Removing Intake Manifold & Replacing Oil Pressure Sensor | Audi A6 C6 4.2 V8 BVJ Engine

- In today's video I am replacing the oil pressure sensor on the 2007 Audi A6 4.2 that I picked up in the previous video for $1,800. The oil pressure sensor was leaking a lot of oil making it look like oil was leaking from everywhere.
Luckily, it's only a $12 part. Unluckily, its about a 3-4 hour job just to get to it.
If you having a similar oil leak or need to replace this sensor then this video should be helpful. Sorry about the shoddy camera work, this is the last video I shoot POV style because the camera moves so much and I can't control the frame as much.
Leave a SUPER THANKS if this video was helpful to you!

@@SuperHonkyPodcast all fixed now!
not going to lie my 2006 a6 definitely looks like this, I was just hoping to replace my serpintine belt and idler puller, but the right side of my engine is covered in oil and same with carbon as well as under the engine so im assuming this as well is where my oil leak is
Great video. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Just about done with the carbon cleaning video on this car as well. Should be posted soon🤙🏼
@@Mechani_Cole Cool, I was looking for that.
I have an 08 audi a6 4.2 fsi ( your engine looks exactly like mines) with a misfire on cylinder 2. I've changed the spark plugs,coils cleaned my maf sensor but I'm thinking fuel injector now. My question is do I do the same procedure of taking the manifold off as u did in this video?
Good question, yes. You would need to follow all these steps to access your injectors under the manifold
@@Mechani_Cole another question. Do I need to put the car in service position or can I do it without?
Same here. It wasn't the injector
My Audi A6 has got a oil leak small oil patch on the ground. This is on the drivers side dripping down on the alternator. Do you have any idea what would be the problem?
Vacuum pump
It's taking a very long time to get the parts to fix this oil leak. Do you have to renew the bolts for the oil cooler as well when Im replacing the gasket?
Supposed to replace them. I reused mine. No issues here
That lovely magnesium manifold you managed to remove in the time it takes me to knock-up a cup of coffee? f****** consumable part - thanks Audi! - quoted £2k (abt 3.4kCAN/2.5kUS) plus £700 fitting. S5 only cost £5k. Throwing P2004 and just generally being a swine :(
Great videos - Like+Sub 😋
(filter coffee)🤪
a zero degree ratchet would help with that stubborn torx bolt
Yeah it would
Hi Cole. How can I get in touch with you.
I have a 2010 Q5 3.2
I cant get rid of the cylinder 2 misfire.
The compression is good. It actually runs great but misfires at idle
Replaced the coil, plugs & injector. There's no carbon and it only happens at idle.
I'm stumped and so is the German car specialist its at. I thought for sure it was a leaky injector.
It runs perfectly otherwise and won't code for 50 miles when I'm driving but at idle it throws the code
Please help. I'd bring it to you but I'm in CT. If you have aby ideas I can pay for your time.
Thanks
Hi @RT, have you by chance had a smoke test preformed to rule out any vacuum leaks? I've seen a tiny vacuum leak cause something like this.
If no vacuum leak, I would attempt to reset adaptations and reset the throttle body. If problem still persists after all of that I would double check the timing chain values and see if maybe it's stretched and out of time causing a misfire.
@@Mechani_Cole thank you! I appreciate it.
I'll have him check all that. Would all that only affect #2. It's always #2
No, but it is a possible cause. What error codes are you getting?
@@Mechani_Cole just the p0302 although I am getting an EPC light now. Doesn't go into limp mode just stops it at 4k rpm but the p0302 happened way before that and is the only code
Car runs perfectly otherwise
Where is the pc located on this engine
The PC? Be more specific please
Do i have to drain the coolant
Yes
working on a 08 A8 what size stubby torx do you use to get those 2 oil separator bolts out?
Best to have a whole set. They are pretty cheap - amzn.to/3Q2hnyH
Or here is a nicer one if you like quality - amzn.to/3VyGD0T.
Also remember there is Torx and Torx Plus on this vehicle. They are different as well
If your ever in the UK, can you drop in and take a look at my s6 c6 v10 please😂 it costs more in oil than petrol to run😂😂✌️
Load it up and ship it my way, I'll take it off your hands for you haha
Found the easier way. There's a single torx facing the firewall that holds the air oil separator. Once you get that off you can prop up the manifold and remove all 5 torx bolts holding on the throttlebody elbow so you dont have to cut the factory clamped hose
Interesting, I'll have to check that out next time🫡
@@Mechani_Cole mine is also a 09 A8L not sure if that changes anything
All the 4.2s are pretty similar. I sold this one in the video so not able to check it out currently. But on the next one, if I decide to ever get one of these again. Wasn't the best experience and the 15mpg wasn't so great in the city haha
So is this the same for the s5?
Yes. There might be some small differences, but pretty much the same process
@@Mechani_Coleso there isn’t a sensor in the back of the oil filter ? Not many videos on the s5
There is a sensor there as well, there are different though
Hello
Is it possible to replace this sensor without removing the collector?
No, but if you find a way, please share it
@@Mechani_Cole There must be some way because how to measure oil pressure? 🤷🏼♂️ The collector must be fitted
You don't need to measure oil pressure. The sensor does that for you
@@Mechani_Cole You seem to be right, but there must be some way to measure the oil pressure in the engine
There is, through the sensor. Thats its purpose. No other way that I ever heard of
Dude, it's horrible! I need to do this shit too 😭
Just take your time and don't rush it. It will go smoothly 🫡
I got a bank stuck open how to fix
It can be anything from a bad vacuum line, bad flap motor, or just dirty with carbon.
@@Mechani_Cole so should I just replace the whole manifold while at it to cover all bases or no waist of money
@kidsavage86 would be a waste. Check vacuum lines running to the flap motors first. You can replace the little motors pretty easy as long as there is no deeper problems
9:45 *harharhar* You haven't replaced the oil cooler yet, if you think *that* screw is annoying. Not to mention the asshole screw in the upper axle shank!
I got rid of this car pretty quick. No more 4.2s for me, those are terrible!
@@Mechani_Cole Yeah, the engine compartment is very stuffed. Just think f you have had the Bi-Turbo version!
That is probably a real pain in the arse.
But never the less, I love the car itself.
can i fly you to nz all expenses paid to sort my oil leak lol
New Zealand? Haha, that's almost tempting 😅
Yo fix my Audi as well, How much bro?
This motor leaks oil for every place , is a shi5 motor . C5 4.2 is better .
Not gonna argue that one😅
