I haven’t had this problem yet but here’s a link to reasons why it is on. www.engine-codes.com/p2014_audi.html
Thanks for the video, just had to order one and i’m going to install it myself. Any difference in the Bosch and the Oem other then the $600 difference?
Really there was not a difference between them. They both fit the exact same. The biggest difference is the price. Genuine Audi parts are very expensive. Also Bosch has been making performance parts for a long time. I will say one tip when you are installing the new pump the two metal rods lift up and down. Thank you for your comment and if you have any problems during your install please feel free to comment with any questions or concerns.
@@thespartanproject001 Thanks a lot for the response, will comment and let you know how it goes tomorrow!
@@ECExotics Hey Brother, just checking in on you. How did it go replacing your pump?
@@thespartanproject001 Ye just finished up, literally took 10 minutes, EPC light and engine light for fuel pressure relay or something came on and ran rich for a minute but after that it runs so much better, so glad i saw this Video! thanks alot
@@ECExotics Awesome, I’m so glad we could help!
What symptoms or codes was you getting for this please ?
P2293/$07E8 Fuel pressure regulator 2 performance and P0087/$07E8 Fuel rail/system pressure too low. But as we realized later on these codes were not related to the fuel pump. It was the high pressure fuel pump located on the top of the engine. I have a high pressure fuel pump replacement video just click on my channel and you will be able to see it. Sorry for the late response.
Oh I forgot to include the symptoms. It was in limp mode. The rpm’s wouldn’t go past 3,000. The EPC light was also illuminated.
@The Spartan Project thanks for the reply guys, my car is struggling to start and I'm getting P0087 and a occasional EPC light but it's still running OK so it's probably early days of the high pressure pumps failing, looks easy enough to diy after watching your vids.👍

Very informative!!!
Very well set up and informative!
