Water ,,get it RIGHT you suck all the air out of the water system with vacuum box then transfer water with no air

The filter is washable buddy with petrol or similar fluid

Word of advice from someone who works on those cars daily, buy some long and short ball torx/hex bits. Youre welcome.

A pair of snips take those clamps right off.

WTF? Drive with him to his house and check the data! This is when a system was setup to generate income out of something that was once meant to be for the public good!

I wonder whats in the transmission, saw a guy with baby mice in his, dead of course.

14:35 min, yes it is made for a whole life cycle IF YOU USE AND BUY THE ACCURATE OIL AND SERVICE IT AFTER THE SCHEDULE, But this is exactly what the people are changing after the guarantee is over 😂😂😂! No oil anymore where a gallon cost around 2-4 times the regular price of 5W-30 full synthetic long-life oil, and they change it to a cheaper one! This is the result! The car (motor) was not meant to be filled with 5W-40 or even mineral oil! But its a standard result even with VW's or other Audi's! Or the coolant too, they use the wrong and cheaper one, or even the one for casted motors and then its a matter of time!

25:13 The amount of oil sludge is disturbing for such low mileage. This is a poorly designed engine.

I have a B5.5 passat, they have a oil screen in the pan. The wonderful engineers at VW decided instead of making the oil pan easy to take off like most cars, they decided to put the subframe across half the pan. So not only do you have to remove the subframe, you have to put 2 2x4 across the hood and secure the engine so it doesnt fall out the bottom and crush you. Das Auto

Ah good old Audi service position. Something all Audi owners who work on their own cars hold dear in their hearts. Also much love for the Audi D-clip electrical connectors, because if you must destory them to release them then you get to buy new ones to destroy for next time! Thanks VAG! (LOVE my A8 but also hate it like my ex)

You do know there’s a mechanical pulley to release the both doors in the hatch haha

a shame, because it's the hottest audi by far!!

The bashful gas directly complete because grandfather statistically stretch like a curvy soccer. permissible, perfect david

You are a brave person to attack this job.

I agree this is an unfortunate design if the proper oil and service has not been done. With the proper oil and service, screen buildup should not be an issue. The direct injection without a port injection supplement is a real problem with intake valve build up however.

BMW has the same problem with the 1.6d PSA engine.

Reason# 256 why I will never but an Audi. Or Volkswagen or bmw or Mercedes or Porsche....they are all brutal to work ON. They just have an extra level difficulty/complexity.

Better to spend money to service a car than just buying a new car to fix issues *cough cough* tesla

not a pet guy, but the puppies are kinda cool interludes.... ha ha

old 60's fords and others, ALSO had "crimped" one-time-use hose clamps.....of course, the probably sold them CHEAP...!!!!

Put a LS engine in that bitch

It only needs to last as long as the warranty period. After that...

There is ONE rule for German cars. You LEASE them and give them back to the manufacturer. It doesn't make sense to buy or keep them when they are out of warranty. NONE.

Inter cooler🤔 where do I start with VW on this design? That melting stuff you see Rich on this expensive vehicle is what the dealership calls debris. You can have all the scheduled maintenance you want, but they will try to say it is something you did. Just a heads up there is no fixing that. The dealership suggestion is a new engine.

My friend is removing all of the timing belts and the pump on an A6. He had to lift out the engine and it's taken 2 Months and he's not done yet :D Dude. It's quicker to manufacture a NEW CAR than to change the Turbo filter on this POS

Who the hell is playing that flute ?!

Rich you are seriously a great guy must say, if it was me in place of you and I had to do that engine men I would pull the engine out of the bay and put some net gain warp 9 or 11 moter a zilla controller a battery n shut the hood down, man that's crazy lot of work on hard to find screws nuts n bolts men, seriously if I would be fitting it I am dead sure a dozen of bolts would not have made it to their original place in car lolz😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I hope you get it back soon.

Air jesus 13s

the only way to keep this car going without any issues with filters etc is changing your oil at least ones a year or at max 3000 km intervals. Anything less is going to create issues with clogged up filters as these engines create a ton of carbon build up inside the engine and the only way to keep this carbon from building up and settling down on the internal parts is flushing more regular with fresh oil since modern oils like Castrol & Shell have the additives that will loosen all the crude and keep it from clogging up filters. I have a V10 myself and was able to safe my engine from a clogged up oil intake screen. Only 2% of the intake holes where still visible/open the moment I pulled my oil pan. This is an issue I have seen since 1986 with the Audi 200 turbo and still up to this day is an issue when you don't do regular maintenance as in changing your oil more regular. Obviously the same goes up for our steering control and transmission oil.

Oil screen wasn't translucent because there was oil in it held in by surface tension. Blast it out with brake cleaner and it'll be translucent. I would say put it back in

The mouse tribute thing...I was in TEARS!! LMAO! As for those clamps, depending on the pressure of the system, you can replace them with regular serviceable clamps. The only reason they are typically used on OEM is because it is fast on the assembly line. Servicing is an afterthought...as you are finding out.

