Honestly, I think Tyler is the reason why a lot of these cars are still surviving and it's awesome.
Catch and release
I do food videos while high af on my TH-cam channel.
more like YT revenue the reason lolz
Tyler is the reason so many car mechanics are still surviving.
Good point
i love how Mr Ninja keeps his shop sparkling clean
uses a lot of cardboard
Ninja and Car Care Nut could go head to head for the cleanest shop.
@@chrisg723 Ninja for the win. 😉
Came here to say the same thing. It's like a hospital operating theatre.
My former mechanic kept his shop immaculate like Ninja's. He did great work and was honest to a fault. Haven't been able to find as good a mechanic since he retired.
The Ninja looks WAAAY too excited to see Tyler. It's the same look my old orthodontist had whenever he'd see my folks and me.
$$$
Wish we'd see more of him
Hoovie has to use the cash back card
My dentist too, I make his Maserati payments every time I see him.
oil change not included :D
that's why i like watching tyler, he's not afraid to take a hit, if he likes car - he takes it.
He's taken more hits than rocky balboa.
@@generalzod7959 Yes but hits generate views and therefore $
@@AB-jz9ns oh, I know. And the wizard & ninja love him for it. 😄 plus, it's entertaining.
Damn right. And he`s got taste. Rare are the youtuber into the smooth rides and no afraid to mourn the death of soft, affordable cars
its not really character stopping most people, more funding but yeah its cool hoovie does crazy things for a living :)
The Ninja knocked it out of the park on this one. It sounds so good.
This is the kind of project that originally brought me to Hoovies YT channel. I hope he continues this tradition of finding interesting, classic cars that can be brought back to life and used again as they were once intended. No more brand new cars or trucks please.
Ninja is typical Balkan mechanic,
"When do I pay you?"
"When you want."
🤣🤣🤣
Opening the electric-powered shades in the back of the Maybach made it seem like a hotel room with windows on all four sides. Cool!
hoovie getting bent over is a tradition unlike any other!
And not even the common courtesy of a reach around
Well he keeps buying eurotrash which is how he keeps his channel afloat with views, otherwise he wouldn't have a channel of hoopties with toyota's, honda, acura's or lexus.
@@fiily1fr? tell me more🤔😥
@@fiily1 That is so true
The S5 is still a dream car. It's great that the prices are getting low on them but the repair costs are terrifying
the most expensive car in the world is a cheap German car
Wait to buy this one cheap after it financially ruins Tyler 😅
I always seem to want these sweet Euro rides until I watch Hoovies videos. Think I’m gonna have to pass on this one.
The budget-busting repair costs are exactly why the used market prices for these cars are so low, you know.
Of course, depreciation is multi-faceted; reliability or lack thereof is just one factor in the equation.
My Grand Marquis is reliable and cheap to fix, but Ford made a ton of them and they aren't cool cars to most people.
@@Watcher3223 And that's the reason why I'll never get one. Could afford the price but die on the upkeep
Great episode. The styling of the Audi is a masterful accomplishment.
Audi absolutely nailed their styling around 2008-2010: A5 and A7 are absolutely beautiful! Even the A4 and the Q5 of the period look fantastic for what they are.
Ninja is a great guy. May he live forever
I have a white '08 and I absolutely LOVE it! So far (4 years already!) no major problems. Did a carbon clean and the Oil housing gaskets myself about a year ago. If one considers what mid teens buys you nowadays, I'd say these are a decent bargain if you can do a few things yourself or can make peace with the repair costs if it does break. Loved that you did some content on one!
A lot of people are afraid of high mileage bmws but I have been seeing a lot go on sale with 150k miles for a bargain price. Even if you have to throw in 3k to make it mechanically perfect, I think it's worth it as long as it doesn't look beat up.
@@stevelouie5928 someone near me was trying to sell a 300k mile clapped out 3 series for 7 grand. A week later it was 3500 and a week after that it got scrapped. Bargains are getting hard to find for sure.
