  • I bought ANOTHER cheap Audi, this time a 2010 Audi B8 A4. It cranks but won't start. Today we're going to dig in and find out why it won't start, and if the valves are destroyed from being out of time.

    Low compression in all cylinders indicate a timing issue. Ol old shade-tree mechanic trick is, when getting a low compression reading, is to squirt a little oil into the cylinder and run the test again. If the compression stays low its a valve problem. If it jumps up towards normal it a ring problem.

      @radiodave1 I was thinking it might be an older A6. I've been driving my 2014 A6 Prestige TDI and it's been my favorite car ever. Although several Audi mechanics have told me to sell it before it starts having problems with the diesel systems. So I recently bought a 2018 Prestige A6 with the supercharged 3.0.

    You could hear it had barely any compression just by listening to it crank.
    A cylinder leak down test should be the next easy step before digging into timing chains etc.
    At least you'll know straight away if any of the valves aren't sealing, or if the rings/cylinders have any issues👍

    • @mydimeisup5103
      @mydimeisup5103 Před měsícem

      It doesn't. These rings get gunked up like crazy and no amount of chemical cleaners will help. Only way to fix it is to install DM revision pistons with the waffle-weave oil control rings (Part# 06H-107-065-DM). Though since this is a pre-2012 car it will also need update connecting rods (Part# 06H-198-401-D) since the DM pistons use 23mm wrist pins while the pre-2012 use 21mm wrist pins.

    Marvel isn't the way to go for cleaning carbon deposits and oil rings, it's just not aggressive enough for a piston soak. A BG oil flush/clean kit is probably the best bet, but if you don't want to devote that much time and money, I find that B12 Chemtool works amazing for cleaning up carbon deposits on pistons and rings (and it's cheap and easy to get)... It's what the Prius community uses because they also suffer from the clogged or stuck oil ring issue

    Just a headsup with those engines, I have this same engine in the GTI and I noticed your Spark plugs being fouled up. I strongly suggest you change the PCV valve ( Or possibly the whole system its inexpensive ) Mine went bad at same time as timing chains and blew out the rear main seal. Also to note when you showed the Valves on camera I noticed the carbon build up. Its a clear sign this engine has had bad oil change intervals and run in cheap regular gas. These engines require 91 and above. Mine runs on 93 and has a stage 2 tune and makes just shy of 300hp
    I did timing chains on mine and I also did NGK spark plugs and R8 Coil packs

  • @mydimeisup5103
    @mydimeisup5103 Před měsícem

    If you're doing the crank/cam chains and guides, I'd recommend also doing the balance shaft chain and guides. Its not talked about as much, but the balance shaft chains do stretch as well so it doesn't hurt to replace them while you're in there. Also if this car hasn't already, make sure you get the updated timing chain tensioner (Part# 06K-109-467-K) (though if its made it this long I imagine it was replaced while the lawsuit warranty period was still active).

If they do produce a decent car, they then change its design or change the engine or manufacturing process that continues the plague of broken unreliable cars. Whats also amazing is that these manufacturers build and test race cars.

The only question I have did you ever finish that little John Deere loader when you first started because that was one my favorite projects you have done. But I was just wondering if there was a play list on the Deere. Thanks for the great videos, keep up the great work love your content. You need yo buy another dozer like the Deere of some old farm tractor. Just to change up some stuff on your channel. There is some pretty income selling one when you get finish. Like I said just a thought but still think it would be coo to work on that had no computer stuff to read codes and things because there isn't any of that stuff. Just something different.

  • @sicknessuntamed
    @sicknessuntamed Před měsícem

    If its out of time the compression check is irrelivent, the valves will be open when they shouldn't be so you will get a bad reading, there is a slight amount of wiggle room as far as how off before they hit pistons but they could still be open during the test.

    The Audi that I find interesting, is the Audi TT with the baseball glove leather interior!
    The rarest mk1 TT is the Quattro Sport of 2005, limited to 800 units.
