***update*** PLEASE READ!!! I called Eaton about my 2013 S5, they said it’s a tvs-r 1320 supercharger and fill it with 155ml of oil. I drained mine and barely any came out!!!!! When I “put in what I took out” it only was a quarter of that tiny 5 fl oz bottle Audi sells you. So thats only like 151 out of 155 ml!! So I need another bottle just to top off that 4ml left. Awesome video regardless!! 🔥 💯
just when i star thinking i may buy an other B8 s4 because i miss my old one you start uploading a shit ton of diy videos on the 3.0t platform, i guess that's a sign i should buy one lmao
Thank you - this is great video and was exactly the information I needed for the supercharger - I just bought S4 2011. Excellent stuff guys - thank you!
Your channel has been very informational on maintaining A7. I know you said there isn't any mileage recommendation for the supercharger oil change, but what do you guys think is a responsible time frame for a daily driver on a 2012 A7... 0 track days, only the occasional overtakes or aggressive driving.🤔 p.s.. i already replaced the plugs and ignition coils, valve gasket is next based on your recommendations👍🏼
Hi, I have done this exactly as explained. Really great and helpfull......but as I opened the screw just approx 20ml oil came of. I moved the supercharger as you did, but no more oil came of. I had no problem with the supercharger, and did it just in the process of changing the pcv..... what should i do now. Is there a rest of 100ml in the system I cannot fill it up. Was there really only a bit of oil the system? How can I go on? Thanks in advance Marcus
I love your videos, very helpful... can you please make one on how to replace your differential fluid and transmission fluid ( manual transmission) thank you.
@@fcpeuro That would actually be a good one to see!!! The 6MT fluid change, nothing on CZcams for it! I believe in the 6MT the manual transmission fluid is a shared unit with the front/center differential if I remember reading that correctly on an Audi forum! Mine drained 3 quarts at a warm temperature but then needed more for top up after driving which made a huge difference! So 3.8 quarts to fill (spill out the side) on my 2013 b8.5 S5....used the Redline MT-90 for mine, shifts like butter now
I own a B8.5 SQ5 and I've just passed 90k miles on the car. I've been looking at a bunch of DIY videos on the engine's maintenance, and i wholeheartedly disagree that this engine is reliable like people say. Thay statement carries a very big asterisk next to it because just like in this video, and countless others, there is a bold statement that says: "while your supercharger is off, you should go ahead and change the PCV valve, thermostat, water pump" not to mention doing a valve cleaning, intercoller cores, and even timing chain valve guides. All this work can cost upwards of $10,000+ EASY. and these maintenance procedures are being commonly done at lower than average intervals, not uncommon for people to do them at 20-40k miles, just for peace of mind because of the fear of parts failing (which again, is very common) so this idea that the engine is reliable is an overstatement when you factor in the amount of work and money you have to put into the car out of precaution and preventative maintenance. That is not the definition of reliable. I am in no way bashing Audi, I'm simply saying what many whisper simply because the majority of Audi lovers easily throw around the word "reliable" with this engine ignoring the fact that you have to see easily pay thousands, to perform the work at indy shops and dealerships because many arent mechanically inclined.
Reliable comes down to the motor being able to take the extra power of modding and stay strong for 200k miles or more when maintained. Sure the maintaining is more costly, but know what you're getting before you get it. There are cars you can maintain the shit out of, and they'll have motors failing and trans that won't last 100k miles.
I have to service my Valve cover on my 2013 Audi S5. I read that it’s best to remove the coolant reservoir. To make the job easier. Will I have to bleed the system too?
Well demonstrated as always! Just a thought, could this be done without removing the supercharger and using a manual extractor pump? I use one for doing oil changes on my E46 M3, it's great for removing it all straight from the bottom of the sump through the dipstick tube, I just wondered if it could be used on these. My guess is that access would be problematic? I wasn't aware that these were serviceable, good to know as I've just recently acquired an S4 B8 which came with a stage 2+ including the dual pulley upgrade.