I agree. I bought my first car, which was a 2008 Audi A6 4.2l Quattro S-line in an auction for $4200 after tax. It has 162k Miles, but the people regretted to tell me the transmission was toast. After 7 months of sitting and fixing, plus 5k in repairs, it been running and driving reliably. I'm at 178k Miles and while I do have oil and coolant leaks, it was never really a problem if u had an oil pan to put underneath. All my friends are always asking to buy it off me or to keep it for the day. Im 18 now and I still love my Audi ❤️
@@jacobbenton1147 Beat up economy cars are selling for 5k. Might as well buy a higher mileage european car for cheap and throw another 5k into and drive something fun. There are a lot of gems out there for 5k or less that are really clean. I just saw a 3 series wagon for under 4k with high miles. Even the first gen ML320s can be had for 3 - 5k tops. You could turn that into an off road beast.
@@stevelouie5928 the 163 mls are all junk now though, I’d rather pay a little more for a 164 cause they hold up way way better. Not everyone has 15k to throw at a German car though.
As the saying goes, “There’s nothing more expensive than a cheap German car.” Great content nonetheless!
'Cheap German car in the U.S.'
non mantained one... All those issues could have been so easily prevented with proper maintenance. Probably used cheap gas too on not to few occasions.
@@AI-qd4vb Yes, most of the issues could be prevented with the proper maintenance, but most people here in the US don’t do it either due to cost or they don’t care/know, hence why it’s sold on for cheap.
Tyler that is what it's al about - Bringing an old hooptie back to life.
And the Ninja - He is the best mechanic - Thx for another great video 👌👍
I love how Tyler's love for cars shows, in the way he spends his money on them. I specifically watch Hoovie because your care shines through and its not all about earnings!
I love Ninja so much more, he's humble and nice!!
I learned early in my automotive journey that the floor of a mechanics shop is one reflection of the quality of their work and attention to detail. You could eat soup off of Ninjas shop floor. Bravo
The reason for running coolant through that intake part is to keep it warm under very cold conditions and prevent "carburetor icing". There's probably a venturi in either the throttle body or the mass flow sensor. If you're driving in cold and humid conditions, the venturi will cause a pressure drop and a temperature drop in the intake air, and that will cause water to condense and freeze. That will eventually choke off the air supply. When this happens in an airplane it's Very Bad with a capital Bad.
I learned this in my 1979 Lancia Beta, which has a sideways Fiat 131 motor. The carburetor and intake manifold point forward into the cold intake air. One freezy sleety night driving in the Colorado Rockies I experienced this problem: I had some power at full throttle or no power at part throttle or idle. I stopped at an intersection and found a dumpster. In it I found a sweater, which I stuffed under the intake manifold and wrapped it all around. I let it warm up and drove on. The engine was happy … until the spring, when the carburetor got all vapor-locked.
They say pain is the great teacher of mankind. Italian cars fit in there somewhere, too.
Oh, yes, I learned a great deal about auto maintenance from my Lancia. Then I got a Honda and forgot it all. A BMW that would have been a great Hoovie story that I paid $3k for ($27k too much) taught me again. Now my Prius is, thankfully, letting me forget my car maintenance skills … aside from signing the credit card receipt.
I own a 2003 Passat with the i4L 2.0 20V ALT, which is essentially the same architecture, esp. since the ALT is an Audi engine.
The MAF is a platinum wire located just after the air filter. The throttle bodies on these cars are all electronic (EPC), so it's just a butterfly valve with a solenoid in the TB itself. There isn't any kind of Venturi valve, as such. The vacuum is created by the motion of the pistons combined with outside atmospheric pressure. The fuel runs in a loop (tank to rail and back to the tank again) via a pressure regulator, and the ECU controls the injector opening duration.
