Just finished watching it. Awesome job! How are your cam tensioners behaving after the detective work you did in the previous rs6 video?

I haven't had a single problem since! So what ever that little bit if rubber sticking the solonoid was, no more appeared

I've just added a battery jump point in the engine bay of my C5 RS6 so you don't have to go down into the spare wheel well to get to the terminals. A useful mod for the annoying problem with these RS6's


Here is the Video:

We have a customer with a 1994 RS2 that's had an unfortunate incident with some wildlife.

Does anyone have a front bumper, and possibly n/s headlight?

I realise the chances are slim, but I thought this would be the place to ask!

Sounds more like a piston ring than a valve

Left it all day and did a compression test cold 1. 200psi 2. 200psi 3. 200psi 4. 200psi 5. 200psi 6. 16...

0 misfires detected at the moment (90degree coolant temp)

Thanks for the quick replies :thumbs: I'm no stranger to these engines in N/A form having just sold my C5 S6 that I'd owned for 4+years. I had one cam chain completely destroy its self, and a few years later caught the other one just before it let go, I had the dreaded oil cooler coolant link pipe c...

Hello everyone. I have recently purchased a 2004 Daytona Grey Avant and it has a misfire when cold. It clears up and runs smoothly when hot. The car runs perfectly once its warmed up, no misfire, no noises, no hesitation at all, very fast! With my VCDS i ran a scan and it shows: 17981 - Left engine ...
