In this video we are working on Audi S5 V8, 4,2FSI. The car was delivered on a recovery truck in poor condition. There was no MOT, because it was traveling for 14 months from workshop to workshop and nothing that was done did not help. So we put some work into it and make it road legal again! Have a look at the progress in the video.
We replaced:
-Timing chain kit
-Rocker cover gaskets
-Front / rear crankshaft seal
-Midle gasket for oil check valves
-Water pump gaskets
- Thermostat
-Starter motor
-Rear level sensor
-Refurb rear subframe / ofset washers / bolts / nuts
-Oil change twice with BG flush
-Cluster was replaced / coded / milage corection on cluster
-Generaly clean the whole car

A someone who has an s5 (2013) I saw the car at the beginning and thought "who did this to you, you poor baby?" I love my car, but that 4.2 is an amazing engine, and it is heartening to see you bring her back to health. Great job!
Same thoughts as mine. I have owned a 4.2 S5 a few years ago, it is a good car really, and it has aged very well esthetically in my opinion.
@@MrJef06 i third this 2011 s5 here amazing ride !
Came Across Your Channel By Accident ,
I Have To Say I Have Subscribed As You Are Genuine Professional Technicians That Are Hard To Find Today 👏👏👍
Amazing work. I love the 4.2L CAUA V8. I know that was a lot of work but that engine is so good they deserve to get a second life.
I own a 2009 S5 with the updated inlet manifold. Wonderful car if rather scary mechanically. I note on a couple of videos you mention using VCDS to diagnose the operation of the engine timing and solenoids. I would be really appreciate a video on how to use VCDS to indicate the state of the timing, and isolate potential issues, prior to having to remove the entire engine and gearbox for a visual investigation.
as usual absolutely brilliant!! i could watch this stuff all day!! thank you for the effort and keep it up!!!
Indeed this format and content is excellent!
I need this for 2.0 cjaa tdi motor, please!
Well done guys! Subbed!
6000 pounds? For all that work? In Denmark it would have been at least twice that amount. Great work, where did you learn to work on complex engines like this. Crazy amount of knowledge. Thanks for sharing
Hi,
Thanks for watching , well Miroslav was working for Audi for a while , I learned the hard way. Bought myself a V8, possibly everything was wrong with it so that was my first and very expensive experience ... Since then we try to do them on a daily basis . For £ .... we can make a living out of it and some jobs are more tight with budget some are better.
In Croatia you dont know who you go to....even if you have double the money
Try doing it in Norway, repairs cost more than the car…
in balkan it costs like 2000 max
@@dado5162 yeah but the work is shit lol
Lots of dedication and know how getting these German beasts back in top shape. Love my older 911 but my daily is a trusty Toyota 100 series Land Cruiser.Luckily haven't had to sell a kidney to keep it going!
Great vid. Nice to see someone take care and do a decent job. I don’t like using garages but would use these guys.
Im now convinced Audi mechanics are the best in the world because they get the most practical experience.
Really liked the time lapse video of y’all doing the entire removal of the engine, do more videos like this, we like to see it 😎🤙🏼 btw gonna order some of y’all’s merch/hoodies very soon !! Love what y’all do btw amazing videos extremely informative and not boring commentary love it !!
Great work. Total respect.
I have an 09 S5 do all my own work, at 3:57 I already knew the biggest oil leak by the layout of oil. (the figure8 oil filter pipe gasket). at 7:14 confirmed hahaha!! these are great cars but they are a bit of a pain to work on!
Did you replace the upper oil pan gaskets?
u make this job art like man, i enjoy your videos....theres no bad engines, cars, thers only bad mechanics, and you are the one and rare oposite example....i hear theres Miroslav next to you sometimes, so i say hello to Miroslav, who must be from Balcan, as I am....wish you guys all the best, u realy are something special....lots of stuff wee can learn from you, and its free....thank you
Love these videos, keep it up. Great work!
Informative as usual. Thanks 👍
Awesome video per usual! You should get a mic, it would be so much easier to hear you when you’re standing by the cars talking! Thanks for the content man
Wow, and thanks for explanation on costs - expertise does not come cheap, but then car running for another 12 months, after standing for so long :)
Thanks for sharing your amazing job, the things look like very easy to do but are many engines and time behind them
You guys do fantastic work
Thanks for watching , hopefully will keep you entertained in the future as well
This is the content we’re here for 👍🏻
I think you do w really good thorough job and you seem very honest. I'll be bringing my rs3 down to Brum even for a service
Great job guys,both of you are very professional,explained as much as you could,so everybody could understand. By the way,we are coleagues,Im a mechanic too,Im from Serbia,and Im also working on exclusive cars,but mostly on Audi's . I had S8,and just like you,I bought it with million problems,so I needed to fix everything. I wish you all the best in future projects and maybe one day,Im gonna put some videos on my youtube and we will make podcast or whatever. Cheers 😄😄😄😄😄
Thanks for watching ! All the best in Serbia, if you visiting U.K. give us shout , pop down
Love the video, excellent work, just the kind of mechanics I would love working on mine. 👌👌👌
Great vid. I have a 2014 S5 4.2V8 manual with 12000 miles. I was cringing at the beginning of the vid. Definitely road hard but nice work to get her back on road.
