On these 3.0T’s - Supercharger core air water intercoolers often to leak into the intake ports and sometimes hydrolock the motor. Also check the cats- known to melt due to proximity to the exhaust manifold. And lastly that vacuum pump has a gasket repair kit you can find to replace. Very common leak!
If this thing got scrapped, can you imagine the poor bastard at the wrecking yard with the torch cutting out the cat converters??? He'd be extra crispy.
To get the converter off the flywheel of a seized engine, remove the oil pan and move the connecting rod caps or mains that are keeping the crank from turning.
I had a 1973 Mercedes 280 SEL with early fuel injection that would sometimes dump fuel into some cylinders after it was turned off. Found a used ECM that fixed it.
Who else has been here since his 100 subs? This dude is grown so much from the days of working in his garage with no lift and his girlfriend. Watching JR go.
They are called Audi's because to service the engine, it has to come "outie" (Audi) from the car. Those aren't rings on the logo - they're decimal places for service bill
modern (2015+) Audis have gotten a lot better in that regard. The 4 cyl ones of all years though have never really needed to come out, its the big engine ones that they shove in the engine bays haha
John, I know that by this time it is very likely that the new engine is already on the car but if not it is an excelent moment to change the upper timing chain tensioners. The chains are on the back of the engine and it is an engine out job. Also thermostat, crank pulley and water pump are some weak items from this engine (at least early ones).
WOW that's narly ... Exhaust weeping ... How are you going to clear/clean the cats. Cool idea on the conference table our of the carnage. Thanks for the share.
If you’re looking for it you’ll find muffler fluid in the flight line, blinker fluid, and freq grease aisle. In California, that’s the same aisle where the cellar keys can be found.
My Honda had probably 3 gallons or more of water in the exhaust one time. It was sitting for about 7 months and we had a few big rain storms. When we started it up again water poured out the exhaust for about 15 minutes.
Wild episode. You would never suspect the exhaust system to be full of raw fuel. I guess it's a good thing you decided to pull it. I subbed to Josh's (The Fractured Rooster Garage) channel too.
Good ol 4 ring circus. Service position would've made it easier. The twin turbo is more of a pain, but only takes 2 hours when you know what you're doing.
Dude, while you are there you should also replace the muffler bearing also. It's way better to change that now with the muffler fluid vs having to tear it apart a second time when it fails!!!
@watchjrgo got a 2007 Saab 9-7x linear any recommendations on tuning and some maintenance tips you may be able to share? Congrats by the way for sticking to what you love long time fan!
The smart way to remove the engine/engine cradle! Yeah, I think you have a excessive gasoline issue in the exhaust pipes,.......................................................
J could you really not use an engine jack? I know on the VW/Audis with the 2.0T they literally have hooks that stick out of the engine where you can run your chain and pull the engine right out and its quite an easy process. I guess you can't do that with the 3.0T?
Just be careful beating on that Tennant floor scrubber, use to operate one and the front steering chain likes to fly off if you corner like a fool. Also, paperclips are it's nemesis...
Check those cats before putting it back in. They're notorious for failing due to the location and the heat they can get, especially if you tune the engine and change the supercharger pulleys.
Are you planning to replace the timing chain ? Perfect time to do it before you put the trans to it. Pulling an Audi engine is by far the worst thing I have ever done.
Methinks cleaning up fuel with a floor machine probably isn't the greatest idea,especially since those ride on models are like 20K. Does he not have any oil dry?
That V6 is actually the Audi V8 with two center cylinders lopped off via CAD/CAM. The Audi V8 itself is an EA827 family variant. The EA827 started out as a 1.5 liter SOHC four cylinder in 1974, but was quickly bored and stroked out to 1.6, 1.7, and 1.8 liter variants. In 1980, Volkswagen added a cylinder to this engine to produce a 2.3 liter five cylinder for Audi, since the EA827 four cannot go past 2.1 liters. The EA827 is so compact that hot rodders have installed Suzuki 1300 Hayabusa motorcycle cylinder heads, which have nearly identical bore spacing. In 1987, Volkswagen took the block design of their four cylinder engine and using computers, put two of them together on one crankshaft and created the Audi V8. A V10 was proposed as far back as 1972 as a power plant for Porsche's upcoming 928, but this idea was nixed. That V10 remained as blueprints until the late 1990's, when it was resurrected and built as the engine in the Lamborghini Gallardo and the Audi R8. A variant of the EA827, the EA888 is the 2.0 liter engine in nearly every Volkswagen and Audi car sold today.
Not many people know this, or so called "mechanics", the exhaust fluid is there to lubricate the exhaust bearings, and it needs changing every two years with audi approved fluid EX4 0ST. True story.

