A someone who has an s5 (2013) I saw the car at the beginning and thought "who did this to you, you poor baby?" I love my car, but that 4.2 is an amazing engine, and it is heartening to see you bring her back to health. Great job!
6000 pounds? For all that work? In Denmark it would have been at least twice that amount. Great work, where did you learn to work on complex engines like this. Crazy amount of knowledge. Thanks for sharing
Hi, Thanks for watching , well Miroslav was working for Audi for a while , I learned the hard way. Bought myself a V8, possibly everything was wrong with it so that was my first and very expensive experience ... Since then we try to do them on a daily basis . For £ .... we can make a living out of it and some jobs are more tight with budget some are better.
I own a 2009 S5 with the updated inlet manifold. Wonderful car if rather scary mechanically. I note on a couple of videos you mention using VCDS to diagnose the operation of the engine timing and solenoids. I would be really appreciate a video on how to use VCDS to indicate the state of the timing, and isolate potential issues, prior to having to remove the entire engine and gearbox for a visual investigation.
Lots of dedication and know how getting these German beasts back in top shape. Love my older 911 but my daily is a trusty Toyota 100 series Land Cruiser.Luckily haven't had to sell a kidney to keep it going!
I have an 09 S5 do all my own work, at 3:57 I already knew the biggest oil leak by the layout of oil. (the figure8 oil filter pipe gasket). at 7:14 confirmed hahaha!! these are great cars but they are a bit of a pain to work on!
I’ve had my 07 s4 forever, it’s at 198k. It was stolen in Ft. Lauderdale, hit in the back, hit in the side, front bumper pulled off on curb(wife) suv pulled across highway in front of us at 60+, truck hitch dropped on highway in front of us and broke trans case another time. Sat a year then 3 years waiting for me to repair. Total loss 3 times now. Other then being cursed it has been excellent mechanically, never let me down. Still clean keep it clean too. I have newer 3.0t s4s also, all modded and tuned.
u make this job art like man, i enjoy your videos....theres no bad engines, cars, thers only bad mechanics, and you are the one and rare oposite example....i hear theres Miroslav next to you sometimes, so i say hello to Miroslav, who must be from Balcan, as I am....wish you guys all the best, u realy are something special....lots of stuff wee can learn from you, and its free....thank you
I had an A6 allroad 2.7 twin turbo. Didnt drive it much but what a car. When I sold it nobody wanted to give the time of day for it. Sadly Audi's are notorious for engine problems. And very high maintenance. Once they get a couple of years on their value is zilch. Needed a height level sensor and eventually got one from a garage selling an allroad for spares. Audi tips the proverbial tail out the chicken when it comes to spares prices. The Audi in this video would have been deemed too expensive to repair. I now have a Prado 120 with a Kzte 3 liter turbo engine that's done 220k on clock and runs like a sewing machine. Repairs dont cost an arm and a leg and able to do all myself. Busy repair/ replacing bolts that previous owner (supposedly a mechanic) butchered. Sadly have to pull parts out to get butchered bolts out. Had a brake booster motor pack up and had to take master cylinder out to have it repaired. Cost me about R600 and all good again. The above repair almost cost what my Prado cost me. Just reason it is it worth it in the end
So glad I have my old b5 4.2 quattro. Timing belt at the front! So even I could replace it, none of these complex timing chains. I did replace the cam chain tensioners which cost me £1000 alone. Audi parts are not cheap, so the work in this video makes the car worthless to anyone else except the owner!
Really liked the time lapse video of y’all doing the entire removal of the engine, do more videos like this, we like to see it 😎🤙🏼 btw gonna order some of y’all’s merch/hoodies very soon !! Love what y’all do btw amazing videos extremely informative and not boring commentary love it !!
Great job guys,both of you are very professional,explained as much as you could,so everybody could understand. By the way,we are coleagues,Im a mechanic too,Im from Serbia,and Im also working on exclusive cars,but mostly on Audi's . I had S8,and just like you,I bought it with million problems,so I needed to fix everything. I wish you all the best in future projects and maybe one day,Im gonna put some videos on my youtube and we will make podcast or whatever. Cheers 😄😄😄😄😄
Great vid. I have a 2014 S5 4.2V8 manual with 12000 miles. I was cringing at the beginning of the vid. Definitely road hard but nice work to get her back on road.
Awesome video per usual! You should get a mic, it would be so much easier to hear you when you’re standing by the cars talking! Thanks for the content man
I was thinking of buying a 2015 rs5 until I saw the problems with Audi at 100k mi . I’ll stick with boring Honda or Toyota. My Honda Element has 280,000 mi and only had to replace a clutch and tuneups. You guys really are master mechanics.
i would torture myself for a couple weekends working on my RS5 than drive my miserable Corolla lol. The moment you drive the Audi you smile and appreciate the build quality over the crappy Japanese cars
@@anthonys3906 That's an oxymoronic statement.... If it's built will it will last surely.

