    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!

    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.

      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.

    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

    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!

    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.

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

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!

    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

      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

    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