Glad you didn’t use a cutting torch on that exhaust!

It’s diesel wouldn’t do much
@@AaronSmith-kr5yf seriously, could you imagine?
@@ToxicMisfitsYt no its petrol.
You HAVE to do an engine teardown or send it to I Do Cars TH-cam and let him do the teardown on that engine.
Agreed
Josh is the man, glad to see him back on the show!

J&J Auto wrecking always coming in clutch
It's an engine. Not just a clutch.
@@ilikechesseonmyballs I see what ya did there lol 😄
Nah, brah, that's an automatic.
Josh deserves his own bay for all hard work he does with jr over the years
Sooo are cylinders of the original engine possibly just full of fuel and it's hydro locked?
When Audi's attack....
I'm definitely overdue for my muffler fluid changes.
Right after your blinker fluid changes!
I had a 1973 Mercedes 280 SEL with early fuel injection that would sometimes dump fuel into some cylinders after it was turned off. Found a used ECM that fixed it.
Fingers crossed for your ECUs. Great to see Josh again, would love to see an update on some of his builds.
I am impressed you got the motor out without putting the car in the service position.
Who else has been here since his 100 subs? This dude is grown so much from the days of working in his garage with no lift and his girlfriend. Watching JR go.
Thanks JR! I’ve been waiting for an update on this car. Can’t wait to see it running.
John did you by chance pull the plugs out of that thing maybe it's just hydrolocked.
That’s my guess
mine too, that's why exhaust had gas in it
for sure. Injectors stuck open flooding cylinders.
.y thought to
They were out when I got it, still wouldn’t turn. 🍻
9:04 - Missed that perfect ad transition for those Vessi shoes!!!

Josh is back, awesome! Welcome back Josh.
You should ask the car ninja if he ever seen gas like that come out the exhaust
It's not every day you see an exhaust full of fuel.
I can't recall ever seeing that, especially not that much fuel
Stuck fuel injector. It happens.
If I could help Watch JR Goes and Joshs work on the Audi I would drink the cold Bartle Skeets and puff on the Cannabis Cigars and get all schmoked up
Bet that motor is hydrolocked, previous owner was likely getting it repoed, and just dumped fluid down the intake to kill the car for the bank
i would definitely do an autopsy on that old engine.
I thought the same thing.
If it’s hydro locked you can drain it and it will probably be fine
Is it hydrolocked from antifreeze leaking in thru a bad head gasket? 🤔 it just might be
WOW that's narly ... Exhaust weeping ... How are you going to clear/clean the cats. Cool idea on the conference table our of the carnage. Thanks for the share.

