It’s funny how Audi main dealers don’t want to sell stage 1 tuned cars but would sell an Audi s3 with no Haldex service ever done with 60k on the clock. And sell it as approved Audi
Not just Audi , I’ve rang a lot of garages about s5 and s3 and when I ask about gear box service it’s like I’m speaking a different language 9/10 never done
@@Chris-hw4mq I have purchased a golf mk6 gti from a company in Birmingham (not main dealership) but still a name that’s known and they didn’t tell me the car had a stage 1 remap and the remap was so bad it would cut the power while driving on motorways or accelerating which was very dangerous and this company refused to pay to get the remap sorted. I ended up returning the car. The car then ended up at a main Vw dealer and I am pretty sure they sold it on like that
@@macca2760 a Audi main dealer sold me a s3 that had never had a haldex service and when I took it to get one done at a different main dealer they didn’t put enough oil in and completely damaged the haldex and blamed the other main dealer for not doing a haldex service. They are full of it and most of these so called technicians don’t have a clue
@@paulmichael3844 was wondering why a VW dealer cant flash the car back then ? Generally to have a good to tune you either buy from the best or get it custom tuned
That’s not how it works, despite how will explained it. A box map wouldn’t have saved it is what I’m saying. Failsafes are built into the gearbox and it’s actually best to leave them on rather than remove them. This was caused by overheating. Only way to stop that is to strengthen the box.
Top man Calvin. Can seriously see your passion for cars and hunger for business. Hunting down stock to buy and documenting it for our entertainment. Keep it up pal you are on smash. Super genuine guy 💯
Had the same issue on my AUDI S4, audi basically replaced my DSG whihc they quoted 11K for the work. Luckily I had bought extrnded warranty to cover it
Great video Calvin. Very interesting for me. I have a 23 S3 8Y in Navarra blue with a couple of thousand miles on it. Keep up the good content. Good luck in your exploits.🤞
I got a saloon tech pack from Audi Nottingham 2017 it’s wicked same colour as the one you got from Nottingham Audi I’ve stage 2 tuned it pushing 409bhp
3k the only guy who made most money is the mechanic mate u need to get a good mechanic and this guy your pal and your supporting him but he ripping your pants find a other mechanic who can give u better price labour I wouldn’t pay no more then £800 quid if your lucky
I did a stage one on my A3 TDI 2.0 435 NMT within a month fly wheel went cost me £700 😢 so fitted uprated sach clutch and fly wheel … people need to factor in possible extra cost due to a stage one when getting it
Nice video! You're basically paying VAT on the difference between 16.5 and 21k, meaning there's peanuts left if only for the VAT on the repair which you can reclaim, I'm hoping that the video will bring some revenue...
Mad, i paid 16500 for my mk6 golf r in 2018. Nowdays you can buy a newer s3. The vw dealer i got mine from had no clue mine was mapped. I later found out its got a stage 2 map on.
I am not a trader Calvin, however I have noted when buying a car from a main dealer say VW or Audi when you do a HPI check it will often come back with finance owing due to the Dealership taking out a short term loan to pay for it as stock., there is a name for it I am sure.
S3 stock clutches are made of chocolate. Exact same as the Golf R’s. Even a very safe stage 1 will make the clutch go due to the torque limits of the stock clutch
Calvin.........did he really say 'Course I do?"......I would have just turned around and walked off......I can't stand rudeness BUT Is that really acceptable Customer service skills?.......I couldn't believe my ears..........😮
Audi are shocking I owned a s3, rapid and a nice looking car that goes like stink loved it but, I’ll say one word haldex. Stronic, Oh and the thermostat housing and water leaks 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 soon as the cops see this youtube video you be fined useing phone wile driving they seen it and your moving in car there cracking down on that now hope they dont but never know 😅
Looks like main dealers having people off even more so tryin cut out the smaller dealers even thought you got alot of moneys worth on your lot Calvin and BINCA is pretty big blimmen does you well anyway.. I've seen a video about thieves in America he opened my eyes about main dealers and Mark mccann.. Mad of much the dealer having the smaller consumers off.. Makes me sick
Americans are slowy realisng the UK is a class system. Meanwhile, a homeless in America has the opportunity to buy a RS3 and make something of himeself based on worth ... not wealth 😂

Because stage 1 or stage 15 imply warranty risk and the car could have been abused

Please do similar vid again Calvin. Really interesting.
good advert for why a TCU tune is so important when mapping an auto
The DQ 381 gearbox is known for issues even when stock.

