The biggest cause of the rot is the hole in the bottom of them that the yellow clip on the end piece of the side skirt goes through - that is why Ford stopped using that method and just use 3m tape to hold the end cap on. Tape is okay but better off using tiger seal.
Am sure you’ve checked loads of videos before hand, yeah hard to get inside the car. But you’re obviously happy not cycling the gears on getting it up to temperature. I’d have got in the window somehow or thr the boot, done mine 10 months ago on 2015 octsvia 2.0 tdi. 4.2L came out. Left 4.7L in after drips started. But I’d rather put 5L in then just cap it & thats that. Will be doing another change this summer. Liquid, Molly )
I did manage to run it through the gears to warm it up abit did that off video, I couldn’t open the doors and had to get through the window I’m 6ft so it was a task 😂
Mum's VW Touran does the exact same noise (it does it also while drive but quite randomly) i'm glad i finally found someone talking about it
Hopefully it’s the same problem mate and this video helps you
You should also clear all Gearbox Adaptions after a DCT fluid change. This is the same for all makes with DCT's.
How do you do that? With the scanner
Merry Christmas my man I have to say the end bit of undoing the plug to let the oil out you don’t need would terrify me 😂
Haha it don’t feel right like especially doing it with the car running but trust the process 😂
Hi Andrew. I have a 2016 2L petrol mk3, i get a squeaking sound (getting progressively louder) every 2seconds in a cycle and continuous buzz after car shutsdown for around 2min after a drive. Sounds seems to come from water pump area, Does this car have a aux water pump, or is it built into main pump, is it hidden, cant find mine. Sounds ridiculous when walking away. Thanks
Hi mate I would like to help you but honestly I ain’t got a clue, I wing most the stuff I do 😂 how many miles is the car on and has it ever had the water pump done?
@@H19XNS No problem mate. Got 100k km, water pump not done. was just trying to see if it had a auxillary water pump.
There is a belt that runs the pump on the front of the engine that’s the one I changed if that helps
great video Higgins
Thanks bro! Hope you had a great Christmas seen your video on the giveaway! Nice opportunity for people keep up the good work
Merry Christmas mate. Great work 👍🏻. Looks like you were praying to the oil god's at the beginning 😅😅😅
@@derbyjohn972 hah I know mate praying I did the job right and my gearbox didn’t shit itself when I run it up 😂
Was this a break-in?!?😮
Yeah when I was in France
Merry Christmas Andy. Where did you get the DSG service kit from?
@@jackduckworth1100 merry Christmas mate, eBay I put a link in description mate if you want it
Got. Cheers. Keep up the good work!
@ good man thanks I need to clean out the inlet ports where the valves are so that should be next video
Run on premium fuel or???
Yeah man I ran that car on premium always do
Hi,google says it was an option to add xeonon headlamps???
my gtis bit tappy but has been since i got it with 9k miles. Smokes the same as urs.. also low mileage started at about 45k.. as u say valve stem seals seem to be quite common to fail
2.0TSi or R are the models to get. Preferrably in GT spec with pan roof and leather interior. Amazing bang-for-buck with 200-265bhp as standard
Halfords do a bike torque wrench which goes down to 2Nm. Code is 701767. £40 though. Bought it to replace TT rear spoiler.
Good job mate
@@Jeff-cv4qn cheers buddy!
Weather has been absolutely shite mate. Garage looks mint 👍🏻👍🏻. Great work again cracking gift from your dad. Safety slippers retired 😂😂
@@derbyjohn972 thanks mate it’s looking a lot better now and I know haah, saves me loads of money on tools, the miss had me slippers on the thief
Well done 👍 Not the most difficult job would do this myself but a little more room would be better 😂
Yeah man haah gotta work with what I got 😂
Did you do a video on your wing?
I don’t mate no how come?
@H19XNS I did a similar job on the car but water leaks a little into back left seats (doubt it's just due to condensation) might have missed something during resealing the spoiler. But it's too cold to go outside :0
That’s wicked mate been wanting to do mine myself, now I can now watched this 👌🏻
Yeah man any question or your stuck then give me a shout
6.6 from 340bhp and 700nm? Slow as shite
6.6 for a standard one
What upgrades are on the engine? Which engine d3 ,d2
It’s a D2 and no upgrades just an air filter, dpf and egr delete with a map
Mate, I just ordered one of these on a lease, couldn't afford any extras but got the msport and tinted. Have you got some 19s I can borrow? 😂
Wasn’t my car man so I don’t sorry
no so good about the hips bro hope you can manage it alright, enjoying the videos and love the fact youre out there doing it in slippers, i have done similar before haha, take care man!
Thanks mate yeah should be good, best be anyway to tight to pay a garage to do me car
I’ve just bought a 225 quattro 2003. Needs some paint and dent correction but other than that, looks ok, is it me or is the steering really heavy on these?
Yeah steering is heavy mate it’s nice tbh
@ some parts arrived! Under tray, battery and fuse covers, lots of screws for the parts and now my indicators don’t work…. So ordered the hazard light switch to fix that!
Great work again mate 👍🏻👍🏻. Sorry to hear about your hips sounds awful bud 👎🏻👎🏻
Thanks mate haha like an old man at 29 me
Would a unit and car lift help you? Or even one of those portable scissor lifts help you to work on cars
Mate that would be amazing 😂 I can’t afford anything like that though unfortunately so cold hard floor it is for me
So you fitted two Scorpion exhausts and both have fitting issues. Not great.
