In today's video we refit the rebuilt KO3 turbo and also check the supply and return pipes for flow. I also discover why the turbo seized in the first place!
Yep that was an excellent length new format video Dean. The detailed explanation means not only do we understand but we learn more too, so keep the new style please. Awesome that it all seems to be running well now. 👍🏽😎
Loving your work, really felt for you on the V8 rebuild, looking forward to seeing you show it who the boss is! Great content, carefully explained, I really admire the knowledge you have and the technical ability too. Keep it up.
If any of my friends are working on their vehicles, I enjoy watching/helping them out..it’s always fun. This is interesting to me.... I would watch an hour or more. Anyway, I enjoy what you are doing, and will continue to watch, no matter how you choose to present it. Do what works for you.....you will never please the whole comment section. Great fix.
Enjoyed this descriptive video format. I had always thought that VAG filters were really Mann filters and you confirmed that in this video so will continue to use Mann products on our TT.
My mate made us a tool for the three hidden sump bolts; sacrificed a 10mm spanner, cut one end off and welded back on at an outward angle. Works great 👌 great vid man 👍
With the orange nipple in the oil filter, use a philips head screwdriver and push up into the middle of the nipple and the seal will open and lock against the side of the housing. Let it drain then press the screwdriver back up and it'll pop back down and seal again.
Longer videos are ok mate. People will watch when they have the time as they do now anyway. Im always watching videos in parts as I dont always have time to watch the whole thing.
Definitely doing the right thing here Dean. Pleasure to watch. Make the vids as long as you can please. When I get time will link them on the Audiowners forum 👍
You can pop the oil filter drain with a screwdriver. Just press the bottom of it up until it pops in. Then it just presses back in place afterwards. Draining intercooler can be done by drilling small hole in lowest plastic portion, then screw in a wood screw with a thick rubber washer in hole. I usually drain a very small amount each oil change.
I knew a guy with an older A6 2.0T that had the same issue. Oil pick up blocked and engine ended up lunching itself. Full engine rebuild, on him, £2000. Audi UK refused to help. Found out Audi USA had a recall for all cars using the same engine to do a revision on pickup. Audi UK still refused to help. His car was 5 years old when this happened.
I prefer this format, lot better than the time lapse. Longer videos with content like this are worth it. Any news on the non VAG project? I read someone commenting the other day a Smart car would be interesting and I totally agree!!
Great video and a successful result. I hope you eventually have the same luck with the rs4 engine. Well done Dean, always admire someone with a brave “ let’s have a go “ attitude.
Hi Dean. As ever another great and informative video. I prefer the slower format but may be in the minority ?. Check time stamp 16.04-16.10 something went UP? 👀
i just bought an a3 s line 2.0tfsi from Crapart sold as used uncategorised "runs" with "engine noise" took sump off and pump balance shaft chain and sprocket is in bits. engine needs scrapping turns out its common on this engine the oil pump balance shaft is over engineered and made of cheese. Get a new chain on it at least as it will break anytime. various mods for them including balance shaft delete and conversion from chain to gear drive
Like the longer videos, also like the speeded up rather than the time-lapse 👍is it just me, but can you please clean the leaves and crap off the skuttle, it better to work when the car's are clean 😊
Always enjoy a longer, more in-depth video - keep em coming.... Also the cam belt cover has the bolts missing, noticed it moving as you put the turbo back in...
I personally like to watch things done in greater detail obviously if it’s something you have done a million times on your other videos you could time lapse but if it’s new it great to see how to in normal time 👍🏻
I tried removing one of them filter housings on a Passat and that was supposed to be 30Nm and I used the correct socket to remove it and it was that tight it rounded the nut off I had to revert to a filter strap around the housing and a ½" breaker bar safe to say it crushed the fibre housing before it come loose, the last person must have either not put oil on the seal or just used all their energy to tighten it up.
Spot on about OE parts. I buy my posts at gsf and they are about 25% of the Mercedes-Benz part. The Mercedes posts even have the brand and brand part number written on them!👍👍
Definitely able to see more with speeding it up rather than time lapse, 20 to 25 min vids are absolutely fine , think that engine will need a good clean after lol
Yep I think this is much better video footage, I much prefer it. Any chance of you blowing those leaves away, it would give an impression of things maybe been clean.
Great video. Its times like this that us DIYers get that hit of satisfaction that youve done a good job and its all good. Sounds better than it used to too. Recheck the oil levels a couple of times too. I would have liked to see the turbo being wrestled in but the rest of the time lapse seemed about right..... Did you need a new manifold gasket???
A big hint dropped to your family that a parts washer would be a good birthday / xmas present would make you life a lot easier. Very similar looking filter to my Toyota 1VD-FTV V8 Twin Turbo 4.5 litre diesel in my 200 Series. Every forum I've read emphasises the need to steer clear of aftermarket brands (other than Ryco and Sakura) as the consequences of lunching our engine is a minimum of AU $15,000 for a crate engine. We have also had a rash of fake (in similar Toyota looking packaging) filters on sites like ebay, so the advice is buy genuine from a Toyota dealer, dearer but better.
I was freaking out when you were away to turn the car over, hoping that the wipers weren't set to on and pushing the leaves into the intake. That's the type of shit that would happen to me
Hi Dean, I don’t mind long or short video’s though I prefer the longer format. I think you need to do what works for you as you have a young family and a busy job, so maybe a combination of long/short will work
Looks quite wet around the bellhousing/engine, are these leaks you have addressed previously just waiting to be cleaned up? Great content on your channel fair play
thats not the latest revision diverter valve, they messed up the revision system with this one, the one you want is 06H-145-710D, if you type that no. in on ebay you should be able to get a genuine one from pierburg fairly cheap, this revision reworks the valve and makes it so there is no rubber diaphragm, fixing the inherent problem with this valve if i were you just go the whole hog and get the GFB+ improved internals kit for some nice sutututu 😉
You dont need a special tool to drain the oil filter housing btw you just press that middle bit in and put it to the side and after its drained you just poke it back in the middle. Just a tip.
I could watch for hours mate, love the newer format. Very helpful for an ameteur such as myself.
Mate if I’m honest your videos could be 30 mins I’d still watch every little bit.
Not going to lie i prefer the longer videos, the longer the better!
@@brianhume4743 narrower, better, that is what he said
Yep that was an excellent length new format video Dean. The detailed explanation means not only do we understand but we learn more too, so keep the new style please. Awesome that it all seems to be running well now. 👍🏽😎
Prefer this video style 👍🏼 Great work on getting everything back up and running, great videos. Keep ‘em coming.
I always run brake cleaner through them pipes, using just air leaves a lot of residue inside.
That format for the video is just spot on. Love it!
Sump nut was tightened by a Kwik Fit Gorilla I reckon.
Cheers, Bob
Loving your work, really felt for you on the V8 rebuild, looking forward to seeing you show it who the boss is! Great content, carefully explained, I really admire the knowledge you have and the technical ability too. Keep it up.
Yes! This was a good video! Love the Audi fixing content!
Great video linking the time lapse and the in depth in all you've videos
I prefer to see more detail, this was a great video. More please 👍👍
If any of my friends are working on their vehicles, I enjoy watching/helping them out..it’s always fun. This is interesting to me.... I would watch an hour or more.

