I rebuilt a crash damaged Audi RS6 C7 & then sent the car over 5000 miles to Las Vegas for the SEMA car show. But moments after driving it in the US the engine gave up. I spent hours dismantling the engine to find the issue which turned out to be fuel. So now i either need to repair the standard RS6 engine or look at other options whilst @tavarish is here to help me!

  • As as former Audi Master Tech I can confirm... They were designed not to be worked on. The reason the fuel pump wont prime on the relay is because there is an independent fuel pump module. The easiest method is to lift the right side of the car only, then remove the pump. Most of the fuel will be pushed by gravity to the driver side of the tank. You can start syphoning from there. On a full tank you may have some mess to clean up. The tank has anti syphon tech so you can't get a hose down the fill if someone was wondering.

  • As an automotive technician for over 35 years. Two ruels of thumb. Always bench test a starter when replacing a seized engine and, always tear a junkyard engine down to long block before installing. Always use the known good parts from the original engine. Never use a junkyard intake/exhaust manifold, fuel injectors, or other electronics. A regular mechanic would loose his ass having to pull the engine 2 or 3 times but, the good news is that for a youtuber, it's just more content. I mean. Who else can make money on an engine that won't start? You guts are great. I love the channel and It's so great that your back in Tavarish's shop. You work great together. I love it.

    • @@TheDarkhorse82 Great comments here, but these individuals seem not to heed any wise advice given in the comments section. As you wisely pointed out, to refit a starter motor from a seized engine without having tested it knowing the difficulty of access once the engine is fitted, is close to insanity. So is not labeling pipes with matching numbers to their locations, considering the amount fitted on this engine!. With all due respect, it's clear these guys are merely fitters, but not engineers... is a big difference. As soon as I spotted the melted electrode on a removed spark plug, I commented that detonation seemed apparent after having cut my own cylinder head profiles in the past. That's what happens when you run boost levels to the degree they are, detonation lies just around the corner due to the increased volumes of air passing into the engine. They will not learn from that, as they are going to do the same or similar by mapping this engine too, is a case or naivety!. The cause of the last engine failing, was not purely just down to the fuel octane rating alone. Could be compared to jumping off a boat into shark infested waters, knowing your friend had their leg bitten off at the same location you're jumping into!, cheers.

  • I wonder if your Dad could imagine a few years back, that his son would completely turn his life on its head. There is no doubt that you, Mat, and your Dad are in seventh heaven and your Dad is enjoying every minute of his life as much as you are. Long may it continue. Superb work as always. Cheers from the UK, Bob

  • 26:25 - You just met the RS6 tax. Identical parts just a higher price tag. It's incredible what Audi is charging for parts. I needed a sensor on my older RS4 B5 - we figured out that the sensor costed 160 euro for the RS4. However the S4 has the exact same sensor, just with no RS badge and costs 80 euro.

  • Starters are one thing I will always buy OEM from the dealership even if they cost more. I've been through this SAME thing with Nissan in the 90's, went through 6 "rebuilt" Autozone starters then decided to try Checker Auto parts (now O'reilly auto parts) and after my 2nd starter from there I decided to buy from Nissan while it did cost more I no longer had any starter problems. Buying from the dealer normally means waiting for weeks etc.. But worth it

I am currently restoring a 68 Amc Amx I will only buy new electrical parts if I can get them especially the starter. Every car I work on if the starter looks beat up it gets a new one if not. I will rebuild it myself if the parts are available.
