As a C5 RS6 home mechanic, I enjoyed this video a lot. Nice car, nice garage 👍🏽 I have a SJP (suction jet pump) to do on mine which is in the middle of the ‘V’ under the intake manifold. So can relate to your troubles even though you have a ‘hot V’ Keep up the good work and editing skills 🙂
Hey thanks for watching, pleased you enjoyed the video. Literally no idea what I am doing but learning very quickly. I am a big fan of giving things a go and learning from mistakes, as long as its not a catastrophic mistake lol. Love the C5 also, still has a such a great presence on the road.
Hey thanks for your amazing comment and support. Its quite a lot of work but hopefully this will give you some confidence to have a go :D. You can learn from my mistakes lol Thanks for watching and happy motoring.
Fairplay pal - I'd be shittin a brick if i done this on my own................. at least now, if i have to do it at some point, i can refer to this!! Cheers m8.
Awesome DIY, I have the same car here in Brazil, I'll also try this job myself, probably... I'm still waiting for parts to arrive. Your channel is much appreciated, the car is such a gem, I've had it for a couple of years, but it's come time for heavier maintenances.
Hi, thank you so much for the kind feedback. Its amazing to know my videos are reaching fellow RS6 enthusiasts in other corners of the globe. Hopefully my videos will give you a good idea about what's involved. Its a lot of work but if you have the time, space and tools and you attack it with confidence you will do great. Best of luck and thanks for watching :D
Hey thanks for the amazing feedback, comments like you'rs make all the hours of work worth while, greatly appreciated. Just working on the final editing now for Part 2 so stayed tuned this Friday for more of the same :). Thanks for your support.
Subbed. Had the oil separator and PCV done under warranty a week after getting my C7 (when Audi finally made the problem official) Also loving the garage. I’ve just had my garage extended so I could fit the RS6 in, with pretty much the same roller door. Just need to do the flooring and get some decent lighting so I can get some paint correction done. Keep up the great content!
Hey thanks for the kind words and support. Having a garage big enough to house your RS6 will be a game changer! Not to mention complimentary on the insurance premiums I am sure. I can recommend Duramats and their skirting board for the flooring, that's what I used. Hope you enjoy the next video :)
Wow! How do you remember where everything goes 😅 Looking forward to seeing you putting the RS6 puzzle back together again in the next part! Glad to see you keep showing your PVC suit off in the video 😉 Keep up the good work!
massive respect the fact that youre tackling this at home, i like to tinker and dont mind simple jobs but feel like this is too much for me... starting to feel a slight hesitation under light acceleration so im afraid i might have to do PCV soon too...
Hi thanks for your comment and kind words of support. It has been a big learning curve with a few squeaky bum moments off camera but all worth it in the end. At least now you know what's involved fully if you need to change yours and what to expect from a garage interns of labour time etc. Good luck with it :)
Nice video man, i just got the PCV and oil screen replaced on my C7 S6 last week, watching this no wonder it was 3 and a half days at the mechanics haha 😂😂 basically ripping half the car apart.
Haha it's pretty full on and I keep finding more jobs to do! I hope the garage bill wasn't too eye watering on the S6!!! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Loving the support :D
Great work! Clear instructions, well explained and great footage. Too often you find instructional videos missing vital steps! I note there are two deep torx screws either side of the bumper that is not easy to reach. Would have been great if you showed what you used to get to them.
Hey thanks for the amazing feedback and support, SOOO much appreciated. Yes there are three tricky 10mm bolts to undo that hold the side brackets on. Easier to take out with the wheel and arch lining off. I'll show them clearly on the reinstall video. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment. :D
No problem at all. It appears several people on the RS6 C& FB group have picked up on your videos too. Just the other day someone shared a link to one of your vids on the group.
Unfortunately coolant leaks are a common issue, easy to fix but a pain in the butt to get to as you can see lol. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, hope that doesn't put you off getting an RS6 or similar!
Hi, no I didn't get any of those signs, in fact I think my PCV unit was actually ok in the end, but I changed it anyway for good measure. However I can confirm the suction that I got on the clip shown before changing it was the same after I changes it. These engines seem to have a lot of suck lol
@@InDadsGarage i am getting missfire and partial loss of water so I am straight to check sparkplugs and afterwards chargecooler , looks like a leak in there
Hi thanks for your comment. Initially (and still do) had the smell of fuel in my oil, even after changing the HPFP's. I decided the change the PCV unit in an attempt to tick off possible problems causing this smell but also future proof the car from common failure points. While in there I decided to re-do the Audi oil strainer recall and replace the check oil valve underneath. Finally I have replace the thermostat housing (check out new video) and got the car back together. As it happened I didn't have any of the common PCV unit signs of failure so the unit was probably still OK, but they are know to fail around the 40-50K miles point, which is what my car is now on so a good job done. Thanks for watching

Unbelievable! Nicely done! Not sure I’m going to tackle this on my 2014 S6…. But if I do - fantastic content to help me get it done. 👍👍👍

Stay tuned, I am going to be doing a full video review soon on the PVC suit and the modifications I have done to it.
What a beautiful mess of an engine bay😅great content
Couldn't have put it better myself! lol. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I hope you enjoy the next instalment. :)
great garage setup
Thank you. I’m really lucky to have a space like this to mess around in and out of the British weather 🌦️
Loving your work!
Thanks you so much for watching and sharing the love 💪
Brilliant video, hooked!
Amazing to hear, thank you so much for your kind feedback and support :D
Good job. That rusty coolant pipe definitely needs a replace 👌🏽
Oh yes, she's is getting changed out. Keep an eye out for my upcoming video when I tell you how much Audi wanted for that little pipe!!!
@@InDadsGarage probably all your fortune 🤣 I can’t wait bro

@@InDadsGarage It was about 600 euros for the PCV, oil screen, and an oil change with air, oil and cabin filters
@@Anytheros 600 euros for 3.5 days work plus parts. Sweet baby Jesus that’s good value lol 😲

I don’t have sign in my garage. I look at car to determine brand.
That's a great technique ;0)
Went for a test drive in one of these ,the other day.Got back to the garage and coolant was pouring out from the same place must be a common fault ?

Bumper is just bumper if you’re American, not front fender lol
Haha fair comment 😂 I must have been mixing it up with my hoods and trunks 🤓
did you get the P2297 air leak DTC and a rough idle (noisy) first 20-30 seconds? Also Oil cap has a great sunction ? Let me know mate

Subbed and I don't own an RS6 😂
Amazing thank you. With a handle like GermanWhip you must have something else fun instead. Thanks for your support, more videos coming soon ;0)