Prefer the longer or more detailed videos, so this was great. Thanks.
My mate made us a tool for the three hidden sump bolts; sacrificed a 10mm spanner, cut one end off and welded back on at an outward angle. Works great 👌 great vid man 👍
Another good video. Love it when you bring these cars back to life. Look forward to next videi
I normally dip the new filter in oil just to save it the few seconds without oil when you start it, good videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
With the orange nipple in the oil filter, use a philips head screwdriver and push up into the middle of the nipple and the seal will open and lock against the side of the housing. Let it drain then press the screwdriver back up and it'll pop back down and seal again.
Time lapse is a excellent filming technique
Since I have been watching your vids I have learnt a lot more about working on turbos, excellent stuff.
Longer videos the better. Best videos on TH-cam
Nice video liked the fast forward better than time lapse was able to see more stay safe mate 👍 🍺
Lovely Jubbly, very much like this format and time scale.
Longer videos are ok mate. People will watch when they have the time as they do now anyway. Im always watching videos in parts as I dont always have time to watch the whole thing.
You are a great mechanic. Keep the videos coming
Garages over tightening bolts a screws is my biggest gripe when working on cars!
Definitely doing the right thing here Dean. Pleasure to watch. Make the vids as long as you can please. When I get time will link them on the Audiowners forum 👍
Great work on video. I've been thinking about doing sump so thanks for tutorial. Looks straightforward.

Enjoyed the new format 👍👍
Nothing wrong with ‘old school’, good job, good vid👍
Good stuff this 👌🏻prefer the fast fwd rather than time lapse, it seems smoother 👍🏻
Neither jst strait up long content mate is a winner 👍🏽
Great video and a successful result. I hope you eventually have the same luck with the rs4 engine. Well done Dean, always admire someone with a brave “ let’s have a go “ attitude.
I like this format a lot better than time lapse 👍
Hi Dean. As ever another great and informative video. I prefer the slower format but may be in the minority ?. Check time stamp 16.04-16.10 something went UP? 👀
Little tip what I do to clean pipes I run a bit of petrol though them cleans them and see that the flow is good 👌
20 minutes is just the right length of video matt with a bit of time lapse thrown in.
Think I’d have started by removing all them leaves 😂
Top job as usual 👍🏼
i just bought an a3 s line 2.0tfsi from Crapart sold as used uncategorised "runs" with "engine noise"
took sump off and pump balance shaft chain and sprocket is in bits.
engine needs scrapping
turns out its common on this engine the oil pump balance shaft is over engineered and made of cheese. Get a new chain on it at least as it will break anytime.
various mods for them including balance shaft delete and conversion from chain to gear drive
Love the in depth longer video mate!! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Like the longer videos, also like the speeded up rather than the time-lapse 👍is it just me, but can you please clean the leaves and crap off the skuttle, it better to work when the car's are clean 😊

