  • Welcome to another video.
    This time we have a customer bringing us an engine which was removed from Audi A4 B8 with potential issues . Owner stated that only the oil pump seized up and it just needed to be refreshed. I was very sceptical about it but after I warn him several times that engine without oil pressure will be scrap he Bring it to us anyways and this is what we found ...
    Thank you for watching

    Thanks to the increase in the quality of oils, German engines showed only slight signs of wear after 850,000 km. In 1998, there was a big meeting of car manufacturers where they agreed that they would produce scrap , due to the economic circulation of money and parts. That is all guys. ✅✅✅Save planet. ✅✅✅

    I bought a 2012 Q5 and the cylinder head looked similar, although only 1 journal was damaged. I welded it to bring the material backup, then line bored the journal back to size with the originals. Still going after 20k km.

      My thought exactly. Worked for a top fuel team where they also did this after journals were damaged, They ran fine again for a few runs (I mean it's 10+k hp, so don't expect reliability) but welding and line boring is fine for daily driven/tuned engines.

Best mechanic I've been to. I had PCV valve done ( oil mixing with coolant ) and had wheel bearings changed, brakes, fuel filter...amazing work. Just need to get timing chains done for my B8 S4. Can't recommend these guys any more highly. They're the real deal and my local garages wouldn't even touch my car when I needed the PCV valve changed. So much for helping out the local mechanic when some of them don't have a clue what they're doing themselves and only wanna do services and change brakes all day...

    I bought a 2012 VW GTI 2.0 with Unitronic Stage1+ Engine, Stage 1 DGS+ 3" Stainless steel Magnaflow exhaust, all APR carbon fiber intake and pretty much everything else under the hood, non running though, not sure if there was shavings in the pan never got to the point of taking that off but head looked a lot worse than that and cylinder walls were scored, excessive play of turbo-prop shaft, the whole nine yards, so to speak.
    So I bought a crashed/salvaged 2013 GTI off the insurance auction with 46,000 miles on it, carried over the whole thing Engine+DSG+Front Subframe, threw in new timing and and APR Head studs, new coolant pump, not because 46k miles engine needed that but because with engine being out of the car, there will be never be more convenient time to do this.
    So, to make a long story short, the donor with 46K miles, where I took Engine, DSG, Steering rack and other parts of front suspension costed me $4600 with all auction fees, delivered to my house. These VW being mass produced cars, there are always plenty to choose from out of less lucky ones that got in to accident but engine being still good, I don't see much reason to have these fully rebuilt. Yeah, headwork is fine, if timing jumped, reseat new valves, resurface, new valve seals ok but attempting to rebuilt the whole engine, I don't know, especially if you are in US, UK where labor costs are quite high, I don't think so.

      I've this engine in my 2010 seat leon (1p). I had this problem 6 years ago - it drank oil like crazy, it had around 80k km at that time. I'm not 100% sure how much oil it was, i think 1 dcl on 100km or something like that. Really crazy numbers.
      I did my research and got lucky -- somebody on octavia forums (czech web page) explained me what is going on, what is the problem with this engine and how should one fix it.
      VW published TPI about this too.
      Issue is with the type of oil piston rings used in this engine. They used drilled through ones which were causing issues. I used grooved ones which fixed the issue. I was lucky to find a good garage that was willing to do this against TPI. Why ? Official service wanted to change the pistons to versions that had different wrist pin size and hence new rods had to be used.
      Pistons from older type, BZB, fits just nicely. That's what I used -- BZB pistons. Aftermarket, KOLBENSCHMIDT 40251600.
      Btw. this engine had issues with cam chains too, they were snapping prematurely basically killing the engine.
      After this service engine oil consumption is 0. It's been almost 7 years of testing and I've no problems. Tested it at speeds > 200km/h for prolonged time (highway), driving in town, cold weather, hot weather .. nothing, every time I check the oil it's where it should be.
      I was told to open a dispute against VW, I think this was actually done in US. But I really didn't want to be dragged in courts. Especially when I have no knowledge how to proceed, etc.
      I paid about 2500EUR at that time and I don't regret it.

I get safety rehu;ations yada yada stuff, but as someone living in South Africa, it is virtually impossible to import these cars and parts etc. I see many other poorer countries benefitting from these so they can also atleast have acvcess to such technologies.

