Thanks for the video man. I've been considering an A6 so this is good info

I have a 2015 S7 with 24k miles on it. I knew there was some sort of issue that could come up with the turbos, but I'm glad that you actually explained what the problem is a little more. I'm going to take my S7 in and make sure the oil screen is the updated design, so that I don't have to worry about getting new turbos.

Very informative video as always... please keep up the great 👍 work and updates especially with your Audi RS7 & it's faults/service costs..

This is why I’d only lease an Audi if I had to have one. There is a symphony of technology and engineering going on under the hood which is amazing. Unfortunately, if one thing is off the whole orchestra crashes.

Learned my lesson with an A5. Being young and dumb i took it to the dealership for service. A check engine code had popped up and the dealer quoted me 3500 to replace injectors because 3 of them were leaking. That sounded odd to me so I decided to take it to a local shop that worked on german performance cars. Out of curiosity i looked at the inspection sheet to see what i had paid 200 bucks for. Turns out Audi charges .2 hours of labor for "tire removal". In short they charged me 45 bucks to take off tires. That was when the lightbulb went on. Sold the car and will never look back.

When I first got my RS7, the brakes were stupidly loud right during low speed braking. It calmed down quite a bit. My oil light came on quite frequently (roughly every 1500-2000 miles) so I basically started doing what you said: changing it more frequently. So far so good. Getting near the end of warranty, so definitely don't want things to go sideways.

I remember commenting on the last RS you had that I wish you'd got a 7. Good to see!

Hey Eddie! Love the video. I did a ton of research on the RS7 because I was originally considering getting one but not sure atm. Was just on Audizine checking for you and some people had great luck with going on eBay and getting the RS7 Front rotors and pads new. I just found front rotors and pads for $1,129.92 on eBay which is quite a deal and could really save you some dough especially if you get it put on by a 3rd party. Just a suggestion. Hopefully you find another way not to spend $5k on brakes! That’s just crazy for such a low mileage car if it hasn’t been abused. I guess it really comes down to weight. Nonetheless, look forward to hearing what you’re going to do! Cheers 🥂

If you have you rotors turned (machined) they will not squeal anymore. You can also manually skuff the rotors gently and squeal will stop usually. Hard use on a heavy car like that “glaze” the rotors and if they are super shinny you can try this before spending money unnecessarily.

At 6mm, brake pads are practically new given that they start at around 8mm and the low limit is about 2. Brakes get noisy if they have been overheated and glazed. The pads are then easy to fix by removing them and runing a fine course sand paper on them a few times to deglaze. The rotors are usually fine, unless they have been blued by heat or turned to mirror glaze. If they have been damaged, they need replacing. But same deal with rotors. A service limit of .4 and being at .8 is practically still mid life.

Bro, he hardly holds the door for her...

EddieX - 3 quick tips...and a question. 1.) Ordering the same Audi parts/part numbers from Porsche will save you about 1/2, but they're not all available. The A7/S7/RS7 shares many suspension and steering parts with the Macan chassis. I actually recommend FCP Euro over ECS because they're a bit cheaper and they ship MUCH faster with less hassle if you need to return. FCP also stocks Lemforder (which is just genuine Audi overstock). For part numbers, find a 'source' for ETKA. This is a must since you'll want the most recent part revisions and there are tons of variations. 2.) Watch the front bearings. The stock ones are pretty soft metal and a decent midwestern pothole will kill them (from spalling). There's a TSB about premature failure on this chassis and it sounds like a grinding noise that'll get louder every 200 miles or so. SKF makes a direct replacement and I'd consider them the best. 3.) Open an erWin account on erwin.audiusa.com. For $35/day, you can download ALL the repair instructions and TSBs in PDF format with torque values. Brakes are super easy. ...you just need a 21mm socket and a longer breaker bar because the torque values are pretty high. (Just a FYI, you can do most things on this car with a basic metric socket set of 10mm to 21mm and a triple square set. Snap-On's FRDHM21 is also perfect for most of the suspension nuts.) Question: I just did a full rebuild of my suspension with Koni's Special Active's on my A7 TDI, coming from a BMW 750i with Dynamic Drive and missing BMW's handling and steering feel. How do you like the RS7 handling/steering, especially compared to your last cars? I was considering retrofitting Active Steering, but not sure if it's worth it. My steering feels so so numb and the turn-in feels slow, so I'm trying to mod this.

@EddieX

Wow, appreciate the insight and advice, I will look into what you are talking about I personally dont like the "dynamic" or "Active steering" systems, they are weirdly non-linear in some instances. RS7 steering is fine in dynamic mode, given that its a large luxury sedan. My S4 was better, as was the R8. I did not buy this car for handling, so I expected it to be a bit more on the numb side.

Have a S6 and getting rid of it after both turbos died at the tail end of an extended warranty. Wouldd have been $10k if the warranty hadn't covered. Buying a Tesla Model 3 performance!

I have put Ebay (not kidding) rotors on my s8 and rs5 and have had ZERO issues. I also got ceramic pads from Ebay and they are absolutely more quiet and less dust than OEM. Total for all 4 rotors and all pads, including hardware and sensors, under 400 bucks.

