We've replaced 3 of these engines in the last two years in our small VAG only shop. 2 locked up solid, 1 let rods out in spectacular fashion, but they all had seized rod bearings. Rods out had 42k miles, bought new, never tuned. First seized had 152k miles, dual pulley with tuning. In the end we traced all 3 back to the HPFPs leaking gasoline into the engine oil. We pay very close attention to the smell of the oil when doing oil changes on these engines now.

Dude, I'm not a student or anything but this would be a PERFECT video to show pupils the problem with oil starvation. You can probably see someone to talk about licensing this to technical schools. You not only did a general diagnosis on an engine, you did what happens when when the engine is starved of oil and a plethora of other subjects in one video. Very very good video. Keep up the cool content, ((subscribed)).

Great teardown & commentary Charles. The crank and the lower con-rods certainly got very hot due to oil starvation. the discolouration and blackness is both burnt oil staining & evidence of very hot steel. The bearings & bearing material that looked welded to the crank also supports the starvation hypothesis.

In another commnet the hpfp leaks fuel intot the oil. Wrecking its viscosisty and those pcv valves also leak coolant in.
Perhaps the best teardown I’ve seen. Nice and thorough, good video throughout with narration, and step by step job. My bet is on the leaking of gasoline into the oil. That would certainly do the work showing on this one.The whole engine seems like engineering gone wild with over-complications. Exactly what I thought of my 1979 BMW 530 and wife’s 1978 320: they just kept adding parts and systems to accomplish the job, but no one ever said “OK, now let’s see how simple we can make it.” I hated working on both those cars and have never seen anything like them before or since. No more of them for either wife or I.
These are always super interesting. I feel that so many people underestimate the importance of frequent oil changes and checking the oil every now and then. So many things can be saved by just doing that alone. :) Too bad the manufacturers are claiming such long oil change intervals these days

I now understand my engine more and dont feel as intimidated being a DYI mechanic. Thank you.

Hi. I have a problem with this engine in my S5. If I rev it over 5k it starts "burping" in a similar fashion as it does when you change gear, but constantly. If I keep revving, it loses power, doesn't respond to throttle and goes to idle vibrating weirdly meanwhile the EPC and Engine Light come on. I have to shift into neutral, stop the engine and restart it for it to work again. Anyone know what it might be? I've asked around in shops and nobody knows what it is. I use premium gasoline fuel.
I love how you changed at one point to really just exploring to find the issue. I know when I do, well anything, I get to a point where I'm almost out of "well I wish it would have been this but it's not" and start to have genuine curiousity about what's going on. I will also say, I now wish I would have been able to totally disable an engine on a car I had when I was a teenager that...well let's just say...ate itself. Would have been fun to compare what you had to do. As always, another great video. Thanks for posting!

It seems the PCV is an issue too, what would the maintenance interval on that be, 60,000 miles?

