I rebuilt a wrecked Audi RS6 that i bought from auction and then sent it all the way to America to take part in the car show SEMA. But moments into driving the RS6 in LA the engine seized, so now we have to find out why and start rebuilding this car out in the US.

matt always bringing the positive vibes no matter the car 👑
I’ve never seen youtube comment on one creators videos so much. He absolutely deserves the recognition
Ya it definitely resembles cocaine, but the eyes are not indicative of that, but just look at the behavior.
CZcams meat riding like crazy on every video.
Yt
This will be one of his biggest challenges, that engine is toast. C’mon Mat, you can do it.
Matts Dad thinking "I was so close to retiring"... Now busier than ever...he makes my day !
Love the enthusiasm
Love the generosity of Tavarish too ...he's a proper mate
Tony is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs
„Engine very bad!“ 😢
Such patience,i have so much admiration for you both
Bro, I wish I had a father like yours that even thought we had the biggest problem in the world , to laugh and say, it’s ok, we’re fixing it!
He is a great pillar for your work and succes in the channel content !
Keep up with this amazing journey and God bless your father , mate ! ✌🏻
This Matt and Freddy friendship is the best thing to happen on CZcams. Avengers level crossover
Freddie didn’t even appear in the video
@@ShoaibKhan-yr4wpdid you watch it
This is the only channel on CZcams where I have to completely stop what I am doing when I get a notification Mat has uploaded a new video just to watch it.
Legend!!
Same!
Same here :)
Same 😂
Haha same..!!😄
Freddie is clearly a very generous guy and good friend to let Matt and crew use his workshop. Looking forward to the new engine going in.
Five Nights at Freddies
I love the way Mat and his Dad can work so well together
Your videos are literally my favorite notification I get from CZcams… I’ve worked with my dad for my entire adult career (I’m 46 now) and I’ve gotta say your dynamic with him is awesome, it dosent go that way for all of us!! As an Audi guy whose wife likes to drive their mapped car let’s all learn a hard lesson from this!!! Keep that positive energy flowing bro, you guys are fun to watch!!!
Matt no matter how bad a car is, he’s still smiling and laughing
Because he's getting paid
Of course he is laughing (..........all the way to the bank). He gets paid a lot of money for the drama, no matter whether it's failure or success.
true
And audi always want his car back
It's so true
see you soon buddy!
Thanks again Freddy ❤️
Why is your p1 under the same room as matts audi tho
@@niklassrk That is Freddy's garage.
@@Silentslayer998 oh really ?
Your Dad is amazing, such a positive great attitude. You too, such an inspiration to others. Love the videos, I feel your pain, but very encouraged by the can do attitude. Keep up the great work guys!
I seriously enjoy watching your videos Mat. What is so fantastic to see is the following you have. After the last video I read through the comments and saw a fair few people suggesting that the 91 fuel could be the reason for the engine blow-up. What a stunning crowd!! I hope the rebuild isn't too painful, we're all on your side.
I’ve never seen that much damage done before to an engine! Good job we investigated 😅
unlucky
Nice mat😂
If it started to knock, then the ECU should have detected that and reduced the ignition advance almost instantaneously.
How much cost a new block ?
After watching this video, I am never... E V E R buying an Audi.
That V8 looks like all my worst nightmares on a car combined into one gigantic clusterfuck of a mechanical disaster just waiting to happen and all it took to blow it up was some shit fuel.
I don’t know if anyone else is the same but when I’m watching I check how long left every few mins because I just don’t want the video to end 😢 Hopefully won’t be too expensive Matt 🤞
That’s me 😮
Exactly it just gets more gripping edge of your seat stuff
If there is a catastrophe, then it is even better for the channel (more viewers = more money). That is how this business works. Many of Mat's projects wouldn't be probably worth doing it without money from CZcams.
Love your videos and especially your enthusiasm when it comes to cars. Your ability to self teach yourself and now the flock of friends you have to get advice and help from is amazing. Keep doing what ya love!
Amazing that you guys stay upbeat when disaster strikes! Proud of ya, keep battling on!
