Got wheels done at alloy fix romford, and you do get 20% of if you mention Matt Armstrong's channel, and looks like there is no expiry date, so mention channel get 20% off
Those alloys look really smart, it's like an OEM+ look, I thought you was going for gloss black at first and I was like nooooo. Don't stop the how to videos they were the most interesting and helpful 👍👍😁 good editing on the video as well I wouldn't have a clue how to do that. Looking forward to the next upload, cheers 👍 Jack.
@@jackmillin Ha Ha, I did the same thing!! Thought what the 'eck is that racket. Great video as usual. Looking forward to what happens next. Just out of interest are there any more A5/S5 gotcha's that you are aware of?
Happy to find this channel before it blows up. 250K subs during 2020 shouldn't be a problem, especially not if you decide to boost this thing at some point. People tend to love the potential of turning a cheap/broken car into a monster. To companies watching: sponsor this fella early.
Once again excellent video Mat. It was an absolute pleasure having you down here. Just wanted to mention anybody coming to us from Mats’s channel please make us aware so we can apply the discount.
Alloys looks amazing! Alloy Fix in Romford is the only place I'd recommend to get your alloys fixed, refurbished and custom coloured. The guys are so professional and go above and beyond. I had a great experience with them too. Good luck Mat with the rest of the S5...cant wait to see more videos of it.
Wheels are the bomb!!💥💯 going back to watch these older videos....noticed how much you mention what other people say or think about how you do things....how you have grown....who gives a toss what anyone thinks ...you are a genius and a joy to watch.😃
come on lad, lets get to 50K subs in the next 24 hours.. you got this! channels flying bro! all love! happy to see you succeeding, remember you being at 2k subs not 5/6 weeks ago laaa
Excellent video Mat. Really enjoyed seeing the whole process with the wheels. The new wheels look fantastic and the colour is spot on. Well done in dealing with the problems the S5 keeps throwing at you. Cant wait to see what in store next.
New to the channel and watched the Ferrari and murcielago and respectfully you’ve really improved your videos and delivery on camera since this one. Love the channel and the content!
The cap thing has happened to all my audis, keep an eye on the reservoir they tend to crack and split open. In fact the reservoir on my 05 a6 4.2 is going bad now that I mention it, one of the return ports has broken off. Had to make a quick repair to get it home, should be here in a couple of days. Like I said, its very common so used to it. Luckily it's a cheap fix. Thanx for the video
@@ftgoggi4715 it's a crazy thing to happen. 96 a6 2.8 twice, 00 a6 2.8, 00 a6 4.2 cap and res, 02 a6 4.2, 05 a6 4.2 first cap now res. Like you, none of my other cars.
That place in Romford, Essex takes wheel refurbishment to the next level! With the amount of work that’s involved it almost seems it would be cheaper to get a new set of wheels but fair play 10/10 job.
Just telling you that all you do is the best way to do it. You're a great youtuber with lots pf good videos ! I watch your videos from switzerland, and your cars are amazing ! You're the best bro ! Continue !
You should probably bleed the coolant system to make sure there are no air pockets for potential issues with overheating in the future, doesn't take long and it could potentially prevent massive damage like warping the head , keep up the god videos tho mate, really enjoy watching!
Really interesting actually - wish I'd gone to these guys with the recurring issues I had with my E92 325i I used to have. Used two different places, both cowboys. Turns out it's worth the drive!
Good video as always! The reason you had the kettling in the tank was because the system was no longer pressurised lowering the boiling point. Nice easy fix though! I'll be ordering one for mine now as a precaution.
Qualtiy videos mate! Always adored the V8 8T S5’s with all my heart. Can’t wait to see the progress on it. Quite happy with my 2014 S-Line A3 1.8 TFSI, but god damn you’re tempting me to ruin my wallet and go for an S5 V8 (they’re 30K over here for a cheap one with issues) Keep up the great content, always makes my day good when I see your vids 🤘🏻
Love the channel mate 👍 Audi use to be my go to car but my last one blew up on me I had a s3 64 plate full service main dealership history ,one previous owner. Got it at 30.000 miles had it for over a year and put just under another 10.000 on it Took it to Audi for a £600+ service and 800 miles later my engine blew up on the m25 Oil uptake pipe broke starving my big end of oil ..... something like that , not very good with engines . £3000 for engine rebuild and sold as quick as I could , I love em but I'd never own another again , keep up the vids mate they are great
Thats the only problem with buying cars like that second hand. You know it was probably ragged around for most of those miles before you bought it. However, I bought a second hand A3 2.0 Tdi with 40k on the clock, i sold it on 125k miles and even with a remap, exhaust, lowered and a hybrid turbo i never had any problems. I probably could have changed the flywheel towards the end but thats about it.
Really enjoyed this one too! Are you going to wrap the car? Maybe a modest bodykit, to keep it close to OEM? And a small but elegant carbon spoiler on the back? Wheels came out super! Glad you didn’t make them gloss black. Mettalic gun metal gray would suite the car as well 👍👍👍
Bloody hell lol Every time you find a issue, I got and check mine as well lol Only issue I have with my S5 is having to bury the clutch pedal to get it to start, been told its a bent arm in the box somewhere, common premature failure part I have been told..
Good vid mate. The know it alls have very rarely done anything other than press some keys on a keyboard somewhere sometime . Keep up the good work👍 Nice wheels!!

