Something smells fishy about this one. The car has been on the road for 10 years, and 15,000 miles. Hundreds of operating hours. Comes in for an electric rack, a coil, and maybe a service. Suddenly, the oil pump goes on them too? Lots of extra talking, filler, and distractions. E.g. "I heard it was a rental", "Someone else has serviced the engine before, see these marks?" "Look at this broken bolt someone irresponsibly didn't replace" While Dave is sitting there going "uh-huh, yeah." At the end of the day, it's a VW product and they can fail. That said, that V10 has a pretty solid track-record for reliability. It may not be coincidence that this unrelated major failure occurred in these same moments under the care of these guys. I think Dave knows that too, but didn't want to put them on the spot like that. Rightfully so, as nothing is going to hurt them worse than the cost of what could be a mistake made by this little shop. As a technician myself, surprise failures while a car is under our care are almost always the result of someone being a human. Making a mistake or two along the way happens sometimes, as much as we try to focus. I messed a really big job when I was young and starting out, years ago. I'm sure it has happened to Dave a time or two. I remember that feeling of desperation, you can almost see it on his face in the video. Sometimes you get lucky, and it just ends up being a big scare. Sometimes things really do break at extremely inconvenient times. Fingers crossed for this engine, and the shop owners regardless. That's just my take based on the little peek this video gave us all into what is to surely be a great set of videos to see. Great vid and knowledge sharing, as always.

In aircraft maintenance we always kept our fleet on a oil spectrometric oil analysis program ( soap) . The military does also. With any kind of exotic car I would want to keep it on a soap program. During oil changes a sample of oil is taken as well as a filter and sent to a lab. The lab could send you back a report of the various metals in parts per million that is in the oil that were either normal or abnormal readings. Any abnormal readings could point to a part failure internally, and you were ahead of the curve by knowing what corrective action would be coming down the road . It’s hard to believe people that own these expensive cars wouldn’t want to do the same thing to prevent these types of failures.

With that much material in the oil filter I would be taking the sump off before spending any time hooking it up to a bench. If the sump is full of glitter its game over. Full engine rebuild time as its going to be everywhere. These dry sump pumps on the V10s are crazy powerful, its why they are shaft driven. The old pump can easily be refurbished, in fact thats what I would do. Its not cheap but much better to start with a "new" pump vs a used one. There are specialist companies that will do a rebuild, or you can get parts and DIY - they are not actually that complex.

The 5.0L V10 engine from Lamborghini, especially from 04-05, are plagued with issues. More specifically, rod bearings commonly wearing down near 40-50K miles or SOONER, the primary cats can break down and shooting catalytic material back into the motor, as well as general oil consumption issues. Generally; it’s a weak motor in comparison to the 5.2L V10 introduced in 09’ and doesn’t withstand much boost or modifications for anyone that’s tried to push these motors further. A shame! Because these 5.0L engines sound unbelievable.

High performance engines usually will have high abuse owners. High RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) Reving the engine to show off, smoking tires doing donuts, 180 mile per hour driving, sideway driving around curves. My theory is such an expensive engine suffering major damage at 15,000 miles is the result of a crazy driver. That engine in my opinion has been abused. Mechanical devices deserve to be treated with respect. I don't care if one is driving a Lamborghini, Corvette or any other mechanical device, drive like a grandpa and your vehicle will last much longer. Don't ever buy a used crotch rocket motorcycle. Those drivers are insane Reving their engines at 8 to 9 thousand RPM's in neutral just to show off. You will be buying nothing but problems buying such a vehicle. I own a crotch rocket and I am a rare exception to the rule. Never spin my tires, never pop the clutch, never do wheeles, rarely drive over 45 miles per hour and never rev the engine. I know, I'm boring but my vehicles last a very long time. Treat mechanical devices with respect.

