I was reading that a lot of those seals will also go bad because of the crankcase breather system. The system becomes clogged and restricts/blocks airflow and thus air pressure has to find a new way out. I.E. through the seals. So I would inspect the breather system. If it has oil deposits inside the tubing chances are that the pumps and sensors are gummed up too. This occurs because of constant low rpm driving which causes condensation and sludge to build up and another problem is not allowing the engine to reach full operating temp before shutting it down again. these engines are meant to be driven. so drive it like you stole it!
Hi Guys, I have one of the Allroads with this engine. I get the same horrible smell. However, I replaced the rocker cover gaskets and it didn't stop. I figured out it was the rubber blanking plugs on the back of the head. You can see the leak nicely on this engine too.
it's good that this engine has turbochargers because it is small? Quite the contrary, it's actually relatively big when compared to many new modern engines like the 4G63, SR20det etc. Not to mention that this is a factory twin turbo set-up.
wow u were so far away form the real problem. It was obvious, ur rocker cover is leaking, and the moon shaped sealing are also due to replace. But i would be so happy if u explain it to me how does the oil flows up way?!?
Csaba Kövi I clearly had no clue what I was saying.. I thought under heavy engine load oil would squirt out from somewhere and hot the exhaust manifold.. it was my first Audi.. I'm much wiser now on my 3rd Audi
When this engine came out, (I don't remember when ) I thought it was pretty small to make 250hp. But guess what? The new Ford Ecoboost is the same size but make 325hp I want to drive an Audi 2.7T before I drive an Ecoboost.
I'm not sure if the oil on the exaust is actually caused by the turbo, but rather a leak headgasket dripping on top of it. 2.7 T's are bound to have leaking head gaskets. :)
quattro4life250 I have this issue white smoke and oil leaking from valve cover chances are that rear moon seals are leaking but where is the coolant leaking from lots of white smoke any suggestions?
If I reach my hand underneath my valve covers on my 2.7t, I can feel oil. Is there anything else besides the valve covers that could leak on there onto the headers?
If it isn't blown turbos or stuck open injector shredding the engine, it's the dang transmission D-Drum.. Garbage car. "Oh, and don't dare try to properly dismantle the intake plastics.. Unless you have new ones." Junk'a.

Good work man!
I like it when people show there engines like you do.any hobymecanics have a hard time understanding the details:)

yeah man.. those half Moon seals for the cam tensioner were bad.. common with these engines

you are absolutely right.. it's the half Moon seal in the rear.. for the cam tensioner seals..
thanks boss
Oil on the manifold is from your cam seals. Common problem on these motors. Also white smoke is coolant and blue smoke is oil

good video what kind of common problems will you face if buying a used a6 with a 2.7t in it thanks
just oil leaks from the cam tensioner half Moon seals.. that was my issue
+maouloud19 ok buddy you have any experience with the cvt 1.8t
Shimon La Hee' no I don't man.. Sorry.
+maouloud19 ok cool thanks
+Shimon La Hee' yup

same here
Buy factory gaskets they last longer, please don't buy after market ones!!
Since its out, swap your heads over to thr 2.8 heads
yes they are bigger
just too bad it's soo freaky cramped up the wahzoo in the engine bay.
Somebody Neglected this engine....period.!
the first owner..
It’s an Audi, they are neglected when they are made and designed
@@neondiamondsaquaberry17 your comment makes no sense. They are troublesome when neglected..
Thats a turbine whel
Get a new mechanic, he’s doing a shit job
а чем ролег?
о твоей тупости
