Seized Audi 3.0 TFSI Full Breakdown | What Caused It?

  • Bought this 09 Audi A6 with a seized 3.0T engine under the guise that it just needed a starter or an access module to activate it. The previous owner replaced the starter and still nothing when turning the key over. Turns out the engine was seized and that's why the starter wouldn't rotate the engine.
    In this video I will be tearing down the already removed engine and finding out exactly why it failed. We will also be cutting the lower girdle off to remove the torque converter since its seized and won't rotate to allow access to the bolts.
    This is part 2 of a 3-part series consisting of a removal video, a teardown video, and finally a reinstallation video with a freshened up used engine.

    German Engineering at its best, what a nightmare. I accidentally stripped my torque converter bolt, and then my nightmare began. Thank you for sharing your experience

      This has to be why they lost 2 world wars right? Haha! I've totally stripped a TC bolt before too and had to pull the converter out with the engine. What a pain in the ass! We're you able to get yours off?

    Bright side, now you know more about these engines visually and hands on. Good experience I think.

    Did you ever put the new engine back in? I was looking for the next video, I am getting ready to install engine assembly in my a7 that was seized and was curious about the fluid lost from the tranny. Wondering if I should pre fill torque converter?

      Just about to put it in the week hopefully. If you lost fluid, you can just top it off a little either before or after

    Am thinking to get a Q7 sline prestige I tested drive it already it has the same engine but to be honest Audi vw cars are beautiful

      That's our next car. Been wanting a Q7 since we had a kid and need more room. Try to get 2014 or newer if possible. Less issues from what I'm seeing. Much more updated than this 09 3.0 for sure.
      Only things I've heard is they go through tires and brakes quickly due to their size.

    I'm just think of what to do to precent mine from similar scenario.... I think changing oil at 4k miles, new PCV, thermostat, checking the charger cores......and yet still an injector might burst into a cylinder... :)

      Yeah for sure, or the HPFP can fail and leak gas inside as well.

      @luiszubillaga1463 I've heard that is a common issue for sure. I'm pretty sure on this engine the supercharger packs leaked coolant into the engine and locked it up. Good thing you caught yours early enough✌🏼
