I have this same year and also same color. My intake flaps are stuck closed (codes P2005 and P2007) and I've been quoted $2200 usd to replace the intake manifolds. I held off and now I can't pass emissions with active fault codes. I'm mechanically inclined so I'm tempted to this myself. Great video!
You definitely improved the performance of the car with all that carbon removal. After seeing how well the fuel dissolved the carbon, I’m wondering why people bother with walnut blasting. A paint brush and fuel seems to do the trick
Definitely! I would have loved to do the same on bank 2 but since it's my first time tearing this engine apart, I did not want to take the risk to do more than what's necessary to fix the PCV valve issue. This engine a very different from the previous ones with the additional Multi-Point Injection system. This is why the intake valves are still clean at such a high mileage and it's also why carbon was so soft and easy to clean off the divider plates and the lower intake flaps. The two 3.2 FSI engines and the older 3.0 TFSI engine would have hard carbon and would require blasting. This one does not even need the back of the valves to be cleaned.
@@Kokouvia aha, I see. I was wondering why it had so little carbon at over 200k km! Shame they can’t give those surfaces a coating which carbon won’t stick to.
hello, good morning, I have a car just like yours and I have the same problem regarding the butterflies that do not open well. Greetings and good video
@zakariasharhan8067 It's the thing on the right side of the intake manifold at 3:15 of this video that I am holding with the green glove. Bank 2 = Driver's side.
Thank you, watching videos like this has and will continue to save me lots of money and just make me smarter in general!
This bro is real mechanic
😅😅😅
I already did that, you deserve more brother.

Nice to see you again. And you have worn your gloves 👍
Yay!!! 😄

@@PVflying I think carbon would stick to anything hard with sustained heat😅

Hello. Is it the same car, 2016 Audi A7 3.0 TSFI quattro? How do you know that the butterflies do not open well? Can you describe your problem?
Hello brother, I hope you’re doing well. I need your help please 🙏🏼. Can you help me with locating the intake air temperature sensors for bank 1 & 2?
It's the MAP sensor at the back of the supercharger.

@@Kokouviathank you how about the intake manifold runner pos. Sen./switch circuit bank 2?

@@Kokouviagod bless you brother. Please, send me your PayPal so I can send you something.
Great job. Same stuff all over again as with the C6. You can do it blindfolded now. LOL.
How many miles on that engine?
Correct. Basically the same setup. 238,500 km that is 148,200 miles.
How much vacuum is needed to operate? Would a brake bleeder pump work?
I am not sure, but not too much. I used the fluid extractor I use to do oil changes.
Buen video
Thank you!
Good