Just found this channel recently and I got to say I love the content very funny and true. Projects are not hyped up like some USgone do Like making a big deal of the smallest things just because there content blows Llama nutz

I feel your pain about getting frustrated working on cars. Nine times out of 10 your plan usually goes right out the window as soon as you hit a snag and now at this point you've totally lost your cool and have turn into a sailor cursing, tool throwing, finger smashing, sweaty maniac yelling in your garage like a crazy deranged caveman right after somebody stole his hunk of meat off the fire! Stages of working on a car. 😇😀😁🤨😡👿😤💣💥🤕😔🥺😥😢😫

This guy knows his stuff

“So much room for activities”, I want to shake camera guys hand

20:42 Fuck'in made me choke on me sandwich!!; 🤣🤣🤣😱

I'm litterally astonished at your focus. How did you stay on task??? I just bought a 2016 RS7, and am awaiting the delivery arrival. I'm worried sick that I'm going to have this same issue to deal with. NICE WORK by the way.

I replaced all those crimp hose clamps with just regular hose clamps

Bro do you know if the S7 have the same issue

Just use 2 oil screens in to maximize cleaning the oil for the turbo.

"more lies" lol, i was dying inside cuz I have done the exact same thing lol

Sell me your inlets!

Did Rich ever get this car back or what ?

I'm surprised you're tripping on those clamps. They're easy to snap of with a screwdriver. Yes, new clamps are needed, but you sure don't have to use those factory style ones.

Cut out the screens on those turbo filters and reinstall them so oil can pass through freely and then put small in-line filter’s that are easier to get to further back by the oil pump that feeds the turbos

This is why I buy old school European I like mercedes between 1996-2002 thats about it , no wonder these new cars depreciate so much

I wanted an AUDI A8L 3.0L diesel, but I can't do it, I couldn't afford the maintenance costs.

Hey , if your looking for a Tcu tune for the rs7 let me know . Check out my ig @ melen_tcu

So, do you still have the factory air intake? Looking for one....

Let me clear something up, EVERYTHING Volkswagen makes is an engineering disaster.

Where is the working room? How would anyone even do regular service on a car like that?

Is this video a promotion for sandwich bags?

Your channel definitely deserves my subs!

worse than the water bottle..

dog tongue ...

Seems like it was built to fail, just a completely shitty thing to do. I have a Daihatsu Rocky with a 30 year old 2.8 turbodiesel engine in it, still runs on the original turbo, no screen needed.

Can you put a hole in the filter I think the turbo is cheaper 😂

Thats why id get an RS3 lol. My A3 stage 2 has impressed me so much im sure id be plenty happy with the RS3. RS7 is just too damn complicated

Audi owns Lambo so at the end Audi won xD

Have a friend that has a rs Audi. The only upgrade are those turbos. He said it only made very little horsepower form the 7k upgrade.

I hate how I watch a video of someone putting something together and they rest the part on the floor or on bricks or anything and nothing happens....I however as soon as I put it on the floor and pick it up to put the part on its full of marks :(

Id throw the filter in the trash and use the car without the filter screw doing that job again

This is like my oil cooler seals on OM642 Merc

I'm only getting Audi and Volkswagen R ads on this video

Every time I see a dog licking a human face I can't help but be reminded that the dog cleans its arse with the same tongue!! Do these people not realise??

i got rid of my A4 cabriolet after the dealer kept breaking engine parts because replacing the same part; turbo oil screen. I will never own another Audi... fun to drive horrible experience to own

U didn't research before buying

Do RS3 have the same problem?

The vette is a dream the audi is a nightmare.

Just use high quality stainless steel regular hose clamps

Couldn't you just take the screen out completely and/or put a filter in a different location closer to its source easier to access?

Burns cash...”have a budget issue”

VW only designes the golf to be fixable.

The intro hurt me lol

Remove the screen and install an easily replaceable filter in the supply line (if there is one?)

Smartest USgoner I know 👌🏽

You Americans watch Carwow too

Change the oil every 5000 miles and the screens aren't even necessary.

"The Fatal flaw in the Audi RS7" - right there in the Name - it's an AUDI THAT's the flaw

Laughs in Ford Sierra Cosworth. Simple, 80s engineering 🤷‍♂️

The sarcasm, condescending comments, honestly you could tell me to f*** off and I'd take that as nothing more than a compliment. Love the vids, just annoying it took me so long to find.

The greatest cost the RS7 has incurred on Rich is his sanity.

I hate meeces to pieces

I love the comedy

Oetiker clamps are a pita but theyre better than the screw type imo. Get some good Oetiker compound pliers.

Buy those clamps at a irrigation store they are the same and they. Sell the tool as well

There is so much shit on the engine that actually can’t tell where the engine is

🤣 😂 shout out to AUDI ! Lol

Have your even thought about the garrett turbo rebuild kits? Have you thought about machine shops that could help make you filter flanges from scratch and you could rebuild the TURBOS all that for a wapping maybe 800$ or less so either the TURBOS are Garret or MHI aka Mitsubishi heavy industry TURBOS.. Make the filter flanges without filters and change your oil every 3k to 4k miles you should do well👍

A lot worse to service than my CLS550, it was tuned by Renn Tech. 😂😂😂

love this guy

Well Rich , welcome to german engineering , where they always believe and overcomplicating the crap out of everything. Anything vw group is a nightmare to work on

I know it's the advertising that makes you money but it's the very thing that stops me watching the videos now days

Things I NEVER want... Audi RS7 after watching this video...!!!

this kar is a hell of a funnhaver with a bigg single turbo on 50 psi

Yes mandatory puppy

Those pipe crimbs are slightly faster to build in the factory and during service, you can just put those in "misc parts" so nobody else suffers but the car owner. And he or she will probably find this out only after the warranty period is already over so factory doesn't mind.

Ooh I replaced that oil screen on S6 it was nightmare 😫
