It is actually fairly reliable as long as the maintenance is done properly. I have owned an A6 with this Engine for about 11 years. Bought it with 33.000KM und sold it with 287.000KM. As long as the proper Oil type (5W40) is done in a fixed intervall of 10k KM and as long as you follow the servicing plan that you get with the car. You will never have any major issues with it. I didnt, and i know many people with the same engine. So far the only people that had issues were the ones that use VW Long Life oil (5w30). That shit destroys this engine. The Oil Type makes a big difference. And as i said, with the right Oil Type and Propery regular maintenace. This 3.2 V6 will last a lifetime

Ill never understand why audi retired the 2.2 20v turbo. Best engine they ever made even to this day.

Audi expert here, all you really have to worry about on these engines is the timing chains. It seems after 130k miles is kind of up in the air how long the guides will last before breaking and causing it to jump. To fix it the transmission has to come out which is labor intensive. Otherwise the engine is solid. I’ve seen them upwards of 300k still ticking with 1 timing service. The high pressure pump likes to fail occasionally as well, but otherwise good engine

You clearly and concisely explain complex mechanical systems and components. I'm not a car tech and I don't (and never will) own an Audi, but I watched this anyway because I like your style.

Here's the deal about VW/Audi products: This company has what I euphemistically call "The Airbus Attitude". Airbus is a European [cough cough French cough cough....] aircraft manufacturer that produces very good products. Their designs are almost always better than the competing Boeing product and they use none other than Porsche to design their cockpits, but mechanics tell me that they do not hold up as well as Boeing airplanes. And the company, EADS, is unapologetic about it. In FACT, they are on record as saying that their airplanes, irregardless of hours/cycles, should be removed from service and recycled at the 25 year point. Why? Because improvements in efficiency and safety occur over time and they think that is is a valid reason to park one of their products and buy a new one. [There are plenty of 40 year old Boeing's flying every day....] VW/Audi have this same attitude. Few people work on their own car anymore [I do...] and since they believe that torque rules, they try to stuff the biggest engine they can into the least space. In this video we see the timing chain at the output/aft end of the engine; This actually makes the engine shorter, since the variable valve timing gear is now in a space next to the firewall that is normally not used. You can see this all over the place on this engine, how they have crammed things together to make the package physically smaller in order to fit it in a small engine bay. Again, they know that owners won't be the ones swearing and throwing wrenches across the shop, but those owners like their torque, and THEY are the ones putting money into company coffers. AND, they figure that when things like timing chains need to be changed, that the car will be an "Airbus" and as such will be too old to justify the expense of hiring a mechanic to do it and the owner will just junk it and buy another one. Also, in Europe, cars are intensively inspected every year, and cars old enough to need extensive work are probably not going to pass inspection anyway. Thus, the design you see in this video. These cars are an absolute BLAST to drive, but don't own one when it gets more than about 10 years old. PS: All this is coming to you from a "certified" VW/Audi and Porsche fan boy...

I'll never forgive Airbus for pulling the plug on Concorde the way they did. But yeah, that attitude is really common with a lot of cars. German ones especially. I hate working on them. Apple is the same in the computing world. Most of their stuff is an absolute bastard to repair because all the components are soldered in. It's less reliable doing it that way too. Socketed components have less heat going into the solder joints. Not helping is Apple's traditionally inadequate cooling. Most of their stuff runs at or near the thermal limit.

There is some truth in what you are saying. However I believe engines are getting complicated and complex "mostly" because of emissions regulations and competition. People used to complain about the belt driven 2.4 L and 2.8 L engines Audi used to make pre-2000's. With this chain driven Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) 3.2 FSI engine, these old engines seem suddenly much less complicated. And this 3.2 FSI is way less complex than the 3.0 TFSI "supercharged" which followed which would be itself less complicated than the 3.0 TFSI "turbocharged" of today. They want to offer the thrill and the power to their customers but have to make the cars compliant with emissions regulations which make them too complex. This is not just an Audi problem. Every GDI engine compliant with emissions regulations that offers a lot of power has to be complex. Bring a similar Mercedes or BMW engine and they are likely to be even more complicated than this. Most other manufacturers aren't just at this level and are always playing catchup.

You would make an awesome instructor. Your enunciation is second to none and you definitely know your subject.

That was a great instructional video on the inner workings of the engine, thank you 👍

Great video. Does anyone know how to do an LS swap on an Audi A6 3.2L? One thing you didn't point out is that the cause of that oil that leaked onto the coils+spark plug. That oil causes it to not run well when cold and misfire. To fix that leak there's a gasket visible at 7:08 that need to be replaced and another one not visible in your video that seals the metal layer exposed at 11:18. The outer gasket isn't too hard to replace but the inner one is hard. Why did they split it up into so many pieces?!?! It's GTF tech. Read about it in my Quora answers. Again this is a top-notch video to anyone with this engine who needs to do repairs on it. Upvoted.

I have driven cars with this engine before. Its a brilliant performer. Nice sound, very good torque, and super smooth. Unfortunately they are known for eating their own liners before 100k km. So I'd stay away from them just because of that reason....😬✌️

Thanks you explain it better than anybody else. Great work

Don't forget that an extra fuel squirter at each valve in each manifold in more modern GDI engines cleans the valves/intakes... It almost makes up for having to take the inlet manifold off a 2001 Mitsubishi GDI and using 3 cans of oven cleaner to clean it out (all aluminium, not plastic) and digging the muck out of the valve area with a wooden stick....

Interesting to see how complex these engines are.

I love your vids speedkar, but could you put on closed toe shoes when you're dropping crank pulleys and water pumps on the ground?!

