Audi A6 C6 Quattro OIL LEAK - $3 solution and 10 min fix! It works!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 бер 2019
- I had an oil leak on my 2006 Audi A6 c6. Burned oil smell in the cabin and around the car.
Tried everything....Replaced the valve cover gaskets twice and no results.
Eventually....the solution was VERY SIMPLE - o-rings on Camshaft valve solenoid adjuster.
Very simple 10 min fix...and very inexpensive...just $3/a piece at official Audi dealership.
Audi A6 OIL LEAK, oil leak solution, Audi oil leak, Big oil leak on my Audi A6, bad oil leak Audi,
Seems like all of us went through the same problem I changed my valve cover gaskets too really contemplating on keeping my car because the oil leak seems complex I am going to buy the O rings tomorrow & will keep you updated! Either way thanks for sharing everyone seems to be grateful & you helped a lot of people out!!!
Lifesaver. I replaced the valve cover gaskets, vacuum pump, etc. Still oil leaked everywhere. I actually tracked the leak down to the one on the driver's side. However, I did not notice that there were FOUR OF THEM!!!! Thanks for the pointer. I know how to conquer this leak now.
Same here, man, and I have the exact same car this guy has with the same issues.
Ended up getting rid of this junker!! The guides on one of timing chains went unexpectedly after completed a slew of repairs. I was done after that. Not taking the engine out to repair a plastic part!.@@dewaynejay1032
holly, I was searching were is oil coming out for 6 months S8V10, 2 of them have a leak after watching this video, it was very close to selling the car. tnx bro, fixed already
Good to hear. Thank you for sharing
Thanks new best friend, My sister spent hundreds replacing valve cover gaskets, breather gaskets and oil filter housing gasket. Turns out it was these lil o rings the whole time. Not sure how every shop missed this but it took me just a few minutes to do the repair. It took longer to degrease n wash the engine. Much gratitude.
Believe it or not but actually this simple fix - besides fixing the huge oil leakage - also brought an end to my cold start timing chain rattle I had from time to time, still impressed by this...
I actually used a regular O-ring from a ring set and just sanded it down all around so it had a tight fit... worked great and no leaks so far!
So you don't have to necessarily buy the official Audi/VAG O-Ring(s)
Thank you for the hint!

Thanks for the idea. I had a bunch of leaks and fixed all... valve cover gaskets... timing chain covers... cam position sensor gasket. I pulled the intake to replace the oil filter housing gasket but it was fine. Still had nasty burning oil smell when driving. Saw this and bought 4 OEM gaskets from FCP Euro on sale for $1 each. Before pulling them, I cleaned the area around the solenoid with compressed air, and saw fresh oil seep out. No more burned oil smell! Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much for this video and what to really check. My 2007 3.2 started leaking oil today in the really cold temps in Missouri. After watching your video I inspected my camshaft solenoids and found the upper drivers side leaking heavily. I was able to use the part # provided in your video and picked up new seals from my local Audi dealer and replaced the 1 leaking badly and will replace the other 3 in a few days when warmer. Definitely fixed my oil leak issue. Thank you Terry Long St. Louis, MO
Outstanding
Very helpful! Experiencing the same issue and NOW I have a inexpensive solution. Awesome!
Perfactico manny, that is where ive seen oil leaking out, looks like an easy fix, thank yous soooo much
This is exactly what I needed to know! Thank you good sir! A thousand times more...
This was great information thank you for sharing. I'm actually impressed Audi has a separate o-ring kit that they sell. We all know how Manufacturers are wanting you to buy the entire assembly. Great video again, cheers from Utah!
Thanks to you I've saved some money I was going to replace valve cover gaskets and also reseal my timing covers because oil was traveling all over those areas due to these 4 all leaking needing new rings. Appreciate it you figuring this out and sharing it with everyone
If you have other vids with a6 f4c6 engine repairs you are a KING
Thanks for this video. Been looking for what’s leaking on my 3.2L Q5. I also did valve cover gasket and was still leaking. This definitely helped me
Thank you very much, I have the same problem and will definitely follow your advice and you just saved me a lot of money and trouble you are a life saver
Thanks again
Thank you for this detail video. I’m going to order the O rings. Will let you know.
