I rebuilt a crash damaged Audi RS6 C7 & then sent the car over 5000 miles to Las Vegas for the SEMA car show. But moments after driving it in the US the engine gave up. I spent hours dismantling the engine to find the issue which turned out to be fuel. So now i either need to repair the standard RS6 engine or look at other options whilst @tavarish is here to help me!

Audi: not even once.
@tavarish so when are you buying an RS6 ? 🤦♂️😂
Are you buying Matt’s RS 6 after it’s done ? 😂
I hate it so mutch
I was thinking, maybe he needs to take the engine out 6 times for it to work because it's an A'RSE 6 😂
Hmm... I saw u with one 😅
Can we appreciate Tavarish for letting you use his shop for a second? What a legend
@tavarish been a fan since you were in Jersey. Appreciate you letting Matt & crew use your shop. Absolute GOAT 💪🏼
@@bobbyaxelrod4153 a goat in more ways than one. Ask his ex-wife.
It’s like his personal shop at this point 😂😭🤣
You've not seen the GT3 Video then?
The colab we didn’t ask for yet we got it! That’s destiny…. 😮
Your fathers laugh brings so much joy to these videos. He's a gem!
no hes a dad
You mean like.. uncut gem's
As as former Audi Master Tech I can confirm... They were designed not to be worked on. The reason the fuel pump wont prime on the relay is because there is an independent fuel pump module. The easiest method is to lift the right side of the car only, then remove the pump. Most of the fuel will be pushed by gravity to the driver side of the tank. You can start syphoning from there. On a full tank you may have some mess to clean up. The tank has anti syphon tech so you can't get a hose down the fill if someone was wondering.
Don't you get an adaptor for the filler so you can use a funnel and jerry can if you run out? Or do you have to get transported to the nearest petrol station?
Freddy is the MVP. Offering his shop AND helping with the repair. The man's got a heart of gold. ✌🏻🇺🇸
Tbf there's a whole lot of 🇷🇺 in Freddy too. But yes, definitely man of the match
Is Freddy gay
@@yoyobase4638 No
@@yoyobase4638 as far as I can tell from him having been married to a woman, I think he isn't. But what does his sexual orientation concern you or any of us. If you keant Freddy Mercury then yes, that one was gay

Your dad's a hugely positive addition to the channel.
Hard to explain, but he absolutely brings something quality.
True
Matt and his Tony’s relationship, fun and work together is what some many guys want.
Very true
It's called wisdom and charm! Agreed!
100% agree
Freddy is an actual legend of a human. I love watching anything he's on. So happy and helpful.
What?
@@GardenGuy1943what is confusing about this
@@turbo9975 Freddy isn’t white, so I don’t get what race has to do with this.
@@GardenGuy1943race wasn't mentioned, what are you talking about?
Didnt he sell a car to vice grip?
How Unbelievably difficult, lengthy, stressful and complex this Audi 'project' has turned out to be. But what really Amazes me is the perseverance and unfaded Joy of this team. Kudos to all of you guys!!
absolute champion who else takes a engine out twice in one video, other people would of split this into 5 episodes, also seems like dad is solving major issues in every video even if he is responsible for 1 or 2 🤣
yeah, Dad's clearly a master mech and tech
That's why he is DAD.
Your dad is an absolute legend! You so damn lucky to be enjoying a journey like this with him. He is a huge plus to this channel.
I second this comment.
totally agree! the two of them are pretty awesome
Tihs is a true depiction of never backing down and never giving up. I'm really impressed Mat!
Dude.. you’re amazing honestly and your DAD does everything with a smile on his face is exceptional.
Wow.!! The amount of energy and time you put in this vehicle is incredible.
Does anyone else thinks that all vids from Matt should be always 40 minutes + ? 😄
HWBT💪🏻
HWBT not working in this case 🙈
I wish 120 minutes every week
Sometimes I watch his videos all the way through and sometimes I just jump to the end and watch the last five minutes to see how it worked out.