First time watching you guys....you certainly know your stuff....
Excellent job sir .... great video .
Very nice job ...
Et toujours , avec de belles pièces d origine !
La garantie d une tranquillité pour le client .
Amazing Job.... Greetings from Spain...and Thanks
I'll be booking my b6 s4 cab in with you in 2023 for sure.
many thanks for sharing the price , a handy reflection for anyone thinking about buying one ,
excellent video i'm a mechanic myself people just dont get the hours needed to complete these jobs right first time everytime
Hello. Great work and good video! I did chains and tensioners on my 08 S5 V8 with the engine still in the car, preatty good room to do chains in this car by just removing gearbox😄
We do it for this reason because it’s always more to do …
I've got a jaguar xe but I love these videos of these big engines love the music 🎶 keep the great video 📹 up
I had an A6 allroad 2.7 twin turbo. Didnt drive it much but what a car. When I sold it nobody wanted to give the time of day for it. Sadly Audi's are notorious for engine problems. And very high maintenance. Once they get a couple of years on their value is zilch. Needed a height level sensor and eventually got one from a garage selling an allroad for spares. Audi tips the proverbial tail out the chicken when it comes to spares prices. The Audi in this video would have been deemed too expensive to repair. I now have a Prado 120 with a Kzte 3 liter turbo engine that's done 220k on clock and runs like a sewing machine. Repairs dont cost an arm and a leg and able to do all myself. Busy repair/ replacing bolts that previous owner (supposedly a mechanic) butchered. Sadly have to pull parts out to get butchered bolts out. Had a brake booster motor pack up and had to take master cylinder out to have it repaired. Cost me about R600 and all good again. The above repair almost cost what my Prado cost me. Just reason it is it worth it in the end
Great work!!! Congrats
Wow ,a great video , thats a lot of work and knowledge 👏
amazing job mate. You named the total cost for the job as 6000 Pounds. It's a good price!
This is a lot alot alot of work omg .well done guys.
So glad I have my old b5 4.2 quattro. Timing belt at the front! So even I could replace it, none of these complex timing chains. I did replace the cam chain tensioners which cost me £1000 alone. Audi parts are not cheap, so the work in this video makes the car worthless to anyone else except the owner!
Great video as always
Nice work. Very professional. 🥂🥂🤙
Not sure if you know, didn't see it in video but the coolant passages that go through the timing covers have 2 o rings each. As in 4 total. The tubes are pressed tight into the cover and if you separate it you will find another crunchy o ring.
Hats off guys, excellent video as usual. I spend more time watching your videos in the evenings than watching TV, awesome and very informative content. If it's any help to create more videos I'm happy for you guys to upload a video of my A6 when it goes in if its any help:D see you in a few weeks
Thanks Lorant , will try to make something interesting with your A6 once is here so you have a lovely memory online 🤓
@@VAGTechnic I'm really looking forward:D
Hi, I found that dry air in a can, from PC world, keyboard cleaner works amazing to clean carbon build up, no mess at all and leaves it as new, please try it, just get one can and try it on a old engine, you will be shocked,, I'm no mechanic but i had to change the oil filter housing gasket and oil cooler gasket on my audi s4 4.2 v8.... I was not looking to clean at all just blow out some dirt that might of fallen into the ports,, I sprayed the dry air down the hole and the hole port and valve looked as good as new,,,, well worth a try,,, all the best jamie
Wooow you did great work.
Great job my friend
I wish you guys were on Texas. I have the exact same car that needs some work .
Wow great work!
You performed absoloute heroics with that last thermostat bolt. Nightmare situation.
Hi, this is very nice video and straight forward explanation, just wonder if you ever did Audi A8 D3 W12 ?
Good work dude
nice work
Loving it Tom keep up the good work I now know if all else fails and no One want to know!!..I can bring to you guys LEGENDS 🙌🏾🙌🏾
See you soon Derick !
Wish you were in norwich ,i would get all my work done by you on my S4
That doesn’t seem like a bad price for all the work and parts you fitted. It would have been twice that price here in Perth AUSTRALIA 👍👍🇦🇺
Fantastic video
Keep up the good work cant wait to have my done in March 🤣🤣🤣
Wheeey , YES! We see you soon !
Superb video
amazing job! 👍 👍
Cracking job..
Is this the same 4.2 BVJ block that's in my old 2008 A6 S-Line daily driver, they look similar? She's nearing 155k miles and ive been wondering how much longer she's got left in her? Runs great, no issues but a minor oil leak in over 11 yrs of owning it. I did get the multiple cylinder misfire several years ago and ended up being one of the solenoids as well but that's it. I've a 2016 C7.5 A7 as well as my weekend driver...but just wondering when if I should be trying to get rid of the 08 for something, a little newer lol...... great channel by the way! you guys are awesome!
Great video. Are you guys from central europe by any chance ?
