- detailed instructions to replacing the leaky valve cover gaskets on your Audi A6
valve cover bolt torque is 9nm or roughly 7 ft/lbs, 80 in/lbs. start at the middle plug and work your way out. (basically snug them down by hand nothing crazy) any questions feel free to email me at nosleepinc2020@gmail.com
for questions or you would like the diagram of the tightening sequence.
if oil keeps getting into the plug tubes after the gaskets replaces in the video are changed.
then the lower tube gaskets must be replaced and involves removal of the camshafts and is an in depth repair by a trained professional. if it done incorrectly severe engine damage can happen!
Great video. Picking up new gaskets for mine tomorrow, and with this video it feels a lot less daunting of a job on an engine I hardly know. :) Thanks! :)
Glad I could be of assistance! If you have any questions feel free to email me at nosleepinc2020@gmail.com

This will be my brother and I new project in restoring his 2005 audi a6 3.2 quattro just got done replacing an oxygen sensor and the car breaths better now so 👌
This is gold, thank you so much! Now I will actually have the courage to do this myself
Excellent video, however there is a recommended pattern for bolt tightening for the covers you can find with a google search. Thank you for sharing this video was very helpful!
There is an exact one some where, but start from the middle and work your way out.
Very good video bro bro I was nervous about doing it at first
Oh man... so when you started reassembling, I didn't realize the camera angle had changed and thought "OH NO HE'S PUTTING THEM ON BACKWARDS!" lol. I'm an idiot sometimes.
This really helped me when I was halfway through on my a5😂
Does bad gasket cause misfire I changed my plugs and coil but still misfire I noticed my old plugs had a little bit of oil on them
Oil can damage the coil. You need to do a compression test and see if the cylinder is in good mechanical shape
You help a lot of people with this. I don’t think you know.
That's all I ask for. If you or anyone has any questions feel free to email me at nosleepinc2020@gmail.com
This was easy to do for me took me about 45 minutes to do not bad
Nice job!
I had oil in my plugs, replaced the gaskets and I'm still leaking. Possibly from underneath how do I fix that?
It is an extensive job. You have to remove the cam shafts and timing components
Good video
I was told by a shop that he would charge me 385 dollars for Labor. I asked how many hours? He said 4. I may be wrong but it looked maybe about and hour?
If they go by book time which almost every shop does that is what it might cost, particularly if they are trying to cover their butt for when those brittle plastic breather hoses break, or are already cracked. Speed is developed through practice and skill. If on paper the job should take 4 hours and I did it in 2 because I am good, why should I make less money? I personally feel $385 would be a reasonable amount to pay for parts and labor (gaskets and plugs) more if the pipes break or the coils are shot from being oil soaked. I want to say this job took about 2.5-3hrs. Because of the cleaning of parts and fishing broken coil boot ends off of the plugs.
My quote today 11/30/22 is 470.00 parts and labor. 100$ was the cost of parts.. talk about a little mark up.
ordered new plugs and gaskets. I am going to attempt this next week, Thank you for the video. --- side question - what do you recommend to clean/get rid of the oil in the spark wells
I used a "mighty vac fluid extractor" because there was solo much oil in the tubes, you can also use paper towel to soak it up as much as you can. Then just remove the plug and wrap a rag around a screw driver swab the tube, lastly give it a blast of brake clean and it will flush down into the cylinder. It will smoke at start up, but it's fine. If you have any more questions feel free to email me at nosleepinc2020@gmail.com.
@@nsigarage5212 Thank you!
if oil is dripping on my exhaust on the driver's side and burning smoke is that the valve cover gasket
Yes.
Excellent 👌
Which one is spark plug 6 where the oil cap is to the left or to the right when your working on it ?
123 passanger, 456 driver side 6 is back right
Hey I’m wondering if you can help me. I have this issue with my coil packs they are flooded with oil. But on the left side it’s all dry.
I have the same car as you. My car won’t start.
Please email at Nosleepinc2020@gmail.com and I will help you thr best I can!
THANK YOU!!!!!!
I have a 2007 A4 3.2. My engine looks basically the same, aside from the air filter setup. Do I have to drain the oil, before doing this?