Naw this young man isn't trying for lowest bidder. I didn't catch if he knew that Dave's does YT, but he knew what he was getting into
Something smells fishy about this one. The car has been on the road for 10 years, and 15,000 miles. Hundreds of operating hours. Comes in for an electric rack, a coil, and maybe a service. Suddenly, the oil pump goes on them too? Lots of extra talking, filler, and distractions. E.g. "I heard it was a rental", "Someone else has serviced the engine before, see these marks?" "Look at this broken bolt someone irresponsibly didn't replace" While Dave is sitting there going "uh-huh, yeah." At the end of the day, it's a VW product and they can fail. That said, that V10 has a pretty solid track-record for reliability. It may not be coincidence that this unrelated major failure occurred in these same moments under the care of these guys. I think Dave knows that too, but didn't want to put them on the spot like that. Rightfully so, as nothing is going to hurt them worse than the cost of what could be a mistake made by this little shop. As a technician myself, surprise failures while a car is under our care are almost always the result of someone being a human. Making a mistake or two along the way happens sometimes, as much as we try to focus. I messed a really big job when I was young and starting out, years ago. I'm sure it has happened to Dave a time or two. I remember that feeling of desperation, you can almost see it on his face in the video. Sometimes you get lucky, and it just ends up being a big scare. Sometimes things really do break at extremely inconvenient times. Fingers crossed for this engine, and the shop owners regardless. That's just my take based on the little peek this video gave us all into what is to surely be a great set of videos to see. Great vid and knowledge sharing, as always.
In aircraft maintenance we always kept our fleet on a oil spectrometric oil analysis program ( soap) . The military does also. With any kind of exotic car I would want to keep it on a soap program. During oil changes a sample of oil is taken as well as a filter and sent to a lab. The lab could send you back a report of the various metals in parts per million that is in the oil that were either normal or abnormal readings. Any abnormal readings could point to a part failure internally, and you were ahead of the curve by knowing what corrective action would be coming down the road . It’s hard to believe people that own these expensive cars wouldn’t want to do the same thing to prevent these types of failures.

With that much material in the oil filter I would be taking the sump off before spending any time hooking it up to a bench. If the sump is full of glitter its game over. Full engine rebuild time as its going to be everywhere. These dry sump pumps on the V10s are crazy powerful, its why they are shaft driven. The old pump can easily be refurbished, in fact thats what I would do. Its not cheap but much better to start with a "new" pump vs a used one. There are specialist companies that will do a rebuild, or you can get parts and DIY - they are not actually that complex.

More specifically, rod bearings commonly wearing down near 40-50K miles or SOONER, the primary cats can break down and shooting catalytic material back into the motor, as well as general oil consumption issues. Generally; it’s a weak motor in comparison to the 5.2L V10 introduced in 09’ and doesn’t withstand much boost or modifications for anyone that’s tried to push these motors further. A shame!

Huracans and aventadors aren’t usually prone to major engine failure unless they’ve have turbo kits and horrible tunes.
Best episode to date! As a teacher, you made a teachable moment! Well done.

Wow, thanks!
Dave that’s awesome, it’s great to see the inner workings of your thought processes. Doesn’t matter if it’s a big old diesel or a lambo engine you know how to sniff out a problem
Your a great guy Dave! You have taught myself the 4 C’s and I now run my small shop by it and I thank you for your mentorship!
I love how you always push diag time first, and how thorough you’re diag is. So many shops will blindly waste the customers money on unnecessary repairs, or repairs that only treat the symptom without addressing the cause.

High performance engines usually will have high abuse owners. High RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) Reving the engine to show off, smoking tires doing donuts, 180 mile per hour driving, sideway driving around curves. My theory is such an expensive engine suffering major damage at 15,000 miles is the result of a crazy driver. That engine in my opinion has been abused. Mechanical devices deserve to be treated with respect. I don't care if one is driving a Lamborghini, Corvette or any other mechanical device, drive like a grandpa and your vehicle will last much longer. Don't ever buy a used crotch rocket motorcycle. Those drivers are insane Reving their engines at 8 to 9 thousand RPM's in neutral just to show off. You will be buying nothing but problems buying such a vehicle. I own a crotch rocket and I am a rare exception to the rule. Never spin my tires, never pop the clutch, never do wheeles, rarely drive over 45 miles per hour and never rev the engine. I know, I'm boring but my vehicles last a very long time. Treat mechanical devices with respect.
Maximum respect to you and your shop Dave. Many shops would not go anywhere near that engine. Your systematic way of working is second to none 👍🏼

You are a class act Dave! A lot of folks would have run that young man off as soon as he pulled out the used pump. He is trying to take of his customer, who is trying not to clean out his bank account. He stopped when he knew things just weren't looking right and sought the assistance from someone much more knowledgeable.
Keep doing what you’re doing Dave! No sugar coating. Just the straight scoop. I wish all people appreciated that like those young men did. 👍

Outstanding Dave, really nice to see you sharing your knowledge and expertise with a young guy. We need more people like you
seeing you take on these young guys and really give them love and advice warms my heart. Dave you are whats good in this world!
I love how you help these guys out. Nothing scares you.
I’m not sure I’d even touch that. He’s getting it third hand with with really no repair history.
Thanks for the general troubleshooting tips.
I love how Dave is so assertive but eager to help. You can tell how much he wants to pass his wisdom on.
Good to help out a young mechanic 👍