@@MarkoVukovic0Talent Beats Hard Work
Scissors are a Syphons best friend when bypassing a simple Fuel flap 🙊🙊🤣😂
EDIT
EvilGT failed to even put Fuel in 👀👀 last video 😂😂
@@WayneLambrightIII do you skip to the end of movies ‘to see how it turned out’ ?
Mat and his Dad are the definition of pure dedication hats off to you mate!
Only a dad would do all that work to help his son 🤗🤗
I feel for his mother though...... sorry girl!!.... Boys got to be boys😅😅
After watching this I am 100% sure that I will never buy a car like that. You guys have alot of patience, I would been cursing the whole time.
Your dad is a very smart and talented mechanic.
They way you guys handle dissapointment is crazy, ups to you👊
For real tho, I would have lost my mind for sure!
Yeahhh this is what i love most about Mat & his dad. Probably the biggest reason why I watch, that's inspirational for me. Trying to learn from them in this regard.
Each problem means more content lol
First time hearing Mat's dad swear, this was really brutal and it wasn't even a full rebuild. Thank you for keeping on going Mat we appreciate your work brother.
He says " What a F***ing mess" on the Murcilago build when Mat removes the green wrap. LOL
Sorry it was 2 in the morning 😮😮😢
@@tonyarmstrong2987no need to apologize it's totally understandable.
@@tonyarmstrong2987 no worries I would’ve said worse in your situation 😂😂
@@hawkboy451 no ways I never noticed 😅😂
I'm not a car fan but this was a brilliant little series. What a great story!
We all need a friend like Mat and a father like Tony. I love you guys you help me while depressed af
thanks man thats nicest thing someone has said to me in a long time @@JomptonCrew
You will get out of it man, congratulations on being better ❤ ! Keep it up
You got this
Amen to that bro!
we all need to fight sometimes trough depression brother, trust in God🙏🏽 on bad days never forget that the good days are yet to come...
On behalf of everyone, thank you Mat for your content. It's crazy, nobody makes me as happy about a 40 minute video as you do! ❤
Woah, it’s 40 min. Just watched it and felt like 15 min
Absolutely agreed
Would watch this over anything. So good! Thanks Mat, we all appreciate you and Tony!
Matt is the only reason i come on UA-cam every week without fail 🙏🏼
the second hand stress from this video was strong 😰 thankfully you had positive knowledgable people around. Thank god for Tony's 'one last ideas' 😆
Good god Mat .....I'm sat here after having my worst two days of leukemia so far and you've actually made me feel better !!! Seeing your struggle and watching that engine go from bay to hoist and you keeping your cool ...it was gallows humour but it made me smile how you ,your dad and team just got on with it. ....which is to be applauded.....I only wish i had something to plug into me to locate the faults ....
Thanks 🙏 for entertaining me , keeping me smiling and staying positive mate !!
Gary (North Wales) ....very much colder and wet !! 😊
Sending you some positive vibes mate. Keep fighting brother. From one human to another, you got this. I practically grew up in Beaumaris. North Wales is very dear to me. I live in the US now, but when i pass, my ashes will return to Llanfais.
hope you win the battle m8 keep up the fight
@@usernamehere397thank you mate....🙏
Sending you prayers and possitivity from Romania! Keep on battling!
hang in there, pray to Allah, god willing you get better ameen
Seems to be an overly complicated engine. But props to Tavarish for letting all this happen while helping.
Complicated? Yes. Overly? No
Twin turbo V8s are well known for their simplicity and ease of maintenance. There is so much space to work around the engine. For mechanical masochists anyhow.
German engineering for you
@@johnnychimpo7539you’ve never worked on an Audi have you. They literally create more problems trying to engineer solutions to problems that don’t exist
@@JordzyBrev AMG is way better, just saying 😜
Tavarish is the goat for letting him use his shop
Hey Mat, really needing an update to this story :) I really hope you have it on the road!
We really wait for this ;)
@matarmstrong. yes what’s the next step?:)
yes, need an update please!