always a breath of fresh air listening to Will explain stuff, he just has so much passion and professionalism for his trade, legend.
Gearbox still in brum
Or Bradford
Careful, could get 2 years inside for that comment. 😂
That would be an uograde compared to the dump where you live 🤷🏻♂️ @@theenglishtrucker1849
gandoo gearbox is in Bolton
This is why you need to a genuine remap specialist who won’t mess up the gearbox or ruin the clutch
"Yeah of course I do" 🤯 terrible customer service that is
Explain how?
I don’t think it was purposeful I think he had a brain stutter when he recognised it was Calv. Otherwise, it was meant to be sort of funny.
Will at VRS knows his stuff 💯
Top man Calvin. Can seriously see your passion for cars and hunger for business. Hunting down stock to buy and documenting it for our entertainment. Keep it up pal you are on smash. Super genuine guy 💯
Thank you mate 🙏🏼
Will is a HIGHLY knowledgable man hats off to him
Whoever gets that S3 has a proper sorted car. New clutch and water pump and full service. For a decent price to

I like Will, seems very honest and knows his stuff.

where’s the a35 vid! 🤣 need to see the outcome of my fellow brum lads car
Coming very soon
That fact that its taking long would realistically tell u it was facked
“These have been nuked” … love the metaphor about the clutch….

Mate i wish i knew you were in Nottingham ive got a 63plate 535d that i was looking to sell. Gutted man. Glad you got the s3 👍

Parts were £1500 and there was £500 VAT in that bill which he will claim back. So it wasn’t far off that anyway for labour
Mechanic ripping his kacha off 😂😂 yeah max 800 for gear box
You’d be paying nearer 4K at the main dealer for the same job.
@@ChrisBeevor0511whose going main dealer
£800 lol
i love the cars you buy and sell mate when i win the lottery im coming straight to you
Calvin your lucky you have a great relationship with VRS 💪🏼
Nice 1 Rodney, nxt year we will be millionaires 😂. I enjoyed this vlog the bad with the good, makes it real Calvin you make great ❤
The map on the S3 of that age can ruin things if not done right …had so many problems with mine
Same with the one I had worst car I’ve ever owned
Love this type of video calv very interesting to see days in the life of a car trader!
That car looks cleaner than Cambridge Audi sold me an approved used car recently
Wills knowledge is mental
16:59 stunning svj
When it hits the fan, the best content comes out. More of the mania please homie!
literally ebay listing of same audi but black is for 8900
Fair play, in that you are not taking a profit on this one 👍👍👍
Nice S3 that, would consider it - but not on website - has it sold already?
Lovely motor in my favourite colour & favourite wheels
I did a stage one on my A3 TDI 2.0 435 NMT within a month fly wheel went cost me £700 😢 so fitted uprated sach clutch and fly wheel … people need to factor in possible extra cost due to a stage one when getting it
S3’s are so nice
Near to 3k to fix, crazyyyyyy
That was new clutch"s
Gear box oil change
Thermostat housing
Water pump
Pollen filter
A lot of work
Will charges more than dealer prices 😂
sure it would be cheaper for Calvin to have his own in house mechanic at this point since he lives at VRS with all these cars he buys
@@leedstown still wasn't a 3k job, main dealers wouldn't even charge that much
@@AM-xf8mu of course they would it would be £500 for changing the gear box oil
Man like Calvin in the house.
Hee Calvin,
Love these video’s man! Keep up the good work💪🏼
Kind regards from the Netherlands.
This video was very interesting. A proper ‘day in the life of’ video.
Selling it for on Autotrader for £21.1k 🤩 maybe time to become a car trader too

my mate had a deal with all dealers in manchester but he had too take the lot .
Any chance of seeing more of the old brown audi 80 in the background up on the lift? Cheers Calvin🎉
There is a Ferrari/Maserati and BMW garage over the road too
A really entertaining and great video! I enjoyed that cheers Cal 👍👍

Big jump in price between the Mk6 and mk7

Great video as always Calvin!

Probably just needs a XHP mapping
Take a deep breath Calvin....don't get too excited mate 😂
lot work for a few quid i would get 65,000 for that in oz
Proud of you Calvin

Forecourt finance
Stocking plan/finance usually 3-6 month interest only, cleared upon sale of the car
Someone massively overpaid for that a7
Will is a German car guru!!!!
Is it not safe to say because of the stage 1 tune on the S3 that the clutch as been under more wear and probably caused it to slip or whatever
Is this the DQ381 gearbox? There was a "campaign" i.e. recall on them on 17/18 cars 34L4. Has it been done?
Paint looks a little orange peel affect
NGL I loved this video cal! More please 😂
What an absolutely amazing video. I really enjoyed this.
Bloody hell mate I got a lovely Q5 Vorsprung for you and I’m in nottingham
love it great clip so informative....
This was a good video 👏
Why do you say Nottingham like it's the first word you've ever said
I dont understand how he didnt win the bid?? He had his screen on record and we all saw he won the bid
was outbid
Calv, you're gonna have to get on 5G. That 4G mugged you off with the page not refreshing😅
Great video mate
MG GTR
please dont use your phone when you are driving!
I think he was in the passenger seat if you're referring to the start of the video.
So the clutch went due to the car being mapped. Was it a bad map or does the gearbox have to be mapped as well as the engine ?
S3 stock clutches are made of chocolate. Exact same as the Golf R’s. Even a very safe stage 1 will make the clutch go due to the torque limits of the stock clutch