really enjoying your vids, bud. personally, i am a fan of the longer format. keep up the great work.
Much better format. Isn't much longer than what you were doing before but way more watchable👍
Far more better mate with this kind of video
I’m in the ‘likes to see detail in real time’ camp 😉
I tried removing one of them filter housings on a Passat and that was supposed to be 30Nm and I used the correct socket to remove it and it was that tight it rounded the nut off I had to revert to a filter strap around the housing and a ½" breaker bar safe to say it crushed the fibre housing before it come loose, the last person must have either not put oil on the seal or just used all their energy to tighten it up.
hey dude you cant please everyone on how long a vid is etc...awesome job 👍
Spot on about OE parts. I buy my posts at gsf and they are about 25% of the Mercedes-Benz part. The Mercedes posts even have the brand and brand part number written on them!👍👍
Great video...enjoyed watching.... Hopefully theres no further damage anywhere.
Looking forward to seeing the road test.
Keep up the good work
Great video as always.Yes 👍 for the new format.
Definitely able to see more with speeding it up rather than time lapse, 20 to 25 min vids are absolutely fine , think that engine will need a good clean after lol
Was thinking that myself needs a good clean now
Longer the better for me too
Like the new style video, you can see a lot more. Keep up the great work 👍
I prefer longer videos mate, absolutely brilliant work bro
Brilliant vlog again Dean please keep them coming buddy
Yep I think this is much better video footage, I much prefer it. Any chance of you blowing those leaves away, it would give an impression of things maybe been clean.
Great video. Love the new format
Another for real time longer more detail vids please, thank you.
Class video as normal. My missus thought your said aldi as well. Defo my favourite TH-cam channel
Great vid! 🎥
Excellent work and thanks for the content stay safe and take care
Nice vids mate. Learning a lot watching your content thanks 👍

Appreciate the extra detail 👍😎
Very interesting video 👍
Awesome bud cheers 👍🏻

😂😂👌🏼
Always enjoy strip and rebuild videos. If you can keep them to 30 mins max then my attention span is ok. Good video, thanks.
And enjoy longer videos. Thumbs up.
New format is perfect.
Love your videos Dean, keepem comin mate 👍
I definitely prefer the longer videos 👍
Brilliant channel keep it up please
Thanks 👌🏼
Great vid mate. Keep them coming. 😁
fantastic video, love the oil pickup upgrade. What engine il did you use please?
Hi Dean, I don’t mind long or short video’s though I prefer the longer format. I think you need to do what works for you as you have a young family and a busy job, so maybe a combination of long/short will work
Looks quite wet around the bellhousing/engine, are these leaks you have addressed previously just waiting to be cleaned up? Great content on your channel fair play
Worth pulling the fuel pump fuse and cranking it over to get oil pressure up?
Good reason to keep up the oil changes on diesels it’s the reason the oil stopped getting to the turbo
Good vid, really enjoy watching the detailed stuff, mainly because I wouldn't have a clue where to start!
Great Content, video length about right in this episode
I thought you were going over to Aldi to pick up your parts at 0:20 lol great vid too.
You can source an aluminum variant of that 4 way coolant flange on ali express, hard to find but I did :)
I did see that, but I needed it ASAP so went for the more available plastic one!
The longer the video the better for me pal 👍. Just out of curiosity would the pick up pipe get like that due to lack of regular oil changes?
You need RecoTurbo based in Doncaster. Great service and good prices.
Great video.... longer the better.
Nicely done!!!
Prefer this format to the shorter ones 👍🏻
Grand job
Revision D is the latest version of the DV
To be honest with you mate, Id have been more inclined to clean the oil pickup pipe and renew the turbo feed and return pipes instead
thats not the latest revision diverter valve, they messed up the revision system with this one, the one you want is 06H-145-710D, if you type that no. in on ebay you should be able to get a genuine one from pierburg fairly cheap, this revision reworks the valve and makes it so there is no rubber diaphragm, fixing the inherent problem with this valve if i were you just go the whole hog and get the GFB+ improved internals kit for some nice sutututu 😉
You dont need a special tool to drain the oil filter housing btw you just press that middle bit in and put it to the side and after its drained you just poke it back in the middle. Just a tip.
Yeah, that’s the messy way of doing it 🤣
Great video as always! Did you re-use the exhaust manifold gasket?
