Chris keeps me highly amused with his understatements and pragmatism ... "Yeah, it's crept up that one, hasn't it". Another entertaining episode, thanks.
Hi Rob & Chris, I've been using those connectors for a couple of years, you're right they're brilliant, never given me any problems.
The idea behind the red rings in the heat shrink solder joints are to hermetically seal the silder joint from water etc. I have used similar in the RAF for years to rapir cables ...we use a heat shrink gun with a curved air deflector attachment to give all round heat so you get uniform shrinkage.
I use those connectors quite a bit, if your joining a bunch of close wires
I use a wide blade metal scraper and place it under the wire I’m working on to avoid melting others around it!
Hard to look at the original damaged car to what you guys finished with. Shows how good Chris is at repairing with the tracking so close. Top job guy's, hopefully it will be sold soon and on to a new home.
The tracking showed how perfectly the car was rebuilt! Top jobs lads
I am always astounded by you in-depth knowledge of salvage . Best channel on TH-cam by far.
Hi chris, we use those solder splices in the aerospace industry. I use them daily. Good enough for a typhoon great for a polo. Dazza
Those red rings in the heatshrink solder is adhesive. It makes the connection watertight. Good stuff with the polo
Damn those parts where expensive full face lifts on rare models have really pushed prices sky high happy for you both that you will be able to make a profit out of it & looks fantastic 👍👍👍
Rob and Chris, great work! Especially those solder heat shrink! Always a pleasure watching!
Rob one thing to try with the heat shrink solder joints is to stagger them on the loom so you don’t end up with a large bump in the loom under the tape
Look at how lovely this turned out definitely a win 👀
Rob - there’s an attachment that fits on the end of the heat gun that spreads the heat all the way round those connectors, makes life easier when using them, it should have come with the gun. Great job as always
Usual perfection with a totally focussed attention to detail. Really tasty parts bill. A really lovely, low miles Polo. Form a queue guys. Glad to see a decent margin coming out of it for you👍😎
Lovely job Guys parts are costly would you do another one 👍
I used those heat shrink solder connections 43 years ago in the RAF. So long as both ends are tinned they work a treat.
Thanks for the mention Rob, those connectors are ace! Andy.
Lol it wasn’t you bud
I’m not a fan of VW’s but this is a nice little car. Top work! It’s cars like this that catch out the man doing it himself on his drive. A bargain can soon go down the pan if you need to load the parts canon.
I wondered if those easy solder joints were any good. Now I know. Thanks guys. Superb job as usual.
Used to work on RAF Tornado fighters and we used those sorts of solder sleeves on the aircraft wiring, really good for hermetically sealing inline crimps
I have been using those solder fittings for years,I always stagger the repair,but they are very good,get mine from RS Northampton
Very nice results gents, and a good series, albeit an expensive one. You will still come out with a good profit, and someone will get a very nice car.
Always enjoy your projects and I thank you for keeping us entertained and engaged.
Got the exact same connector ripped off on mine, will try them solder joints!! Also that radiator support grill cost me £20.45 before VAT from TPS, shopped around for most other parts, even got the bonnet in colour £130! 😂
Love my Dub and all things VW except the new gen Polo's....expensive girly toys and high maintenance just like their owners🤣
As always a great vlog guys 👍
Great tracking machine, though I would just have to get the both sides perfectly equal, this is why I’m not a millionaire.
Those heat shrink solder sleeves are mustard! I find the wind proof lighters work as well as a heat gun. Great to see it all back together.
congrants ,we do not miss any of your videos ,we are so far from you ,in Uruguay south america ,regards
Hi Rob, I mainly repair these new shape Polos, do you have a trade account with TPS? I find most the genuine parts are pretty reasonable, and cheaper than main dealer, especially things like the fog lights, front wings etc. They also stock the 3pin connectors you needed for pennies.
Sometimes not worth the time searching for used parts.
Anyway, great video as always 👍
Hi Rob, great episode as normal. As an aside when in-line splicing multiple cables it’s best practice to stagger the joints if you can it saves ending up with a big lump in the cable and protects against possible issues further down the line.
Great to see before & after at the end.
I must add when a garage does the tracking make sure the device on the steering wheel is fitted on to make sure the steering is straight.
I had mine done once and it was all in the green on the screen like in this video, but there was no device on the steering wheel and when i drove away after he finished, the steering wheel was slightly to the left when going in a straight line.
I had to go back to get it redone and he got it right the next time round.