The PCV vents in to the intake stream upstream of the MAF and downstream of the TB on my ALT, so maybe that helps keep the butterfly valve warm in cold weather. Not sure whether this maybe had to be routed differently on the V8 engines?
Either way, I agree with your analysis in principle, and a quick search confirms that the reason for the design was indeed to prevent the butterfly valve from icing up in weather where the temperatures are below freezing.
That said, I still find it odd/interesting that Audi felt the need to add this extra heating element to the TB on the V8. The exhaust manifolds on these cars chuck out some serious heat, and they're located beneath the cold air intake. Plus cold air is better in the intake (denser O2 content), so it seems counter-intuitive to heat it.
Suspect this may be a bit of a gimmick to give the driver a sporty throttle response immediately upon entering the car, even when the engine is cold and there's snow outside. Obvs redlining a cold engine will significantly shorten its service lifespan, but maybe that's what a cynical person might say the manufacturer intended....?
@@Grantidge69 Icing in the throttle bore has always been an issue, carb or FI, car or airplane.
In days of yore, 4 cylinder engines or straight 6's, the carbs and intake manifolds were usually mounted right above the exhaust manifold. And some still had some provision for coolant or exhaust heat to keep them warm.
Merely a few decades ago, my fuel injected GTI (8V, HT or RD code) had a throttle body with no coolant hoses going to and from it, and it wasn't directly near the exhaust (but not too far away.) Took me a day or two of thinking about this to remember -- there's a thermostatically controlled flap in the air filter box, to either draw completely outside air in mild or hot weather, but in cold weather, a door moved and air was pulled from a duct right up against the exhaust manifold.
Nowadays, they use coolant hoses. I'd like to think they've got a thermostat to reduce the addition of heat to the incoming air when it's not needed.
Even without a venturi, I suspect there's still a pressure drop after the throttle butterfly.
@@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261 Thanks for the response and info. I just went out and had a look at my i4L... and there is indeed a spigot on the hard coolant line above the intake manifold that diverts coolant through the throttle body. !!
Kind of embarrassed now. Thought I knew my engine architecture pretty well.... Every day is a school day, huh?
I note the heat shield by the air filter housing extends up and under the MAF sensor housing, as it is located above the exhaust manifold and cat. So I think this architecture is intended to keep the butterfly valve warm, but not so much the actual charge air.
And yes: the more the butterfly valve opens, the more the air pressure will drop, but the air mass increases, so the outside atmospheric pressure can push a greater volume of air into each chamber on its intake stroke, all the way up to WOT.
There is defo also a MAP sensor on this i4L, so there is a constant comparative calculation between the MAF and the MAP data, and the data from the O2 sensors taking place. Gotta 💌 engineers, right?
1st great sign: Ninja loves what he does! Master of his craft 👌
The magician is a good choice for a broken chevy
The Ninja is so awesome!!!
I am absolutely loving the cameos (planned or not) that other YTers make in each others' videos recently. It's a lot of fun!
who is the guy with 65 cars?
@@Siracusano jrgarage.
@@Siracusano JR garage
I just wish it wasn't JR garage. They lied about how they funded everything and one of the brothers recently killed a friend street racing. Fuck those guys.
@@SiracusanoShmee paid him a visit recently also. Likes 944’s.
These Audi V8's direct injection engines are an absolute nightmare, the valves requiring walnut blast cleaning is just the tip of the iceberg! Buying an S3 isn't dodging a bullet Tyler...lol
3:11 Unpackaging parts even if they aren’t for your own car is always like a kid at Christmas
I love the sunrise through the rear curtains on the Maybach. Only in the life of Hoovie. 🌅
Thank you for saving this car. I’m a BMW/Mercedes guy through and through, but this gen S5 with the V8 and 6 speed I’ve always had a soft spot for. Brilliant car :)
Always glad to see the Car Ninja.
