    Just to let everyone know.
    The video on Pcv valve did not tell you to hold the intake flaps slightly open as you install the intakes or the flaps will get stuck closed.
    Try to actuate your flaps after the intakes are down on the injectors.
    Make sure they move freely.

    I don't see how any shop is going to take the time and do all the actual cleaning steps that this guy does to get the job done right. Repair shops are about production. Great video for a very involved job that shouldn't be needed in the first place if these things were designed correctly. I am close to buying one of these Audis and I am now rethinking it. I love the way these drive but don't know if it is worth it. If anyone knows a shop in SE Michigan that they would trust to do this job right, please let me know.

      I have a 2014 S5 as well and had it done at the dealership for about $1400. If you play your cards right with Audi, about 85% was covered under an extended warranty. Done at around 85,000km

    • @audis5512
      @audis5512 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@DaTT78 I could be wrong and correct me if I am but the Audi coverage I think you're referring to is a different carbon cleaning and has to do with the secondary air injection system which does not include the intake valve cleaning. I believe in order for Audi to cover this, you must get a "hard fault" which triggers the check engine light and 2 codes must be present upon diagnosis, this requires bumper to be in service position to get to the two ports...very common issue and coverage I believe is 10 years or 120,000 miles whichever occurs first
      Also don't bring to Audi for this unless you have the coverage...$1400 is far too much for a simple walnut blast/chemical cleaning....you should be able to find a good indy shop to do it for about half that and if you're hands on just DIY and save more of your hard earned $$$ 🤙

    • @DaTT78
      @DaTT78 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@audis5512 Yes, you are correct, it was the secondary air injection system cleaning...I thought it was tied to the same thing. I was throwing only 1 code, but the mechanic made it show both for coverage. Also,, the $1400 is Canadian dollars.

    • @audis5512
      @audis5512 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@DaTT78 I thought so, I'm in Canada as well, more specifically Toronto area and all the top Audi indy shops are in the $700 range for the cleaning, some shops use walnut shells and others use chemicals. If you haven't had that one done yet it would probably be worth looking into as a preventive measure! If you're in this area I can give you the name of one
      Also worth noting: the cleaning itself should be in the 700 range but keep in mind that the injector seals, upper and lower manifold gaskets, oil change (due to possible contamination) should be done in the process and if you have not yet done thermostat, PCV, water pump, supercharger oil especially at your mileage it really should be done, especially if you are planning to keep the car for awhile!

    @brewster1233 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Ah yes Audi AG (as well as other DI engine manufacturers). The dealer did my 2.0T A4 valves at 70 KM under warranty. Then did them myself again at 135KM before any codes (Pictures to prove!). Along with the timing chain tensioner, chains, guides, balance shafts, etc as preventative "service". Honestly if you're adverse to high dollar dealer maintenance or if you don't trade your car in every 4 years you might want to avoid these cars. They are definitely not buy and forget. Don't get me wrong I still love my 2012 A4 - 6 speed manual, 220 hp, awd - what's not to like - except for perhaps a little bit less "maintenance". And yes I would probably buy again - If I could get a low mileage manual when I retire. They drive like nothing else. Period.

One of those revisions being low pressure fuel injectors sat in the inlets in the old school way. This would alleviate this carbon build up on the intake valves!
    The later gen CREC engine had 12 injectors! 6 DI high pressure injectors and 6 inlet low pressure injectors. Plus many more upgrades.

    • @fcpeuro

      The simple lack of fuel passing thru the valves in all direct injected engines is what causes the buildup of carbon. An oil catch can and slow the process but not prevent it. Methanol injection, however, will help keep the valves clean.

      Two years later & I would still like to know why as well. I can only surmise that it's because while the crank is being rotated so is the water pump, which could cause fluid to come out of areas you wouldn't want it to?

      @@fcpeuro definitely something that FPC Euro could invest into. The machines are getting cheeper every year and I have seen machines that could do a carbon clean on an engine. Would make it way more cleaner, easier and best of all safer being that there is no blasting media. Everything just gets vaporised.

    @10:01 that vacuum line. That comes from the solenoids under the SC. Where is the connected too where you disconnected it? Please this could save me SUCH a headache

      I'm thinking they go to the tumble flaps, in which case could those possibly throw a Secondary Air Injection insufficient flow error code. Specifically bank 1?

    Carbon build up, high pressure injectors and pumps are problematic, would you trust an 18y/o dealer mechanic with abrasive blasting, paying to get this done in 2020 seems backward. My advice is avoid DI or look for duel injection.

    • @fredfrederickson
      @fredfrederickson 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Not very good advice. Dealers do not hire 18 year olds anymore, a lot more qualifications are required in 2020.

    For DSG cars, to turn the crank over to close the valves does the car need to be in neutral or any specific setting? Does anything need to be reset after turning the crank over?