Faulty injector filled cylinder with exhaust valve open drained into muffler system?
Good video, JR, fun to watch (probably not as fun to make, but the editing was great). Thanks! Dave J
At least the exhaust should be fairly rust-free on the inside!
Thank you ninja.
Hopefully the trans is good.
Hey, if a VW can have coolant in the instrument cluster, there’s no reason an Audi can’t have exhausts full of fuel.
My Honda had probably 3 gallons or more of water in the exhaust one time. It was sitting for about 7 months and we had a few big rain storms. When we started it up again water poured out the exhaust for about 15 minutes.
Just a thought ....could the downpipe cats be gas/coolant damaged ?
The one and only time where you'll see that much fluid coming out of an exhaust system
...You haven't been watching Cleetus drive under water, have you?
Hey Josh, got that Austin running.
Wild episode. You would never suspect the exhaust system to be full of raw fuel. I guess it's a good thing you decided to pull it. I subbed to Josh's (The Fractured Rooster Garage) channel too.
I’ve seen the intercoolers in the supercharger fail and hydrolock the engine but a failed head gasket is not very common with this engine
I did NOT expect the cleaner to slide!
The fast and furiously clean.
Good ol 4 ring circus. Service position would've made it easier. The twin turbo is more of a pain, but only takes 2 hours when you know what you're doing.
Looking forward to the table build!! Sounds awesome!!
For that much fuel to come out of the exhaust, it has to be hydro locked.
He said the fuel was watery too.
Is the engine hydrolocked on fuel?
Dude, while you are there you should also replace the muffler bearing also. It's way better to change that now with the muffler fluid vs having to tear it apart a second time when it fails!!!
Stuck open injector. Possible. Fills the cylinder up. Bang. breaks the rod because liquids are incompressible. On start-up of course.
@watchjrgo got a 2007 Saab 9-7x linear any recommendations on tuning and some maintenance tips you may be able to share? Congrats by the way for sticking to what you love long time fan!
Did you try pulling plugs and spinning motor?
The plugs have been out since I got it, locked tight 🍻
Whats with the black vette in the background? I keep seeing it alot of videos but i always forgot to ask lol
Cat cons ruined?
Because everyone wants to know: AGA lift table: $5,500 + shipping
When did you floor get coated? Did I miss something?
I don't see a link to Josh's channel.
"Done by th end of the month", and which month would that be JR?, to be honest it doesn't matter really does it!
The smart way to remove the engine/engine cradle! Yeah, I think you have a excessive gasoline issue in the exhaust pipes,.......................................................
Ah, the old 'engine's seized, throw away the key' trick!
Finally the audi content I’ve been waiting for !
J could you really not use an engine jack? I know on the VW/Audis with the 2.0T they literally have hooks that stick out of the engine where you can run your chain and pull the engine right out and its quite an easy process. I guess you can't do that with the 3.0T?
If it’s locked up with exhaust valves open, every time you try to crank it over it’s just going to dump gas into the pipes
Injectors won’t fire unless the motor turns over there isn’t any way It can dump fuel out of them
the engine my be hydolocked ... take teh plugs out and try turn it?
Did you try to start without the plugs in it.
I assume that thing is hydrolocked but it would be cool to see you do a diagnostic tear down.
Last time I was this early. I was a little swimmer
Just be careful beating on that Tennant floor scrubber, use to operate one and the front steering chain likes to fly off if you corner like a fool. Also, paperclips are it's nemesis...
It's gunna hurt when you flip that floor cleaner....
Is the original motor seized or was it hydrolocked from all that water/fuel....
Gotta change that Muffler fluid....along with that blinker fluid.
What's up with the Camaro and the Rolls?
"I think by the end of the month, that car will be done."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So, maybe hydraulic lock vs totally seized engine?
Check those cats before putting it back in. They're notorious for failing due to the location and the heat they can get, especially if you tune the engine and change the supercharger pulleys.
They’re known to fail even at stock power levels!
Are you planning to replace the timing chain ? Perfect time to do it before you put the trans to it. Pulling an Audi engine is by far the worst thing I have ever done.
Now would be the time to do it, while engine is out
It could be a bent exhaust valve where the fuel went directly to the exhaust system
Was engine hydrolocked?
Could it have been a flood car. It would explain the engine locked possibly hydro locked. Great video!!
Was it locked up because of that fluid JR?
Methinks cleaning up fuel with a floor machine probably isn't the greatest idea,especially since those ride on models are like 20K. Does he not have any oil dry?
Would the attack make it iny instead audi
Even though you addressed this in the video, aaannnddd, 75 other people have asked the same question...do you think it was hydro locked?? Lol.

So I wonder if it lost an injector and hydro locked on fuel. Probably a good engine.
So i noticed you missed a few episodes everything okay?
The thing I like is you don't just talk the talk you walk the walk
Sounds like the ideas were flowing at midnight.
What a surprise. An Audi with a seized engine. How many miles on the clock John Ross?
Wow. I need to check my muffler fluid STAT.
Soon as I saw the fluid I said the same, it was hydro locked
That is why you get straight pipes... You never need muffler fluid anymore. Saves on that yearly maintenance cost.
The engine knows you are removing it and it is not happy.
Lol haha car almost pissed on you guys 🤣 that's crazy
Did you guys flush the radiator?
Well that explains why it’s locked up 😂
Good thing you didn’t have to torch the exhaust
Could have been a very interesting first start if you hadn't pulled the exhaust, just changed the engine and turned the key...
Johnny (Ninja) let his beloved table out of his shop OMG - you owe him big .... come on be honest he popped in a few times just to check up on it 😂👍
With all that crap in the exhaust, are the cats going to be okay?
So brother was engine seized or gasoline hydro locked
The Mechwarrior "weapons online" soundbyte is clutch man.
How much does that table cost again? 10K?
hmm, it could be hydrolocked engine, if you check the injectors and test the compression. the engine might be ok.
Not many people know this, or so called "mechanics", the exhaust fluid is there to lubricate the exhaust bearings, and it needs changing every two years with audi approved fluid EX4 0ST. True story.
Love these videos JR .... I need parts for a 2000 Nissan Xterra 4x4 .... HELP !!!
