Good call with the original pipe by cleaning it up etc - in my view. Thanks again for a great video and a super honest and informative video series. I've watched the lot! Top Tip - when you go to do your brake discs, fit armoured hoses all round and blue back pads. You'll not be sorry!
Thoroughly enjoyed the series mate, great detail and very well edited. Also didn't realise I 'needed' under stairs storage till I watched your back catalogue... Looking forward to seeing what's next for the channel, keep up the good work!
Hey thanks for watching and so glad you enjoyed it. Haha good luck with your under-stairs storage build. Top Tip.... don't build it outside without checking you can get it back inside lol!!!
I have to carry out the same operation on my rs6 Congratulations. Your work is very inspiring. Can you give me the news regarding the suction at the oil cap?
Hey thanks for watching. Yes I can confirm suction before and after was exactly the same. In the end I think my PCV unit was still good but worth changing anyway as it had already done 48k miles and would need replacing as somepoint 👍
did u test if the vaccume changed on the oil cap? Kindly let me know I am about to have a dealer do the recall on the oil strainer and want to know if i should replace anything while he is there to save on labor
Hi, after changing my PCV unit I can confirm that the vacuum stayed the same as in the clip shown. I don’t think my PCV unit was actually failing to start with so no difference. I would strongly recommend getting a new one fitted whilst they are doing the strainer though as replacing it in the near future will be almost the same abit of work and very costly in labour. PCV unit it’s self it only around £150.
They are a Euro 6, if engine is in healthy condition you should get around 17-23mpg or so in mixed driving scenarios. If constantly in and around town or doing a lot of short journeys expect a bit less, (especially if you have a heavy right foot). On longer journeys they are surprisingly good on fuel, I've had 30mpg out of mine. I usually get around 20-24mpg, my use is mainly A/B roads with the odd enthusiastic overtake (ahem), and on motorways can easily see over 28.
Depending how you drive it... Drive it like you are taking your Grandma to the shops the maybe 24-26mpg Drive it like you stole it sub 15 mpg. I went for a spirited drive the other week and got 60 miles to £30 of UK premium fuel.
Than you very much for sharing this with us.

Have you upgraded your interior lights as mine are just plane white and are just a bit boring ..
Yep, LED upgrade, I'll do a video on this once I hit 1K subs ;0)
What year is your RS?
2016
@@InDadsGarage It looks really clean for the year, keep up the good work.
What do these do MPG wise? Is it a Euro 6 Version?

Its all about the enthusiastic overtake, quick V8 rumble and then straight back down to economical speed lol.
