This is another incredibly valuable video for all A6 C6 owners. Thank you!

Thanks Very much. Your knowledge is so much appreciated. I just got my Audi Q5 2010 with 180,000 miles. The Catholic church account lady took very good care of. She not like us men, she never floor it. Ha ha. Best wishes from Seattle Washington USA 💙 God bless.

Thank you so much for your kind comment and thank you even more for your super thanks! I am grateful!!! Take good care of that Q5. The 3.2 FSI engine is special and very tough. All it requires is regular oil and filter changes. After the 3.2, no other 6-cylinder engine from Audi has been this good. Welcome to the 3.2 FSI quattro world!!!

This brotha is a genius! I hot a check engine light and this is the problem. I'm tempted to try this. You make it look easy (lol) but you obviously have years of experience and a wealth of knowledge. You're videos are always on point and I appreciate how you explain it so we mere mortals can understand it. keep up the good work and thanks for another excellent video. ✌🏽

16:20 If I ever need to do this... I'll probably drill a tiny hole and screw in a small screw. But thanks for the tip! Seeing you fixing it with a piece of wire broad me back childhood memories... My grandparents were living in the countryside and wires was the only thing around.

Don't you worry the screw may come out later? It shouldn't be too tight as the two pieces need to freely rotate, one around the other. A screw would be inappropriate.

Hey brother I hope you’re well. My intake manifold are opening and closing perfectly fine, however, for some reason fault code comes up stuck closed bank 1, & 2. Any suggestions?

Great video, would this be the same procedure for the A8 4.2 8 cylinder?

Thanks! I think the 4.2 has a slightly different setup but the concept is still the same.

Your videos are soo amazing! Thank you so much! I have the exact car and similar issue where it misfires, shakes, and doest go above 4000rpm. However it returned codes: p2296, p0171, p0174, p0087. I am curious if you had to work with these codes before, and is it possible that the same fix you display here will help to solve the issue I have? Or it could be something else?

@ThatAfricanGuy

I just looked your codes up and the result is you have fuel pressure issues. I would suggest you start with replacing your fuel filter then drive the car for a few hundred miles to see if there's any improvement. When was the last time you replaced your fuel filter?

Hey brother. I was thinking about an easy/cheap fix for the plastic flap instead of buying a new entire lower intake manifold assembly because its just the two pieces disconnecting. Anyways, I was thinking that I will be going to use some plastic bonding agents and permanent fix them together. Without having to take everything apart

If you are planning to purchase a brand new one, it is expensive but is the best thing to do if you can afford it. If you can't afford a brand new piece, don't buy a used one because it will have the same issues. Just fix yours in that case.

I tried to find the right numbers for all of the cilinders.Cant find it anywhere. Do you know the right numbers from 1 -6. I really want to know because my OBD gave me a code for a cilinder...hard if you dont know the right cilinder. Thanks, for this great video, again !

Sure! When "facing the engine from the outside", you have bank 1 on your left and bank 2 on your right. On bank 1, from the front of the engine to the back, you have cylinders 1, 2, 3. On bank 2, from the front of the engine to the back you have cylinders 4, 5, 6. Below is a clearer chart. 3 - 6 2 - 5 1 - 4

How about tie by cable tie instead of steel wire?

@ThatAfricanGuy

What kind of cable? If it could hold up, why not? I did not use a steel wire. It's a sort of mixture of aluminium with another material. It is flexible but strong and will not rust.

I just reseached the codes. P0010 reports a problem with bank 1 intake cam solenoid and P0020 reports a problem with bank 2 intake cam solenoid. Start with making sure their connections sit tight. It's the second and third ones I replaced in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aJiMj5dwl8SZmKg.html

Okay. Maybe you broke the connector tabs? It happened to some of mines too. To make them sit tight, apply a small piece of electric paper tape to the cam solenoid sockets end or on the connectors end to make them thicker. The connector will then sit tight. It's what I did.

Hi both of my runners are stuck over I bought both of the intake manifold runners brand new from the dealership and the check engine light is still on at the install. Do you have any advice because I don’t know what to do and neither does my Mechanic.

Sorry about that. Can you have the mechanic scan the engine with a scanner and come back with the codes and descriptions returned? This is how you can find out why the check engine light is still on.
