Hey charles! Love the content even if it doesnt apply to me. You always make entertaining videos and i learn something from you. Just want to say thank you!
@@MycketTuff No some people only replace the filter and change the oil once, while he changed the oil until it ran "clear" and cleaned the oil pan 2X of the residue.
Ok Charles, here's one for ya. 2006 Honda Ridgeline. The oil cooler/ radiator cracked and antifreeze into the oil. Replaced radiator..So, the system was drained and we added water and a dawn dish washing liquid, did that eight times cooling system .. obviously and a few oil changes with sea foam and refilled with factory authorized VW coolant (kidding) and sent it..i understand that this is Audi VW show but guess what.. the pistons go up and down, the wheels go round and round... you're a good teacher by the way. I wonder if there is a way known to man to re-engineer the pcv system on that engine?
"Better call Paul" - pretty catchy. He should use that as a slogan. :) And - btw. - I'd have done exactly as you did, C. I would perhaps, just out of curiosity, send the last flush sample to be analyzed too see how much coolant remained - if any.
Thank you Charles! Same problem with my daughters Audi q5 and replaced the PCV...working like a champ. Made me look like a master mechanic to my family. ha
Charles, you just broke my world! I've done probably 15-20 oil changes with LiquiMoly and I never realized there was an oil change sticker ON THE BOTTLE. I'm so mad at myself for never noticing this. How could you do this to me?
Huh I never noticed either. But I do 5k intervals on my ‘19R so it’s hard to keep track… unfortunately my alternator last month failed 1000 miles out of warranty, and it gave my its first epc & cel last week… suspecting injectors 🤦♂️ I also went eqt stage 1 right after my warranty ended so no chance of getting either of those covered anymore…
1.9 tdi PD. This engine got me mad years ago (and still), the fker mixed drop by drop the oil in the coolant system passing throught the head gasket, the coolant was fine but after some months the coolant looks really bad. What a pain in the ass, amazing engine, amazing troubles...
Of course it was the right course of action what you did. No need for opening up an engine if that process fixes it and it was the pcv that caused all of this..
Milkshake is not what you want to see in an audi. I picked up a B6 A4 1.8t 5 speed with some good performance goodies that had a blown timing belt for super cheap. Made the mistake of getting a "tested" head on ebay. When got it I knew I should have taken it to the machine shop to test it all myself instead of just believing this place but I didn't. Ran great but after it got warmed up oil and coolant mixed very quickly. I thought maybe it was possibly my doing so I did it all over again triple checking everything with a better brand head gasket. Same thing. When it got warmed up... boom immediate mixture. Finally took it in to the machine shop and of course cyclinder 3 on the head had a crack and when it got warm it was expanding and mixing. I was pretty upset to say the least. It's a good thing I was constantly checking oil and I caught everything quick. With a proper rebuilt head and a few flushes it was good to go. But you just know even running 30 sec with coolant in it has some consequences. I'd say it just depends how long he was driving it after that coolant light hit. Awesome how a failed pvc can lead to total engine failure. Way to be Audi.
Awesome video yet again from the one and only Humble mechanic 👌 Reminds me or how I like to treat the inside of my engine and customer's when servicing, I'll always change oil first before using a flush (if the engine oil is too old or feels physically garbage) Then it's the safest way to thoroughly flush the engine without much risk of further damage.. Liqui MOLY for the win 💪 I use their flush, conditioner and fuel treatments, I also use LUCAS oil treatments and BG products 👌 Love the attention to detail in all your videos thankyou for the content Much 💜 from the UK
You could have easily keep the flush for an hour or so and rev it up to around 3000rpm for 20-30 seconds every once in a while, I usually do that when changing the engine oil and it may clean the engine better than just 10 minutes of idling. There are also "long life" engine flushes available where you can drive a car reasonably for 30-50 kilometres before replacing the oil, that would've been great for this particular engine imo.
Liquimoly states to idle and not rev or drive. You don’t want the crude being knocked off to circulate at a elevated rpm to score the internal as the crap coming off is abrasive. Keep wrenching my friend.
@@TooBlessedToStress88 yeah Archoil states NOT to drive your car, yet their technician says you can drive no worries for around 50km, it's just a fail safe for the company
I was looking into a b8 s4 and thanks to this and your recent video on this I know about the pcv coolant issue (all euro pcv is shit) informative video! Meeting you in person and seeing your vids after it’s crazy how you’re the same person 🤣
This is among my top 5% channels, I just wish you'd do more builds, tying together the knowledge-oriented content you produce. Sure I can go somewhere else for VAG builds but lose out on your personality doing so
An alternative I learned from growing up on the farm fill the engine all the way up with diesel instead of oil and leave the cap open overnight and Then drain it What I mean by all the way up is literally all the way up to the cap and do not start the engine like that
I'm starting engineering at university in a couple of weeks. My Goal is to work somewhere at VAG (and convince engineers to use less plastic in engines lol)
To save money in a similar situation I've taken the oil out of other cars present to use for a flush. Those cars get an oil change and I don't feel like I'm totally wasting fresh oil.
Great video. I like the joke about reading the directions for the LIQUI MOLY engine flush. There aren't any. Not even an indication that it goes in the oil hole and not the gas hole. I like their stuff. Just think it's funny they don't put any directions on how to use it on the can.
Awesome video as usual! But oh man, you should make that outro like a meme or something: "Just a little noise from the timing chain! it's fine!". At least the mazdaspeed community will cheer in some sort of planetary chorus at fixed hours every day for several months in a row :)
It would be good to mention that the other 4 bolts for the oil cooler (besides the one that goes into the pan) are aluminum and will break the head off extremely easily if they are over torqued.
My oil looks like after 2nd and 3rd flush, after doing a headgasket? It was the first load of oil since fixing the issue, is coolant still entering oil,
Hy! that water was comming from somewere maybe on hy tempereture that mean that the cylider gasket may be damage or gas cooler gasket or gascooler itself
I worked in fire sprinklers a while as a younger guy since my step dad owned a plumbing company. Engineers loved to try and shove steel sprinkler pipes through steel HVAC ducting all the time. Looks good on paper right? It would be a great world if every piece of machinery had to be disassembled and put back together by the engineers before it goes into production.

