In today's video we get the work on the new project, the Audi S3 8V, I bought this a few months ago with a damaged engine, lets find out the problem! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I can't get over the amount of spider webs , thought they were the fake Halloween decoration type at first because of the way they looked.
Yeah they look like they are from some game!
Lol
Laying in the snow like a champ 💪 looking forward to seeing more on the S3!
Can't believe you took that apart in the current Baltic temperatures 😁 Brought back memories of working on old Fords on my driveway in the winter. Takes its toll on your body for sure, it's hard work 💪🏻
I did the head gasket on my wifes mk1 fiesta in worse weather, about 10 minutes spanner time then inside to warm up for 15 minutes 😂
It’s easy if you warm up well with some vodka
@@jacobjakub474 Polish Vodka !
I am so impressed that you’re doing this considering the freezing temps….respect!
Appreciate the effort put in to bring us a video in those conditions!
Loving these in depth videos. It's one thing changing suspension or broken body panels but engine diagnostics is what will earn willing driveway mechanics a pretty penny
Nice! Glad to see you working on A3s and the 8V is my favorite. Also working on the EA888 is relevant to many viewers and showing the techy bits as well. Please more of this!
11:43 doesn't he mean IS38?
Looking forward to this build. I’m keen to learn more about these cars as they’re plentiful here in Australia. Good luck with the repairs.
That sponsor transition was mint
I thought so too 😂🙅🏼♂️
@@SavingSalvage the transistion was brilliant
Another good one as always looking forward to the next M2 update.
Frozen Boll--s now that is what I call dedication to the channel. I felt guilty sitting in my warm chair with my iPad watching you freeze to diag the Audi thanks for your brilliant work as usual. Tom
Love your dedication to do this in -4 c ! Reminds me of when I was younger !
I've a 18 plate FL and love it, cant wait to see what you do with this one :)
just started watch your videos, going to binge watch everything. I’ve already learnt so much :)
Great video and a lot people don't realise that salvage is not cheap but after the car is fixed it can save the next owner a few quid
thank you Dean another interesting project to follow,,👍👍
another one, yes another one, love this channel always coming with new stuff
Another bit of top quality Geeeerman engineering…….Audi..”always under diagnostic inspection”. 😂
Cheers, I will use that!
Great channel matt . I'm no mechanic but love your upbeat views. Merry Christmas 🎅 don't eat too much . Best regards to all your subscribers
😂😂😂😂😂😂 quality..Matt Armstrong trolling
You are hardcore for working with metal in such cold temperatures! I think that price is worth it given your skills and talent.
Love your videos. Will be interesting to follow this project!
The magnetic Cam sensors (the two you removed) usually just cause hunting and erratic idle. That noise sounds like the rods to be honest, but I hope its not that bad for you
Admire your have a go at anything attitude. great content Thanks
Great vid Dean, thought it was a bit pricey though, sounded a bit like valve trouble ?, Really enjoying the cars at the mo, top stuff, looking toward to the next one, well done mate.
Braver man than me fixing cars in that temperature looking forward to some good vag engine content , excellent Channell 👍
Even the spiders have gone inside. You are a hero working outside its frigging freezing
I was going to say it’s a £17k car fixed. Daughters partner has got exactly the same year and spec, I think it’s a great car. £11k is about on the money. I’m amazed at how these S3’s retain their value, but when you consider the spec and tuning potential you start to see why.
It goes to show how dedicated you are to the Chanel
Working and videoing in this weather 🥶🥶👍
Good video as always.keep on doing what your doing.kudos 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Great price, you’re the man👍
You're quickly becoming my favourite car channel👍
Sounds like a broken cam follower. Came across a few of those when I worked at VW. Keep up the great work 👍
Love to see you do an electric car battery upgrade .. hope that A3 engine isn’t too bad good luck
Wow brave man lol I changed 2 bulbs outside and my fingers nearly fell off 🤣
Go and buy yourself one of those £150 diesel heaters you will not regret it go for the 8 kW one very good on diesel and you can burn your old engine oil but don’t tell anyone😉
I read that the government have stopped the sale of Red Deisel for people running generators etc which if true is a bummer for workshop heating.
Love the frosty spiderwebs...
Best of luck. And jezz fair play working outside in this North Pole weather. A true soldier be good to see it running nice motor 👌
12:19 Don't forget to mention the 1.8 TSI Golf Mk6 of the year 09/10. It is a special edition with EA888 as well.