gee wiltshier small correction 10% off (don’t want to upset anybody) and yes there is no expiry. Thank you choosing to come to us.
how much does it cost? 4 wheels refurb
@@e2k85 how much?
@@wilkinsonyachtbrokerUK you shouldn't pay more than £250+vat so £300 most places will most likely do ot for £50-£60 cash per wheel

I was thinking literally the same! The silver accents (wheels included) really look good on an S/RS model, maybe leave black for BMW M :)
Don't even get me started on the smoke alarm guys 😂 it's my pissing neighbours it's been going off for a week!!! IT HAS BEEN SORTED NOW THANK GOD

#ArmstrongCrew everyone take a moment to appreciate we were all here when he was sub 50k!

Those wheels look stunning, I'd have chosen the same colour, they did a brilliant job
Good video, quality editing. I'm sure you inspire many people on here to start and finish there projects. Good work!
Agree with that mate finally started doing something with my a5 3.0 tdi
New to the channel and watched the Ferrari and murcielago and respectfully you’ve really improved your videos and delivery on camera since this one.

S5 looking sweet. I need these wheels for my TT
Slip the clutch. You should make some vids on your TT 🙂
I got that on my 8j looks great
Instant like for another great video. Your twin brother plays a good cameo role : ) Superb Job on the wheels BTW.
Love Hannah sitting absorbed by her phone in the car at the end, brilliant😂
You shouldn't worry so much about comments. Haters will hate regardless. Looking forward to seeing this when it's finished.
By far the best video you’ve made so far editing wise, keep it up🤞🏻

Was here for the car but the dog sold it for me I’m a new sub
It's likely not the project that picked up more following--because you content is very much entertaining. It's the damn TH-cam algorithms!
Thank you so much
These are great videos, I have been getting a bit sick of samcrac doing 50 videos where he removes 1 bolt per video. Keep it up!
No idea why I've become so attached to this car. Keep it coming mate can't wait to see what's next.
Wheels look good!! Lucky you haven't damaged the engine with the coolant issue - glad its sorted and looking forward to the next one :)
Killing it mate. Look forward to these videos way to much ! Keep up the great work.
The job those guys did on the wheels is genuinely incredible.
Don't forget to check the anti freeze levels you don't want core plugs pushing out or a cracked block / rad .great video's cheers mate
I’m loving these s5 video updates 👌👌👌
Really interesting actually - wish I'd gone to these guys with the recurring issues I had with my E92 325i I used to have. Used two different places, both cowboys. Turns out it's worth the drive!
Love it man keep up the great work. Riding with you all the way on this one. 👍👍
I can't get enough of this project! Keep it up mate.
That refurb job was sick af. I will be doing getting my TT Wheels done soon, hopefully my local place can do the job half as well as this!
You’re damn right you’ve picked up new followers with this car. I’m one of them. I got the same gen A5
Another great one Mat. This machine is really turning from a beast to a beauty.
