The oil dipstick pull ring breaks because it's made of plastic, the overflow hose that runs from the coolant bucket to the radiator, the little nipple that fits snug inside the hose to then connect to the radiator goes bad. What a problem to have. If you didn't know any better you would go to Audi and buy the hose with the clamps and think it's a 10 min job. WRONG. The flex pipe cracks like every 2-3 years no matter what you do.

Great video! I've basically done all of these fixes on my Audi A4 B7. They are honestly pretty cheap and cheap to diy. The coolant flange is a PITA for sure. The AC issues are usually the internal servos failing to turn the car to recirc. AC will only work like 80 and below. After parking it's bad. That's because it sucks in super hot air from the front instead of inside the car. You just have to pull the motors off the flaps and spin them a few times. Ac fixed!

Great vid, I have done most of these fixes, currently I keep carbon fouling plugs. I replaced coil packs with the red bosch from ECS. would getting a hotter spark plug fix it? Do you think the injectors are bad? I would like to do carbon clean up on intake, do you have video for this? The car has 113k on it. Also maybe change the the fuel filter/pressure regulator? All the plugs carbon foul, then car stalls, Im getting misfiring and running rich codes. What do you think?

I have 104k and have done the timing belt with water pump, a couple of the ones you mentioned. Recently the ac compressor failed and have to replace that but fall is here so no hurry with that now. The plastic coolant hose on the back side of the engine concerns me after watching this. The cam follower for the fuel pump is a must do and will do again in 50k more miles.

Your videos are really well done and easy to follow. Thank you for taking the time. My Audi A4 B7 consumes a lot of oil. I have also heard that these cars are notorious for oil consumption. For a long time I was having to replenish the oil every 800-1000 miles. Then at some point it dropped to less than 500 miles to a quart. When I noticed that the VCG was leaking oil onto the engine and into spark plug wells. I managed to successfully change them thanks to your video. However I sense the car is still burning oil than when I first got the car a few years back and wondering if it might be connected to a faulty turbo seal. the car is not throwing up any error codes. However, the other day I was getting on the highway and the car felt like it was having a slight hesitation around 2k rpm for a few seconds. then I saw a spew of grey smoke and noticeable smell in the cabin . Then all clear and car was driving fine after that. It's happened a few times. Almost like some kind of a buildup that needs to release every once in a while. There is a hole in the muffler which I plan on fixing. if this was a sign of a turbo going bad should I expect an error code?

However, if you've experienced ever-increasing oil consumption over time, check for cracks in the valve cover itself. Especially, along the edge near the PCV valve outlet. That was my issue and restored my oil consumption issue back above the "normal" range.

High mileage engines to me is 200,000 miles. But I work on cars, so maybe that's too high for someone who doesn't know how to fix cars.

How long approximately is it for one to change both the valve cover gasket and oil filter housing? Looking to see how much time I need to give myself

A couple hours if you have the correct tools, I made step by step videos on how to replace both of those parts.

Question about the diverter valve ; does it surge for the first few kms on acceleration then go away once driven a little ? Just had the can follower and hpfp done on mine and was hoping that was the reason for the surging but it didnt go away
