- In this video, Serg from DT Performance (Union, NJ) replaces the oil separator (positive crankcase ventilation valve or pcv), thermostat, water pump, and coolant pipe on my 2010 Audi B8 S4. Considering that this video is a vlog and not a DIY, I've added parts diagrams and part numbers in the video for those looking for more information regarding this installation.
A huge shoutout to Serg and DT Performance for their hard work and great customer service!

Please read the description; Thanks!
Thanks you for taking the time to give people like me who really don't know much some great information! Thank you!👍
My pleasure! Hopefully it helps somewhat!
I’d let Serg work on my car! Knows his stuff
Solid video. Thank you for all the info. Great description!

Currently have a coolant leak that I'm trying to track down. I think my water pump was changed fairly recently by Audi through the previous owner, I need to check the service history to find out exactly when. Maybe the gasket on it has failed like yours. Not sure if my PCV has ever been done so I may do this. I know the leak is coming from somewhere near the front of the engine so I think my next job is supercharger off and look for obvious signs of where it's been leaking and then look at changing hoses and o-rings wherever I see it. Will check if the thermostat has ever been done also and change that if it's not too expensive. Such a complicated cooling system! I just hope I can find and sort my pesky leak, I want to drive the car again!
Still 150,000 miles though and still solid, I bought it for an absolute steal for £8250 at 144,000. Such a nice car to own!
Great video, thanks!
I wish this guy would work on my S4
Great video, will be on the lookout for B8.5 S4 videos 👍🏽
About that time for my B8A5 & B8S4 lol 😅
Keep up the great content Pat!! Great Video!!
Very helpful and insightful
Wow very informative I like how you listed all the parts and even how much to torque things down this is the type of video I been looking for only thing is kinda had to hear serg
I really appreciate the feedback! Thank you!
I might need to this done to my S4 how much was this service? or what was the ball park figure.
hey guys..
if I want to DRAIN some coolant. SO that I can add a can of WaterWetter...
Where the drain at on a say... S5 B9 Sportback.?
Any one? Videos?
Awesome vlog!! Lots of great info here 🙌🏼🙌🏼😎
How do you remove that coolant pipe that runs to the back, I got front off but cannot figure out how to disconnect it from the hose please help.
I’m sure you figured it out, but it’s held on by a special metal clip to a rubber hose (use a pick to pry the clip open)
Great video, Thanks for the useful information!
Apart from being low on coolant what are other symptoms that this can cause to your s4. My s4 just broke 35k miles and I am just curious.
Thanks for the great content.
If the pcv is leaking it can cause misfires and you'll see condensation around your oil fill plug.
Thanks for watching!
I would also check whatever cylinder the miss fire is on. Sometimes the intercoolers on the supercharger leak and cause coolant to leak into the cylinders
So I’m trying to take off my coolant front pipe/crossover pipe, whichever one. I just can’t find out what the bolt size is on that to remove the 4 bolts holding it on. Mine is leaking coolant and the pipe was worn where it connects to the thermostat. Please help!
Front Coolant Line is what it is listed in the video. I need the bolt pattern and size
Nevermind, found out mine were a T25 Star to remove them. But 2 of the bolts had been stripped to crap. Replacing all the plastic lines and everything because mine was pissing coolant and it would get stuck between the block and supercharger.
Hey bro, great video. I have a B8.5 that I wanna get this service done to but I live in Orlando, what would I say I want done to get someone to do a service like this?
Ask to replace the pcv, t-stat, and water pump
@@BlacklistBuilds amazing thank you so much and thanks for the quality content
Great video
So I have to get a front coolant pipe replaced mechanic quoted 850$ is that a bad price or a good one?
Could someone PLEASE tell me what is the component at 1:06 that is being used to drain the coolant, I have a HUGE leak from that location.
