      Yep, an owner engine swap and visible, touchable ground wires loose means that there is a possibility of anything else being loose. Torque converter fasteners, driveshaft fasteners, engine accessory fasteners IE water pump, AC compressor, power steering pump etc. 1 trip down the driveway could lead to a large headache.

    I had one of these 1.8T except an Avant. These cars had an external oil line that ran close to the exhaust and cooked the oil, causing the engine to completely sludge. Audi claimed the oil wasn't changed often enough, but did end up changing the recommendation to synthetic oil. Too late for many of us.

    As soon as I heard the relays clicking like crazy, I knew it was a bad ground connection. I once had a fairly new Odyssey that had body work done to the front bulkhead, where the dash lights, A/C, and other components were acting erratically. It turned out that the bulkhead had been spray painted, and even though the bulkhead ground wire was tight, it wasn't making a good connection due to the fresh paint. Cleaned the paint off of the area where the ground wire was attached, retightened, and was good to go.

    Many years ago, when I was a young fella, a mechanic I worked for always used to say "if you put it on do it up!" I've followed that advice ever since, it's never let me down.

      no kidding- I would think that gas would be water by now. I'm wondering if someone tried to get it going, couldn't and then drained out most of the old gas and replaced with fresh gas. 10 year gas no way would start that car. Anyway Ivan, you never cease to amaze. Awesome troubleshooting. Even to the point where you started the crank and then jumped the fuel pump. It was the right call at the time. Again- great job.

    As had already been said, - " If you're gonna spin a nut to secure a wire - tighten it fully & make sure it's ok before proceeding! - Then you can 'forget about it', knowing that it's fine.
    If you just spin the nut a few turns just enough to keep the terminal in place you've got to remember that you had only turned it loosely.
    It's sad that people who don't know this want to work on car wiring, so much of which uses wires secured to the chassis as the main ground.
    Well done & good spotting Ivan!🎉!

    Very good and solid workflow! humbles me that I work on audi/vw everyday for a living and realize I still need to learn some new techniques lol. Usually on these cars the rpm will bump up on cranking and will let you know if you have proper crank signal or not. Also that relay box where the ecm is in the engine bay is known to get water damage as well from that cover gasket getting old or improper installation. Another no start issue on these cars is the bcm that is in the driver floor board. If the sunroof drains get clogged the floor will have water in it and over time it ingress's into the bcm and boom. Your work is super solid and I've seen issues like this stump people for a while. And you had it going in an hour good job!

    • @truracer20
      @truracer20 3 месяца назад

      Assuming nobody protects the battery. Once charged to 70% soc with no draw a good battery will likely stay within safe limits for most of the 10 years, if not all 10. Lithium batteries don't degrade just with time, their lifespan is proportional to charge cycles and storage conditions. Improper soc in long term storage causes the cells to develop a charge memory.

      It's in the owners manual of many ev's that you must leave them plugged in, or plug them in every 3-6 months to avoid the battery being run below 0% by the on board systems.

  • @Sandmansa
    @Sandmansa 3 месяца назад +1

    This is a very common issue when replacing engines or transmissions or even a dash. Grounds don't get tightened or even hooked up. Or connectors don't get connected all the way, if at all. And it's not for the lack of trying. Sometimes you might get distracted or start rushing to finish up and details like a stray connector get overlooked. It happens sometimes.

    Reminds me of a snapper riding mower I recently purchased, the guy who claimed to be a motorcycle mechanic said it ran but would suddenly stall out so he gave up and decided to sell it, I paid 35 bucks for it with the bagger which alone is worth over 100, the first thing I was remove the float bowl and sure enough it was full of water and rust and the needle was stuck, so a basic thing to always check, I drained the tank which was also full of water, after that it started and ran, a little carb adjusting and it ran pretty good then stalled and wouldn't restart, I didn't check the spark plug, when I did couldn't understand how it ran at all, it was completely carbon fouled just a solid mass of carbon, I put in a plug I had laying around and it started and ran perfect, I can't figure out how a mechanic could miss this, it more frequently is the simplest thing that can trip you up.

    I recently got burned checking things old fashioned way. Had a 2014 škoda rapid 1.2tsi in a workshop with cyl3 dead misfire. I checked spark which seemed just fine did an RC test and even swapped injectors between cylinders but nothing changed. I decided to go back to spark even though it seemed to be fine. Checked resistance of spark plug leads and the one on cyl3 measured 19 kohm while others were 9-10 kohm. So it turned out that this extra resistance was enough to not create a spark in the cylinder under pressure.

    That's basically the car I daily! Mine's a year newer. I'm curious why he did an engine swap in the first place. It's not uncommon for the head to need replaced, but these blocks are pretty bulletproof.

    With an engine swap no start just do a visual inspection from above and below and wiggle all of the grounds, especially the starter ground to the block, which is also the alternator ground. wiggle test the alternator output and look to see if there are any disconnected connectors, or any obvious leaks or low fluid levels. A loose block (transmission) ground would cause the slow cranking.

    I wonder if the ground was loose because the mechanic failed to buy his monthly 100 pack of 10mm sockets 😂

    I am fairly certain that fluid dripping down when you were sawzalling was in fact fuel, so it did probably manage to puncture the fuel tank.