Great to see the Ninja again
Seeing JR hanging out at the Ninja's shop in a Hoovie video is like old times
Yup reminds of the days Hoovie had that Alpina B7 that was a total grenade lol
How to fix your exotic sports car in a budget? Buy it as it is, sell it to Hoovies, and buy it again after some months for similar price.
I own a 2007 S4 cabriolet with the 4.2L V8 and 6spd. Love it. I feel your pain.
It's my understanding that coolant runs through the throttle to heat it up so it doesn't freeze. I remember some people bypassing there's in temperate climates to lower intake temps.
i love the S5. its a timeless design. good exhaust note (the V8) yadda yadda. its a shame & a blessing audi values plummet. its such a good looking car & like u said. so much car for under 25k.
That car is such a beast. :-) I'm so glad it has found new life and hopefully the next owner will get to really appreciate it. :D
Great video about S5.
Those are phenomenal cars; even if in Europe, the repairs are sometimes "cheaper" or easier.
My S4 Avant 4.2 Manual, sometimes asks for a lot of money, but always delivers incredible fun, especially in winter.
Yes, another great video from the Hoovie! I have an S4 too, not particularly fast but it sounds wonderful. Have you ever carbon cleaned yours?
@@ArcofZen I use crc intake valve cleaner on my 3.0 supercharged Q7 and it does a great job. Its a cheap and quick alternative but obv not as good.
@@ArcofZen These V8 sound really great. have a B7 S4, so it's port-injected, and the last time I checked, intake was reasonably clean.
If you want to make yours faster, try Jackal Motorsports tunes.
Slowly I am preparing to port my intake and try out what "Stage 3" might offer.
@@nelietis96 is it much effort to check? I had a TT years ago, mapped to ~265bhp which felt quite rapid. I know my B7 is heavier but it still doesn’t feel like it has 339bhp!
@@ArcofZen You would have to remove the whole intake to take a look, but it's not really a problem, that B6 and B7 have.
Mine was replaced due to the flap not operating and reducing torque at low rpm when I fixed the carnage that was left after the chain decided to jump a tooth.
It jumped because I decided to participate in a track day with broken guides😅
Now RS4 guides, all new seals all around, working intake flap and she is pulling strong.
Because I got the car so cheap, even after engine replacement/tune-up, car cost me the same amount as a good example from Germany would cost to import.
As this is the fastest car that I have ever driven or owned, so for me on the street it's plentiful and track cares more about handling anyways.
That seems like a pretty sweet ride for the money. I’d def pay $15k for that. Nice safe Tyler.
Johnnie is really a hell of a mechanic. I wish him to live forever!
Please do more with the ninja, great guy
I always buy broken used cars and fix them...long before i ever heard of hoovie....but he REALLY makes me rethink the whole proposition....
The secret to that is to stay away from German cars
If you do the work yourself, which takes skill, experience, facilities and equipment.....then it works. Most people can't so don't. If you can, that's a saving!
Car ninja is a beast, a glutton for punishment. My kinda mechanic
Wow that is a sweet audi. Sometimes you have to ante up to get them right but that sounds awesome. Nice Job.
Jeff from JR Garage, JR from WatchJRGo, Car Ninja, Hoovie and that awesome S5, what a great video!
lol. Ninja: Pay when you can.
Wizard: Tackles Hoovie because he took a step in the direction of the exit before paying.
I remember sleeping in the rest stop once, I woke up to the sound of sweeping and a guy was at the window watching me.
Good video Tyler it's something a little different and hope you pump out more videos like this
Such a gorgeous car. That has been a car I have been wanting for a long time but can never afford one. Keep saving these cars.
Ninja: It drives beautifully.
Hoovie: Can I drive it?
Ninja: Sure you can.
Hoovie: Do I have to pay first?
Ninja: Do not worry about it.
Hoovie: States into camera directly at Wizard! 😅😅😅😅
I've always loved these things but been scared to own one. But the look on Ninja's face in the end makes me really want to take the plunge. He can never hide his feelings about a car, and you know it's good when he gets giddy.