Good man, my A6 just started leaking, had all kinds of expensive work done, probably this is the actual source. Thanks!
Thank you very much for the hot tip sir. Great video. I have a 2006 A6/C6 Quattro with the 3.2 also. Love the car.
Thankyou great video!! Thats exactly what i needed..
I used the green AC ones from a mix I had. Easy enough. Very handy to have a magnet for the torx screw.
Wish I'd a seen this before I bought 2 of them! nice!!
Great video... worked for me! Thank you!!!
Good man thanks for sharing your knowledge
This was very helpful..
Thank You So Much!

wish i would have seen this video before replacing all 4 of mine
Thank you…God bless you!
If I could jump through the screen I would give you a big handshake and thank you. I'm going crazy trying to find this oil leak thickened it's the O2 sensor clogged up at this and that but it's Bowser off of these and drop it down there. Change the valve cover gasket like you said did not help.
Thank you, that solved my probleme :)
Thank you
thank you so much !!!! wow !!!
Thanks a lot mate :)
Does this apply to the 3.0 TFSI Supercharged motor also? The 3.2 NA is similar to the 3.0T.
A shop told me that it can be my rear main or a oil galley plug should i try this or listen to them and have it fixed?
Do those leak alot over time? I have a pool of oil underneath the intake manifold area, the mechanic suspects its only the solenoids leaking but im not sure maybe theres more leaking?
I have this problem with a audi a4 b7, this oring fits to my car.?
Thanks
Is this also applicable for 05 audi a6 3.2 which means oil through valve cover gasket
I have 2ltr Audi a5 got oil leak do you think it could be same problem just little drops of oil on ground
Dude im trying this ASAP!!!!!!! I've had this car 2 almost 3 yes been burning oil ever since I did the oil filter housing first then the timing chain cover seal!!!! Water pump!!! 1400 dollars!!! Did the valve cover gaskets. No dice. 2 alternators went out from oil saturation. I can't stand this fucking smell!!! Im currently going broke buying oil every fuckin day! Asinine shit! Bless you sir I never saw this video b4 you uploaded March 2019. For the love God please don't take it down. I will try this asap! Back to the mech who told me the valve cover gaskets I'm gonna say look how simple this is! He has an RS7! Wtf is wrong with ppl! Maybe never had to do the timing chain cover seal as well! Thank you!
I completely understand what you are talking and feeling. I went through the same process. Now I have no oil leak since I did this. Good luck!
@@AkopMkrtumyan wow ur the man dude. I was just looking at a bottle of snake oil this morning I actually thought that's what you meant by 3 dollar fix the engine stop leak stuff. But this is much more sensible. Must be a sign ha I was gonna pour that stuff in man im fed up with this hopefully this works
methafuture did it work ?
@@tonylollollol OK so update I fixed it and the oil light didn't come on for like a week. It came on yesterday but I'm hoping that it significantly stopped the leaking. Haven't smelled anything in the cabin. 2 seals were dry and 2 were still pliable but idk. Also seems like I lost some power I have a light on but the low end torque isn't there like before I told the guy so who knows smh. I need to get an oil change n then see how long it goes without the light coming on. Gonna top it off tomorrow. And get the code. So far so good but feels like I'm trading one problem for another. I think maybe its a misfire but it was like this right after I got it back. Weird how a seal could make that happen 🤔
methafuture wait so the little o rings slowed down the leak..but then you lost torque some how? :/
Do you really need dealership O-Rings or can I just go to a hardware store and get a big assortment of metric O rings? Thank you so much for the video.
Matt Garza go with OEM o-rings...as I said they are $3/piece only. The regular o-rings they are thicker...I’ve tried....they won’t fit.
Good luck!
did you ever have oil in your bolt holes on the valve cover? Crazy to think these sensors can leak this much
Did you use a ball end torx?
10/10
I need the screw it fell any idea on the part number on the screw ?
Hey man I just had this done yesterday finally. Took it on the highway and there seems to be some low end torque loss. I do have a light on but it wasn't doing it before. The throttle response is definitely weird its not as quick. Any insight? I'll get the code checked. Will also check to see if it still leaks any or if it significantly stopped.
?