Big shout out to Tavarish for letting Matt use his facility again. Two top blocks together 👍👍👍
He gets air time.. MORE INCOME
Matt, I was never really into cars. But you explain everything so very well, that it is easy understandable for every car noob. The positivity that you and your dad are bringing every video again is so inspiring. I can't wait until the next video drops.
How you guys can smile amazes me. I'd be in tears.
Your channel is awesome Mat. Only CZcams videos I can't wait to watch IN FULL, no skipping. Thank you
Well done Freddie for this help and use of his garage 🇬🇧 👊 🇺🇸
You can just tell Mat and his dad are genuinely good guys. Makes it a pleasure to watch their success.
They enjoy the life YouTubing has provided!
@@theglitch99 The way Mat's Dad laughs :D :D
This is the first CZcams channel - I never skip a second on!
I like how things are just done, not 5 minutes of working and 20 minutes of talking or B-rolls.
And the only channel I’ve activated the notification bell !
Keep onto going on the route you are on! Great content 🥳
B is for b-roll 😅
You guys are absolute legends something like this would derail most people out there but you have you and your dad grafting at it no matter the odds
Matts Channel survives & thrives on disasters. It’s the fundamental principle of any good story. Conflict and beating misfortune to eventually triumph. Go Matt!!!!!!!
Matt your dad is amazing. Cherish every moment you spend together because, as I discovered 5 yrs ago, our hero’s don’t last forever 😢
Amen…
Or aren't hero's at all.
Great pity post!
@@Jimmythefish577 great "being a d***" post 👌
@@TheTechnoaddict Tony is my Hero😁😁
”Engine very bad” is now a non forgettable quote. Totally up there with…. “Computer says no” 😂
Love the vids. Keep it up 👍 👋🇸🇪
😂😂😂
but will there be a tshirt with this 😂
Definitely needs to be on a T shirt 😂
As a proud member of the Check Engine Light gang, I'd definitely buy an "Engine very bad" t-shirt or hoodie!
Although lets face it, at this point it's less of an engine and more of a paper weight, or a coffee table perhaps 😂
Mat. I’ve been watching your channel over a year now and mate it’s the best thing on any media device. I look forward to your brilliant episodes. Honestly fantastic work and super inspiring. Keep it up buddy! I’m sure some a tv channel will soon pick you up if they haven’t already. I don’t think I want them to tbh.
Good to see the route cause identified. Loved this video and the process that went into the identification of the issue. Now it's a case of what comes next? Can't wait.
Love the RS6, but wow is that engine such a crazy design to work on. As soon as I saw the cylinders I thought…yeah I know what that is. No good…. Can’t wait to see it fixed
Sadly this is all german cars... the tech is nice but if you work on your own stuff it's a lot nicer to pop the hood on a ford/chevy and actually be able to SEE the motor
@@joshb8209People do work on modern German "premium" cars here in Europe a lot. It's all sort of logical just tight and fiddly. You make fixing these sound like rocket science 🙄
@@joshb8209 It has nothing to do with the origin of the car. This is what you get when you want to get crazy amounts of power out of a combustion engine while at the same time keep emissions as low as possible. But just get a Ford model T and you can wrench every problem away
This guy at least on video seems like the most mild mannered nicest dude on the internet. Watching the way he works with his dad and others is inspiring. I have become a big fan of Matt Armstrong.
Hi Matt, I love your channel and have followed your videos from the Porsche rebuild in the States. Your down to earth and explaining everything as you go superb. All the best, and I really believe of all the rebuild channels yours has to be up there with the best.
Mat i applaud your positive attitude through this. You’re an amazing man. Smart and blessed with a great team by your side. You sir are a joy to watch work on cars.
any other youtuber would leave us with a cliffhanger , here we got the explanation right away, and with a smile. Matt is something quite different . No wonder he is skyrocketing the subs . Keep up the good work, and also - props to all commenters from the previous video that called detontation due to wrong octane .
Tavarish, what a legend! Love how chilled Matt and his dad is when a car is effectively totalled! I’m sure it’ll be roaring in no time! Keep up the good work, your smashing life bro!
Well it helps that he isn’t broke, and that he has half a dozen cars at home 😂
More content=more money 😂
well it's not really totaled. They just need to restore engine block and a new engine head and it should be fine.