I'll take the S5 when you're ready to sell. Could use an upgrade from my TT.
I have a 2004 TT and I was thinking the same thing... 😁😁
@@AndrewAMartin mine is a 2005
@@speedboard. Nice! I don't drive mine enough, and I don't get to enjoy putting the top down very much where I live, so it sits like one of Hoovie's hoopties...
Hoovie and audi goes together like oil and water
More car ninja please , we love the car wizard but ninja is so nice we don’t see enough of him on the channel.
The coolant line keeps the throttle body warm to prevent moisture in the air from freezing the butterfly valve shut in cold weather
That Maybach hotel stay + curtain opening sequence was perfect.
That's a good looking Audi! I'm biased because it looks like mine, but without that nice interior. And a manual V8? Love it. How comfortable are those seats?
You can drive a lot of hours in those seats. They don't look so comfy but they really are. Love my S5. It's a great GT car.
We must protect Ninja at all costs... his attention to the minor details is very rare in his industry.
Wonderful job by the Car Ninja!
Thanks for posting.
🏁🏁🏁 Let’s have a moment of silence for Tyler’s wallet 😂 it’s a never ending money sink pit… but I love it and I’m here for the destruction of funds 🤑
😂 BURN BABY BURN 🔥
Literally Tons and Tons of depreciating assets 😂
Moment of silence? He's gotten rich buying trashy cars and throwing away money on them.
@@BabyJesus66 umm no it is well documented that Tyler has other businesses he makes money off he’s not rich from buying hoopties
One thing you can count on... if Ninja tells you it needs to be replaced, it *REALLY* needs to be replaced and nobody will do the job better.
Also, Ninja has to be getting tired of fixing Hoovies Garbage. ;)
HAHA i watched JR's video this morning and thought to myself. I wonder if Hoovie will make an appearance soon. Boom a few hours later there you are in your own video!
I just recently stumbled upon your channel. And I just enjoy what you do.
And the cars that can keep running. Yes you buy them cheap but they are pricey to fix and maintain.
Thank you for the great content.
Wow wizard rejecting Tyler's car must say a lot about that audi.
This is the first time I've ever seen car wizard refuse a hooptie.
He also refuse any BMW Tyler buy.
He's said no to a few cars but yeah, it's usually because he expects them to be absolute headaches, but those headaches seem to be ones the Ninja has had so many times he doesn't even feel them anymore.
Interesting. WatchJRgo and JR Garage in the same video.
Both JRs in one video. Heavy hitter video 😂. Love the video Tyler
Always great to see John Ross in your videos.
Hmm. At $15K, its tempting to make an offer. :)
Very good content, keep it up. ;)
Nice Audi, and nice job Ninja. I had to do the same de-carb on my 2008 S6 V10 as the valves where almost blocked with carbon, i noticed a huge difference in power
Thanks Tyler for the great content. Love the Audi S/RS line of cars and glad you saved that one.
Wow, what a nice Audi S5! I have a 2014 S5 and would love to drive that manual V8!! My first Audi was a 2001 S4 6M and I loved it (once I put in a short throw shifter) but growing family forced a sale :(
I love cameos! Let's see more JR, Elliot, and Jake!
Jonny had the "Z8 smile" again!
I want one :-)
I'll buy it and finish restoring it. It has a cracked core support and some other issues with the body but I'll take it when you are ready to sell Tyler.
Dear Hoovie's video editor, can you please level the audio between scenes/cameras properly? Sincerely, my bleeding ears.
Understatement of the Year
Hoovie "So much different than the Wizard."
Because it's fixed the 1st time.
The Wizard doesn't usually do that?? Ok...
@@jaybeemhardscrote7466 - Nope.
He should be Australian. Because of all the cars that boomerang back to fix what he missed or messed up himself.
