How is everyone saying there’s worked mine didn’t again😂👎🏼

Man theres something definitely wrong with those dyno numbers should be way higher

Great video , very Helpful

With this kind of quality work, a subs is a must, Thanks a lot for sharing.

No funcionó en Jetta a 4 99

Thanks bro

I just got my 4.2 bas motor torn down. Thanks for the tip on the Vevor it will make my project much better going forward.

Thanks

Thanks buddy, I managed to change my rear actuator. I damaged a couple of door clicks but the screws keep the panel on all good. Getting the cables on was a little tricky but I did it. Thanks for your video it helped.

Thanks for this video. I just did rear brakes on my 2014 allroad and followed your VCDS instructions, made the job a breeze.

Steve, you’re a legend. Thanks for being you. So I just recently purchased a 2004 Audi Allroad 4.2 with 205,000 as my daily. Changed the oil, added some liqui moly love products, new plugs, new filters, liqui moly fuel system cleaner, etc etc etc. She just seems unhappy under load and I’ve noticed she stinks when I park in the garage. Thought my catalytic converters were clogged, and may still be. I’ve been getting intermittent B2S2 codes and today I threw a B2S1 and S2 code. It’s either being choked out by a clogged catalytic converter or something else. So, VCDS here we come. -91 - 12 degrees requested and it was met with 1-1.5 degrees variance. -92 - 12.5 degrees met with 1-2 degrees variance. -93 - B1=-8 B2=-4 I think my B1 adjuster is getting close. Womp. But, no real other issues. I need to check fuel trims next. Thanks so much for making this video. It’s wonderful. You helped me understand what I’m looking at a lot better. I wish there was a resource for this information. It’s great to see it with VCDS, but I need to understand it entirely. P.S. how hard was it to remove the downpipes? Removing the catalytic converters on my B8 S4 was a nightmare and I’m envisioning the same here. Is there room and straight paths? The B8 was 1/4” extensions x3 and wobble sockets for 4/6 nuts…😂😂😂

should this work on the passat 2.8 V6 ATQ, right?

Soup to nuts, concise, explination of how blow by is routed with turbo. Thank you.

Question: I live in Michigan, with I’m guessing similar winters and roads as you. I also run summer and winter tires/wheels. I drive a 09 B8 Avant and I need to avoid my rears from sight fender rubbing that is now happening due to my own mistake of running 275/30/20’s, 265/30/20’s were just fine with my current H&R lowering springs, but like you I well over due for new shocks and springs…. I know going back to 265’s would be the easiest fix, but if I go with the ECS style coil overs like you went with for my Avant, will this style allow me to make the adjustments on my rears to raise it so it allows enough room to drop when hitting bumps that my tires will not rub the inner fender well? I recall in your video, which was extremely helpful and well explained, you stating that you were at your max height on the rears. I’m just wondering if I should go with a different brand that has more height, adjustment or stick with the ECS brand that you have? Trying to avoid and future headaches before I dive into this. Thank you

Such a awesome engine. Nice music

I don't have the tools or the knowledge to do this job... But also, I don't trust the dealer to do it correctly either. A rock and a hard place.

I'm thinking about using a N75 off a more powerful TDI to control my vanes. My Manifold Absolute Pressure is 220kpa in 3rd at WOT. I want more boost, without paying for a tune. I can spin, do a burnout, all the way to 4th with just the mods I've already done.

Howdy, Looking for an update a year later? How does your wife feel about the ride quality? I have other brand installed and its bouncy. I'm in an allroad.

How it goes with the Stern motor mount ? not too harsh NVH ... still good after 2 years ... asking to myself if Stern mount could be the BEST choice for my RS4. Thanks for your help

7 years ago i bought this exact setup for $1500. Couldn't believe how cheap the guy was selling it for. After looking at many videos i had the shop doing the job,cut out the resonators. Now 7 years later i have 2 FI non res S4 systems and 1 Rs4 non res system and still haven't heard this system resonated, in person . Sounds great 😂

Great video. What software/website were you using for the manual instructions?

would you consider doing a upgraded fuel pump install DIY or guide for the B6/B7 S4? a pump that will be able to run E85. just a thought thank you!

What replacement filter are you using?

Fantastic as usual, thank you!

Ps you can in denmark get scandinavien control arm kit,thats better in the cold😉

I always use clear wax on the treads, when i have coilovers on my car😉 regards sören from denmark

Great job. Very detailed and honest. Rare to see expert with honest review in CZcams

Brooo I love you

oh man. Thank you for explaining this. you're the only one who actually explained how the SAI heats up the Cats. it was not making any sense to me, I kept watching videos on it, and everyone keeps explaining how the system actually works but not even touching the point as to why the SAI heats up the CATS. my brain keeps thinking that the exhaust air coming out of the engine is actually very hot so it should be the one heating up the CATS, and not the Ambient Air which is actually at a significantly lower temperature than the exhaust air. now it makes sense with the chemistry lesson you added to explain this. thank you.

My Drive shaft went all the way in but I cannot for the life of my get my waterpumps hex flange to align perfectly with it . I’ve turned the impeller of water pump to try to get a perfect fit but can’t . I’ve also used silicon spray on both gaskets . Do you have any tips ?

I've been struggling this a while, though I feel mostly because my S4 is a cabrio, which happens to have a strut pass over the fuel filter, making it more difficult to access.

Just about to do this on my 25 Quattro, impeccable timing!

I asked and I received

When’s the next d2 video?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Spend ~90mins trying to figure it out. VERY HELPFUL!

Yooooo thank you! I thought this shit was broken. It was opening so fn low life saver !

Thank you so very much, Small helpful hint for the neighborhood. Have a friend hammer one side while you do the other, that way it unfreezes much easier and quicker. That way you won’t be screaming in your stripped backseat wondering will I ever get this thing off.

Can I remove the air pump and block the holes without a tune? I have to smog test it, so cant have a check engine light on. Also have gutted cats

Hi Hannes here in south africa a have a s4 b6 strakkel with cooling system fan is not working

You need an RS4

Can VCDS show when your cam and crankshaft are at TDC?

really good breakdown thank you for this. quality video

Job well done man 👍🏽

Thank You very good Video!!!

Hahahaha I bought an allroad cuz I love the shape and the fenders, and Im gonna slam it on coils or airbags haha. Kinda funny buying the car meant for off road capabilities an lowering it :p Lowroad gang

Thanks a million! Your video saved me a pile of money! Well done 😊

What about SAI codes i.e. codes from air pump and vac solenoid, will they pop up and how do you turn them off?

Thank you

This was close enough to follow for a USDM B8.5 2.0T allroad. I ground down a medium-sized flat head screwdriver to make the tip dull for the union nut; chisels and sharper screwdrivers would eventually break the ribs off the nut while loosening. I poured out the fuel in the pump basket as there was sediment in the bottom. After reassembly, priming, and starting, the sputtered and ran very rough for 20 seconds then smoothed out, presumably after the low-pressure line refilled. There might be a VCDS output to run the in-tank pump longer to purge air.