Looking forward to this one as an S3 owner. I’ve had nothing but issues with mine 😂
You'll know about when you get a bit older Dean working outside and scrambling on the ice cold floor matey, get it in the garage and some heat on. Having said that your definitely not phased by the cars you buy and the problem they might have.
All the best for Christmas and the New Year to you and you family.
you are certainly hard core working outside in them temperatures 🥶🥶🥶
Engine is fkd a lot of work someones already decided it wasn't worth there wile fixing, but you seem to be well up for the work and you always do excellent work god bless you brother thanks for the upload
I thought you paid around £10k for the S3, wasn't far off. Hats off to you for working in that weather lol
Coolants empty mate.. Known fault on these too lol. Loving the channel, smashing it as always, keep it up!!
How did you find motivation to start there in that condition ? 😅. Im even struggle to start projects in my heated garage. Anyway, love your videos, and looking forward to see more of this S3 👍
Nice video! Would be interesting if you could work on a modern Volvo, maybe a V90 😊
So much want for this being a 5 door 😍
Feel for you pal, freezing cold tools don't help in that weather, they need to make heated latex gloves!!
Love the car!
Would love to see some more cars finished (m2, TVR etc)
I think you you done well on the price .i bought the same engine second hand for £1300 so i think you will earn well feom that .. good episode dean
Brings back memories of fixing Old Ford’s and BL crap in the late 70’s and 80’s in the winter! Severe spanner rash! Nice motor, nasty noise, something definitely clattering! My guess on how much £9k?
This looks like a interesting series, you'll only know if you paid too much for it when you've repaired it!
Missing the cold UK weather. Currently in a hot humid country. Nice build dean... Nice to see european turbo car builds. The japanese cars are getting out of reach at the moment.
That engine is in so many models across vag group, you'd think they'd want it super reliable. I had an 07 a3 with the 200 hp version of it and I must say, it was a great unit. I'm sure mine was a timing belt though. I wonder if a belt is better than a chain with these 300 hp units?
Working in that weather, you’re bonkers
get a diesel heater for the garage, it'll keep you toasty warm in there, cheap! I've rigged one up for my house
Commenting supporting the channel
Dean..you brought back memories of my Dad fitting new big end bearings to our 1954 Morris Oxford in the snows of the winter of 1963!! Another epic journey then..how do you keep up the enthusiasm?? Price?….I would have thought £6/7000 would be brave because a dealer would charge a bunch to do what you are planning. I’m no Audi expert but that noise sounded like camshaft or big end bearing failure…bad news to most but not to you I suspect!! Happy Christmas but don’t stay out in that garage!! 😀😀😀😀
Btw ive got the head and turbo and a few other bits from the old engine lying about if any good, in the process of getting the old block back so maybe have that available to u aswell
Bloody hell fella don't know how you were stripping it down in the cold weather, my hands freeze up walking my dog lol I'm 60 years old like and on blood thinners lol, fingers crossed it's not really bad dean good luck
The car's front looks kind of interesting with the spider webs lol!!
Having bought one in literwlly the same condition interesting to see this, ended up changing my enginw but still got my old one lying around and tbh the old one looked pretty good, turned out to be a bad oil solenoid giving bad oil pressure but unfortunately didmt figure that out till i changed the engine, changed the crankshaft sensor aswell as i had the sam crankshaft and camshaft codes. Had a horribke knock when i furst started it when i got it so assumed it was rod knock but after giving it to the garage and they stripped it down and sent me videos the engine didnt actually look to bad , bjt recon the mechanic i gave it to just wsnted the extra money and less work so he pushed me to change the engine and true i had sent the car off 3 hours away and they ha dit for about 6 months i gor irritated and went off on them but ultimately changed the engine to save headache and time, but i recon the engine i had was fine and it was just bad oil solenoid but havnt been able to het the old block from the mechanic, leading me to think it wasnt a knackered engine, and fyi my engine was exactly rhe same sounding when i started it, just some insight that might be helpful to you 👍
That is really an informative comment. This sounds promising, hopefully he sees it. Even if the rod bearing are a bit knackered, or even pretty rough, they could be changed. As long as the bearing haven't spun it should be alright to change, and if they are spun some with aluminum transfer on the crank that can be fixed with some acid to clean alum off the crank. New engine might be easier depending on how tough it is to get to the rods but hopefully the solenoid will fix it
I have the same problem with my car. Is it definitely a bad oil solenoid? From the second video in there series it sounds like a bad oil pump. And advice would be great!
Did they say it's just a solenoid or was it the oil pump too?
