Hello Mate, it’s John’s son, how everything?

All that & you then dont show how low it is??

Great job thanks guys and some good tips

Not much info in this … how did you take out injectors? What happened to the original copper washers? Were they left in the engine ? How did you clean once injectors were out? What was the blue box tool for? … I stopped watching half way through … thanks anyways

I saw a rolling Road test on one of these on a fiesta ST and across the six settings five of them had no benefit with the sixth given an eight brake horsepower gain basically worthless you’d be better off taking it to a tuner or not bothering 👎😔

Just for reference, I haven't taken my injectors out but... I had 2 leaking injectors, 1 at the "chuffing" stage of leaking, quite a bit of solid tar around both. (Note: I always tighten them "hot" immediately after a 15+ mile drive, so the carbon/tar is softened). Initially tightened all clamps to 7Nm. That stopped the chuffing but there was still an exhaust smell in the car at times. Eventually tightened all clamps to 14Nm. This needs to be done several times (over several days) until none of the clamps move at 14Nm. I used to tighten every Wednesday, straight after a particular journey! It's basically squeezing the injector down the tube through the (warm) tar and also squeezing any tar out from above/below the copper washer. The tar is so viscous that that's not going to happen in one go! This has been fine for 3 years now. I check them every 6 months or so at 14 Nm & there's basically no movement. I believe the part of the studs that screws into the head is only M6. I think I found the recommended torque for 8.8 grade M6 thread is 12 Nm. (16Nm for 10.9 grade steel). So my 14Nm may be slightly over the recommended torque for that size and there may be some risk. (Although I think the upper part of the stud is M8, so who knows what difference that makes?) Angle tightening a stud that's being reused is also a risk, so take your choice! The down side of angle tightening is also that you don't know what torque you ended up at, so you can't check them in a years time incase they've backed off. The problem with these injectors isn't that the copper washer fails. The problem is that the cap nuts back off until there isn't enough clamping force for the copper washer to seal. (If you look at a leaking injector that's at the chuffing stage the clamp nuts won't be much more than finger tight!) If people torqued these down every time they changed their engine oil, then leaking injectors would be a thing of the past. (Or if someone made a clamp to stop the nuts backing off over time).

You forgot essential information to mention and that is the amount of tension of the belt is determined by the alignment of the markings on the tensioner. To little or to much pressure and you run the risk of engine damage!

Cool TH-cam thanks , we're abouts in Scotland aew you based ?.

Are you ok? missing your videos

I heard these destroy your engine 😢so nope I’ll get it professionally tuned

The car turned out very nice. The only thing that bothers me is that the fender flares should be painted the same color as the car. They scream "here I am" and just don't make a smooth transition to the body. Even better would have been to take the time to flare the metal.

Son in law or not, never ever lend your car to someone EVER.

Great video. I have a mk3 also and planning on doing diff and gearbox oil along with cleaning and treating the underside. Can you help by advising where i should have axle stands please and also where to jack up? Thanks, D

This video was a lifesaver, thank you very much!

U like a loop fob too mate lol handy things

Hope ur all well Stevie be nice to see u again some time mate best wishes Greg

Rims balanced after this ?

Lots of good info cheers fella

Thanks!

I believe you should mix the mt-90 with the redline shockproof 50/50.

Hi Guys any chance of a wee follow up on this now a year has past to see how its standing up

I just buy car today from auction same problems shows i am so upset 2013 c4 picasso 38k mi only

You don't plug anything into the obd port ?

It's because something was wet and has taken a long time to dry

shit video , didnt show anything

How easy or hard was it to add the turbo to the car

Don't sand the caliper pins. Clean them with a solvent and grease them. Don't get grease on the braking material of the brake pad. Stopping your car requires FRICTION. Clean the brake dust off the areas of the caliper where the brake shoe slides. Try not to chisel the red paint off the caliper with your screwdriver. And yes, there is a way for diyers to deactivate the e-brake without idling the engine.

I feel your pain. Thats a real shame he couldn't take care of the Audi. Great to see Charlie back

Top video 👍😉

Great video, thank you. Doing mine soon so very useful! Can I ask what Trolley Jack you use?

Loved these MK2's growing up in the late 80's/90's.... there were just so many great cars during that period like Golf MK1, Lancia Delta Integrale, 205GTI and Renault 5 Turbo to pick but a few. I am sure you did this car proud.

Just done my front ones,very easy to do I was surprised really,rear will be even easier….unless you have a 4x4 lol good video

Cracking content, and glad Charlie there.

❤ another great bit of content Steve and Charlie great job guys 👍

Bearing should not be greas. Housing should be heated and Bearing should be placed in the fridge before assembly. No wonder the wheels are falling off

What video is the final reveal in I cannot find it guys

great to see Charlie back it reminds me of doing the exact same thing with my uncle going to write off sales and fixing cavaliers and montegos... i got a 1.8 sri cavalier for 50 quid pushed the back door out replaced the steering lock passed its MOT no probs kept it for 2 years then sold it for 600 they were the days.

Comes as something when you have to scrap a car borrowed to your Son-in-Law!

Great Job Guys

Keep the videos coming

Good progress - keep at it 👍😁

When Audi made real cars that lasted

How's the military going Charlie?

Poor Audi 😢😢😢😢

Shame about your Audi being Neglected... I feel the same every time I get My Car back from My Girlfriend - Kerbed Wheels, Scratches from Jewellery all over the paint around door handles etc etc.... I do like The Little MG's. I remember when MG went out of business and they were almost giving away those cars. Thing that put me off getting one at the time was worrying about getting parts in the future for them.

Stupid for doing that

Well done on investing the time, to swap the interior 🚗🔧

A word of advice Steve don't give it to your son-in-law 😂😂

It's good to see Charlie being his old self

It's great to see Charlie back, Please don't paint the Scirocco ginger.