      @davidcolin6519 Před 6 měsíci

      The scoring would cause the crankshaft to eventually seize ("eventually" being a few thousand revolutions, I'd guess. Metal-on-metal ends in a friction weld ). That would cause the camchain to break, resulting in the pistons coming into intimate contact with the valves. Bent valves, bent conrods and the possibility of the bent controds making a break for freedom out of the side of the cylinder or down through the sump.

      Right but then he has no idea the maintenance intervals or care that was involved in the junkyard motor, this way if he really wants the car to stay on the road, he'll have a fully rebuilt engine and know that everything is good, and all of the wearables have been replaced.
      Not the cheapest option, but I'm guessing it's something like his wife's car. My father just did the same for my mother, she loves the 2012 CC even though it's a money pit. Rather than deal with the double headache - just pay the money and move on if you have it.

    Modern engines are not built to be rebuildable. They have a finite service life, and when problems occur outside that finite service life, the engines are either so bad they are not economic to repair, or in many cases parts are not available. Many issues with modern common rail diesel engines, are related to fuel system problems, and I would guess its very common for engines to be "repaired" or replaced, and for failure to occur again very soon. If you have major engine problems on a car or van, probably best to scrap it, as trying to get it "repaired" may well end up costing more than the vehicle value..................

    • @paradiselost9946

      no engine was designed to last forever, and all engineers can do is calculate bearing stresses, torsional loads, blah blah.
      and how to make it. as quickly and cheaply as possible so they can make lots of them and sell them...
      i look at an old B&S. its cheap, its common. sure, i can swap this, change that... lots of compatibility...
      can machine out bearings and reline sleeves, but in the end...
      why bother? theyre cheap and common. fun to play on, not worth reviving when stuffed.
      old engines are just as bad to work on but teh difference is that often theres no replacements at all and someones willing to pay... to make a set of patterns to make a new head, then machine it, for that obscure 1914 cast iron lump that someone found in a shed...
      to weld those magnesium cases from a 1984 CR125, then jig up and machine the water pump housing again...
      to throwing a new DOHC on the mill and reboring the camjournals...
      its only worth it when someone wants to pay or theres some sort of personal satisfaction... (like le dan and allen millyard with their... frankensteins...)
      when parts and labour costs more than a new vehicle...

      @@paradiselost9946 Rubbish! The main reason for modern engine failure, is due to issues with electronic control systems.
      There are of course designed in self-destruct features on the engines themselves, such as the "wet belt" camshaft drive system on some Fords.
      Many engines from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, are still going strong, with some of them having far better spare part support than anything current.
      Back in the day engines tended to get designed by engineers, not by accountants, mainly interested in passing the latest BS emission standards as cheaply as possible!
      Every time the emission rubbish is tightened up, more cheaply made Chinese electronics get hung on vehicles, and they become even more unreliable.
      The purpose of all of this seems to be to curtail, any private ownership of powered personal transport? That obviously includes EVs, whose insurance costs will soon be far too costly for most owners to afford.

    • @mickymac6571

      A combination of poor design ( wet belt instead of a chain,why?) Poor components and trying to ring every bit of power out of it for economy and long service intervals all contribute. I had a Volvo C70 petrol with 228000 miles on it when I sold it,just bought a S60 d5 with 208'000 miles on it. Regular servicing is the key,oil and filter are a cheap mechanic.

      @@humourless682 I'd suggest you put that colander back on your head.
      The idea that engines in the 50s,60s and 70s were more reliable should be obviously laughable. My parents had original minis at that time and those engines rarely hit 100k! Even engines form the 70s were not much better. I would trust a Kent engine to go much more than 200K.
      And those engines drank like petrol was going out of fashion. 25-30mpg was the norm for even a basic, cheap family car. I never saw more than 32mpg from my mkII Escort.
      I would agree that engines tended to be designed by engineers, not accountants. But that would only apply to engines coming from Germany, France and Italy. UK engines were barely designed at all, and that was usually about 30 years before anything else on the market. Italian engines tended to be reasonably well designed, but were let down by absolutely hopeless electrics and appalling ancillaries, while French engines tended to be interesting while also being competent. Germany earned its reputation in this period.
      Unfortunately, Germany's reputation has been entirely squandered over the past couple of decades, and so many German engines just seem to be designed to fail .Plastics that are heat cycled, dual mass flywheels and American business practices have led to the decimation of Germany's famed reputation for engineering and thus reliability.
      What I find truly amazing is that so many people still believe the BS about German engineering these days.