Hello Charles, I have an Audi q7 with the 3.0TFSI engine. There is coolant inside my engine. However, the coolant-oil mixture hasn't circulated through the radiator to the expansion tank. I have checked the oil cooler and I can't find the oil-coolant mixture. I am suspecting my coolant pump to be bad. Could this be a head gasket that is blown? How do I know the bank of the head gasket that is blown if that's the cause of the milky mixture? What else should I check before attempting the head gasket. Many thanks.

I did reuse my autotech hpfp internals on the new pump then put it back to stock but it made no difference. Gas is mixing with my oil. Any advise on what to check?
Well, I did not have this specific issue, but I got a low oil pressure on my Audi A4 2.0 TFSI four days after I bought it, that was a bummer, and I was so close to my house and decided to drive the last few hundred meters, lucky only the turbo died, and judging by the amount of oil in the intercooler it was already in bad shape so I guess it's not a big deal. but yeah, the oil pickup was full of gunk causing the low oil pressure. It was a pain in the as to take off the oil pan, I had never struggled so hard taking an oil pan off a car before. It's up and running now and I been driving it for a few months, but it had 273K Kilometers on it and I did not pull the whole engine apart, I just put a new turbo on and tried it. But it uses a lot of oil, both before and after the turbo change. I don't know if flushing can help with that.
Hi Charles, I have a similar problem on a VW Passat B7 the thing is that the oil cap didnt have mayonnaise lol (coolant mixed with oil) and so neither the dipstick.