Hey Eddie, did you do a PPI before you bought the car? Did the dealership disclose this to you as you were buying it? Seems kind of shady considering you just bought the car from them as they sold you a car with bare minimum specs brakes. I would’ve negotiated and discounted the brake job from the asking price. I say this because the dealership didn’t tell you about the cracked front diffuser either, right? Also did you get the service records? Seems kind of odd that the original owner would buy the maintenance plan and not use any of it. I mean isn’t that like $1000 extra? Also how do you use your plan up if it’s at 10K mile service intervals and you want to do it at 5K mile intervals? I got my BMW just before they got rid of the free 4 year included maintenance and they would not let you use the oil change credit if it was more than 1000 miles of the scheduled mileage. It was called conditioned based service. So if you drive 5K miles per year you get your oil change in 2 years. Also you mentioned you bought the brake pads from Advance Auto Parts. For the RS 7? And is the Service Department willing to do the service for labor only? Just curious. Sorry for all the questions! Loved the cold start BTW!

The vehicle should have required the additional alignment. The rear toe angles were adjusted on the alignment spec sheet. When the thrust angle is changed the radars and camera should be adjusted. Your HUD is not failed. Look at the right lower corner of the windshield. If it does not have the Audi logo it's likely not a HUD specific glass. The HUD glass has a concave layer built into the glass that is not easily seen. It could have also bee replaced with an OEM glass but not the right part number. Also keep in mind that Audicare expires one year after the warranty expiration and if you are not the original owner Audi does not like to extend the expiration date.

Did they really worked on your car or reset it? Dealers ripped off.

@@amgnaciri5937 I think most of 2014 and up W212 sold with the facelift were the S varrients the E63-S models had a higher boost stock heee 12 psi and with increased boost it was 14 pai and they're 4matic within 70back and 30 front split. Myncar has been rock solid 0 issues. however. Ride quality comfort, handeling andnroad noise are the only 3 areas where it couldn't been better.

Arabiantxn get cls63s, it has better handling and everything else the same. Facelift for cls63 was in 2015, same facelift as e63. Also it looks much nicer.

What gets me - how are you getting a projected 415 miles out of the tank? Are you driving this car like your grandma or is there a massive fuel tank?

I am thinking about getting an rs6 when they bring it and i was wondering the same thing and Brakes will the most expensive service. Luckily when i spec my rs6 i will get carbon ceramic options.

Good luck down the road you will spend maintenance same amount you got the car for , Enjoy!

The trade off.. expenses for maintaining the vehicle: nice loaner vehicle. Not to mention the gas for that 4.0. Typically they could align or reset steering degree.. We have same rims and noticed they don’t like road imperfections.

I have an o5.5 A4 and have changed the oil every 5k never at 10k also due to the cam follower issues which I check every 5k and change out every 10k regardless of condition.

And here I am thinking that my GTI oil chance at the dealer was high. For that much money I could do a ton of mods and still have enough to spare for rims.

Jabari more money in your pocket and maybe a Rolex or two.

Got new OEM break job on all four breaks for my S7 and they still squeak like a garbage truck is coming.

I wonder what Dave Ramsey would have to say about this video 🤣🤣

I would get a extended warranty, if possible lol any stage 2 plans ?

It doesnt triple the labour to calibrate sensors lmao. Adjusting the toe to fix your steering will take all of 20 minutes and a quick scan tool calibration will reset the lane keep assist. They're telling you its 3 hours labor for 45 minutes of work lol

You bought the car new? Used? Or it was restored?

A dying moneypit breed! My Genesis G80 had a chipped windshield , and Safelite changed it out, and fortunately they were trained to recalibrate the adaptive cruise camera , and sensors. My Tesla 3PD coming from a Hellcat is a maintenance free dream lol. I love the RS7 but not the $ for parts and labor, been there ...done that!

My friend got some performance rear rotors and pads on his M4 is was like 2300 or something and they squeak SO LOUD like worse than a big garbage truck lol

Where they carbon ceramic ones? They can Def get noisy. Mine are just regular steel

i find many mechanics at majority of audi dealers are unexperienced.

Is there a fix then for the filter issue with the Turbos? I have a 16 S6 still under CPO warranty but that is definitely a concern of mine

You can perform the update without the new turbos or vacuum units. If you do, replace the breather/oil separator when doing it because it is a common failure point. Not so much on the later years but good maint when apart.

Audi’s are beautiful. But, they are expensive to own. Thanks for sharing

Did the windows have the deep clean ? After all that Das Audi Auto window(tinted) licking .....

Tire changes, air filter change, cabin filter changes, spark plugs changed, oil change all for 200$ thanks to my brother. He works at mercedes, but I still took my 2012 650i to him even though I got "free" maintenance at bmw left on my car (you only pay for material) I probably still would have paid over 1k at bmw You pay thrice the price of materials and x10 for labor in your standard garages.

My RS7 got the ACC and braking guard unavailable problem too, and also there is a problem alignment and stuff, they told me it’s gonna cost around 4K to deal with these problems

calvin feng ACC unavailable happens when the radar beam is distorted, not always an issue. Mine goes when In a particular tunnel going round a bend, the concrete bounces the radar the wrong way, the sensor doesn’t pick it up and it triggers the code but then resets itself. Alignment on these is easy, find an independent with a Hunter laser alignment setup

Did you know at the time of purchasing the car that the breaks were wearing? The reason I ask is because I would like to gage about how long would those expensive brakes would last under normal usage..

These aren’t ceramic brakes are they?

They got a lifetime replacement program that is crazy!!

For alignment - you shouldn't need to calibrate any sensors unless technician turns off vehicle while doing alignment. If car is running - it should calibrate itself.

My RS7 has been in service for over a week now Audi Henderson also gave me a Q7 loaner it sucks stepping down my total service cost was $12,890 lol