I have a Leon 1.8, which is EA888, and I had to replace my chain at about 18000 miles, due to start up rattle. Upon inspection, the tensioner was past it's max. Supposedly that era of chain was not a long lasting batch [stop-start probably didn't help the life - I am second owner].
This guys out here fixing bangers when he should be a model...
The Ad transition was class 😂
I have a TTs with same engine. So interested in how this goes!
Looks nice, with the known noise issue would assume you paid somewhere close to 10k as I think these fetch 15k+ in decent nick...
maybe 16500..? love the vids keep it going.
Sounded like a spun bearing... from my couch! LOL
Mad man freezing nuts and bolts 🔩
Wait, £17k for a 2014 S3? Seems like a lot.
I saw a 2018 S4 for sale in Germany for about €19k!!
Top spec as well.
S4 is a diesel, enough said 🙈
I suppose it’s all about how much you finally spend on it and the time you put in to it Dean, but you never seem to leave much meat on the bone for yourself, I’d like to see you get good profit out of some cars it’s not all about content, we get it for free, it’s you who needs profit out the content
Is the sunroof in tilt position on the golf7?
Love the content bud
Cheers from🇿🇦
-20C here now. Bloody freezing!
Old mechanics saying, Tapping top end, knocking and rumbling bottom end, usually right.
I take my woolly hat off to you. Diagnosing a car in minus degrees is pretty hard-core!
I've had that noise, turned out to be a collapsed high pressure fuel pump cam follower
Car roulette 5k room seems a bit low but best of luck ma friend
Good luck 🙏🙏
Sounds very ‘bottom End’ Dean, possible oil issue has trashed a big end, that knock right in time with the motor firing. Good luck can’t wait to see the strip down, you do know how to pick them matey don’t you !
You must have a big yard for all the motors you have on the go! In danger of one man being overwhelmed!!!!
I have a fantastic log burner in my workshop warehouse I have 2 fans that blow across it it's great 😎❤️👍🇬🇧
The ea888 gen 3 isn’t really known for chain issues. Im guessing its been thrashed
My daughter has got a A3 2006 we paid £1400 pounds for it she had to have a new battery now, the engine management lights on the side of the globe, plugs, map, sensors, or the glow plug relay so when all the snow is gone and she’s not at work I’ve got a relay tester so tester really for anything else. Hopefully it’s good then I think it’s the map sensor on the big pipes, there’s two of them so hopefully you’ll be one of them
Get some mate's over and push it inside lol take care.
Are the spiders trying to take ovder the world from your gaff 🤣🤣
car aside....I noticed you're running a Windows 6.0 programme as a VM on a W10 laptop...nice! 👌
She’s an old girl 😂
Great video on the S3. I’ve got a A3 2019 1.6 tdi and impressed with the performance/handling can only imagine the S3 ❤👍👍👍
I really do love the shape of the 8V.. And the interiors of these are still so modern.
They all look the same as each other from the a3 to the rs3. very boring look. 8P is way better
8v is the best shape they made , the new A3s look really cheap way to much black plastic all over the place on the outside .
@Tony's Tech & Car's 8P RS3 was the best-looking 8P. The other 8Ps look very dated now.
@Macca I agree. The best overall designed A3 was the 8V.
Hi mate, highly doubt you'll see this but worth a shot. When I get back to England next year I'm going to dive head first into buying and selling. My question is, what do you do about insurance and tax for all your vehicles? Do you have to be a licensed company to get fleet insurance/ trade plates?
Engine parts in the Boot !! In the Words Of Scott Vehcor Somebody's Been Here Before !!!
Next time between Palm trees....much to cold for working outside !
The two "Sensors" you pulled out from the plastic cover are in fact, the VVT actuators. The cam sensors are on the head, one is on the middle and one on the right. I suspect the noise is from the AVS, this means 8 new solenoids and a new exhaust cam. Ask me how I know. Good luck.
What's avs and how do you know about the 8 solenoids?
With an engine problem and the risk (especially as someone else already had a go at fixing it and probably discovered something bad!) I reckon about £8K is a fair price to pay.
There better be a tvr Christmas day special
Sounded like a knackered camshaft to me 🤔
Every car in this weather look like theyre were built in Gotham garage ;D
Hope this is a good buy, but you look frozen!👍👍👍👍👍
Way to put in the work regardless of the temperature. I haven't finished the video yet and I'm guessing you paid £5000 for it. Love the content and the details you share mate. 🤘 Ooof I was way off!
5k thst means his profit margin would be 9-11k hahah
Has somebody fitted a new engine out of a Massey Ferguson? That sounded bad man - interesting to see what you do with it!
