different car review can you please make a vid on mustang 04-14
Super helpful review my friend. I would love to see a review of the Audi S7 from around 2013, and a Maserati Quattroporte 2014 to 2016 model V6 and V8 engine models. Would be awesome. Thanks for what you do my friend. Keep it up.
Owned this car for over a year. Absolutely loved driving it, but it was always in the shop for repair, which was very expensive. The mechanic actually said he wanted to put a statue of me outside his shop. I had to part with it, because I just couldn't afford it. Too bad. Such a beautiful car. If you have money to burn, then go for it for awhile. Unfortunately, I don't.
I owned one . For most people to know after 100k miles you will have to take the motor in to check the seals . After 100k seals go bad especially head gasket seals and valve cover gaskets . Let's add oil cooler and waterpump and also the famous 4 cats it comes with. Exhaust manifolds tend to go bad . Best to go after market . Car does loose some power due to heat and the way the cooling system is . It runs hot 🔥 it's a hot potato. After driving it hard you should just Crack the hood when u park to help cool the engine off or or or cut and modify hood slots . And did I say because of seals going bad she is quite the leaker. And people please if u do have the money and want to spend an ass load in labor then also please please change the Trans fluid and do a simple service because these transmissions are beast . Yes they are a bit laggy on shifting but u can tune that . They run great as long as u maintain them. My s6 is gone already but I do miss her . I spent a great deal of cash just getting her OK to drive after I bought her . Breaks rotors coils sparkplugs oil and coolant change carbon cleaning is not cheap . Remember u have 2 extra cylinders and she isn't a cheap whore either . I called her Kardashian because she is not cheap she only wants the best . And plus there's not much on tuning or turbos. Just e85 and ecu tune with Exhaust system will get u to 465 crank with 460 pounds of torque. They are fun but tons of cash for something that can't be modded alot . Do not boost this car Trans can't take it and motor can only handle max 500hp before u send the motor to hell
Where do you get an E85 tune?
At first, your guidance is so clear that I think I want one. But as you keep going I think, Lord, I do not care to do all that work. Thanks for both insights!

Hi
Best car review on youtube
I bought a badly abused one as my first car and restored it myself. I’m absolutely in love with it. Best decision I’ve ever made.
i dont think you'll keep the same energy after a while
Fantastic, clear description of the car and weak components. Thank you.
i never had one of the cars, you are presenting. but its a lot fun to watch, thanks
Great video. Very funny and informative. Keep up the good work.
thank you so much for this video. I recently purchased a V10 S6 a few months ago and I'll make sure to look out for these problems. I'm the 4th owner, but from looking at the service history I'm guessing it was swapped around so much because people didn't want to spend money working on it. The car ended up blowing the motor just after i bought it (covered under dealer warranty) so I can totally understand why the last 2 owners put only 30k on it lol.
How is the car 9 months later? I'm thinking about opgrading from the s6 c5 to this one in the near future.
how was it dealer covered?
How did you get dealer coverage for a car that is 10 or more years old?
Well done this guy did his vid spot on and covered it all to a t
Good job man , nice video!
This guy sums up years of knowledge in one single video? Amazing. My only question: to remove the speed limiter do I have to replace the ecu? With what?
Nah, just recode it in the ecu (let a proffesional do it)
Wow - i know this car very good, and i think you have mentened everything! Good Job!
Wow best review ever!!
Funny how this almost perfectly summed up my experience with my car.
Just bought mine with almost 200k miles, good luck to me, first day down and it drives and sounds like a beast in a cage
lmfaoo you’re wild for buying a 200k mile v10 audi 🤣🤣
how's it been?
Thanks a Lot for this Video!
Very good video!! thanks !!
nice review please do a review on citroen c6 am a car collector and need to know more thank you.
Don't buy if you don't have money to burn!!
No! DON'T BUY!!
Hey, are you going to do a S6 C5 review in the near future?
Greatings
""Not good" x) But the information was valuable. Thanks man! (:
ahh you're pretty funny man :P thanks for the video, keep up the good work
Good video, please make a video with audi rs3
everything is on point, as Ive pretty much had all these issues.
quite a coincidence, Im turning 18 soon and saw one of these for sale near me ;D
Hydraulic Press Channel? "Here we go!"
This is the reason why E 55 AMG is the best choice
The S6 used in the last picture was the one from Duisburg sold at 14,900€. Still hate myself for not getting it since it only had like 85000 km
Can u do a review on the Audi D3 S8?
Upload more man pls :D
Just found out it does 0 - 60 in 5.2 seconds, and that's when it runs fine. I have her faster cousin, getting 50mpg out of it, no rust because aluminium.
Thanks 🙏
Very nice review ! nie si slovak ?
This car is pretty and nice and the sleeper look is really good but the engine has lots of prpblems i already know so i think if you have the money and love the car go for it but the car has many problems also because of the engine which is to big for this car so it heats up very fast and reaches high temps so this car is cool and nice sounding and have very special charm but its a very price car after all things
informative as fk. Keep it up man!
I was supposed to exchange my Cayenne 3.2 for an Audi S6 Avant with double the milage…
Not so sure about it anymore… 😂
Bought one 5 months ago. No issues so far. Great V10 barge, but it lacks sound. So I ordered a Milltek system for it. Should arrive soon. - Before that I had a C5 S6 with a Sportec exhaust system (see video on my channel).
do you still have one? if so, what were the maintenance costs like for you?
@@brzeyy Hi, yes still have the V10, use it every day. - Maintenance wise, servo oil line hat a leak, but that was cheap to replace, otherwise no mechanical issues. - Millek exhaust system is fantastic (check my videos). - Sure, it drinks liquid dinosaurs like there is no tomorrow, but hey, when every drive is an event, I'm fine. - All in all a great bargain. A lot of car for not much money.