The emotional roller-coaster in this video was brutal. Hats off to you Mat. You have more patience than most!
Matt I genuinely don't know how you and your Dad keep such a great and positive attitude in light of such trials and tribulations. It's amazing to see.
The amount of money being made from those trials would make anyone smile. 100k+ veiws in an hour....thats not inconsequential. In terms of generating content the wrong fuel was a goldmine. Its a bit like Top Gear (RIP), its the chemistry of the people that matters. Im pretty sure that Matt, Dad and crew could make a great video putting together 3 pieces of mechano at this point.
@@jamesmaybrick2001 Doesn't change the fact that it's a huge amount of work on top of his trip over to the US was pretty much ruined, Sometimes it's about more than money. Him and his Dad were coming to make memories which I guess they did just not the one they wanted to.
100 noticed this too. pure positivity in life!!!
Come on Matt get this Audi going . You can do it.
They have an amazing relationship! That's not very common
The amount of patience of you and you're dad is insane. I failed sometimes, and I failed BIG (maybe not this big) , but never with that wide smile on my face. Heavy appreciations for everything you guys done on this. Big fan of Audi, I would never sell that car, after all of this you've been through. Best of luck!
It's super inspiring to see how hard you all work and the effort that you put into these videos. You guys are all awesome!
As an automotive technician for over 35 years. Two ruels of thumb. Always bench test a starter when replacing a seized engine and, always tear a junkyard engine down to long block before installing. Always use the known good parts from the original engine. Never use a junkyard intake/exhaust manifold, fuel injectors, or other electronics. A regular mechanic would loose his ass having to pull the engine 2 or 3 times but, the good news is that for a youtuber, it's just more content. I mean. Who else can make money on an engine that won't start? You guts are great. I love the channel and It's so great that your back in Tavarish's shop. You work great together. I love it.
This whole series is the embodiment of:
I get knocked down, but I get up again. You are never gonna keep me down!
We'll be singing.
As a mechanic myself, and a former c7 s6 Avant owner… I HATE that 1 small problem can cause so much work/time/heartache. Makes you contemplate modifying cars at times. So much so I felt the need for this to be my first ever YT comment.
RIP
But love the videos, keep em coming
Your Dad's laugh is the best when u deleted EPC. Epic.
I’m now 64 years old and have been rebuilding engines since I was 9. My heart was bleeding for you all the way through. The elation of an engine firing into life and the crushing feeling when stuff goes wrong. I never get tired of it. Love every minute.
❤👍👍👍
lmaoooo union
Mate! This was a bleeding mystery thriller that had me on the edge of my seat throughout. And, what a cliffhanger ending!! 👏👏👏👏 In all seriousness, you guys ROCK! Your perseverance, your determination, your positivity and your always present humour and modesty prevail. On top of that, Tavarish is a diamond geezer, with an incredible support crew! AMAZEBALLS from a MASSIVE British fan based in Los Angeles (MASSIVE as in my fanship of your channel, not in me being a HUGE Michelin man fatso). 🌟🍾👍
So good to see Freddie in thr video as u are using his garage
There is some serious determination in these videos...Matt you truly deserve the success youve had.
Facts man! I am a mechanic myself and when things like this happen, I honestly just want to give up and give the job to someone else 😂 If there’s anyone I feel bad for.. it’s him! That kind of dedication determination to get something done isn’t taught, they don’t make men like that no more haha
Fair play to you man for real, I would’ve thrown the towel when it seized icl. At the same time I need to take into account you guys do get paid a lot of money to do this shit, so I don’t feel as bad lmao, it’s quite literally his job I guess sooooo
@@channelgone6631He's like a heavy weight boxer of determination.
I have exactly the same words to say, his determination must be a lesson for us all.
Hi. I've been getting your videos suggested to me by UA-cam for a long time. I decided to watch the first RS6 video yesterday and I watched the rest over a day or so. I love your positivity in the videos. You smile even when things are very obviously frustrating. The videography is great. The way you tell the story is great. I'm a new subscriber now. Keep up the good work.
