When's your next video?? Just completed this oil change on my B9 A4. Also, how do you clean the extractor?
Thank you, for sharing
Love the videos! Great quality and informative! How are you enjoying your tint on the windows? I'm thinking about this as well, I have the Ibis White and i'm contemplating it because I don't know how I feel about the contrast.
Thanks a lot! I personally enjoy the tints as I like the privacy as well as the contrast it provides with the black wheels. Mine are tinted at 20% but you could opt to do a 35-50% tint which is lighter. It would give it a slight contrast but not as drastic as mine!
My man! Always a pleasure!
You know, that has always blown me away with the dip stick. Why do we not have a dip stick?
Thanks so much! Haha it’s puzzled me too. I guess they did it for “efficiency” since the on-board computer tells you how much oil is left but the bigger question is - how do you tell if the oil is good or not with that computer?
Precisely! As a fellow New Jersen I demand answers!!! I always thought it was a safety thing. It getting so cold here the stick would freeze in the tube. But, as a friend pointed out that that's a stupid idea cause all you would have to do is turn the car on for 5 minutes and your problem is gone.
That does make sense but as you pointed out, a quick warm up resolves that. The international versions still have the dip stick! I guess we’ll never truly know why they took it out from the US models haha
@@DIYDetail In 50+ years of driving I've never had a dipstick freeze in the tube even in sub zero temperatures.
Do I need the entire ratchet set or just a ratchet with a specific socket size?
Great video bro easy one question have tried the k & n pro series oil filter or is it best to stick with Audi oil filter
Thanks! I’ve heard mixed things about that filter from my research. I personally stuck with using OEM as it’s at least know to filter out containments to Audi specs
hey quick question, i am getting some engine stutters on full load. My spark plugs are 65k km old, could it be caused by that? audi a5 b9 2.0 252hp tuned to 320
Hey! That could be one reason since it’s at that replacement internal. It could also be caused by the tune (if you’re running a stage 2, you might need to make the gap smaller or larger for it to work properly). In most cases, misfires are spark plug related. If it doesn’t solve that, it might be worth looking at the fuel injectors and see if you’re getting enough fuel through the injectors
Not enough fuel reaching the combustion chamber - the tune is wrong.
This is awesome but how much money are you saving doing this yourself?
Well Done Video. One question: My 2019 Audi A4 shows, via the engine sticker, the recommended oil is Castrol 0W-30 and VW 504 (North America)
Thanks! I checked the maintenance schedule for the 2019+ Audi A4’s and looks like they’ve changed it to the spec you listed (504 00). I’m not too sure why but it looks like it’s the right one. As long as the oil you get matches what’s on the service tag and user manual, you’ll be good to go. Hope that helps!
@@DIYDetail Thanks for the followup. I literally went out to the car and read directly from the engine bay. Car was manufactured late in 2019 and actually, on the oil filler cap, it says "Audi recommends Castrol". One mystery is these VW specs. Which grade supersedes which other grade. If you could get to the bottom of this it would be very useful. Sorry about all the edits.
No problem! Glad to help
How do we replace the belt?
Sorry to bother you with this question. I know the videos three years old but on the description at the end, it says 5 quarts of oil + 1 is that + 1 as a just in case currently I have a Audi A4, 2020 it is a B type same exact engine yours is much more powerful than mine
hey whats Neeraj its Aryan, upstair neighbor how u been, I know ur busy but are you going to post a new video anytime soon or no ?? just curious @DIYDetail
Can you make a video for the acura TL?
I think it uses the traditional method of draining from the bottom but I can try this summer!
I did my 3rd oil change using your video as a guide, thank you. I had an issue this time though. After it was all buttoned up, I started the car and there was a noticable chugging and uneven idle. I didn't get any warning lights and thought to let it circulate the new oil for a minute. I looked for leaks and such but saw nothing. The car felt like it wanted to die so I turned it off. I thought the oil filter that I bought from ECS Tuning and had no markings on it was the wrong one. But it was the exact same size as the OEM one and came in a VW/Audi branded box. Turns out, I had forgotten to put the dipstick cap back on. But I thought maybe I over filled the oil too, so pumped out almost a quart of oil. I started the car again and it idled beautifully. The oil level indicator was between Max and Min so after a short drive I topped it off and the car runs smoothly. I'm not sure of the exact reason for my issue but am relieved it worked out. Btw, I have a 2017 A4 and the sticker under the hood says to use VW50800 0w-20. So that's what I use.
I believe the issue might have been not having the cap back on. I had that happen to me once and it felt as though the engine was about to fall out. Leaving the cap off disrupts the vacuum atmosphere that pumps the oil through the system. Is it still running fine after?
Depending on where your car is, the oil requirements change (even within the states)!
@@DIYDetail The car is running great! Thank you again.
Is not going to be as " clean " as doing from the bottom no? Are you not worried that darker muckier oil is still at the bottom ?
Thanks for any replies
I did this on my Audi today, you can pretty much get almost all of it as I pulled out pretty much 5.5 quarts with the extractor, you have to be patient keep pumping and wait till absolutely nothing is sucking out
Just got the same car. Do you know how to turn passenger air bag on/off?
