Audi engineers must have had an in-house competition to see who could come up with the most absurd retention device imaginable.

Nope, you can thank CARB (California Air Resource Board) for this one. The made Audi do this to meet the at the time new CARB rules

@@mydimeisup5103 typical CA BS. They make everything that gets imported the the States worse. Meanwhile they can't keep poop and needles off the sidewalks, but God forbid your car runs a little lean.

thanks for good technique It's a very useful approach.

Older post, but wanted to say..genius..! I sprayed with silicone quick dry and actually inserted from the top of the clips...but thanks for the tip..!!!

Just hit 120k miles on my 2012 S4. There's indeed some absurd fastener choices. About ready to do this job. Great video. Keep it up!

Glad it was helpful!

I have an older Audi and cannot find a needed replacement. I have read it is not wise to replace with anything but these plastic hoses. But being I just cannot find one is there any type of hose I can replace it with that can withstand the vacuum, heat etc? Thanks

I have learned a lot from you thanks

Glad to hear it!

Should have been a surgeon. Those are so delicate, I’m shocked you didn’t break it.

Bro a million and one thanks

I’d like to know what’s the part number for the crank case breather hoses. I accidentally broke the passenger side one in a way that it’s unusable.

amazing, i own a 2010 s5 v8

3:55 No truer words have ever been spoken!🤬

I was watching this and chewing my lips with anxiety. I have to do replace my gasket and I've been debating trying to remove these hoses or not. I think I might try them now.

Audi sta facendo molte cose economiche e di. Bassa qualità....nei vecchi modelli degli anni 2000 erano capolavori di qualità costruttiva

Bro this is just playing kings cup with a clip, easyyyy

Completely different breather hose clips on my New Zealand 2010 Audi s4 b8 - mine you just pinch in on 2 opposing sides and it opens enough to slide off. I did notice on the Audi Manual you showed it seems to only be on the USA versions, could be something to do with the USAs super strict "environmental" laws in an attempt to prevent owners just disconnecting them and venting into the atmosphere to prevent the dreaded carbon build up on the backside of the valves.

Ridiculous, you have to be gentle, yet pull hard at the same time. I broke the clip in one section, but I got lucky since it was still able to lock in with 3 teeth and it stays on.

Plastic junk, like paying $18 month for heated seats...
