It would be a good idea to blast off the DRC fluid covered suspension etc… the wet area will draw possible wrong conclusions from the MOT tester… no need to give them reason to look deeper or fail by ‘mistake’.

I really don't think that the turbos are blown. I'm sure you worked at Audi when they came out with the 2.0t 16v FSI that had the oil consumption issues .(B7) .weigh the oil and drive drop the oil and reweigh oil after 3 weeks to determine consumption . Remember that engine had alot of oil in the wrong places due to faulty PVC it can blow through to the cats and hot side of turbo manifold and such ,it may have pooled in these places . You need long road tests to burn out the oil residue. Also for turbos honking is an early warning and coolant consumption too is another sign .I'm just saying 😎

Loving the rs6 videos. Looking forward to the MOT results and extensive testing

Just a thought… valve guide oil seals. It would match the profile of when it smokes.

Great video as always.I like the diagnostic reasoning you use on this car.just keep doing what your doing and carry on.kudos 👍👍👍😎😎😎

Loved the official washer jet adjuster. We used to do ours with the end of a paper clip….

Hiya Dean, love your chanel and how informative and interesting you make them. Good luck for the future mate and keep up the good work. 👍

Fingers crossed you don't need to take the engine out. The exhaust looks factory so there's a good chance it hasn't been re-mapped, as I think most people do the exhaust as well. Worth looking into if you keep it. They are ludicrously quick with a secondary cat delete (still road legal) and remap.

Excelent content. Very detailed ! Keep up the good work!

Spot on content mate as always, keep it coming 👍🏻

Wow, some good news for the most part. Hope the gases are an easy explanation and quick fix Sure you could do without another big engine out fix!!

Great channel. New sub. Have been bingeing your vid's. I had a customer a few years ago. Was an ex UK rally driver back in his days. He had a saloon version of this car. He took me out in once and terrified me. Very fast car!

When you want something to focus just put your hand behind so camera doesn't see background and then auto-focus will work...keep the good work, enjoy watching you men

Love the RS6 look forward to seeing it all completed

I think the piston rings have been stuck up, i think a good blast and a couple of hundred mile run will sort it ! 👍

Your laptop's been through the wars today! Great vid as always👍

i hope your ok,its agreat audi rs6 ,its great info and amazing positive content has usual.take care m8

Car looks and sounds great, might be an idea just to clean all that oil off bottom of engine, not sure if there is a problem wi th oil burning, well done Dean, enjoyed the vid.

Fingers crossed there are no oil issues with the engine as it does sound great when on the move but you would expect a bit of use of oil due to the mileage.

Put your hand behind what you need the camera to focus on i think works mate 👍 love the rs6!

To get the camera to focus put your hand behind what you want it to focus on. Loving this video series btw

Excited to see it fully ready for the road

Great content as always 👏

Give the underneath a good steam clean. 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

A while ago, when you removed some of the breather pipes they were full of oil. Perhaps there is some residual oil stuck somewhere which burns off when hot? Like a pool in the exhaust silencer maybe? I also tried to get into a sealed high level brake light, and the plastic was brittle and just broke into pieces. Shame as you can repair them if you can get into them.

I have one and they use half a litre every 500 miles or so. I must say mine is much better than that but always keep an eye on it. On start up they are all the same until they warm up on start up, I doubt you have a problem as they are known for reliability apart from DRC issues, auxiliary oil seal/cooling pipes which was a common problem and used to be an engine out job. Good luck with it, they are an amazing machine if kept on top of.

When you want see your exhaust output when you rev the car (but you are alone). Kneel beside it outside use your hand to rev and look all the way under and you will be able to the tips.

Add some eurol lubricants to motor oil it will live longer ...on q7 3.0 tdi 2020, temperature of motor oil droped for 15 centigrade after adding additive for reducing friction, also very good for turbo since turbo is feeding with motor oil they will spool faster...

My A3 54 plate, one down from the S. I did 340k that girl got me everywhere

Great content mate

I'm amazed there's a tool for clearing washer jets, all these years I've used a sewing needle...😀

Hello, it's a real pleasure to discover your channel and see you working on this car because I have the exact same rs6 c6 Avant, black exterior and same color of interior seats and exterior aluminum pack. It has 113,000 km or 70,000 miles, and for cold engine starts it's exactly the same thing, it smokes like a steam locomotive 😱😀 it lasts 30 seconds and after the engine speed drops and it no longer smokes. This is normal, the secondary air pump system sends air to tell the computer to put a lot more fuel in to heat the catalysts when they are cold on start-up because the catalysts are only effective when they are hot. This system is made on purpose for that. I replaced the spark plugs and the coils a short time ago and it was really not easy, the cylinder 10 coil is very difficult to remove because of the ABS block which is just in front. I would like to see a video if you take the spark plugs or the coils apart to see if you have a better way of doing it than me and it could help me for the next time 🙂 I will do the engine oil change soon, it will be the first time I do it on a dry sump, there are 5 drain screws and I have the Audi procedure but to reassure myself beforehand I would like to see on video if you drain your engine. I think I might put some Engine Flush before doing the oil change, it might be good for the engine. Sorry for my English, I don't know if you will have understood everything 🤔😀 but I help myself with Google translation. Hello from France, thank you very much for your videos and I wish you and everyone a very happy new year !😊

I'm just trying to remember with when you did the PCV system. Did you give all the induction pipes n intercoolers a bath in degreaser and hot water? Just cos if the PCV was what was causing oil to get into the induction side of things and that has now been rectified then if the coolers etc weren't properly cleaned you will still get blue smoke on start up until all the residual oil is gone. Any oil sitting in the heads against the valve stem seals and getting into the engine would mean the sels need replacing which after over 200,000 miles is kinda likely but that's if they sit in a pool of oil. Otherwise I'm just thinking all the induction needs a proper clean but then that's a lot of stuff to remove. 😉

Another brilliant video again as always

Love your vids man, really do. How cool would it be to deliver cars with a trailer behind this RS6? Would love to see the faces of the dealers collecting their cars!