VW's are good but always have been overpriced. Amazing that you could spend twice on parts than the car actually cost
The little rings on the ends of your solder sleeves are environmental seals, to keep moisture out of the solder joint. They're great devices, just go easy with how you apply the heat on pvc-jacketed cable as the cable insulation can melt before the solder. I also would tin the wires before fitting the solder sleeve to avoid a dry joint. Very handy little things; I use loads at work (not cars).
Fantastic. So good the solder connectors .
That picture of when you bought it; nasty!.
Nice car, now.
The parts total escalated quickly 😮
Still a cheap enough thing at £9k though, another quality repair 👌
been using that things for years they are prety good usually but not always...nyway you have not done that quite right all be it should be fine....next time keep heating the ends of the sleeves til they close fully onto the wire too but you defo had the right idea starting with the centre 1st so the solder melts 1st but keep going til the tips of the sleeves at each end fully close too
They was completely sealed bud
Lovely workmanship again guys
I would of thought 10k would've been a better price for that car with all the work you both put into it? Ended up lovely though boys. 😎👍
Another cracking little motor you fellas have turned around again someone will be well chuffed when they buy it 😀. Parts pricey but you get what 😳 you pay for, great video 📹 👍 as usual fellas. Take care and stay lucky and healthy looking forward to Friday's video 📹 😊 as usual.
Another great video. Car vertical have really ramped their prices up. The last time I used them to do checks just over a year ago it was around 7 quid per report, now it's close to 20 quid!
Prices now are just crazy . Still yet another great little car out the done lads . Well done thank you for another great video .
Top work on the VW POLO guys. The car looks like a totally different car you would never know if it was ever involved in an accident. The car looks like a beautiful car lads well done guys you’ve earned small profit out that car. Can’t spot a fault with that car so far. Rob Your going to do some snagging in that car don’t go to crazy Rob 😂 see you on Friday.
Aside from the Solder joins have a look for waterproof heat shrink. Many sizes for many needs!
Lovely car guys. The before and after pics show the amount of effort you both put into repairing the vehicle.
It’s still a cheap car. Low mileage, well sorted, and in lovely condition.
Nice one gents, and an interesting series of videos. The body repairs by Chris were a real pleasure to watch.
Someone will get a very nice little car.
Cheers gents….
Nice and easy end to this one. Love the heat shrink for the wiring, will certainly look for them when I need to do wiring again. At least you managed to keep your hands warm doing that 😂 what a cracking little runabout 👍🏻
Evening Guys. What a lovely Polo. I was trying to add up as you were talking doing the number and was as shocked 😮 as you both were. But a fantastic end result and a lovely little car for someone’s Christmas 🎄present 😄
Aren’t those heat shrink solder splices brilliant! I’ve used them in the aviation industry for years. Great invention. TBH the prices for those parts seem reasonable by comparison to what we’d pay here in Canada, if you could even get them. Great video as usual.
That will make someone a nice little car,well done lovely job as always.
Another one saved and expertly done ! 👍
Heatshrink solder sleeve connectors widely available on ebay. Also recommend Lidl Parkside heat guns when they have them on sale - wide range of temperature control with LCD display and lots of accessory tips so safer to use in tight spaces.
That Polo was a parts nightmare Rob! But you came out on the right side.
Royal Mail are a disaster. I switched broadband supplier on the 23rd November. They sent my new fibre router out on the 30th on a 48 hr tracked service. The switch was scheduled for today (7th) but the router has not arrived.
So I am now using my 'phone as a 4G hub (as the old supplier has terminated their service of course) after buying a Wifi dongle until the Royal Mail decide to do their jobs.
Great to see the before picys again as it's easy to forget how bad some of the cars are. Great job gents.
When you make electrical joints, stagger them along the loom so you don't get a big lump when you tape over them. Use self-amalgamating tape as it will survive the weather better.
The solder joint repair things are brilliant I’ve used them so many times, another good video and another good car, well done 🍺🍺
The Polo looks like brand new Rob!
Quality rebuild as always Rob,we never doubt your work! :D
Good job , love this shape of polo had a reef blue r-line cracking car
Looks top quality as always Rob and Chris. Well worth the expense and will definitely will be a good profit.Keep up the hard work and cheers for the video take care
Another cracking job lads! That car's gonna make someone very happy.
VW do make some nice cars, but they have become awfully overrated among other brands.
