Electric water pump seems to be kicking in to cool down turbo and to kick in when the mean waterpump failing. The drama is the front wheel bearings Top video and very clear thank you so much for the time you invested in make this video.
You need to keep this car as it will gain in value I love this car in it present state and it will be even better after you have gone through it changing parts. This was a concept car that made it in full production.
Hi Paul congratulations on getting to 17,800 subscribers and well done with all your hard work on the cars and on the videos as well and another brilliant video as always
Can’t wait to see the restoration of the TT. Feel your pain of having to carry the jet wash around the car. The magic 8/10m hose makes life so much easier. The TT would look better after a Karcher Dry Ice Blast. Reach out to Karcher for a demonstrator to use on the channel. I’m thinking about getting a set off Quickjacklift’s as getting a post system looks like to much work on re-enforcing the concrete for the pads.
Great video Paul! I am just about to undertake an equally challenging restore (potentially) on a 180 roadster in Green. I have asked my subscribers if I should do it and its a 50/50 split. It is in pretty poor condition. Im looking forward to the journey but equally nervous and finding more gremlins than I can handle! Keep up the great work.
Great work Paul! I can recommend the Aluminum Coolant Pipe Flange Upgrade check ebay. The standard pipes fail for a passtime well worth doing while you are in there!!
I am looking forward to following this project. Rather than chrome the various ally parts why not restore them to the original finish in keeping with the rest of the engine.
Another brilliant blog mate, and an excellent start. Yes, your right about certain cars, that you may have owned but sometimes it’s like having an itch that you just can’t scratch, I had that with the blue oval cars. 👍
The pump is the secondary water pump. Runs after the engine to turned off. Big area to check is the oil pick up in the sump. Usually get gummed up. The boost pipe running cross the front will not have a hole at the bracket. That is a little water way and they get corroded. I alway put a front mounted intercooler on and delete that pipe but you need to leave it in because it is structural. When you get to the roof drain pipes, I have an easy technique to replace them because they perish. Just DM me and I will tell you how to do it. 15 mins per side max.
Cool video! Is there any way i can contact you if i want you to do a reviw video for my company's car audio product? 100% sincerity and please notice this message!

Top video and very clear thank you so much for the time you invested in make this video.
Great video I’m doing exactly the same thing with my wife’s 06 VW Beetle this is just the content I need right now thank you
Glad to help
hi from Spain! with your pronunciation I understand EVERYTHING, and Ive just bought an MK1 too, so looking forward for the next videos!!
Awesome! Thank you!
First time watcher. Really enjoyed your video look forward to the next.
Welcome aboard!
Just when i needed it the most. My mostly rebuilt mk1 tt decided to start acting crazy last week. Need all the tips right now.
Great 'real life' style video's. Thanks.
Great Video, like your coffee machine LOL , keep up the good work and look forward to the next.
Great video as always Paul, nice to see a channel that is tacking some preventative maintenance as opposed to reactive for a change!
Appreciate your love for the tt, looking forward to the build, I have a denim blue BAM myself
Great video buddy!
Glad you enjoyed it
Hope you are staying safe and well and hope you and a good weekend

Thanks 👍
Great job, looking forward to the next one.
brill video + excellent build well done paul
Nice one Paul. Love the Monday content.
Great video Paul, I think the MK2 is a far better car than the MK1 in driving experience & looks. My wife has enjoyed her MK2 now for 4yrs.
Thanks for sharing
well the mk1 paved the way bud....
Yes Paul a old school tt 👍👍

Wow, looks impressive

A mild restoration then Paul, looking forward to the rest of it.

Thanks, will do!
Second hand burger 🤣 legend paul
That rotten bypass/ pump, is the secondary water pump, it works for 10 minutes after switching the engine off to keep the turbo cool
Ah, good to know
Hi Paul,it's looking good so far,this will be a tidy car when it's restored.
Hi good chanel always watch it just wanted to no do you work as a mechanic for a full time job.
No, I work in IT, being a mechanic is a hobby
Is your brother Shaun Wallace from the tv show the chase Lol
You look like him.
Great video by the way thank you 🙏
The charge pipe is meant to look like that, its not a hole bud, its how the ext bracket is welded on
Thanks for the heads up
also there is a power steering heatsink pipe underneath you can delete, its no real use unless you are into heavy track use

Audi have a recall on these engines (coil packs). I use to own S3 8L. Call the dealer they check the VIN. All free.

Love the MK1 and MK3..... MK2 never hit the spot somehow
Maybe worth pollybushing the suspension components while your at it
How much did you pay for it
£863
Nice guy
I came across your channel keep up the good work

How is your your son getting on with his window cleaning business
He is getting on great
👍👍
Taking musical inspiration from Goonzquad videos Paul? 😉
You know it!
Please polish rather than chrome Paul, it would look so much better....honestly. 🙂
Yep, I am thinking the same
I agree. Chrome for a show car, polished for a 'nice' everyday car
first comment already watched this as a pateron :)
Well done
🤔👍👍👍👍👍