The coolant pipe was disconnected from the main radiator. You could either have a leak in the radiator or a coolant hose if it's in that area.
I see that he pressure test the coolant but did he bleed the coolant at all? I want to know if he bleed all 3 while doing this service.
He did but I didn't film it
Would a bad breather valve cause the coolant to mix with engine oil, my car has coolant in oil reservoir empty every 100 miles
Coolant mixes with the engine oil if the valve is leaking.
How much did this job cost? I have a B8 S4 with a nice coolant leak and want to know what I'm in for. Not sure if its the PVC, pipe/clamp?
Should be 8 to 9 hours of labor for the pvc change.
I'm losing small amounts of coolant from the tank and wanted to know what should I do first? Its a 2011 s4 and I dont notice any visible leaks.
If you're losing coolant without a visible leak then you might have an internal leak from the pcv or the cooler(s) inside the supercharger itself.
@@BlacklistBuilds i did a compression test 10 mins ago and its holding fine with small leakage near the middle of the supercharger, I can visually see an external pool of coolant close to the crossover pipe and close to the water pump. Is the pcv valve under the supercharger?
Yes
how much was all that in labor? i just paid $800 in labor alone for the pcv and water pump replacement at a local shop and am wondering if that makes sense.
It typically takes 8-9 hrs of labor so that sounds right
Hey man how did you know when these needed to be done? Any signs? My 2012 S4 just was over heating without coolant, so obviously I topped it off, but after letting it sit for about 10-20 minutes, and then starting it again and driving it was slowly heating up again to about 3/4 of the gauge. Would that be a sign of needing this done? 😂 please help 🙏🏼
Yeah you definitely need a service lol. Don't drive around if your engine is over heating; you'll damage the motor. If you have massive coolant loss it's normally the water pump. I would change the thermostat as well. Check for other leaks.
Blacklist Builds yeah it’s been sitting for the weekend, happened on Friday. So Monday I’m taking it in to get fully checked out, but I really appreciate the info so I can let them know what could be happening! Hard to find good European car mechanics around me.
No problem man! Hope everything gets fixed quickly!
The plastic nub that one of the coolant hoses connects to on the front coolant pipe snapped off on my B8. Do I need to remove all that crap to fix it or can I get in there with minimal removal?
If I'm thinking about the correct pipe you're referring to then yes
@@BlacklistBuilds I figured out a temporary fix luckily. Thanks for all the b8 content
@@beno313 how do you remove the rear of that pipe I cant figure it out
I have no idea if I need to do this on mine since it’s already had the thermostat replaced
Typically you have misfires if the pcv is leaking
Blacklist Builds will the car throw codes if the pcv is leaking?
Yes it will
Blacklist Builds okay thanks
Is it necessary to change the front coolant pipe whenever you change the pcv? I have shown no signs of leakage but was thinking of changing out my pcv/tstat/water pump early
Depends on the age/mileage of the pipe. Keep in mind that the plastic becomes brittle over time. I would change it as preventative maintenance if you're nearing 100k mi.
@@BlacklistBuilds yeah mine is a 2014 with 40k miles. I'm thinking about not changing that front coolant pipe and just doing the other 3 parts
Yeah you shouldn't need to then
@@BlacklistBuilds cool thanks. I'll reach out to dt performance for the job
Is it possible to change the front coolant pipe without putting the car in service mode?
my water pump failed at 30,000 miles. Audi 3.0T (Q7, 2018) is starting to scare me
Damn sorry to hear that. Sounds like it was the upgraded pump audi uses too. Did you have it diagnosed at the dealership or an independent shop? Just curious
Music is too loud in this recording, made it hard to understand
Yo I have a full bolt on 10’ S4 with 67k. Anything you think needs replacing?
Hard to say with just that information and without previous maintenance history. You can look up the audi maintenance schedule.
How are you testing injectors?
Turn the key to accessory so the injectors turn on and see if any leaks occur.

I hope and pray to God this don't happen to me!🙏.🤞