This man is always dropping Gems , helping us learn. Not everyone is willing to share the knowledge.Thank you very much sir 💯
Love that: Condition, cause , correction, confirm. So sound advice from years and years of experience. Love this channel.
This engine is done. Waste of time
Why, why? Why, why do these people not just come to your shop in the first place, it just blows my mind how they waste their time and money not doing it right the first time.
Thx for helping the kid out. You are inspirational.
I love watching Dave communicate. He is an incredible manager, and an amazing leader, a wonderful teacher; and of course a world-class mechanic and problem solver. He always remains calm and unflappable.The kid knew he was in the presence of someone who knows much more than him and to his credit he let Dave be Dave.
I have an Audi V10 (mostly the same motor as Audi acquired Lambo in 2004). I am guessing this thing leaked from the get-go, torn down to the cooler, and the mechanic used too much RTV on reassembly ... That rtv got stuck in the pickup, which is why we are here.

rtv is these days, obsolete. Loctite 518 or the Permatex equivalent is vastly safer and superior to sealing joints. Only numbnuts use rtv.

Just started watching your videos Dave. Your a hell of a mechanic/instructor & overall str8 shooter type of dude! I love it.... Definitely one of the last breeds of decent human beings that have character & pride in what they do & who they are. Love car culture & the peeps that make it up!
Dave is the man. A straight shooter. Awesome how he mentors these two young men. The world needs more of that. If I ever need an engine done I'll certainly consider Dave's shop and I'm in Tennessee.
Great channel Dave, Love your ethic and diligence. There's some guys in Calif - Sheepey Race started w/Honda's and now specialize in Lambos, Ferrari, Audi, etc. you name it - they've done it (1500-2k HPower) and know these engines upside down and bkwards. Just a ref if you need someone in this area of V-10, NOT EVER that you do not, but as you said this isn't your regular customer. Good luck, looking fwd to the Cause and Confirm.
Dang sure is a weird to see you not working on a diesel lol but so cool to see these young men asking for help and getting help in knowledge as well.
Bro, you are so awesome. It's a great Channel. There are so many bad mechanics doing bad things. You give hope to regular people. It was very nice of you to teach those two kids how to be better mechanics.
Dave you are amazing! If I didn’t live in VA - I’d travel a few states for you and your shop to maintain my vehicles. I’m NOT a mechanic at all and the 4 C’s was a mental game changer. THANK YOU - God Bless.
Great to see the old Master at work. Great advice Dave!. That kid has a bright future provided he stays well away from the Black holes nearby......
Way to go Dave, I love the way you pass on your knowledge, I’ve been in aviation for 35 years and I love to do the same thing, pass on experience to the younger guys that want to learn, nicely done

Can't wait for pt.2.. Dave you're the man👊much love from Indian River County Fl
I absolutely love this video Dave, by far the best. Perhaps instill in this young man Good habits. Bad habits in mechanics make life rough on the customer and the next mechanic
Yikes! But certainly looking forward to the next video on this engine. Great work man! Love your CCCC Philosophy!
That young man just got some of the best advice from a master machinist engine builder✓
LMAO! We call that a sh#t ton! I love the "Dont sugar coat it" attitude this shop has. It's the very difference between getting it done and not getting it. LOVE THIS SHOP!
Dave, that was amazing advice You gave these young guys at the end, I'm not a mechanic but I try to do preventive maintainance on the family vehicle and im going to note those points down. Thanks !

Well done, Dave. Thanks for the video. You guys rock!

Most likely if it was a rental and is 10 years old. Just wasent maintained properly. The v10s are known for burning oil so prob was being driven on low oil for a while. Which caused all these problems

These are super easy to clock. It's also super easy to tell if it's clocked you just need to check the mileage on the other modules like the transmission matches the speedo.

Hopefuly they weren’t out joyriding it beating the sack off it and broke it! That could be a deal breaker for a new shop mainly the representation of the shop. Mechanic here myself almost 20 years so I do understand sometimes crap happens and at the worst time, let’s hope the pump fixes it!
Can't get enough of what you guys are up to in your shop. I'm really looking forward to your upcoming show but do hope it doesn't put a halt to your online videos.
Dave and his guys at his facility are bar none running to the top. Good bless y’all!
They put a junkyard oil pump on a lamborghini engine? Daheck
HARD PASS. Sorry, son, I don't think we can help you with this one. This is a "nobody wins" scenario if I've ever seen one.
It sure is nice watching a true professional with the Grace and honesty that Dave exhibits. What a great role model. Success is paid for in advance… David is a perfect example of this… we need more Daves in this world.
Very generous of you to take time out guess it make great content. It got my attention.
Was always told to follow the "4 C's". What is the Complaint? What Caused it? How did you Correct the problem? Did you Confirm your work? Dang good guidance for younger techs.
This was good to watch. I was sad because my cars engine is getting old and tired at 225,000 miles. I can't imagine what it must feel like to blow an engine at 15,000 miles.