This summarizes every major car project so perfectly for anyone who does their own work. Awesome attitude throughout though, and love the updates on the analysis and troubleshooting for the audience.
Wow. That is crazy time for that job. Love Audi, but is these engine designs are madness.
Awesome to see a guy that breaks down apple products seeing someone else take apart less elegantly designed creations. Cheers Zollo
Tbf, all audis are shoehorned in to their engine bays.. and i dont know why they wouldn't have checked the starter prior to putting the engine in.
Same as all the coding, intake flaps, engine mounts, those rusty bolts on the crank pulley, marking vacuum lines with numbers, gettingthe right starter motor.. it's just about doing things properly.. the workshop manual is there for a reason.
And the S6/S7 is not the same engine as the Rs6/Rs7
@@TheDarkhorse82 it was an S6 starter motor rs7 engine
@@TheDarkhorse82 Great comments here, but these individuals seem not to heed any wise advice given in the comments section. As you wisely pointed out, to refit a starter motor from a seized engine without having tested it knowing the difficulty of access once the engine is fitted, is close to insanity. So is not labeling pipes with matching numbers to their locations, considering the amount fitted on this engine!. With all due respect, it's clear these guys are merely fitters, but not engineers... is a big difference. As soon as I spotted the melted electrode on a removed spark plug, I commented that detonation seemed apparent after having cut my own cylinder head profiles in the past. That's what happens when you run boost levels to the degree they are, detonation lies just around the corner due to the increased volumes of air passing into the engine. They will not learn from that, as they are going to do the same or similar by mapping this engine too, is a case or naivety!. The cause of the last engine failing, was not purely just down to the fuel octane rating alone. Could be compared to jumping off a boat into shark infested waters, knowing your friend had their leg bitten off at the same location you're jumping into!, cheers.
@@galaxion62I'm thinking of getting an Audi A7 2016 down to Nigeria.
DO you have knowledge on the car and its issues?
Is it an OK car to get seeing as our technicians are still left behind in terms of tech?
Thanks
A 40 minute masterpiece from Mat? Today gonna be a good day
Not for him..
5,621st! Another one hits the UNIT! LØVË watching your builds. The final results are always amazing. Roger in Pierre South Dakota USA
I love the fact that you are doing all this with your dad - when he gets there at that age and time, at least you know you spent as much time as you could which I regret every day I did not do as much when adulting kicked in - I was away a lot.
Cherish it as much as you can, the good and bad, you only live once and it not many do such and as much activity together as you 2 do so cheers mates.
Freddy and Matt are the only real UA-camrs that show all the complications and we love it 👍👍👍
Terrible engine to work on,the Germans have no compassion for mechanics 😢
agree 💯%
Don't forget, Mr. Armstrong!!!
Freddie is such a star. Mechanical messiah and general all around top bloke.
All while cheering "Engine out! Engine out!"
I love Matt's videos and after watching each one I am so glad I bought fast EV because I'm too old to be worrying about the mechanical workings of an ICE vehicle. Don't get me wrong, I still love them, but don't want to own anymore after my 45th ICE vehicle in 46 years.
Man i rate the patience of Mat and the guys for always managing to smile and keep the build moving. I know for a fact id of blew my lid by now and im actually a calm person lol. Years ago i couldn't get locking nut off wheel on my Ford Orion ghia (showing my age lol) after 15min and plenty knuckle scrapping the boot lid rear arch and back window took the brunt of my frustration and temper with tyre iron swinging😮. Yes i did regret this 10min later.
Can we just all give Matt some credit for his persistence to get this beast working.. it will be all worth it at the end mate!! Love the content🔥🔥
Absolutely madness how he kept going after all those issues. I would’ve 100% given up.
I 100% felt the pain every time Mat tried to start it. Can’t wait for the update
That 600 dollar 'reconditioned' starter motor that looked like it was wrapped in tape didn't fill me with much confidence tbh, I'd be on the phone to whoever sold it rapid.
