Hey thanks for watching, I’m not a qualified expert so don’t pay any attention to me. But usually internal stud walls aren’t structural, hence being a stud wall. Basically a frame for the plaster board to be hung on. If it was structural / load bearing then it would be brick or block. If unsure though then best to get someone who knows about this to confirm before you attack it with a hammer. For new builds the stud wall underneath the stair I took out is highly unlikely to have any structural properties. BUT once again I’m no expert, nor qualified 😃.

They are the Achilles heel of maintenance on these Audi’s 🤦‍♂️. I’ve yet to work o na Volvo but quite fancy an old T5 estate for the channel one day 👌

Same size as the OEM one external however the boarder is much thinner. I think it’s either 8.6 or 9” can’t quite remember fully

@ I was asking, because on AliExpress, there are two options, one equal to the original and another 12” option. Thanks for you answer

Haha well spotted. Fortunately I endured the pain of removing them about 18 months ago when I replaced all the bushes. And I can confirm they were a nightmare 🤦‍♂️. Thank god otherwise the car would have been scrapped lol

@@InDadsGarage mate i had to cut the end off and drill the rest of it out, new pinch bolts from audi £22 + vat each, i nearly fell through the floor, a year later the rack packed in so i scrapped it, i refused to pay the money to get it done or drop the engine down to do it myself

@@paddyici6629 haha that’s the reality of these older runners. I couldn’t find a replacement power steering hose second hand or aftermarket for this particular model. OEM one was nearly £400 and the only eBay one I could find (the one I bought) was from Poland and I negotiated it down to £80 from over £100. I recon a garage would have charged close to £800 for that job and I bet the car is only worth £1k 😂

@@InDadsGarage new rack £300 and they wanted a grand to fit it, was ironic though because i pulled the engine out when i broke it for parts lmao i just got sick of it, ended up buying a B8.5 A4 S Line Avant, the 170 brake, still got it now as a daily and my B6 S4 as a weekender thing

Haha the irony. You probably did right anyway. A more modern and comfortable daily. I’ll be looking to upgrade to something similar at some point for my daily 💪. Obviously with some maintenance requirements to start with 😜

If memory serves me right it’s 7x6m internally with double cavity walls so around 7.6m by 6.6m externally.

Thanks for the support dude :D

Hey thanks for watching and sharing your kind feedback 😃. I have a set of Bimecc spaces and bolts from eBay. Running 12mm on the front and 20mm on that back with no issues of rubbing etc. They just fill out the arches nicely. 👌

Hi thanks for your comment. The only thing I can think of to mind is that your phone is connected to both the Audi MMI system and the screen. From my experience you need to forget the Audi MMI Bluetooth and WiFi connection in your phone and just connect to the screen bluretooth. You will need to select media to hear and take calls through CarPlay from then. Hope that helped and you figure it out 👍

@ thanks. Il try some more 😀

@ looks like my Car changes from aux to wlan when i try to Call someone. It changes to wlan sometimes when i start the Car too. Tryed to deactivate wlan but it does not help 😀

I used AUXITO and I have them aimed correctly on my Civic until the Civic was sold. Honestly, I was satisfied with the performance. Maybe they are not the best, They are worth of my money, though. Did AUXITO hurt your heart,Mate?

I also do not think they are legal for car if they did not come out the factory with LEDs fitted. As the headlight was never designed for them originally it could cause oncoming driver to be dazzled. Asked my garage last year about this and it would be an MOT fail.

Im looking to buy one for my RMC. Did you fix the problem or is the screen still sticking out? Also, do you use the AMI cable in the arm rest? Also, does your phone automatically and smoothly connect to carplay every time?

Hi thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Pleased you found it helpful. I’m jealous of your turbo upgrades 😎. One day soon maybe 🤞

Hi it’s not necessary better or an advantage over the stock one. You need to fit it to make calls via the screen if you connect your phone to it as the screen doesn’t (from my experience) connect to the cars inbuilt microphone

I have a similar issue - my original MMI or reverse camera does not show up and displays "NO SIGNAL" If you ever figure it out please let me know. Thanks!

I have exact same problem, coika taking too long to reply, did you connect the IN cable into the back of the multimedia from the box?

Same issue here, if you find a solution please throw it up here.

Have you got the Aux In activated? Can be done in the green engineering menu on the MMI if it's unlocked cked on your car.

Hey, yes even after a brand new PCV the suction on the oil cap is still really strong, apparently this is normal for these V8 engines, they suck like a Dyson. I actually don’t think there was anything wrong with mine in the end 💁‍♂️. The main sign that your PCV is failing on these is a whistling noise on tick over which stops when you put revs on.

