Only clicked because I thought it said “worst Cam girls in existence “ easy mistake to make ..

Wrong oil gets put in the R5 2.5. Pre 2007 requires a 0W30 A5/B5 (VW506.01)Most people just chuck in a 5W30 C3 (504/507)which has less extreme pressure additives due to the nature of being a low saps product. This in turn causes extreme wear on the cam lobes. Just my 5pence worth

I’ll never forget the disappointment of having my old 2.5 cam and followers done, seeing how badly worn it was and it making zero difference to performance 😂

I’m surprised that all that missing metal from the cam and followers has been circulating round the engine and not knackered everything else! Is the filtration system that good that it’s managed to take it all and stop it from ruining the whole engine?? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Those lifters looked like HEMI pistons 😂

Admittedly, that's a sign of poor material quality. But it also looks like not enough oil changes and especially the wrong oil/cheap oil

Funny how on last video from you guys there were folks defending 2.5 as the awesome engine and cams being “good”. 😂 😂😂

I'd love to see how You manage Volvo D4/D5 (don't remember which ones were bad) from XC90. They were supposed to have like 170/180hp, but due to valves those can do like 130hp. And You can hear how compression goes back to intake

Race cams 😂

This bay can fit 5 litre V10 also

My 2.5 Touareg is close to 300.000km (around 190.000 Miles). I think the Engine (besides having a bit of a lack of power) is quite a longrunner.

Finally you are touching the 2.5 thank youuuuu

Is right, great videos and great to see another good car back on the road and back to it's best, the amount of time's cars end up scrapped because of some work needed to remedy a couple of issues, is heartbreaking to me.

Im finding it difficult to even get a garage to look at my t5 2.5 now😢

great work love these type of videos 👍👍

Great video as always. Helps this guy is easy on the eye too 🤭

😮😮 i always thought the 5 cylinder engines only came in the really old audis and transporters i always though the 2.5s in the touregs were the 2.5 v6s that used to be in the a6s and passats. Well you learn something new everyday 😂

I almost bought one of these a few weeks ago, was on the hunt for a bigger, taller car and the garage I went to had a 2.5 toureg and a 3.0L X3. I got the X3 in the end....it's now in bits on my driveway! Lol

Good old vw chocolate cams.. 😒

Lack of lubricant and long oil change intervals. Ivé had several PD´s with well over 300kkm on the same cam. They suffer the same with bad oil