I've been following these videos of the RS6 and it brings joy to my face seeing how you overcome problem after problem. I've done a little bit of auto work myself and it seems to go the same way. Seeing you not throw in the towel and learn from the process is inspiring.
Congratulations to 2 million subscribers!!! Well deserved!
Fuck I'm actually gutted, my anxiety was through the roof with this episode!
I will say though... my dad died last month and I never actually got to know him, you're getting to spend all this time with your dad and that's just priceless.
Can't wait to see where this goes!
my condolences george
Big shout out to TAVARISH for being an amazing friend but gaining some of Matts followers in the process. Win win to both top blokes

Absolutely mind blowing 😳😳you all have the patience of Saints 🙏🙏so much positivity despite being knocked down time and time again. Matt, you , your dad, Freddy has been sent back down to earth from car heaven to you Matt. 🙏Is there a better Car rebuild channel on UA-cam ? I don’t think so mate. Pure addiction watching you guys in action. 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
I love how chilled relaxed and positive this guy is even when it hit rocks bottom
everybody needs a Freddy in there friends list. Not many people would let them do what your doing in there workshop with all there cars in there, Top bloke Freddy...

@@MarkoVukovic0 right, that too🤣
How do you keep your motivation up Mat? You're so lucky to have Freddie, his workshop and your dad to help you out. Cheers Mate from Australia.
Your father always smiling and laughing ; such a joy
You are a better man than me I would have lost my Italian temper and started throwing parts and tools. I am currently restoring a 68 Amc Amx I will only buy new electrical parts if I can get them especially the starter. Every car I work on if the starter looks beat up it gets a new one if not. I will rebuild it myself if the parts are available.
Your dad is a legend so glad he’s apart of the gang now in all the videos
I wonder if your Dad could imagine a few years back, that his son would completely turn his life on its head. There is no doubt that you, Mat, and your Dad are in seventh heaven and your Dad is enjoying every minute of his life as much as you are. Long may it continue. Superb work as always. Cheers from the UK, Bob
Matt you and your dad are Hero's, so much mishaps and still grinning and smiling. The only place where I saw something similar was on Bali where most people are Buddhist. Deep respect for so much positivity giving the situation.
What an episode. Mat doesnt fix cars only. He fixes attitudes too. You are blessed sir. .. Greetings from Nairobi, 🇰🇪
Hi Matt. I have only watched 5 mins of this post. I have 2 ideas you need to consider. 1 You need to buy or rent a property in the states. Don’t ship any more cars from the UK to the states that you can’t get the same car in the states. Keep doing what you and your Dad do. And keeping us entertained 😊😊
Dude he didn't exoect the engine to BLOW and he came to florida for SEMA😂❤
@@Mohammadrexa1sema is in Vegas
Mat deserves all the support he can get, the things he went through this video along is enough to make one quit, but Mat and his Dad kept positive vibes all along, incredible
Only youtube channel where I don’t skip and actually check for minutes hoping I got at least 10 minutes left.
26:25 - You just met the RS6 tax. Identical parts just a higher price tag. It's incredible what Audi is charging for parts.
I needed a sensor on my older RS4 B5 - we figured out that the sensor costed 160 euro for the RS4. However the S4 has the exact same sensor, just with no RS badge and costs 80 euro.
It is a brilliant build by a brilliant owner! Can’t wait until it is fixed!
Totally agreed brother, best utuber out there!Better than shmee,better than dde,period!👍👍🦾🏈🇿🇦
@@craigmorgan4676I can't stand schmee personally.... matts videos are quality 👌
As a car mechanic im very sorry you`ve had to feel the pain we go through every day. All joking aside im super impressed with your dedication, your vids are top quality and very enjoyable. Keep it up Mat!!!
your right Matts perceverance is amazing
Your pain will be many others gain.
The determination and knowledge you pass on with great positive attitudes and fun is amazing .