Yeah, but what would getting upset change? It happened, the engine's buggered so now the only way out is to fix it/replace and implement changes for future so it doesn't happen again.
Mat and your dad hat's off also Freddie for the warm welcome back and a good stay God bless thumbs up 👍 and fingers always crossed 🤞
Matt would only laugh with you not at you, such fantastic resolve from you and your Dad to get on a deal with whatever poop hits the fan and keep us all up to date. I have hit the subscribe button, a minor thanks for all the entertaining good work.
Maybe Mat You can now a build an high performance engine like DDE f12 for RS6 with all custom engine parts like pistons and all the stuff who know maybe converting it into a full race car with pre designed roll cage like michel essa's drift taxi cause i have never seen an Audi RS6 race car🙌🙌🙌🙌
Only a couple minutes into the video, and I just want to say your editing/storytelling has become really good. You can really see it develop over the years. Keep it up dude!
That's alot of engine trouble which must have cost abit. Good thing yall checked it out. I love to see how Uncle Mat always remains positive.
As always, a brilliant video, very interesting too! A lesson to all of us with tuned engines to use good fuel!!
What you accomplished in the time you did is something to be very proud of. Keep up the positive energy!
You mean building one of the ugliest cars in existence out of a wonderful RS6 and then blowing up the engine with the wrong fuel? The only thing he can be proud of is how much money he is making with this bs.
@@Triggerboy78 may be ugly to you but your preference isn’t the preference of everybody. And a simple mistake of wrong fuel? It wasn’t like he rebuilt the engine, did it wrong and then blew up. I think you shouldn’t get so “triggered” no one is forcing you click on this video, if you don’t like it do yourself a favour and stop watching
Nearly 2m subscribers now, couldn’t happen to a nicer guy - hands down my favourite channel on CZcams 👌
This is the best way to learn. As you will definitely never forget this expensive mistake.
Love you're attitude dude🫡
Let the wheels keep rolling 👏
Matt thanks for putting out such quality content. Love the channels! Bummer on the RS6, but I'm still living vicariously through your exploits, and loving every minute of it! 👍🏾
Hey Mat, every modern Engine have Knocking Sensors. If you put bad fuel like 95 Octane in the Tank, the Car automatically change the Ingition for the Conditions.
The Tuner has to recalibrate the Maps for that. But if you turn Off the Knocking System or Component Protection the Car will do everytime the same Performance also with bad Fuel. Otherwise your Engine Pistons or other Components can be broken like in your Video.
Greetings from Germany ✌🏻
Wahrscheinlich wurde das nicht berücksichtigt
he talked about in the last video or the one before that the fuel and tune probably was the reason
This
I also posted something similar. It wasn't just the fuel, as the knock sensor would have protected the engine from pre--ignition. Something probably happened during the remap that bypassed that safety. 100% user error.
Exactly..a very bad tuner is the cause, not just the fuel.
man you explain things very precise and clear, this is the only channel I feel like I get entertainment and education at the same time, can watch you all day, keep them coming bro love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰❣❤
Hey Mat I'm Jonathan from southern Africa and I love the content you post and no lie you've motivated me a lot to follow my passion with cars....and that passion is exactly what you do...much love and blessings and I pray one day to work with you.
Honestly your channel is amazing, all the work you put in to make awesome content is insane, I think all we now need is “engine very bad” merch as that would be really cool
Wounded for you mate, just been watching back all your original videos, baffles me how you keep your cool and still enjoy it, as a tech myself the urge to set fire to this would be unreal! Keep smiling and doing what you’re doing! ✌🏼
The money from 1mil (& growing) subscribers keeps it schweeet
@@fasttrackblastback8286 2mill, almost.
This is one of my absolute favorite channels! Thank you for taking us on this adventure with you. I enjoy watching Mat grow as a mechanic, to the point where he’s now educating his fans. Thank you for the entertainment and education!
wow! You guys love cars and engineering. I recently lost my bro in law who taught himself to fix any car; relly skillful with his hands. he had such a passion for cars. RIP Malcolm.
Love it Mat, not sure how you stay so positive after news like that, I'm sure there were a few bad words that didn't make it to the vid 🙂, keep doing what you're doing mate, best channel on CZcams.