@ oh mine might be ok then it’s not whistling yet 👍

2016

Great answer, I wish I could have articulated it in that way. Hopefully people in the comments can use that as good advice 💪. I’ll be sticking to 2-3k oil services so 5-30w sounds good based on that. Thanks for taking the time to watched and leave a comment 😃

@ no worries. Lovely C7 by the way. It’s been on my list of cars to have for a while. Had a long list of VAG performance cars. Last one was an 8V RS3 before going to the dark side and getting an M2. Miss that five pot sound but the V8 would be a good substitute.

lol thanks for watching, pleased you enjoyed the video 😂. P.S I have some spare, low millage oil if you want me to send you some 👍

@ wow my boy answered right away.. 😂😂 nah don’t worry first and last video I’ll watch. “ I have some spare” “I’ll send you some” bha.. must be British humor.

Hey thanks for watching and subscribing to the channel. Haha I never thought about that actually 😂. The video would have been cut very short if i opened the door and it was gone haha!

@@InDadsGarage Thankfully it didn't do the vanishing trick! Really polished production too, sure the channel will grow for you.

I sometimes use Mann filters, the one I took out was Mann. It’s just what I picked up. Do you believe there is a huge difference in quality between them?

@InDadsGarage Yes we discussed on German oil forums that we should stick with OEM oil filter but in reality most of us sticks with mann filter which is usually the OE manufacturer. As for oil we found out Audi engines or in general all engines really enjoy Ravenol, Since they are pao ester based group iv oil and oils such as liqui moly,castrol etc is gas

​@@InDadsGarageRavenol is what to use.

Here in UK, Ravenol is not that known as in Europe/Germany.... It's a shame, as UK RS's sure will look worse inside... 😢

Try with Nerol, now is sold in the UK. A Spanish brand at the level of Redline (higher than Ravenol). Search in youtube analysis of this brand.

Hi thanks for the advice. I will definitely do that next time. 👍

Haha, completely normal suction for these engines, they suck like a Dyson!!!

@ you save me 😁 also you scared me too 😂

@@7YALL When you remove the oil filler cap partially with the engine running you should have a strong suction and if removed totally the engine should sound like it's about to stall. If both happen then your PCV system is in good health ;)

@ happy to hear that thanks for your comment mate

Totally agree, I only changed my HPFP because I saw a video and then went and smelt my fuel cap and panicked. However I was experiencing warm start issues so it was needed. The rest of the stuff I did since probably wasn't however! BUT at least I learnt how my car comes apart and goes back together lol. Huge thanks for watching and supporting the channel :)

@InDadsGarage hugely interesting learning process. What a journey, and at least you didn't pay all those labour costs 👌

Ab...so..fricking...lutely, lol A road trip video will be on the channel in the near future for sure. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel :D

@ it’s great to see somebody DIY’ing an RS6 and avoiding the stealership costs of these cars! 👏

Thanks for watching, pleased it has helped you out. For £40 its worth getting one done next time you change your oil, but yes I think they just smell a little bit like fuel when it come down it! lol

@@InDadsGarage i will look at examine the oil on my next change i leave in sweden and i use 40w instead of 30w most car guys advise me to be using the 40w..i wanna knw yur thoughts

There is a huge debate between 30W & 40W. People seem to use both in these engines and different manufacutres suggest different grade some 30W and some 40W. I can't comment on what is needed for temperatures and conditions in Sweden, however as long as the oil meets the VAG specs in your manual, usually 504 then you should be good with either. HUGE CAVIET, I'm no expert though lol. My tuner told me to stick with OEM quoted 5-30W unless I am noticing the car burning excess oil, then switch to 5-40W.

i went to liqui moly 5w50 molygen to my rs7 really happy with chose and oil stays at lower temperatures

Only if you will be my camera man ;0) lol

Hey, sounds like you are having abit of a nightmare lol In regards to the screen not lifting up, I would say you must have and OEM connection missing or not plugged in as the screen motor is managed by the car rather than the aftermarket screen. Just check its all plugged in right. Also the little bag of black bits will be the replacement spacer/reducer to allow the screen to sit further back. I didn’t need to fit this on mine but sounds like you might need to.

@InDadsGarage thank you. I've just watched Tim's video and I understand what I need to do there now to get it looking flush! I've double checked again the connector for the motor is all plugged in, like you say that's seperate.... I'll persevere 🤣🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi thanks for watching. I used this one from Amazon. Huepar BOX-1G Green Laser Level with Pulse Mode, 0.2mm Pro Accuracy, Switchable Cross Line Self-Leveling Line Laser, Large Fan Angle with 150 Vertical&130 Horizontal Laser Line, 360° Magnetic Base

Yes you can control it there too 👍

Hey thanks for watching, yes you can adjust the brightness to your liking in the screen settings, the same as you can on your phone. It’s can so be set to auto dim at night time.