@@BA-gn3qb I've seen a time or two when there's been an issue or two, even Tyler's cars sometimes, but the Wizard really seems to know a thing or two about fixing cars and doing it right. But I guess I don't know
@@jaybeemhardscrote7466 - Been watching Hoovie for quite a while now. Never a problem having a car fixed by Ninja.
Always problems with Wizard.
Ninja's place is cleaner and well run. Not Wizard's. He also never finishes his own pet projects, and recently sold some incomplete to others.
I love watching you bring these things back!!
Definitely one of your best buys lately... it's a gem.
Nice to see one of your cars with a good mechanic also...
I've been looking at these to possibly replace my b5 S4. Thanks for the video!
I have the exact same S5 except with tiptronic transmission. I did the same job (Carbon clean and oil filter housing o-ring replacement) in 6 hrs. I am not a trained technician but was able to research all the info needed to do it right. The point being that if your willing to learn, owning older German cars is not as scary as some make it out to be.
Thank goodness the Ninja is honest. Tyler wouldn't know if something was leaking or not
"It's a German thing."
Regular Maintenance? Yeah it's a Must.
Using the right octane? A Given.
Sloppy owner before Hoovie? Obviously!
Thanks Tyler, for cleaning up these gems, and letting them sparkle.
Great car, and I loved the music 🎼 that you played for the Maybach 😊
Oh heck yes. JR in the house!!
FYI, the reason coolant runs through the throttle body is to keep the throttle valve from freezing while open. Happened to me one winter when I blocked that line off, found out that hose was important the very scary way after I couldn't stop and nearly rear-ended someone.
ninja deserves every bit of that !
Nice cars and outstanding personalities in this video.
Greatful for the video with the car ninja and also greatful for you getting an audi as I'm obsessed with Audi's. Thanks hoovie.
I had a manual 2010 Audi S5 V8. muffler delete, and it’s sounded glorious. also put in a short shifter. drove fantastic! miss that car. actually prefer it over my 2021 RS5, for many reasons.
Hoovie thank you I needed this videos after a long and sad day, and thank you car ninja always humble and polite "the German ninja"
The Car Ninja and Car Wizard both have the right names. They either get in and out of the car like a ninja on a covert mission, or they are performing feats of mechanical magic on these vehicles. I never stop geeking out on how fast the ninja is working on cars. He said 20 minutes and the tranny is almost out . That’s stooopid (not stupid) fast.
Awesome car Tyler! Keep it going!!!!
I've got a '13 S5 (yes I know not the V8, but the supercharged V6 is a fantastic engine. You keep them up to date on maintenance and they're amazing cars.
Love Jonnie. Such a great attitude to life
River Of Goo was the original title to Billy Joel’s song…but studio executives suggested River Of Dreams and the rest is history.
I got a 2012 s5 will be doing the work my self this car is sick i love it.. once i get it mechanically sound i will be adding qtp cut out to hear that beautiful 4.2 roar 😮
Still one of my all-time favorite cars! I actually test-drove a brand new S5 back in 2008 and I just remember thinking it was my ultimate dream car at the time. Crazy that you have that same car now for just $6900 (well, plus repairs)! Just a cracking great deal!
I never knew the Audi S5 even existed, but now I want one so bad. Beautiful car.
Thanks for saving yet another car from the scrapers
Nice to have it all fixed. Have fun with it now.
Two JRs in one Hoovie video at the Ninja's. It was a 4-fer.
Welcome to my home town... Hope to run into you some day! Was that at Scottsdale Airport? I dont think that was DeerValley or Glendale, looked like Scottsdale airpark.
Those 4.2 S5s start drinking coolant at around 100k miles. There's a coolant pipe on each head that passes through the upper timing covers. O-rings on the pipes start leaking into the crankcase. If you're really patient and have a good assortment of 1/4in drive sockets/swivels/extensions you can do this job without pulling the engine, but you have to have the intake manifold removed.
