That car looks pretty decent, looking forward to see you get it done and hopefully get a new life with a proud and happy owner. Have a great weekend! Cheers 🙂
Got the same car sline 12 years old and I love it no rust at all and it is always outside had changed most serviceable parts on it and it don’t cost that much only thing I haven’t changed but thinking about it is the turbo I keep hearing the police siren when it is cold but to be honest I drove other A3s and the siren is still there some say as soon that happens change the turbo but it is not loosing power or licking oil or smoking and it’s been like that for 5 years so I think I will wait on that, looking forward to your next video.
Love the vids bro👌 I’d like to start my own similar projects but have little mechanical knowledge just wondering what’s the best way to learn the basics so I can get started without spending too much money
Thats hard to say really, if you have little mechanical knowledge i would say get involved with someone that does and get some knowledge behind you before you jump into a project. Or if you do make sure you have some mates that are clued up
Mate that's a bargain. My favourite shape of A3 and the 170 lumps are great fun. Be nice when its done. Own an Octavia tdi myself love it only a 1.6 mk3 but pulls like a train and has been absolutely reliable only issue I have had is a thermostat that was stuck open fixed cheaply.
Man the circle. I had a Golf MK5, now have an Audi A3 TDI too. Be interesting to see the common problems as I haven't experienced them yet with mine. Although Tandem Pump failure is a common issue on the 140ps
We always used to recommend it at audi. But for me personally I don’t see the point. If it isn’t broke don’t fix it. I’ve changed loads of springs just on one side and never had an issue, and don’t see why you should. IMO of course 😊
Front coils are always breaking on a range of cars. Just shit quality steel especially Renault Lagunas! Just a tip always replace coil springs in pairs or it will 'lean'.

Its actually the uk roads, they are generally 3rd world in many parts of UK. And no one fixes them until a massive crater appears. I have replaced 5 springs on my audi a3 tdi so far.
@ '3rd world'? Whatever you say ... If you have replaced that many on your Audi there is something wrong with the parts you are buying not the roads. Oh and 5? You should be replacing in pairs so either 4 or 6. Maybe thats why they are breaking. I have been driving cars, bikes and trucks for over 50 years and only ever had two broken springs. Both on Lagunas. Its a known issue with them.
Why do those 170hp start so bad,i got a passat with the same engine and it also starts so hardly on every morning when the temperatures are about 0 celsios..?
Hi mate I’ve been watching your vids for a while n they’re great. I was wondering if u could help me? I have an a6 2.7 tdi, which turbo actuator has gone. I’ve bought a new actuator it is still goin in limp mode. It will move up and down when ignition is turned on. Is there any easy way round this? I understand your very busy but any help would be very appreciated thanks. 👍🏾
If its been confirmed the actuator is the problem you are meant to set them up when i new ones fitted. as if they are working outside the parameters it will still go into limp mode, so may be worth checking that
Hi bud... Great content... My old car will be in auction soon... Had a bit of a dodgy repair be a good project for you I have more info if it tickles your fancy... It's a audi TTS stage 2
well done ,a very cheap audi a3 for 400 quid m8,i love the writing on rear class salvage fix me im bored hahahaha great humour buddy ,i really enjoyed the content,.i paid to much at 4500 for my old nice 2010 a3,truble is i like them with no faults and mint condition,i pay premium, im useless at buying used cars i always spend to much for them wish i was clever like you dean m8 you get bargains,keep the great content coming ,take care,all the best pal..from fan pasta man.
Picked up a 2007 A3 2.0tdi with 120k for £150 a month ago Flat tyres, flat battery, filthy, no service for 80k (!), clutch breather valve fault, rear wiper fault....list goes on lol Sorted nearly all of it now and I'm only into it by £400 total....need to clean the EGR out and work out why the rear wiper makes horrible sounds but doesn't move every time I start the car....then it'll be grand Goes well too that 140 diesel In the spirit of the budget I'll be doing the cambelt myself.....can't say I'm looking forwards to that
I pasi 7300 for an sline version of one of these low miles 09 170 last year, 400 quid that's a steal! The wheels themselfs are worth 400 you essentially got a free car 😂
Pan roof, leather and automatic that’s an absolute little gem!
auto lights/wipers, multi function steering wheel and Bose too! bargain
@@bluemorris6608 Even better!!
Will you be selling it afterwards?
Matters only when it works
2007 plate automatic is going to give you problems. Audi fixed its automatic gearboxs from 2013 and up.
This car should be protected at all costs. What a gem.
What a grafter you are, brilliant work on the cars , excellent content even for the non mechanic like myself. always enjoyable.
thankyou :)
For 400euro, you will get this model in germany as a heavy wreck.
Wtf
thats what you get in the uk
Hey, i was thinking of improting car from germany, can i ask you a few questions?
Sure
Can I have your WhatsApp for easy communication with you if you don't mind
Cars in UK are way cheaper, but insurance and tax it way more expensive if i'm not wrong lol
That car looks pretty decent, looking forward to see you get it done and hopefully get a new life with a proud and happy owner. Have a great weekend! Cheers 🙂
I’ve
Got the same A3 2.0t TDI engine
I’m trying replace
the turbo activator if can get the old one off . I see if any tips on next episode 👍
Im hoping i wont need to replace it, but i will explain the process regardless
Love the video! Been looking forward to this out of all your projects!!