What to do if it is seized won't come out sfter taking the screw out
Hey friend, I would like to know where you can get those rubber ring ...
At the Audi dealership. They are $3/piece. Don’t buy any other place.
@@AkopMkrtumyan how to fix lrg evap leak without a smoke pro for this car? also how to fix bass in radio fades in & out when i hit a bump
FCP Euro has them for $1 each for anyone reading this now
Does the ground look like a bunch of small, to medium to larger oil spots, after parking (overnight)? As soon as you pointed to the first two, I thought "that is exactly where it's coming from."
Same with me. Replaced the PCV Piping, Oil Filter housing and gasket and was almost about to replace the Valve Cover Gaskets before seeing this. After taking another look it seems clear that this is where the oil is coming from really..
💯
What's the other symptoms besides an oil leak?
I get a fresh oil change and then every 500 miles or so I get the signal saying “must add a qtr oil to keep driving” can these lil rings really be the problem to this massive oil leak??
I have a 1998 A6 Quattro 2.8 and a burning oil smell which burns off after twenty minutes; could this be my problem? I can't find the camshaft solenoid adjusters on my engine; can you advise? I can't seem to find them on the Audi parts diagrams either- HELP PLEASE-Thanks
It's a different engine. Likely oil leak is valve cover gasket. Look above and forward from where toy see oil.
@@ijdad99 Thanks for your reply; I will have it checked-Roger

So my A6 2008 wont start after i put a new starter on it
Hi how much was to replace 1 head gasket?
How you take the o ring out & then put them back on??
Face Off
To remove the old o-ring won’t be hard. Just use a simple bradawl....It will just brake in to a pieces, because it will be hard as plastic.
And The new o-ring simply slide from the top and if needed just use a very small flat screwdriver.
Akop Mkrtumyan thanks bro
Hi, you say you have oil leak, not oil consumption, that is different or ir the same thing? Because some users says their cars use 1.5liters every 1500km, that is impossible to imagine. Please let me know your ideas. I am doing a research before to buy one A6. Thank you very much.
Gustavo Sosa
Oil leak...not consumption. 1.5 liters for 1500 km is crazy! Can’t be right!
I drive my car and don’t add any any oil from change to change. I had 3 of same Audi A6 personally. After you fix the oil leak, you should be ok
@@AkopMkrtumyan Thank you Akop. I have now a beautiful passat CC, V6 engine, 4motion, 300 horse power, a very fast car. A6 is the natural next step, but doing some research on the web, I read many users very sad by the cars, not only A6, but also Q7, A4, A5. Then I realize, perhaps my CC is the next natural step! But I will try to find more optimistic users like you about the A6. Thank you very much.
Hi! What are the dimensions of these o-rings?
Good question, I have the same. Do you already know the size?
wow i just went looked at mines and i see the oil leak there
I had one ,one of the worst cars I ever had germans trash leak oil from everywhere plus part to expensive
Hello - i have problem with oil in spark plugs leaking 😲
Either valve cover gasket leaking into spark plug wells, or camshaft girdle leak. Valve cover gaskets are about $70 in parts and 90 minutes of your time. Camshaft girdle leak is major engine disassembly. You might try using loctite cleaner/activator with some wicking 290 sealant dispensed into the seam with a tiny syringe if it's the girdle.
@@kenolson9881 today I soled my problem - 2 gasket spark plugs change ! 👍
www.ecstuning.com/ says that part number (
WHT 002 789) does NOT fit my A6 C6. What's the name of the part? I actually thought I ordered it on amazon, and got a set o 100 tiny o-rings that don't fit!
EDIT: It's 6PCS Variable Timing Solenoid Seal O-ring For Volkswagen Touareg Audi A6 Quattro.
Why does it say 6pcs when you only have 4 solenoids?
Is this same on 2.0tdi?
It's not the same comfiguration , yours it's diesel ...
I've seen this difference between my 2,4 V6 Quattro petrol / gas /benzine engine and a
Turbo Direct Injection❗
My problem is that the closest audi dealership is almost 100 miles away
Wtf you not show us how to take off rings ????
All because audi doesnt kmow how to make the oring...smh. Bye audi, hello toyota!!!:D