As you have the heat gun out buy some heat shrink variou sizes.before crimping slide enough.over joint to cover crimp then once crimped.and.solder crimped slide heat shrink down and heat shrink over finished crimp joint ,then better still than tape
I didn’t crimp they they are waterproof solder heat shrinks
These connectors are what I use on my Christmas (holiday) lights on the front of my house they’ve been outside for over a year with no problems the connector on the power inputs however are the weak spots, I use gas soldering iron with a lance type end to get better control over the joint, the best way I’ve found is to shrink the ends first to hold the join then the solder then the red silicone water seal melts and it’s solid joint. Great video again guys merry Christmas have a goodun.
The micro blowtorches that hold a cigarette lighter are great for those solder fittings, can direct the heat to a confined area
Well done guys. Always nice to see a car returned to MINT condition, especially a POLO. 😁😁
Lovely job. Expensive but well worth it. Cheers, Bob
Another Cracking Job Rob and Chris.
ouch on costs .. but as long as you make a decent return that is good .... another great vid fellas ..
those heatsink solder lugs are junk.. Low temp solder, it wil crack as soon as it moves. The crimp ones ar usable tho, The solder ones are junk for automotive use.
The post is a headache at the minute but the wee motor is looking well .
OMG that did creep up, still great how you two aren't greedy and leave some money in for a trade deal also.
If you VW group bits use TPS, they supply genuine parts to the trade
Nice repair done there but why would a freshly painted bumper be put on the ground 🤔
It has a hard plastic lower section unpainted
A really good repair to the Polo, you have made it as good as new. Even the professionals could not detect that it was repaired. Regarding the heat shrink and solder joints, I use them for harness repairs which are exposed to the weather. They are really good if used properly.
Pink for a girl risky comment in 2022 haha great content as always
What a little stunning car that is
Well done guys. A nice little car for someone
Thanks for that vlog. As usual it was educational and interesting. Will it sell with those costs for parts, at that price there will probably be a queue!
Have I missed a video. What happened to the cheapest range rover that wouldn't start and everything pointed to the diesel pump or something like that?
Lovely car , really nice job on that and a good profit , a lot of parts went into that surprising 🙄👌👌👌👍
Another great turn around guys, cracking little Polo all sorted for someone to grab a quality car at a bargain price 🙌
yup....had the same issue with parcelforce, had to do my own detective work to find the parcel was left at the post office, had to wait nearly 3 weeks for a parcel from wales...lol.
Chuff me , 6.5 k , WOW
You've done a fabulous job on it boyz and you'll make someone very happy when they buy it from you , brilliant job as usual , keep up the good work 👍
You're like a well-oiled machine, Rob. Nice work on this one.
Good evening Rob and Chris, what a transformation.
That was one hell of a parts list.
Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged.
Must do the tracking on my 2010 Mazda. Haven't done it ever, I fink
Yikes that was a shock repair bill, just shows even a cheap looking car that's a limited run will so eat the cash out your wallet, still a worthwhile repair and look at the results 5☆ again lads 👏
Bit late watching tonight but ouch the expenses for the polo beutiful motor though guy's 👌👌👌
I love your output but in this one i did not see potential labour costs you did put an awful lot of effort into it anyway Merry Christmas
Another great job guys - and the mics are working well at last 😊
Who would have thought that little polo would swallow that much to get it completed. Well done on completion. Crack on
yeah those little solder heatshrink things work well
That rear spring looks like it came out of a ball point pen 🤣
Awesome video thanks lads very informative 🤠🇬🇧
Great video lovely car we'll done to both of you
I used those solder sleeves back in the 80's. They were military speck back then.
We feel your pain, the post is ridiculous at the moment. Its killing small businesses.
Mine included - been waiting 3 weeks for a merc tyre valve repair kit just so I can fit a tpms sensor with new seals because apparently merc haven’t got stock of them - they sell the valve without the fitting kit which is daft!
This is on top of other parts I’m waiting for that haven’t arrived for 3 or more weeks! Nightmare!
A lot of money spent, but we'll worth it. Another cracking car lads 👍👌
Those new mics are the dogs danglees... Thank you!
Well done Rob, you got stuck in on this one.
Microphone sounded epic at the end!!!
Lovely result
It is amazing how all the small amounts add up to one big one
That is a lot of money but at least a profit still in it 👍👍
Hi Rob and Chris, really nice car, really good profit, exceptional value for whoever buys it. And it will be snapped up. Great content as usual. Alex.