@@SavingSalvage good advice. Keep doing the good content. Congratulations on the channel.
Paint is Lava Grey code L Z7L .. . its a pearl finish. looks stunning minted up

Nice video , keep pushing and building we look forward to more content
Good content one of your best buys what a bargain Audi 2.0 A3 tdi sportback is m8ty,
I always wash my car in rain because Im too lazy to dry it off
OMG you are my brother
That was the FILTHIEST start I’ve ever seen 😂❤️😂
Oliver Manser that sounds like he drove it home on the oil light
It's Lava Grey.
Had the same A3 (my first car) 1.6 FSI MJ2005
How much would you want for it once it’s done?
Man the circle. I had a Golf MK5, now have an Audi A3 TDI too. Be interesting to see the common problems as I haven't experienced them yet with mine. Although Tandem Pump failure is a common issue on the 140ps
Hi just started watching your channel do you sell the cars after you’ve done them up and got them back on the road
Nice find it’s like a vw gti but with leather seats and an Audi logo
I thought it normal practice to replace both pairs of springs together even if only one is broken !?
We always used to recommend it at audi. But for me personally I don’t see the point. If it isn’t broke don’t fix it. I’ve changed loads of springs just on one side and never had an issue, and don’t see why you should. IMO of course 😊
What microphone and camera do you use if you don’t mind me asking mate ?
A canon m100, I need to replace it though as it doesn’t support external microphones which is a big issue when trying to film outside
Be a good daily, how much you wanting for it?
Lava grey! Looks amazing when washed and waxed! 😍
Would be interested to see what you sell it for, will you post a link?
Yes i will do :)
Another great video bud.
Thankyou mate
Keep up the good work. I can’t wait to see that RS3 up and running. I want a RS5 next 🙏
I’d like to buy this. Please let me know how I can get it touch
How’s the dreaded DPF?
For dpf you can use obd bluetooth plus android app called vagdpf..
Be interesting to see Turbo core replacement. I have a 59 plate exploding 1.9 BXE engine code Golf. On 92k now
Got a bkc running 170 on 160k runs like a dream
@@rh9224 BKC were one of the best engines, mines shite
James Kirby not quite as good as the asz engines but the better of the pd105s
Not one ounce of smoke on first start for 1 year! Well at least didn't look like it on video...
Nope! She did smell pretty strong though! But the guy I bought it from said it was faultless before it broke down!
I was about to say the same
Thanks to the DPF