man I have a question for you about chain deviation in 3.0T CAJ. I am logging 12 KW degrees on one bank and I believe 10 in the other one. This is clearly a problem with the timing of the chains. I do have the service manual (PDF) but the: "how to put the engine on time after losing time" section is not there. Can you please help me?
I've been watching your videos for years. You are amazing. Unfortunately, my daughter added power steering fluid (ATF) to the coolant reservoir of her 2015 Tiguan and drove a few weeks. Any recommendations besides flushing several times with distilled water?
I have a question that stumps me, how and why is your oil and the water smoothly mixing without re-identifying as frothy milk or curd chunks blocking the internal jacket and heater core?
@@HumbleMechanic thanks sorry I missed the part about it being a one way breech, but I had to look at the oil again because it looked like fuel flooded past the piston rings, but even that was a better viscosity than fuel logged oil. I am also having a bit of difficulty with trying to figure out how it could happen with modern management and intact block, but I really want to know what caused it to blend as well as it was.
I think the engine will be fine if you flush it out good enough. Modern engines can take a lot of abuse & continue working. I think it being slightly older has helped it.
Charles totally off subject, but I noticed you have LiquiMoly banners up and what not, as far as 508 oils are concerned, which one do you like the best and why? Just curious from a VW mechanics point of view. Thanks 👍
I will say short answer is yes you can save it...but long answer is if a gasket or a designed point of failure like a freeze plug it is not very terrible, but it is not always the go-to failure and then you have to ask yourself... "I believe I have the willpower to do this, but does my bank account?" Is it worth it again?
the manufacturer could add a sensor to the oil pan that can tell if there is water in oil. Basically water conducts electricity so if you measure reduce resistance between two electrodes at cold start it means water in the oil pan. the thing is by the time risk of a failed head gasket starts to increase the car is already too old and manufacturer would like you to buy a new car.

Is it more worth to upgrade the pcv system than putting oem parts
Great question. I didn't really search too deep for a PCV upgrade. But if there is one, probs worth it
🤦♂️ I've been using Liqui Moly in my 944 and never realized that they had a oil change sticker right on the bottle 😂 genius
4:27 Cranking sounds good so that’s a good sign….
I have a question that stumps me, how and why is your oil and the water smoothly mixing without re-identifying as frothy milk or curd chunks blocking the internal jacket and heater core?
it won't in the HC because there was no oil in the coolant, it was coolant in the oil. But Im with ya, it was like permanently mixed.
@@HumbleMechanic thanks sorry I missed the part about it being a one way breech, but I had to look at the oil again because it looked like fuel flooded past the piston rings, but even that was a better viscosity than fuel logged oil. I am also having a bit of difficulty with trying to figure out how it could happen with modern management and intact block, but I really want to know what caused it to blend as well as it was.
Can the coolant passages inside the PCV valve be plugged up to avoid coolant intrusion?
You’d have to reroute coolant I’d assume
I feel that if you don't check every other possibility before the headgasket.. its gonna be the headgasket 100%. Idk why
I think the engine will be fine if you flush it out good enough. Modern engines can take a lot of abuse & continue working. I think it being slightly older has helped it.
How reasonable is it to work ob Audi cars? I'm planning on purchasing a 2017 - 2018 RS7 or S8 and would like to do some of the maintenence on my own
Basic maintenance can be challenging on the RS cars. Not hard, but not super easy. Look up some diys on it before starting
Wouldn't it be worth checking the head gasket though if it was that it might be I think
What rims are those?

I will say short answer is yes you can save it...but long answer is if a gasket or a designed point of failure like a freeze plug it is not very terrible, but it is not always the go-to failure and then you have to ask yourself...

Why does my toyota not make the same choclate mix?
If there were pumpkin spice oil maybe I could get my wife to do her oil changes. 😂
Really not the subject of the video but nice wheels, what is the make/model?
I’m scared!!! Can this happen to a 2.0 t b8/8.5 engine 2009
It can, but I haven't seen it too often.
Nah youre safe. Well "safe" the 2.0ts have their own list of issues. LOL
the manufacturer could add a sensor to the oil pan that can tell if there is water in oil. Basically water conducts electricity so if you measure reduce resistance between two electrodes at cold start it means water in the oil pan. the thing is by the time risk of a failed head gasket starts to increase the car is already too old and manufacturer would like you to buy a new car.