Man... see this channel for few days. These guys are totally car mechanics. This is very special. And totally impressive.
Dad is supersmart too.
Thumbs up 👍 for Freddy for his help and support, such a great guy. Mat with all the problems you just keep smiling 😁
Your Patience is unbelievable Matt, how all of you manage to laugh about all these hardships is beyond me, You all deserve credit for these fantastic videos, what a great team.
Mat loves his job so much, he does everything 3 times
This car was not meant to be on road. bad decision of buying this one. hats off to you and ur dad for that positive attitude
Mat, you and your dad are beyond amazing. Cannot believe your positivity and insane work ethic.
Because MONEY
@@seanoturboso u don’t work for money?
Mat I am INSPIRED! You never stop SMILING! you just shake it off and keep on going. Every video, every car, every build, you have crazy problems and you keep on going with a smile on your face. Inspiring mate, really!
mate if you have funds to sort every single problem out with your car problems are no big problems, mine may be yours it starts when you spending your own money to fix something, Matt is working hard with his channel and making money with his passion! so much difference between people who make money with normal work to spend money to fix their passion.
Probably loves issues like this, can make another 3 videos without buying another car!
Love that he's always smiling though and his content is great
No more top gear, but we have MA and his crew… 1000% better viewing 😊
For me... this engine looks like an over-enginered piece of xxxx. You have my full respect, that you go through this painful work.
Mat and Tavarish is the rebuild super team!
And Dad!
Lost my dad over a year ago and he was just like yours, loved this kind of thing and working together on cars. Its great to see you guys working on all these massive projects and having a laugh together
And I thought that working in a rs4 was a nightmare… congrats Matt,you are the men
This channel's troubleshooting masochism is my entertainment! Nothing like this anywhere.
Mat be thankful for your father. Many of us didn't know our fathers. I really enjoy seeing you guys take on all challenges together!
Mats father is a total gem .... Respect !!!
Give the guy a break, he just went for a pack of smokes.
Ahhhhh Matt!!! I was on the edge on my seat watching this….. I can’t believe how many ups and downs you’ve had with this car. You literally should win a Grammy!!! I hope you get it fixed and can drive it…. Keep the content coming you’re killin it ✌️
Every time I watch it on the train home I constantly catch myself with a big smile on. 😅
Your dad is awesome,I never had a dad,he left when I was 3 years old,I know you appreciate him,that's cool.
I'm so impressed how you all stay so positive in the face of such adversity and bad luck.
This is the closest I've seen Mat and his team get to dispirited, but even now they take it on the chin with a smile on their faces! I was frustrated for them, but it's inspirational seeing the attitude of these guys. I know its ultimately all good content for them which must lessen the blow somewhat, but it would get to anyone when you have a goal that's constantly just out of reach. Their reactions these to these tests highlight their nature as true gents!
That was so so good! I tell you that Netflix are missing a trick!! I was on the edge of my seat!! Haven’t felt like that since I use to watch Flash Gordon at the Saturday Matinee. Great viewing 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
We need a ringtone of Tony's laugh!!! So contagious
You and your dad are simply amazing. Still laughing and smiling throughout all your vehicle hardships, and solving the issues that would have broken me. Sadly the complications of the car have put me off ever wanting one.
More problems=more content=more money
@@H3YdUD3alright pal calm down
My heart goes out to you Matt. I give you credit that you stay so calm after 1 problem after another
You guys are incredible so much positivity and energy despite all the setbacks. You guys are role model material for life no matter how many obstacles keep going lobe your mindset Matt 👏
10:51 I live how she starts to tell you she can’t tell you when but she literally starts to say back in….
I love car videos, but after channels like this, jack builds it and Tavarish, you really develop an appreciation for their problem solving skills and persistence. They never give up, no matter how big the task. I love it! Well done guys!
You are not only a great team, amazing mechanics and awesome video producers, you're also incredible story tellers. Never felt the highs and lows like this. You guys are AWESOME!!
The relentlessness is so admirable !!