No
@@nsigarage5212 ... Thank you!!!
Is there a torque setting for the valve cover bolts?
9nm. Or 7ft lbs. Start from middle plug and work your way out. If you email me at nosleepinc2020@gmail.com I have a sequence diagram
There is a very specific order to torque the bolts in. Startimg from the middle to out is certainly not going to suffice and your valve covers will be leaking again soon enough. Even undoing them has to happen in the same order just in reverse. This is delicate machinery and i have had the pleasure of redoing jobs just because of a wrong torque order
im still getting a misfire cylinder3
What have you tired?
Swap the coil to a cylinder on a differnt side and see if it follows. How does the plug look.
@@nsigarage5212 swapped coils and spark plugs must be dirty injector
Changed all injectors lol… Intake manifold runner position sensor/switch circuit p2014 and also still P0303. Also my ESP or traction control light is on and I just replaced abs shes speed sensors and beanie pedal sensor… looks like it’s steering angle sensor or I need to recalibrate it.
How long did this process take altogether ?
If all goes smooth 90 min
Awesome video although I do have a question. I am working on the driver side currently and I came across one bolt that was stripped and I really don’t know how to go about it. Would you have any ideas for me 😃 I hope you are having a great day thanks
You can drill it and use an easy out, if your not comfortable with that they make stubbier twist out bits for stripped wood screws,. I'm not sure if there is room around the bolt for larger diameter turbo socket to grab the outside of the bolt
Here is a link for new bolts. Any other questions feel free to email me at nosleepinc2020@gmail.com. good luck! There are more options as well

@@nsigarage5212 You’re great. Thanks so much
Just to confirm is the head stripped, or is the bolt stripped in the engine. If it's stripped in the engine then you will have to drill and put what's called a helicoil in it
@@nsigarage5212 Without a huge sense of knowledge on what you said lol I believe it’s stripped in the engine. Ummmm I’m not to sure what the head being stripped means. I’m so sorry I’m learning as I go pretty much
I will email you some photos if you don’t mind
Hey brother question I have 2008 3.2 A6 Quattro would this be the same ! In Canada
There might be a couple differences. But 99% the same
@@nsigarage5212 thank you for the reply brother appreciate it ! Keep up the good work
10/10
Well... If you get oil into the sparkplugs... Most likely you need to replace the gaskets under the camshafts, and the ANAEROBIC sealant as well. Changing only valve cover gasket, won't fix your problem.
I agree with you. The customer originally came for a tune up and the valve cover leaking on to the exhaust. I will add the lower gasket info into the discripton
What are the gaskets under the camshafts called and would it be a job I could do from home? I dont have much experience in working on cars, but I did replace both of my valve cover gaskets in a decent time (like 2 hours or less). I also replaced my camshaft position sensor last week with no hiccups. I would just pay someone to do it but the closest place that'll work on mh car is almost 2 hours away and its an audi dealership.
I believe they are called spark plugs tube seals. It is really a professional job. If you are so much off 1 tooth on the timing chains you can basically total the engine
@@nsigarage5212 with the appropriate tools and designated locking pin... It's very unlikely to ruin it...
If you know how to replace the headlight bulbs in this car then u should be good with the valve cover gasket🤦🏽♂️💀🤷🏽♂️😂😂
Really good video if I pull this off I might get laid by her friend it's adrnake ones if a Audi and it keeps getting oil in the plugs
Audi a6 quattro 2007 the worst car money can buy. Absolutely a junk car not worth the money
Hi, great work. But what are the bolts/size called that hold the coil pack in place? Thx. (3.2 a4 07)
Torx bits. I want to say a T30 but that may be off.
Hey I’m wondering if you can help me. I have this issue with my coil packs they are flooded with oil. But on the left side it’s all dry.
I have the same car as you. My car won’t start.
Did it randomly stop running? Is it trying to start? Please email me at Nosleepinc2020@gmail.com and I will do what I can to help you out
I have same issue with mine. Oil on 4,5,6 (right side). The gaskets have 19k. Can't imagine needs to be replaced. PCV ?@@nsigarage5212