No mate not great at all 😂
Nice car ,will be my next one .
Yes great car but mines had a good few problems unfortunately
Can you explain that?@@H19XNS
Good job.
Think I read somewhere the rocker cover is not just a rocker cover it also clamps part cams down . Audi vw waybsaving some money .not 100% sure but do some research before you strip it
Yeah man the cover holds the cams down
Hey Andrew, I have a 2015 2.0 petrol currently at 73k miles, what symptoms did you get with yours that made you think you had a failing pump/thermostat? Just curious what to watch out for really.
I didn’t have a failing pump or thermostat mate they are known for leaking between the plastic housing and the metal pump, when they do you will loose coolant and can see residue where it leaks from, normally starts off slow but gets worse. People say to change the gasket but for the amount of work it takes getting it out everyone replaces the whole thing
@@H19XNS Thanks very much for the reply!
Bloody hard work again mate 😂.
Yeah man. Hard on the floor 😂
nice! i thought about getting one for mine but i kind of like the more quiet exhaust with loud blow of valve and engine noise only, i found a blue with black rims 2017 audi TT-S with 82,000 miles on it for $24,900 usd 3k below market value in usa. thats kind of high mileage though i dont know if i should buy it or not but its super clean and super nice i really want it! but i already have multiple cars and bikes and need to buy a house first lol.
It’s only a tad bit louder not to bad
Great vid - I see the safety slippers are back in fashion!!! 😉😉😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
Always got them on mate 😂 my next video explains why I like them
@@H19XNS I love em too, but only for relaxing and not when I'm working.
Really enjoying this series unfortunately for you I’m getting the benefit of you finding and sorting the problems before I get my TT 😂
Mate I’m having nothing but problems with this car atm 😂 glad I can help though
Nice video. I have a 2018 1.4 TSI manual gearbox with 75.000km, it is an incredible car
They are good cars tbf
Swapping the EA888 for a TTRS engine is a hell of a job. Check Saving Salvage’s channel. He’s swapping a 2.5 DAZA engine into an Octavia. Just the work on the loom and the engine management was mind boggling.
Yeah didn’t think it would be simple 😂
At that point just buy a ttrs
Too much swearing! But good review. I have got a fitted fan assisted oven in the back, or two 22kg bags and two cabin bags for holiday. Not sure I would want to be a passenger when you were driving!😊
Great work again mate and sounds fantastic 👍🏻👍🏻. Only thing you missed is putting the stickers on. Adds at least 30 BHP 😅😅
Really thought the shield was sticking up to far and you didn’t show the bonnet back down Im guessing all was fine
Yeah it’s fine 😂
Same. Protudes too high.
Have you got a link for where you got these springs? Cheers!
I haven’t sorry mate but they are off eBay, I wouldn’t recommend them tbh, get yourself some more expensive ones
What polish and polisher are you using? Really enjoyed the video, the amount of effort you've put in is amazing.
I’d have to look mate as I can’t remember was a white back I did this car, thanks though 🙌
Get video so helpfully thank you as I'm in the market for one as I'm coming up for a 2016 vauxhall corsa vxr, how much is a timing chain replacement on one of these please
Not done the timing chain so I’d have no idea sorry
Bin there, little piece of advice don't under estimate yourself, you will be surprised what you can do when you have too? Like my old Dad use to say these things are sent to test you and for what its worth I thought you did a bloody good job. Cheers😁
Thanks mate, I didn’t do bad tbh least the job was done and the car is fixed
nice job!! despite the cuts and bruises! how long did it take including your prep work? looks like a lot of labour figures why shops charge so much, shame audI designed placement like that for a such a perishable item. is that an aftermarket water pump as read on forums they're more robust than the OEM? cheers.
It’s a genuine water pump and took me a while tbh about 2 hours to get it out and same putting it back in maybe little longer
Great work mate and fantastic prep work 👍🏻👍🏻. New clip pliers game changer. You need a pop up gazebo mate 👍🏻
That would be ideal mate haah
When I had my water pump replaced they basically took off the whole front end (bumper, radiators, intercooler) and doing it that way you have access to be able to replace the belt
Seems abit overkill for that 😂 my belt was fine so no need to replace it
nice luckily i bought my mk1 at 75k mileage and the guy i bought it from was a military nuclear scientist and he replaced the water pump with the timing belt kit at 70k miles or sooner. I think most people say to change timing belt at the same time. I have come to notice a lot of people on the car sales websites try to sell german cars right before this service is needed around 70k miles for water pump/timing belt replacement, so they sell it to someone who most likely never owned a german car and doesn't know this service is needed. and if you buy an older model it might cost more to change then you paid for the car lol
chain on this car no poverty belts
@@EazyDuz18 lol idk if mine has a chain or a belt
@joeyschmidt7546 send me a picture of the engine I’ll tell you
@@H19XNS i have 2004 1.8t audi tt 225.the itnernet says its a belt. and its also a belt for the 2.0t mk2. apparently the mk3 is the first model to have a chain instead of a belt it says online.
This donut didn't even buy the tts lol. Wally
Good one pal
