Welcome to my channel!
There are two things I love doing to cars. Fixing it and cleaning it.
When it comes to fixing a car, I spend a lot of time researching what needs to be done, what tools I need and what parts I need. As a result, I've kept that in mind when I record my videos to provide you with all the details you need to "DIY" the job.
You’ll see that many of these jobs can be done in your driveway using a basic set of tools while saving you lots of money. In addition to saving money, it will give you peace of mind knowing the job was done correctly using high quality parts!
Aside from fixing a car, I strive to keep it shiny at all times. I regularly wash and detail my car. I try to provide videos of me doing that but it's not as intriguing to watch so it's mostly before/after shots on my Instagram along with some small videos on best practices on TH-cam!

Ceramic Coat Any Car Using AvalonKing's DIY Kit

Thanks I just changed mine 15min ago
If anyone is curious they make a tool to help remove the coil packs..one version is super over priced around $200+ and the ECS tuning knock off is like $60ish. Not critical since we all just saw you can do it without the tool but it does help sometimes.
I’d recommended having a thin 10mm wrench, when I tried to take off the nut the whole bolt started spinning and broke the connector off the wire, so a thin wrench to hold the lower bolt as you take off the top nut
Im wondering that which oil will fit my a4 b9 2017 . Thank you guys
Covering the tag is not necessary….what do think you’re doing when you drive around in public??? Everyone sees your tag anyway!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dealer wanted to charge me $246. Thanks to your video I only paid about $60 for the plugs and another $30 for tools. My only note is that I had to return the 6” extension for a 10” as the handle of the 6” wouldn’t clear.
Just purchased a 2021 A4 and yours is the ONLY video I found that shows the same air filter setup as I have. Thanks for the great information!
ı have black grill and i dont like it. Can i Vinyl wrap it to chrome ?
You may want to redo the wires on your drivers side a polar you have run the wires across the airbag and it will not deploy properly if needed
Absolutely love your videos. Great explanation and great tips. Definitely better than going to the Audi Stealership. Even here in the UK you go there wait around have a coffee and then they come back to you and say “that will be £500 minimum madam/sir” for a basic oil and filter change and diagnostic just to read fault codes take a video and they charge you £100. Definitely better to go to a specialist and do regular maintenance yourself. Take care and hope you are doing well! Thank you.
Could have been an excellent video -if you had not used the repetitive annoying music jingle..
Great video, many thanks. Fed up paying £280 for an oil change.
Mine came but they manufactured it with the filter locker in the opposite place 😂
Can you use led h11 for the fog lights?
Socket size should be 5/8 inch or 16mm
My B9 a4 cabin filter wont come out, theres a screw or something blocking it any ideas how to get it out?
"Music" is extremely annoying.
I do all my own servicing on my Audi A4 2ltr TFSi . Never go to stealerships for that basic work. Independant Audi/VW mechanics are for jobs I can't do.
Thanks for posting this video. Clear and easy instructions.
Thanks for the guide, changed mine in <10 mins after watching.
30 minutes is a stretch. Takes me no more than 15 minutes. For my 2020 A5 sport back, I do my own oil every 5k, and it takes much less time and less cost than going to the dealer. I also got a snap-in funnel that mounts to the oil cap threads. It's secure, doesn't leak and makes it a one-handed operation.
Do you suggest disconnecting the battery before doing all this or it don't matter? Looking to replace spark plugs myself and avoid the service cost at the dealership
There is a mistake in the video regarding top nut torque. Official ELSA AUDI guide torques: Table of tightening torques for installation: Component/fastener [Nm] Spark plugs 30 Bolt for ignition coil 10 Nut for earth wire 9
Hi , I have the same car Just wondering, do you ever experienced an parking brake fault on your screen system ? This happens to me sometimes when I’m of the clutch waiting on traffic! Any help ?
Yikes, i think the mechanic put mine in with the air flow arrow pointing the other direction. I turn on the AC and it seems muffled and the air pressure lessens. When i turn off the AC, the air pressure returns and blows hard. Yikes, I'm going to have to call him back to check
This was a perfect match for me changing out my mirror cap on 2019 Audi A5 -- thanks to this video I did the actual work in 15 minutes - thanks!
Excellent DIY video. Thank you.
Finally got around to hiding the wires after hardwiring (used your video in conjunction with Google to do that - super helpful). Something I found very helpful is that when you take off the cap over the lights/mirror towards the back side there is an opening where you can easily shove any extra wiring. Mine was too long by a lot and that was a perfect place to “store” the excess. Helpful video as always - glad you’re around so I have videos for all the stuff I’m doing with my A4!
Brilliant vid thank you
Thanks for the video!
Thanks a lot mate!
Worked like a charm! Thank you sir
VW puts the cabin filter in a bad spot. I have a 18 Passat
2017 A4 - thanks for saving me $135 for mechanic to do this simple replacement.
2017 A4 - Just saved me $132 for a mechanic to do this - wish I had known about this earlier. Thanks! And thanks for the warning about my back - :- ) Very awkward position. Why do they engineer stuff like this? - oh - so they can get $132 from me.
Thanx, awesome tutorial
This was great, except it took me 10-15 minutes of fighting with the trim to get it off, and then another 10 minutes and an emergency call to my dad the mechanical engineer to get the screw moving. After that … easy as pie!!
I don't think that is carbon fiber, it looks more like it's carbon fiber print on it. You can also see inside the mirror cover, it's plastic
Instructions unclear I now have a bmw…
Thank you so much for this, steps were great, worked perfectly after this. Only one thing though: for me, the 10mm bolt and nut would rotate with one another, putting risk of ripping the grounding wire. To fix this, I had to get a very thin 10mm wrench to hold the bolt, while a ratchet on the nut to break it loose. After that, it was normal.
Running into this same exact issue atm except I don’t have a thin enough wrench 🥲
What screw size
Great video
You might mention that the screws are Captive
He did. 1:56
Beautiful car brother.... 👌🏽💯💯
How do you cover sides of a car like Tesla does .
This looks really good. I plasti dipped mine blue about 3 years ago and I think I am going to try this rather than repaint it. Great video.
Did you notice any gains?
I have 1.4 Turbocharged 35TFSI B9 A5 2020 Sline model, can I replace K&N AIR FILTER without getting check engine light, or do I need to get it tune to avoid any signs.. let me know thanks
Thanks for this! Easy to follow!
Honda should make the 1st cover piece metal, otherwise it is easy to break it when take it off.