If you don’t wanna take it off, can a fluid extractor be used and then like a big syringe to put new oil back in? I’m lazy and I know if I take it off I might as well send it out to get ported 😂🤣
I'm having a hard time getting the air out of my system so I rented the vacuum bleeder from Autozone. Will I need to drain the system? It doesn't look like you guys drained yours but in the section where you are using the tool it looks like the reservoir is suddenly empty.
Have you done much work on the supercharger clutch? Do you know what tool is required for engaging the new clutch on replacement? Is it just a specific voltage to engage it?
Just got a b8.5 s4 with 82k on the clock (miles). Any signs that'll point to the oil needing to be changed? Or like a miles where you should as good maintenance? I did just today put a 187 crank pulley on there...guess I should do this anyways?
Out of curiosity, what was the mileage on this vehicle. I get there's no service interval for this, but man was that oil filthy! I'm at 70k right now and think I'm going to do this and probably a new belt soon.
Can anyone help give me some guidance with this coolant leak on my 2015 Audi S4 . The shop wants to charge 665 remove and replace cooling system crossover line and 997 remove and replace supercharger assembly. This seems really expensive to me. This is just the labor. The total comes out to like 2700 to replace coolant pipe
Great video. What would this service cost at an Audi dealership? Also, those vacuum you pull from coolant reservoir- are thee for sale ? Other then that, seems pretty straight forward. Only video I’ve seen regarding this service on YT .
Hello. and first thanks for the video it was very helpful in replacing the compressor oil. But there was absolutely no oil on mine? I filled it 150 ml. on. But where is the old oil. the car has driven 210,000 km. I have not started it up yet
@@mikecarb0 @nicolajahm Same for me tonight, no oil in mine. Did you have yours rebuilt? Mine was not making any unusual noise at all and the input shaft turned smoothly.
Hi Valentina, the oil is Genuine Audi/VW fluid and is linked in the description below the video! czcams.com/users/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbDRIZFZLMHNmdk5tRlZJaFhvUkFBaV83ckpyd3xBQ3Jtc0ttelo3TlRPNDdQREZRa3NjeUlxNnpGSjM5eFhTcW8xekliWjBKNE9FNXkwTm9ZWXhTWEVuZVpNRVItcEY0Ylp4R1hXVXhhc1doRHJrcFFEU21YY0o0VDVvUDFWYm8tOUh2ZWxHbmtHY2UxM3JDOXYzbw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fcpeuro.com%2Fproducts%2Fvw-oil-genuine-vw-g070000a1%3FDyoutube%26Ddescription%26Dmps%2520audi%2520b8%26Dsupercharger%2520oil%2520&v=3eWbAfXQ4rg
My supercharger didn't have any oil! I took it off to change the thermostat, water pump, and PCV. Nothing came out of the SC. Is that normal? I filled it with 150 ml SC oil that I ordered from you guys.
Its definitely possible it was airlocked, and no oil came out. It would be hard to say for sure without being able to look at the car, you may want to have it looked at locally
I thought the same. However if you flip Scharger vertically, pulley up. Oil will then drain from behind pulley well area. Left mine 5 min then drained as video showed. Got about 120ml.
“Lifetime” oil just like the ZF trans and diff fluids.... thanks FCP for sharing all these awesome 3.0T vids

How do you bleed the system old school? Step by step instructions? How do I access the heater core and that hose u mention

Get supercharger fluid changed and carbon cleaning at the same time since it will already be removed for access while you’re in there
Super clean video good job you guys 🙏🙏question it’s the supercharger oil change mandatory ??thanks
Glad you like the video! It is recommended to replace the supercharger oil, to prolong the life of the supercharger between rebuilds.
I'm having a hard time getting the air out of my system so I rented the vacuum bleeder from Autozone. Will I need to drain the system? It doesn't look like you guys drained yours but in the section where you are using the tool it looks like the reservoir is suddenly empty.
Excellent video. What was the vacuum pressure psi?
I legit just dumped the supercharger, and then emptied the little oil bottle into it. Is that bad?
Have you done much work on the supercharger clutch? Do you know what tool is required for engaging the new clutch on replacement? Is it just a specific voltage to engage it?
which oil did you use for filling up? thanks for this impresive diy video.
What kind of oil does the SC use ??
