If you own CDYA engine code version of 3.0Tdi (plus some other specific versions) DO NOT turn over your engine to prime fuel system after filter change. You need dealer software / VCDS or equivalent to run the electric fuel pump a few cycles to prime the fuel system. Turning over some of the 3.0 Tdi’s without priming first runs the high pressure pump while it is dry. This may cost £1000’s to repair if the HPFP then goes later down the line after running it with no fuel - because when they go the spew shards of metal into the entire fuel system, pumps, injectors and back to fuel tank.
If in doubt, CHECK your engine code and whether it needs electronic pre-priming after a filter change!
This has to be one of the most comprehensive yet easy to understand guide to maintaining the A6. I'm tempted at one myself. Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks for the comment , always nice to get some feedback… much appreciated as a small youtube channel 👌👌👍
Brilliant - really informative and well explained. This will definitely give people confidence to service simple items themselves, and hopefully save some money. Great work!
You're very welcome!
Mate.... I’ve search everywhere to find info on this sump washer! Mine came off as a big washer and rubber Oring. The manual just showed a washer? Unknown if it was metal or rubber. The new one came with nothing at all, and I had to source this washer and couldn’t find advise and the 20 other Q7 services I watched, so thanks!! You even tell me which way round to put the washer. Obviously my Q had a retro fit 😡 you’re a Life saver 🙌
👍👍 glad to help mate, thanks for the comment , much appreciated 👌
All VAG cars reset the service warning on dash by holding down the dash reset trip miles button before turning on ignition. Hold the button down for 5 seconds then turn ignition and hold for 5 more. Maybe start engine I cant remember 100% but it works on all VAG. Saves the scan tool process.
thanks for the comment 👍
To add to this, to my understanding it resets it to the non-long life service interval (15000km if I remember right), so if you want to use the flexible interval, you need the obd tool. Personally I wouldn't use the long life intervals even in a new car, especially on a turbo engine, but that's just my opinion.
@@Garbox80 This is noncence. I know someone who doesn't service their car. Guy did over 50k on same oil. His light never reset man.
@@E69apeTheMatrix420 I bet, it's not something unheard of. But I trust my own experience and the Audi and other VAG clubs and communities that have serious hobbyists. Long life service cycle will end up having more sludge etc. in the oil, and the oil channels in turbo are quite tiny. Had one 1.9TDI myself that started to have problems with it's turbo (and had been on long life cycle before), aroubd 250k (km). Those engines are known to last forever, so that was a warning sign for me.
Also, I must note that I live in Finland, so the temperatures variate between -30 to +35 celcius during the year.
@@E69apeTheMatrix420 Oh, you meant just the service light? Well, that's what I read from my previous Audi's service manual and that's also what happened when I used it. It was a 2001 A6 with 2.4L V6.
Great video mate will do
My own service now 👍🏻👏
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment 👍👌

Questions 1) What is the name of item you removed @ 13: 04 - 13:09 Need that part, loosing power and bad for engine left opened.
Q2) Does anyone know where I can get custom part if I can't get answer for 1st Question?
Hi that’s just the intake air pipe (pre air filter) shouldn’t make any difference to the running but does want to be fitted.. the only place you will get one is second hard off eBay or new for the Audi dealer
Hi mate. Nice easy video to understand but I'm looking for the video you mentioned about the fuel gauge? Thanks
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it 👍 czcams.com/video/7RLczl36xZU/video.html
Are these motors any good,how much of a nightmare are they,i looking buying an 08 Allroad Tdi with 270kilometres on it,full service history,4500$ mint condition,i fairly handy on the spanners but....in NZL tia
Yeah decent motors tbf , they do have there issues but only that same as everything else out there
Nice work.You have a beautiful watch.What is the brand.Thank you.👏👏👍
thanks for the comment , much appreciated 👌😃 its a garmin fenix 3 HR
Very good engine but a little expansive and many problem with the fap and other pollution system…just have run 10Kkms must change a lot of parts.
Think this engine have too lot of problems
My dads 2.7 tdi has air in the transparent fuel line (just before the high pressure fuel pump). If you bleed it it just comes back after a while. How can that be?
You. may have a tiny hair line crank in one on the pipes or a seal that's not 100% sealed
@@diydaly The weird thing is that is is not leaking any diesel. It must some how suck in air while running. I can only imagine this happening: 1. In the fuel pump assembly in the fueal tank. 2. Due to suction of the high pressure fuel pump.
@@ApaX1981 I wouldn’t expect it to be inside the tank , but yes often small splits can just draw air but not actually leak .. odd I know but is very common
Hi 17:32 what did you press to reset service due?
I wasn’t able to do it , some models allow you to reset the oil service through the screen options but this one and most likely yours will need to be done via a diagnostic machine I’m afraid
Next time sip some oil in Filter housing for better Start.. Chain tens.will last longer
Thanks for the tip
What is that part at the end of air duct? I got coolfluid leakage bit I can't see any traces of the liquid. Any idea what it could be?
Hi thanks for the comment, im not 100% sure which bit you mean? it was quite a while back I filmed this one..
@@diydaly if you look around min 13:48 you disconnected air duct from a metal component. I mean that component to which air duct was connected to. Can that be the reason for coolant leakage?
Thanks a lot.
ive just had a quick look and I think that pipe went strait onto the throttle body housing/inlet manifold which may have water pipes running through it if its water cooled but to be honest I don't think it is.. I can see there is a water pipe running over the top
is it ok if i buy 2x 4L package of oil, so it would be 8 litres, instead of 8,2L
Yes I would but you might be slightly low, you may need another 1L container , or try find 1 in a 5L