@@lipadier Hi, do you still own the car? If so has it created any issues?
@@oktob1r No, I've sold the Audi, at the end of April 2023, (after two years of ownership) and replaced it with a (wait for it)... Renault Twizy. 😄 - The Audi was great, and there was no reason to sell othen than I had no use for it anymore because I work quit close to home now. = Short commuting isn't the right thing for a 5.2L V10, the little electric Twizy is perfect for that.
@@lipadier commuting with a small ev after years of 5.2 v10 ownership😬😬😬 it was definitely sensible to sell it though, as it gets more and more expensive to maintain a big engine
Could u plz make a review for an e39 butter than that old one ..
You should do an infiniti fx-qx70👍🏼
Can you do Range Rover Evoque? They say 2.2 diesel put in it and Freelander 2 is one of the best engines put in Land rovers.
please upload a video on bentley muslane
Can you please review Mercedes Benz E Class Coupe (C124) from 1995
Hello, can you make a mercedes vito buyer advice video?
Heater Valves are easily unstuck with cleaning. Take it apart and play with it.
Can you please review Toyota RAV4 III from 2006?
can any one tell about the05 Xterra

7:17 WTH 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭 u should be a comedian Tavarish
Hi guys, I need vent and fog lights for this car (Audi S6 2007)
Please honda accord 2009-2013
Hey Boss, what is your actual car
do porche 997 or cayman 987 pls
Can you do the audi rs6 c5
10/10
Hey can you make a video which cars are reliable?
The v10 is. But the s6 v8 4.2 litre twin turbo is fucking savage . And bullet proof.
So there is one for sale near me that just had the injectors, plugs, coil packs, all gaskets including valve covers, and intake manifold replaced with a more reliable after market one. Also just had a carbon clean.
just to be accurate, you cannot replace OEM intake manifold with after market one to S6 or S8. Lot of things can be but this one not. I've dealt with this issue with S8 previously and I had to study the topic quite in detail. This video says at it is - you'd have two choice: by a new one (which is expensive) or try your luck with the second hand one. The first option is the preferred one, I'm afraid.
@@juhamakinen4715 yea sorry I didn't read the add properly. The guy removed the port seperators and installed a spacer for the manifold.
@@juhamakinen4715 actually you can its JHM intake manifold
The seller calaims that he had replaced lots of stuff, and now he is selling the car. Classic. xD
Pierburg produes intake mainfolds for S6/S8 for afordable price, is this an alternative to an expensive OEM?
I think I'll just buy a corolla the same color as an Audi
Like Scotty kilmer will say buy a 94 Celica
How much 2006
You are romanian? (Accentul pare cunoscut)
Well for me he sound like an india guy.
Lol remove the engine to replace one of 8 o2 sensors that will inevitably fail.
Can You make: Buying a used Infiniti FX ?
buy something else
@@annomymousful Why?
So basically it's a money pit?
To summarize, don't buy an audi v10 and buy a r35 gtr
After watching the V10 horror story, a Toyota Corolla looks better & better...
Lol what do you just compare? Excavator to shovel?
If you get a Corolla or Camry make sure it's a recent year model. I had an older Camry from like 07-11 rear end my SUV at only 30 miles an hour. Completely totaled it. Engine started to protrude into the driver area and started to jab into the legs of the poor girl that was driving it. Get one that's from at least like 2015 or something.
So it's rather not a good first car😂
Sad because it's one of the few sub 10000 euro v10s.
not a single sub 10000 v10 is gonna be a good ANY car first or last dude.
111
Thank you for making sure that I did not buy this pile of garbage
I was about to buy one. Been looking at them since the prices are pretty cheap. I'll probably spend more in maintaining it than the car is worth.
@@Long-nd8bq Yes, I found one cheap in Denmark, but omg the costs of running this thing is not worth it at all. Very sad!
@@danielfl.9347 I just bought one, kinda scared now if I will afford to actually use it...
@@bollenjr Hurry and sell it. I don't think any car is worth this pain unless you can do it yourself
Endless money pit #ScottyKilmer
V10 no thank you i will stay with my 3.0 tdi.
Disgusting
@@BigBagOfFrikenAirFak Yeah the 3.0 tdi is disgusting.
ok i fucked up
Sooo, engine is bad, suspension is not that great, chassis can rust as well. Only good things are gearbox and interior. No thanks. I mean, thanks for the video, but when it comes to the car, I'll pass.
to be honest, this issues happens when the owner doesn't maintain it as it should be maintained. Also as You can see on the auctions they made much more than 200k km and still are pretty good cars. It's a V10 car, not a r4 diesel, and comparing to other V10s like M5 it's cheap AF.
@@Nayakazuyo well, V10 fans don't have it easy, E60 M5 is notoriously unreliable too. It's kinda sad, both BMW and Audi made bulletproof cars in the 90s and early 2000s. I'm still on Audi formus, as I have owned two Audis, reading about problems in the new A6 C8 left me speechless. Some people have problems with closing the doors (they sag), but after fixing sagging doors in authorized Audi service people hear and FEEL the wind coming through door seals. Panel gaps are so uneven that the car looks like it was in a wreck at some point. Electronics has a mind on its own, it can even open the boot during the night completely by itself. I know I wandered off the topic, but seeing once my favourite car maker turn to shit makes me angry at them. That's not premium quality, not for this price. Regular A6 C6 is fine though if you take care of it, as you said.
Engine is great actually. Depends on maintenance. Technically it's the more reliable option of the V10 sedans (by a large margin). The suspension is great and not meant to be comfortable. Most owners replace their dampers with Blistein HDs and then the car can hang with most of the smaller euro coupes on a race track (road course). Chassis rust, very rare and also comes down to owner maintenance.