❤ Restoration Time 😂
Where have you been? love watching your stuff 👍
Good to see you're alive 😀
Your dad's laugh when he knows its all gone sidewise is amazing!
Tavarish is a top man for lending you a space in the shop, mad props
Never thought you could get a hole in your engine block if you use lower octane fuel after remap.
This channel turns into a car documentary.
Keep up the good work!
Normally you shouldn't, unless the tuner disabled the knock sensor and other engine protection systems to make it easier to map. It could very well still be down to a poor re-map
It's unfortunate that this is going to be so expensive to fix, but I feel like these are the painful lessons about modification / tuning that are worth learning as you go. Hope you can get this beast back on the road for minimal outlay!
An expensive fix that I feel like the tuner should have warn them about or built into the tune. Maybe the tuner told them, not sure I would trust them.
1mil views in 19 hours, this video has already paid for the fix, dont worry yourself 🤣
@@MegaBlobbs well, indeed.. calamity breeds content! So.. I am sure he wasnt completely distraught about it blowing up! :-)
£50k+ in CZcams views in 24 hours should pay for an engine.
What’s the fix for this?
The RS6 was rebuilt in a tight timeframe and it still Looked crazy at the end, amazing build Mat great to see one of your cars at sema✌️
Thanks 👍
I have a 2017 Audi S7, same motor and it is a PITA to work on.... the most cramped engine bay ive ever seen. To change plugs is a 4 hr nightmare! And to watch you guys rip that motor out and tear into it was impressive lol...Love watching you and your dad !
What a team matt! You lot can fix anything with hard work! Dam 91 fuel was a costly mistake really enjoyed the diagrams and how it works. Cheers
It’s so obvious to me, that Mat, as so many of us, have watched the “real” top gear lads: Jeremy, James and Richard for so many years. Mat drops some lingo and phrases every ones In a while. And I love it!
The "source of the river Nile" definitely hinted at that! 😂
Mat, you’re a true positive influence. There is always challenges, but you always have a smile on your face.
I hope your channel and success grows so large that you can own a workshop both in Leicester and Florida (or somewhere in the US) {FLORIDA}, so we can get the chance to buy or see your work. Keep it coming bro! Bubbles all day! My stage 1+ b9 RS5 needs you.
Genuinely the cleverest, slickest integration of a paid promotion I’ve seen on a vid of this type. Hate RS6s but I love how mad this build is so wishing you the best with it. 👍
Brilliant videos everyone, good luck with fixing it. On the bright side it makes some good content!
Your dad is a legend. Smiles for miles 😀 no matter what happening ✊
Fair play man , when faced with a major problem you all greet it with smiles and laughs. 😁
Freddie really is a gem coming to the rescue and letting you use his workshop.
You did more than well to get it to Sema , i saw it in hard up garages coverage last week.
You are all legendary, all of you together is great to watch
How you keep a smile on your face throughout is amazing. Loving the content.
So, so very sorry to see this issue, and that you are all having to deal with it on the other side of the world. It's great that Freddy is able to help you with his shop, the irony is that you are surrounded by two other buggered Audi R8's. I am glad you are able to get it sorted, and look forward to the next steps. It is also a big lesson for all of us about cheap gas in a high performance motor. I even went back and watched your explaination again, I learn so much from your channel. Good luck Mat, Tony, and Matt, get it done!!
Your passion for this absolutely shines through on your videos. Amazing to see!
It's amazing to see that no matter what you always have a smile on your face and see the positives. Love that
Loving the content, also the blossoming Bromance with Freddie. Looking forward to seeing more of You and Freddie colaborating :)
Love the energy Matt! Even though everything goes south you are still smiling, joking and laughing. Keep up the amazing content!
Mat, kudos to you and your dad for such wonderful videos. it was painful to see the damage but there's where the fun begins...Hard Work beats everything!
Anybody else would be freaking out, Matt just laughs and takes it his stride! Legend.
Absolutely extraordinary guys on this channel which make it soo successful and why all other YT car channels are falling over themselves to be associated with MA.☺☺
But he's dying inside😂
@@Cpm_legit54 Nah he just sees it as more content for his channel. Mats positive attitude is exactly why this channel is one of the fastest growing on YT and everyone wants a piece of him.