Hi, I found that dry air in a can, from PC world, keyboard cleaner works amazing to clean carbon build up, no mess at all and leaves it as new, please try it, just get one can and try it on a old engine, you will be shocked,, I'm no mechanic but i had to change the oil filter housing gasket and oil cooler gasket on my audi s4 4.2 v8.... I was not looking to clean at all just blow out some dirt that might of fallen into the ports,, I sprayed the dry air down the hole and the hole port and valve looked as good as new,,,, well worth a try,,, all the best jamie
Hats off guys, excellent video as usual. I spend more time watching your videos in the evenings than watching TV, awesome and very informative content. If it's any help to create more videos I'm happy for you guys to upload a video of my A6 when it goes in if its any help:D see you in a few weeks
Not sure if you know, didn't see it in video but the coolant passages that go through the timing covers have 2 o rings each. As in 4 total. The tubes are pressed tight into the cover and if you separate it you will find another crunchy o ring.
Hello. Great work and good video! I did chains and tensioners on my 08 S5 V8 with the engine still in the car, preatty good room to do chains in this car by just removing gearbox😄
Bought an Audi A5 3.0tdi sport quattro 6 speed manual. Egr and dpf out remapped to 300bhp, such a good car very little maintenance, oil and filter every 15k km, goes like a train you can get 40mpg the car cost 5k euro
Great job. I have an older auto from VAG: Passat 35i (Wagon). I bought it 8 years ago and sometimes I need to repair it, but repairing is cheaper than this Audi. However if I have got more money than I have certainly I would buy Audi like this:)
Mr. Professional... car was generally cleaned from All the dirt after 16 months so I don’t have to work on car in that condition . This S5 was going for painting and polishing afterwards. Please tell us more how to waste my time cleaning something what will be done completely different afterwards
I just had my 2008 S5 Refurbished in Malaysia.. similar 30K Ringgit whichi is about 6K pounds..Big ticket items were Camshaft holder, engine mounting, plugs, camshaft intake, Aircon Blower motor and even ECU.. ECU changed as the start button had to be pressed twice before it started. And a whole load of seals, gaskets, pipes... all the rubber and plastic parts degarded in 15 years..
It seems Audi and others can't make chains last these days. Let me take you back to 2001 - 2005 era. Rover 75 using the BMW M47 engine. Admittedly it's a heavy diesel lump BUT the chain life on those is actually the life of the engine. (way above 500k miles in many cases) It's a shame they can't do this on big petrol V8's but then again they want things to fail to generate revenue and new models !
You really need to get a small dry ice cleaner. It would have taken an hour to clean the inlets and another hour to make the whole engine look like new. Taking a day to clean the inlets isn’t acceptable. As good as it looked.
Excellent video! I recently acquired a 2011 S5 with an APR supercharger. The car was in the middle of a clutch job and the prior owner lost interest. I bought it "as is" and will finish the clutch and bring the car back to daily driving status. I'm new to the Audi's so trying to get schooled-up as I'm sure they're more sophisticated than the Chevrolet's and Mazda's I'm accustomed to. I do have a question for you - Is it possible to start the engine with the transmission out of the car? I would like to hear it run before spending the money on the clutch parts. Thanks for a great video!
Hi. I just sent in my 4.2 s5 to the shop for some overheating and shifting issue. Afte overheating slightly, it will only upshift after about 3/3.5k rpm. The guy says to replace thermostat and thermostat housing, would you think this is good enough? Is costing be a little over $1,000
Is this the same 4.2 BVJ block that's in my old 2008 A6 S-Line daily driver, they look similar? She's nearing 155k miles and ive been wondering how much longer she's got left in her? Runs great, no issues but a minor oil leak in over 11 yrs of owning it. I did get the multiple cylinder misfire several years ago and ended up being one of the solenoids as well but that's it.

When did the timing chain become a non issue on the 4.2?
What a pcs of junk . crappy design
4 valve after 2008 had no issues because the tensioners wont snap.
Ask owner to add some additive to minimize friction, and then chain will live forever, par example polytrone or euroll lubricants

Hi don’t know about us in U.K. but too much for thermostat , we paid around 240£ if I remember correctly
Can you explain what that special tool is that you used to remove troublesome Torx under angle?
What tool is that you use as counter holder for the camshaft sprocket? The blue (looks like a oil filter removal tool).

Completely different
@@VAGTechnic is there a difference in the timing chain guides?
@@moonbabyking the original had plastic guides right down to where they mount to their pivots, so naturally they would snap.