Agree looks like lava grey
Why do those 170hp start so bad,i got a passat with the same engine and it also starts so hardly on every morning when the temperatures are about 0 celsios..?
To be fair to it, the battery is f**ked and it’s the first time it’s started in around a year
@@SavingSalvage Yea yea i know that,but they have a common problem starting the engine in the morning on cold but they eventualy start..
@Maxime LY It does that even when it's summer..My friend does have a 170hp audi a4 and it does start hardly too

Saving Salvage thank you I’ll look into that, hopefully it’ll be easy and cheap 😉
Got your self a riiiight bargain there. Dibs on it when you sell it ;)
Awesome work keep it up
Looks like ‘Lava’ grey?!
It is!
Nice , where are you based . Want to visit your garage
Hi bud... Great content... My old car will be in auction soon... Had a bit of a dodgy repair be a good project for you I have more info if it tickles your fancy... It's a audi TTS stage 2
Does sound interesting, i usually stay away from 'previous repairs' though as you just don't know whats going on.
Great video as always! Tell us about the mk5 golf in the corner 🤔
Its a parts car :)
well done ,a very cheap audi a3 for 400 quid m8,i love the writing on rear class salvage fix me im bored hahahaha great humour buddy ,i really enjoyed the content,.i paid to much at 4500 for my old nice 2010 a3,truble is i like them with no faults and mint condition,i pay premium, im useless at buying used cars i always spend to much for them wish i was clever like you dean m8 you get bargains,keep the great content coming ,take care,all the best pal..from fan pasta man.
400 pounds???? That's my dream car and i've been saving for months now to buy it, the cheapest one in my country is 4000$
Picked up a 2007 A3 2.0tdi with 120k for £150 a month ago
Flat tyres, flat battery, filthy, no service for 80k (!), clutch breather valve fault, rear wiper fault....list goes on lol
Sorted nearly all of it now and I'm only into it by £400 total....need to clean the EGR out and work out why the rear wiper makes horrible sounds but doesn't move every time I start the car....then it'll be grand
Goes well too that 140 diesel
In the spirit of the budget I'll be doing the cambelt myself.....can't say I'm looking forwards to that
how'd you get it for that cheap?
would rs3 lights work on tdi?
Yeah the lights on the rs3 are no different to the black edition a3's (xenon front and tinted rear led lights)
I’m a student and I’m considering buying this car for essential $6000 USD should I?
Very nice car an absolute bargain
Anyone knows wheel size and model?
I love the Audi A3 in black
I pasi 7300 for an sline version of one of these low miles 09 170 last year, 400 quid that's a steal! The wheels themselfs are worth 400 you essentially got a free car 😂
Shame you didn't give it a rev when it got goin.g first rule of any person whos a mechanic start rev it a bit to get it warmed up remember that
The turbo has gone on it, so don’t want to rev it to make it any worse
Ok
Just needs some S line springs and alloys
4:55 , Dissapointed , was hoping to hear the San Andreas theme tune kick in :(
Excellent video, very nice pace. How many miles has it done? You're v handsome I'd love you to look after my car
400 iv got some bit coins for a tenner
I did drive this exact car... Great pulling power on motorway but I had to sell it😭
DPF fucking up too much😢
I have a 1.9 Audi A3 S Line 2009 plate and i fucked up the dpf on mine too 😂😂

Moral of the story: don’t buy German
15 min video washing and looking round a car. Not your usual content
I was away all this week unfortunately so had next to no time to film this video! But I thought it’s best to have something rather than nothing.
@@SavingSalvage I enjoyed it thankyou
ewwww, automatic
that is a DSG, the correct definition would be Automated Manual Transmision.

jes use to love your videos but now there just 10mins of explaining problems about whats wrong.. more action plz
Sorry I didn’t have much time last week to film as I was away all week! So this video was more of an introduction. More content to come though 👍🏽
