Thank you 100 times for making this video. I do just have a question about the Exhaust Manifold, I was quoted like $5K to have the exhaust manifold taken down and have some combination valve cleaned. We are getting P0491 & P0492 Codes, I believe that the cleaning you showed is what's needed though. What is your opinion?
@BarnettLLC You're very welcome. I see. What they are referring to is the SAI ports which is also another area of carbon buildup that can cause those 2 codes to come up. I think you should have all affected locations clean of carbon buildup, intake and exhaust ports and SAI ports if you plan to keep the car for longer.
@HaZarD1k your welcome. There is a specific tool you can use to turn the crank to lower the valves. I didn't have the tool at the time so I carefully turned it by the crank pulley bolts.
Nice work! Few questions though: 1) I've seen other videos were the fuel injectors need to be taken out to replace their seals, same engine and generation, and pretty sure same car or it might have been an A4, can't remember now. Did you not need to do this? 2) Did you torque down the bolts for the intake manifold when putting it back on to a specific spec? I've heard this must be done on other videos. 3) What tool did you use to turn the crank?
Thanks! 1) This depends if you want to or plan to replace all of the fuel injector seals on a fuel injector. What people usually do and what I did in my case is only replace the top seals on the injector for sure and then if the injector pops out with the fuel rail, we would continue to replace all of the seals on the injector. I got lucky and no injectors popped out. There were more seals/clips components in each seal kit. 2) I couldn't find the exact torque spec but found that alot of intake manifold torque specs were between 6-10NM, so I torqued mine to about 8NM in a specific sequence. 3) I was actually able to carefully turn the crank with using an M10 triple square bit spocket on one of the 8 crank pulley bolts. However, I believe there is a specific tool to turn the crank.
@@cjscarcollection18 thank you so much for replying to all my questions! Especially that first one, great insights there, had never heard that elsewhere before. Great job again and will definitely be referring to your video again in the future when I carbon clean my Q5!
Another question, did you remove the fuse for the electrical fuel pump before disconnecting the fuel lines? To prevent too much fuel spraying out. Or was it not that bad and a rag underneath the fuel lines was enough to capture most of all of it? It's been recommended to do this prior on another video to prevent fuel spraying everywhere. What was your experience like with this?
Honestly, if you take care of the car and the previous owners did, you should be fine. Unfortunately, I have no experience with the 2.8FSI cause we did not get that engine here in the states in the C6 A6.
I am about to do this job on my Q5 soon. Just wondering, how long did you estimate this took on yours? And were there any mishaps or mistakes that are not shown in the video? I want to make sure I’m very clear and have every detail understoodbefore I take it apart
By mishaps, I mean, did any of the screws or bolts strip out or break on you. Or anything to this that you can think of.? And do you think it’s necessary to spray a little neverSeize on any of the screws or bolts before starting?
@jasonrainwater1218 It's hard to gauge cause I was recording at the same time so it took much longer but if I would have to guess it probably took anywhere from 5-7hrs. All screws and bolts did not strip or were they seized. They came out fine. I don't think it's necessary to screw any of that on the screws/bolts. One thing that I feel will most likely happen is breaking the crankcase ventilation hose. That hose just weakens over time and when I removed mine it cracked. Also be careful with the injectors. Other than that everything actually went smoothly.
Thanks a bunch. This is the most descriptive and easy to understand, video that I have viewed on this app On a different subject, someone swiped, my passenger side, rearview mirror off a couple days ago and I ordered a new one. I’m not sure how to start the process of swapping out the passenger side mirror so I looked for any video/tutorial and couldn’t find anything on the 2010 Q5. There are some that are on different Audi) but not 2010. The process is probably the same but do you have any recommendations or video referral to offer? I’m sure it’s simple but I prefer being thorough. Not sure where the crank case hose is located on the Q5. Does it have any characteristics that stand out? So I can look out for it.
Hey man again, I appreciate the thorough video. I do have another question. I may have glanced over certain parts, so I’ll probably watch again, but did you pull any fuses before hand? Particularly the fuel, So as to avoid gas spraying everywhere if vehicle is turned on or even turned off? It’s usually the details that I will make a mistake on if any mistakes are made. That’s why I’m asking question. The other question is, do you think it’s necessary to turn the valves open for possible cleaning? I have 160K miles.
I carefully turned the crank/crank pulley using a m10 triple square bit socket on one of the crank bolts. However, there is a specific tool made to do this correctly.
I'm curious. How much would this job cost at a typical shop (the type that specialize in the German cars)? And would the cost be the same is the cleaning was done using the Walnut blasting method? Great job by the way.
@@cjscarcollection18 By the way, what size rims and tires do you have? I like how flush to the fender flares they sit. Do the rims have a negative offset. Thanks in advance
Fantastic video with clear instructions, great audio, straight to the point. Well done, sir!
Thanks! 👍
A very useful video. I'm waiting for more videos with this Audi Q5. Thumbs up
Thanks, more to come 👍

How to do this on a 2020 q5 hybrid
I'm not quite sure as I am not familiar with that engine.
After I put it together my car is leaking gas I double checked everything is tight
@@santalirecords4260 I see. Did you put new gaskets on the injectors?
I didn’t just ordered them lol I’m sure that’s what it is, just me being lazy
@santalirecords4260 haha yea that's probably it. Let me know if anything after 👍

I'm honestly not sure. I've seen others saying from $600 and up depending on where you take it too. And thanks 👍
I got quoted $1500