As always amazing work and great background music. Still waiting on the link for those Audi hoodie. 😂
Sorry didn’t have time to list them with good pictures, officially on YT we can have them after 10k subscribers .

Got my hoodies 2 weeks ago. 😆 thanks again.
Very good from peruvian saludos
Love channel, great content 👌🏻
In general, how is the clutch after that milage? Would it have been due for replacement anyway?
That's a lot of work there. Definitely not an easy task
I had a very similar problem with my Audi A3 3.2 timing solenoid
Hi, what tools do you recommend I’d need to buy for rebuilding a bns rs4 engine I’ve bought? Tips on where to buy would be great , also best place for parts would really be appreciated
Hopefully they got a deal on the car given that state... how much was parts and how much was just the subframe?
I wish I could send my s4 to you guys
What tool is that you use as counter holder for the camshaft sprocket? The blue (looks like a oil filter removal tool).
VAG engines insure a continuous steam of repair work at relatively low mileage.
Can you explain what that special tool is that you used to remove troublesome Torx under angle?
That was a bargain for all that attention to detail I expected much worse if I ever get an s5 that goes wrong I’d take it these guys just to meet them
I had one just like that. In fact before I saw the euro license plate, I thought it might have been my old one.
Absolute worst car I have ever owned. Had it for three years (almost to the day). It ran for 180 days. $15k in repairs + $2400 in storage fees later, it left on a flatbed never to return. I was never so happy to see the back of a car in all my days.
Very nice 👍
8000 U.S. very good work.
AUDI 🔝, пушка - гонка.
Don't you guys have any aqua blast location that can clean the flaps and other sensitive things? Much better than sanding, doesn't fuck up with the geometry.
Good job man. Just wonder did you scrapes the carbon at intake valves or you did a walnut blast in it?
Hi,
Just scrape it on the beginning because walnut would take ages to do .
Audi great for mechanics never ending money
Hey, I watched the video and I want to know if have any tips for me, my S5 it's overheating , the reservoir bottle was cracked and it was replaced, then I drove it for a week and it started to overheat again, I have replaced the thermostat, fans one had failed and the other one was running at 60%, I also found the temp sensor was faulty and was replaced, after all that, the car still overheating, any tips I will appreciate.
Thanks
I have an A3 (8p) 2l TFSI.. mine has done 140k miles aswell.. I’d bought the car quite recently.. any recommendations on check ups? I’d like to have it checked by a pro like yourself
Do you provide pricing ms for this?
Good job ! 🇨🇵✌️👌
good work man , total cost is very reasonable
Hello, can you provide us with a link or pictures for timing marks ?
I have the same car 2008 audi s5, the oil and anti freeze are being mixed together, its not smoking, what do you think the issue might be?
تسلم ايدك 🔨🔧🛠👍
Hello mate I need your suggestion , I have an Audi A4 B8 2011 2.0 TFSI
The oil burning is too much , it consumes 1 gallon oil per 2000km. but car have enough power , some time if we accelerate after slowing down it makes smoke and in idle oil spraying through the exhaust. Is it related to turbo , valve stem seals or the piston rings , I checked with many garages , domes saying turbo some valve stem seals some complete overhaul.
Can u pls guide me
Thanks and regards
Where can I get that table lifter that can support the weight of that V8 or V10 engine. Links please, thank you.
Bro. I currently have an A4 2012 2.0. I'm thinking of buying an A6 2011 3.0T. And make the conversion to my Audi a4. What do you think will be the biggest problem?
Anyone know how to replace the phasers in the correct position?
No markings on this engine? 2009 s5
what brand is the blue tool/toolbox? Thank you
What transmission can I put in my 2008 Jetta wolfburg
Great video 📹 👍 really good job.
Do you change clutch pack in s tronic 7 speed gearbox? In a7 3.0 tfsi? 2012?
Yes we can do them 🤓
@@VAGTechnic Ha ha Great I be in touch 😎
That 4.2l is one horrible masterpeice... i bet in the US it would be 10k+ to do this job.
In the US, there is only a hand full of shops that work on Audi unless you go to the dealer.
They don't want to do transmission fluid change, they don't want to fix a wheel bearing, they surely don't want to remove the engine or transmission.
They'll change your oil though and use 5w-20 instead of 0-40 full syn euro. Most mechanics are scared or inexperienced to work on Audi and they know they cannot profit from their mistakes and zero knowledge of Audi so they just decline service for it.
I reccomend oven brite . Cleaning agent for oven a bottle mixed with hot water and bath intake in it for 1hour or so brushing thicker spoty with plastic soft brush. then just low pressure jest wash to rinse . Comes out like new every time on my diesel. Oven Brite is cheap too in poundland .
Great job . Great video . Lovely engine.
Regards
What was the solution to the km clock error?
Hi. I just sent in my 4.2 s5 to the shop for some overheating and shifting issue. Afte overheating slightly, it will only upshift after about 3/3.5k rpm. The guy says to replace thermostat and thermostat housing, would you think this is good enough? Is costing be a little over $1,000
Hi don’t know about us in U.K. but too much for thermostat , we paid around 240£ if I remember correctly