@@TassieLorenzo Tbh, I don't have much experience or knowledge on Audi services. My only suggestion is check all fluids regularly. And it's at the discretion of whoever is doing the check whether the fluids would need changed. And the only reason I'd say the fuel pump would need to be replaced is if there is an issue related to it. Like hard starting, running rough, or not staying running very long. Typically any kind of engine that has a cam actuated high pressure fuel pump is going to have a reduced service life of the timing components because of the extra force the pump puts on it. And all services are also dependant on how much driving or what kind of driving you do. Do you drive it from your house to the store every day? Or do you have to drive hours on the highway for work? Do you spend a lot of time idling in traffic or at a job site? The shorter distance trips usually have less of an impact on the life of fluids, but can have an adverse effect, especially with engine oil, if the engine hasn't had time to warm up to temp. Long distance constant speed trips are almost ideal for fluid life. But things like engine oil, trans. fluid/diff fluid will have a reduced life. And constant low speed start/stops with a lot of idle time is arguably the hardest on any fluid or parts. Because with no cool air moving through the radiator or around parts, it generates a lot of heat. Which breaks down the fluids and related parts faster. Again, I'm no Audi specialist by no means. But it shouldn't be too hard for an experienced technician to know upon visual inspection whether a fluid should be replaced or not. Some parts can be tricky to diagnose without first having to remove and inspect. Which some parts on some vehicles can be a few hours of work just to get to a simple part. And then there's having proper equipment to do a proper diagnosis. The equipment you have is essential to making a good diagnosis. You can have all the knowledge in the world on how to fix a car. But if you don't have the equipment to get the information you need to make a proper diagnosis, it makes it very hard to get by on educated guesses. It doesn't pay to have to keep guessing at what the problem is. Then it gives you the dreaded title of "parts hanger". Just throwing parts at it until it's fixed. Most of the time, the parts you replace would have needed to be changed anyway. But if it doesn't fix the problem you set out to fix, it doesn't look good for whoever is doing the work
This Was actually a really interesting video. The thing I will take away most from this video is the sheer complexity of the engine. I was blown away at how much work has gone into that engine to have it designed and built and I have to admit it was quite a beautiful thing to look at. And it's a shame when people just abuse engines like that it's obvious that the person who owned it didn't take good care of it. That's a shame but Thank you for the video
This was so interesting and educational to watch. Amazing what damage can happen when the engine is not lubricated properly. Stumbled upon your channel by way of one of your shorts. I'm a new subscriber now. I look forward to binge-watching your videos.

Might have needed a new crank though. But those hours of labour at shop rates add up real quick.

Define “Easy”😂
I love this engine! I wish we could of got an aftermarket bigger supercharger to really put it into big power territory. As long as there’s oil and coolant in it they should last! Even tuned ones are “reliable”.

Thank you
Enjoyed the engine anatomy class
Would love to see a timing chain video. Hard to imagine this could be done with engine in place. Great content on all your videos. Keep up the fine work.
That was awesome to see! Thank you, bro
I don't do anything with any kind of engines but this was extremely interesting to watch!
I just found your channel but it's instant love! I'll binge watch your videos. I'm a noob here so I don't understand why this part + bearings cannot be replaced, or why it wouldn't solve the issue + a little honing. Could you (or someone) please explain?
Thanks for this teardown video. It is good to see all the nightmare results of not taking care of your car. That is also an impressive, intricate engine.
Beautiful. love it :D Was passing on some automotive knowledge to a co-worker while watching the video :D
Amazed it didn't throw a rod through the block when it seized up , great video amazed that Audi or Vw didn't address this issue with this engine.
Instant sub. I love this!
I like the editing, like a lot!!
of all the tubers...this ranks in the top 10...awesome work...t up and s. Cheers and Merry Christmas.

Wow. I always wondered how do you put it all back together meaning how do you know which size screws etc go where? Amazing video!!
Just stumbled across your Channel, loved that video!
Boy I can't wait to run out and buy one of these gems . For the CBFA owner who has thought he's seen everything. Thanks for the heads up !
Awesome video!
In the start of the Vid I heard you say this had some upgrades and a tune on it, This is a clear example of why you should always, always upgrade fully. Anything that is going to cause more heat by running the engine harder and faster is going to need more oil and cooling ( and oil cooling ) on demand. These engines stock had Oil starvation issues, so anything you upgraded or tuned on them is only going to make that more of a pressure point on the engine it self. Invest in better cooling and oil pump.....Edit. I just finished the rest of the video lol and you went over it being upgraded and the oil starvation issues, awesome video as always
Timing chain video PLEASE 🙏🏽. And we love you!!
well worth watching! I guessed it was a timing issue due to the loose timing chain on the right around 7 minutes in but I've learned something. High performance custom upgrades should be performed by high level Technicians in order to avoid poor crank component fits... and always check and change your oil regularly... 😄
Great Work from Dublin Ireland 🙂🇮🇪☘️