To celebrate the 300K maybe you can get some shoes to protect those toes. Wonder if they make steel toed sandals? 🤔😂 I have gotten so used to wearing steel toed shoes at the plant and maintenance shop that I am surprised to see your toes every time some thing hits the ground. Great job on the engine. It is so crazy they use that many types of fasteners. It is one way to prevent the casual DIY’er from working on the engine.

Love this dudes humor, he understands what mechanics go through daily lol

Thanks for you videos! "customer states what" has surely deterred me from audi's as well!

You apply different types of screws to avoid the operator using the same tool if torque should is different. If fixing is critical (vehicle will fail if fixing loose) you also use strange fixings to make sure that the correct high-capable torque wrench is used on a specific station (they keep track and record of torque). Some of those tools cost $80k. Fixings can be close to each other, but if made on different stations, it does not matter that screws are different. You will have a new tool there anyway. Great vid as always! thanks!

I had this engine in a 2008 a4. The dealership loved seeing this engine because it was different from all the 2.0's. That car always had the engine light on, I couldn't get it fixed. I took the car to specialty shops for carbon cleanings also. The dealer said the intake manifold like to crack a lot. I appreciated the car for I only seen 2.0's driving around but I felt like the engine was cheap. This was before I read anything on how engines work and I started to learn after this car.

if i was that magician who memorises 50 packs of cards - i still wouldn't be able to reassemble that engine! amazing how you can get all that detail into 22 minutes - shows you really know your onions. great video!

This Engine: "A fine-tuned performance powerplant that lasts 100k Miles" ... 2000 Honda Civic Engine: "A simple engine that leaks oil but lasts 500k Miles+"... Audi has not always built the worst engines in the world but i'd put them up there these days...

I just sold my A4 with this same motor. Ran great at nearly 200K, but it was a ROYAL PITA to do ANYTHING on it. The newer 2.0T with just as much power and way, way simpler is definitely the way to go. I'll never get another 3.2 again. Haha.

This is very topical, because I was looking to buy a 3.2 Q5 today. Thank you!

Audi tech here, that 3.2 has actually proved to be a pretty reliable engine as far as this generation of Audis goes. Regularly see them over 200k miles. As far as timing on the rear goes yeah it’s dumb, dropping the whole lump out is just part of working on Audis, doesn’t take long really though

The first production direct injection engine was actually more than sixty years ago it was the Mercedes 300 SL of 1955 a direct injected 3 litre straight six and the Mercedes W196 and 300 SLR were the first Grand Prix and sports racing direct injected cars they had a 2.5 and 3.0 litre desmodromic valve direct injected straight eights.

Good observation

I really appreciate the teardown video, as even for a seasoned mechanic like me it shows internals i've never had a chance to see before, on this engine. And now we're getting to the point: these engines in fact, aren't that bad and considering their age (early A4s and A6s with these came out about 18 years ago) they aged very well. Especially comparing to their 4-cyllinder siblings. I agree with the comment that sometimes it is unnecesarily complicated to hold one bracket or accessory with two or three different types of fasteners. But it is quite typical for German-made engines, however it is marginally worse than BMWs and somewhat worse than Mercs, in that order. Next, there's the comment that this engine was "leaking and burning the oil". I do not agree with this one, since these engines just leak the oil. The excessive oil consumption (burning) issue is almost non existent on these engines. Oil leaks are the main culprit of this powerplant. It will leak from the valve cover gaskets, evidence of which is clearly seen on the video. The oil around the spark plugs and their threads is what it is - just a leak, resealing the heads will cure that. The second major leak spots are the rear timing covers, while head covers have their molded gaskets, the rear lids just sit on a bead of sealant and it goes bad with the time. Third major leak spot is the oil filter housing and this one is virtually not possible to reseal as the plastic part gets warped with the time. So gotta just put a new one, they aren't that expensive. Last but not least, solenoid valves on the top of heads will leak some oil although this is usually a minor thing. Sometimes this can be remedied with a new seal, sometimes the whole unit needs to be replaced. Other than that, there is no other ways for this engine to lose the oil and it definitely does not have issues with badly designed piston rings like some 2.0TFSIs (and yes they DO burn the oil excessively). As for working on the rear timing components, it is quite tricky on smaller platforms but a skilled mechanic thee days will do most of the repairs without pulling the engine. And there's not too much to it - upper slide rails and tensioners is all that gets worn, other than that no reason to mess with these. Cooling system of these engines is pretty robust, sometimes it will develop minor leaks front the front cooling galley (which is made of plastic). So as you see, the engine might look complicated when tearing it down but actually when it comes to routine maintenance and occasional fixes for common issues isn't that bad to work with. It is worth to note that it is relatively free from major mechanical design issues and when you think of buying a car with one of these, just be prepared that you purchase a MAJOR OIL LEAK and unless prepared to add a bucket of oil every other day, there are cures for that.

На 1000 км., я доливаю около 1 литра масла. При том само масло почти не капает на асфальт. Возможно оно сгорает на поверхности двигателя при скоростях за 200. Мой механик сказал, что надо по хорошему снять мотор и коробку целиком, все отмыть и заменить все прокладки и сальники.

The Gen 2's do have a steel belt inside the tranny (power split device) that connects the two shafts and a regular fan belt but the Gen 2 is way more dependable than the Gen 3 with it's electric water pump that blows head gaskets, the poor location of the PCV Valve that throws oil up into the intake manifold (needs catch can) and the EGR valve and cooler that clogs. I have just fixed the dying main batteries in the Gen 2 Priis. Fun.

I got 2 Audis with the 2.0 .. 2017 both 70K and 90K miles so far.. do regular maintance no issues so far..

To be honest, once the upper tensioners get changed and oil changes are done religiously, it’s a bulletproof engine.