@@wcads623 🙏
Amazing to see how resilient you guys are in the face of adversity - well done
Love the bond you and your dad have, I loved seeing the clip at the end of the lambo spotting flames and you and your dad losing it at the same time lmao. Keep up the amazing videos and keep on making your dads life exciting 🤘🏼🤙🏼
Mat you are an inspiration. You and your dad make a great team so sorry for your engine misfortune but tbh it makes quality viewing hope everything goes good for you.
Keep going Matt and Dad I love watching and leaning I wouldn’t have realised it was the octane that had caused the problem
I love how you breakdown what’s going on. Breakdown Master. Keep up the hard work. You inspire. Love the videos.
Matts explanations are very simple & straight forward 👌👌💯💯
This is definitely THE BEST CZcams Channel about rebuilding cars, so much fun 😂😂 Even promoting CarVertical at the point I wanna buy it beside I don't need it.
Your videos are always entertaining but also so educational. I'm so glad I found your channel.
The level of skill, hard work and innovation you put into each episode is absolutely incredible. I am in awe of you all! Keep on keeping on Mat!
I agree 1000%! It’s insane how they’re able to seamlessly just take cars apart diagnose and put them back together. Also shout out to Tavarish for allowing them to use his shop 🙌🏼🙌🏼
hey Mat, i just feel bad about this to happen BUT i know you'll comeback even stronger and rebuild it! CAN'T WAIT!!
You and your dad are the most positive focused people I’ve ever watched 👍
Holy moly, and there was me thinking it was bad when I had water coming out of the Jenvey throttle bodies of my Pug 205 Hillclimb motor. Mat Armstrong, if it was a damage competition - you win !
Ahh Matt a little setback bud, but Thank goodness for Tavaris and the use of his workshop. “Save the RS6”!
you have to do what you can to get the car running. You’ve done a brilliant job on her so far 😊
Keep us updated with your progress on the engine rebuild.
Good luck
B🫶
I've been on the edge of my seat waiting for the next upload. You've got me hooked mate. You're killing it .
Who needs sky subscription, Netflix, amazon prime , eastenders when you have such a delightful chap like this guy !! The only one Chanel I never fast forward ⏩.. so engaging from start to finish . Awesome content my guy !!
I'm sorry for you Mat😢
I love your rs6 and your project is magnificent.. I hope everything goes well and I hope you solve the problem, definitely changing the
motor. Good luck Mat.. good work ❤️
Always a good way to end my day with a video from Mat .love from South Africa ❤
🇿🇦 I really admire your hard work and spirit. You are an inspiration and a role model Matt. I'm motivated through your consistent content. Lot's of love❤ from South Africa
You are truly amezing! because you take all problem with a smile😁 I would be pissed and run away from that car, crazy how you and your dad just toke that engine out🦾
Poor Tony - he wanted a nice and relaxing few days at wet & wild…..
Although a terribly costly engine failure - it makes for great content Matt - thanks for educating us all.
Mat, you’re a legend. Your vids are always a joy 2 watch!
Freddy's shop works like a magnet on cars with water damage😁
BTW if the engine is completely busted just do an LS swap for shits and giggles 😁
Man come on look at that RS engine its already a race engine. The LS is fricking truck engine🤣🤣
@@wcads623 I bet you an LS eninges is lighter, more compact and a LOT more reliable. And if god forbids, something like this happens, cheaper to fix as well.
@@horvathr95 yep but to get the same power out of an LS would cost a hell of a lot more than the Audi motor.
Fantastic work guys. Really intelligent presentation and analysis of issues. Your dedication is impressive. Wish you lots of success.
Great video and hope the repair goes well. One little nit pick, a spark plug will fire before tdc not on tdc, this allows the spark to fully ignite air fuel mixture and have optimal power to push piston back down on the power stroke. This timing is actually changed when mapping the car
Every vid has a moment of Tony gold 😂 "you can see my brain"
Mat is living the dream and gets to do it with his dad at his side ❤
Yep priceless life experience for both.😁😁 Wish I could do the same with my son.