HI MATE GOT A BYD ED30 HEAD OFF MY GTI I REMOVED IT DUE TO HAVING A TICKING NOISE POSSIBLY A DODGY LIFTER OR ROCKER PERFECT FOR A REBUILT 👍🏻

My guess would be a fault in the PCV crank case ventilation system, blocked or broken valves in the system can cause the engine to draw oil into the intake system under certain conditions like hard acceleration or over run

I had a old merc before that had could sense what sea level it was at and it adjusted the air fuel mix for altitude. The altitude sensor went funny and confused every person that tried to fix it and I eventually replaced that and solved it.

Hi dean good luck with the mot test and hope it passes without then advisors

Corrosion in tailgae indicated hevily on both drain holes at 10:21 & 10:22. This was 99% cause of bad connections to number plate lights and problem with inner/tailgate rear lamps. To avoid future problems (for yourself or next owner) I would look into replacing third brake light. Seals on them are terrible and most common issue for water ingress into C6 tailgate. Also check if any corrosion is present on rear wiper motor. You got all the trim off so might be good to replace while then'n'there, reather when it pack up Love RS6 C6 model so much, I enjoy every video of it:)

I've got a special tool for adjusting water jets. It's called a safety pin! Change your oil temp sensor and watch you smoke disappear! Common on VAG engines.

In July 2021 there was a audi rs6 c7 from 2014 for sale in the Netherlands for just 40.000 Euros that has ran 207.000 Miles

The 5.2 V10 S6 has a longer dipstick on the right hand side (typical length you'd expect) and isn't dry sump, but the procedure for checking the oil is identical... Also requires 10litres of oil when changed, ouch

Mine smokes randomly from cold start up. I’d say once every 10 start up. No rhyme or reason to it. Im not worried about it as like you said seems to be fairly common on these

Good luck with the aftermarket number plate lights the c6 is very finicky with them best to just buy the a8 genuine led units Some times the aftermarket ones work for a couple hours some a couple days some a couple weeks and others just work

I'm thinking the cats are braking up . Think they have honeycome before the cat for oder control. But perhaps a dpf thing. May be remove the 02 sensor if its in the cat and look at the honey comb for failure.

Hopefully it behaves itself with the oil consumption from here on in Dean

PVC i had a bmw where it was smoking like its on fire the pvc collected alot of oil and water burning it back in the engine also my 07 750 smoked only when parked up a hill and never driving it was the valve seals and last my mercedes r350 had so much water in the exhaust once it warmed up the cats and mufflers it was smoking to

Class video as usual

Nice video!

This could be a great buy or a money pit. My late father bought a VW Transporter back in 1975, that was brand new it turned into a money pit. He nor I have never bought VAG cars since. I am on my 4th Toyota now. :)

Weren’t the charge pipes full of oil on this one? Could it be residual oil in the charge system?

Just to let you know mate midlands VW also do drc recharges might be worth a call try save the pennies

Mayby pop off the intercooler pipe again to see if theres more oil there?

Could there be oil in the Exhaust system from a previous issue?

It could be gummed up rings, maybe squirt 30ml of petrol into each cylinder and let it soak down to free any gunge, then change the oil (using shell helix), and take it on a motorway stint in 3rd gear cruise at 4000rpm.

Where did you get ELSAWIN from? Am looking for a cheap version for my 2005 A6 estate.

You pulling the car - I’m thinking Laptop on the roof!!

The problem your having is it sitting for a period of time at a time my Fiat Stilo Schumacher does the same it's just they don't like sitting I just start mine up every week or couple of weeks leave it half an hour while doing whatever and it's happy

I had an S6 c5 before with 265k on the gauge(420000 km). It ran like new.

You should rename the channel how to remove engines from Audi’s lol 😂

Could be valve stem oil seals. Try an engine flush!

There definitely will be one in Germany on maybe 300,000km or something

Ha that car has nowt to do with me and I'm nervous about the MOT :) Be a winner if your smoky joe antics were cured. Fingers crossed.

Brilliant news!!

For a bit of fun could you hire a dry ice cleaner and clean the underside of oil and crap?

I would definitely clean up the oil stain from underneath get a rag with some brake cleaner it will look like brand-new again you don’t want an over enthusiastic MOT guy to put it down on the advisory sheet🤦‍♂️🤔

If u have problems with the turbos would it burn oil

How you get the camera to focus, put you hand behind dipstick in front of camera and it will focus. Other than that, some decent videos, thanks for the content.

That's one looked after Audi for the mileage 👍

I would remove plugs and scope it I bet you’ve got bore score that’ll be the oil smoking issue

Got over 11k in recipest for my 70000 miles 335i in maintenance but that’s over 12 years before I bought it

If you need any styling parts for the GTI we can give u a deal😍💯

Why have u removed there tailgate lights?

There is one RS6 that i know of that has 410 000 km (255k miles). Also cranking time tells my gut it has leaking injectors

You stuck an extra litre in when you first collected it, without checking levels in the way you just described … any chance it was marginally overfilled and simply burning off some excess? Either way some regular use seems to have resolved, I wouldn’t overthink it until you need to?

Leaking down when not running, then start up and high vacuum at idle pulling more down but the smoke stops after oil is burned off.
