Eddie’s Audi B8.5 RS5 4.2L V8 is back in the shop for this intermittent hot start issue that had us digging deep.

After extensive research and consulting with some of our Audi technician friends, we decided to take a less invasive approach and replace the crankshaft position sensor. Even though the vehicle wasn’t storing any fault codes related to the CPS, it made sense as the next logical step before moving into the much more labor-intensive process of removing the intake manifold to inspect the fuel injectors.

Following 2½ days of testing under multiple driving conditions, heat soak cycles, shutdowns, and hot restarts, we’re happy to report that the RS5 has not experienced a single hot start issue since the repair.

With the starting concern resolved, Eddie also asked us to clean up some aftermarket audio wiring that was installed prior to his ownership. We fabricated a custom carpeted birch wood panel and reorganized the amplifier and line output converter wiring in the spare tire well for a much cleaner, more professional appearance.

Nothing beats solving a challenging diagnostic issue and sending a customer home with a vehicle they can enjoy with confidence.

brought his MK6 Golf R by the shop for a thorough inspection and to address a few concerns. At the top of the list was diagnosing an A/C system that was only blowing hot air from the vents.

We performed a complete A/C service to verify the refrigerant charge was within factory specifications and conducted a leak test to ensure system integrity. During diagnosis, we found the cooling fans were not operating properly, with the primary fan cycling on and off intermittently. To restore proper operation, we replaced the original fan assembly with a new Nissens fan assembly.

After repairs, the cooling fans operated as intended and the A/C system was back to delivering cold air consistently.

While the vehicle was in the shop, we also diagnosed several concerns with the Dynaudio system and put together a plan for future car audio upgrades.

, thank you as always for trusting us with your Golf R and giving us the opportunity to keep it performing the way it should.