Congrats! I know from the older models (up to 2015), there’s a switch in top frame of the glovebox that lets you turn the airbag (not just the light) on and off but I believe in the 2016+ models, you’d have to use the VAGCOM tool to disable it. I’m not too sure about this though!
Hey man, I happened to notice that your Audi A4 is lowered. Do you mind sharing what kind of suspension mods you used? I ask because I’ve read some conflicting things. Some articles saying that if you replace the stock suspension, you lose the Audi dynamic suspension that incorporates the Audi drive select regulating system & Audi dynamic steering. I’ve read you lose the ‘suspension adjustments’ that happen when you got from say Comfort mode to Dynamic mode but that the acceleration/aggressiveness of the engine will still adjust, you only lose the suspension adjustments the system makes. Do you know anything about that/have you experienced this yourself? Would love to hear because I have the same car but in black and want to lower it.
Hey! So mine isn’t lowered at the moment. I’m usually driving in Dynamic Mode, which drops the suspension by about 20mm or so. The black wheels and rims make the wheel gap “look” smaller luckily
I’ve had the same doubts as you when it comes to lowering. From what I’ve seen and read is that if you go with coil overs, you would lose that suspension adjustment as well as get several error codes when changing driving modes. Lowering springs on the other hand, in most cases, retain the suspension adjustment but the main issue is if the lowering spring is already at a compressed state, the dynamic mode might cause the spring to compress more hence making it more stiff. Personally, I’d go with lowering springs and not slam it to the ground so the spring still has room to compress a bit more when changing between comfort and dynamic. Hope that helps! You can check out audizine forums as there’s a lot of people who recommend brands and lowering distance to go as well as any problems they had during/after install
@@DIYDetail after taking a second look, I see what you mean, it does LOOK lower. But that’s some good tips, I was worried about coil overs myself as well. I’ll check out the audizine forums and see what I find. Thanks man!
Oil filter 25 NM. ( just my references when I come back to this video
How come you havent done the RS grille mod so far ?
Haha I did the mod over the summer but I haven’t had a chance to edit the video as well as re-record a few things! It’ll be out soon though
Can you tell how to remove the inspection due sign on same Audi A4 2017 or 2018.
Hello! This requires you to use the VAGCOM tool and the software on a PC. I haven’t personally reset that as I had a German auto shop reset it for me
You can do that with OBDEleven too
Good to know, thanks for sharing!
Any check engine lights yet ? How is the car holding up so far for the time you’ve had it
Had it for about a year and put about 15k miles. When I first got it, I had a check engine light for a failed thermostat which was replaced under warranty and then the only other problem I had was worn out engine mounts which were also replaced under warranty. It’s my daily car so no other issues popped up yet (fingers crossed lol)
Hi Creator, was that check engine light for motor mounts? Or is it just vibrating uncomfortably?
My dealer changed the oil yesterday with 0W20 (A5 2018 2.0tfsi)
Interesting, does your hood tag state that? According to the maintenance schedule on Audi’s website, it should be the same as mine but they could have changed it without updating the site
www.audiusa.com/content/dam/audiusa/Documents/maintenance-schedules/Audi-Maintenance-Schedule-Model-Year-2018.pdf
@@DIYDetail they told me that they are using new 508/509**Castrol EDGE® Professional® 0W20 Long Life IV
Oh okay, I know they started using that on the newer models but guess they are using it on 2018’s as well. Good to know!
Does your car have a door light when you get out of the car it shows the symbol on the ground?
Mine does not! I think I saw someone on UA-cam install one on the B8 platform, which I assume wouldn’t be that different from the B9?
@@DIYDetailI thought b9s have them. guess not
Hey man what do you need the ratchet for in the oil changes?
It connects to that socket used to loosen the filter housing
@@DIYDetail can you post the ratchet link again? It says “page cant be found”
Here you go! I believe it should be 32mm
amzn.to/3a8krZa
You should remove the filter while you're doing the extraction to make the oil flow out faster
I did loosen it, I just forgot to record that part ahead of time. It was loosely sitting on the housing. You’re right though, it makes it faster!
@@DIYDetail ok gotcha. You plan to come out with more diy videos? A good one would be the dsg fluid change
Yes I do! I have a few mod videos coming and then more maintenance videos closer to the end of the year (when I hit the next service interval)
@@DIYDetail dope! Looking forward to it. I just upgraded form a 2010 a4 to a 2018 a4 last month. Your couple maintenance videos helped. I'm doing a couple mods soon..tint, turbo inlet, and IE stage 1
Nice congrats on the upgrade! Glad to help as well. I have the IE Stage 1 tune and it’s awesome haha
5.4 qts is correct amount
But when i pour in 4.7qts and shows max oil level
If the engine is cold, it could give a false reading (let the engine warm up and then drive it around for 20 minutes to see the level) or you may still have some leftover oil that wasn’t extracted during the process
WARNING: using a pump only takes about 80% of the old oil - and leaves the really nasty stuff in the sump.
it leaves 100gr of oil there is a video on you tube showing this
