That color match was ON POINT!!!! Only you could spend thousands and bargain hack the same mod😂😂😂
You know, I never realized Sarah had real clean fingers and cool looking nails!
It just goes to show you, you can work on a vehicle and keep clean! Mechanics get a bad rap for being dirty. Been wrenching for 30 years and my hands and nails are just as clean as the day I was born. Keep up the good work!! Cheers.
watching your video I feel like I was with you in your garage. Technology is changing the world fast. Thanks for sharing. You are a fantastic host.
Wow that ocular is pretty close! I made pressure bleeder out of a weed sprayer... And made my own caps for the brake systems I use it on.. Was cheap and pretty easy to make. I have always used my hand vacuum tool to clean out the master and filed it with new fluid and then bleed the system... Saves getting the air in. Seems tow work well... Good that you have people that willed you tools!
The paint job on the rear calipers came out great! Plus, am I the only person that finds the clicking of a torque wrench satisfying? I use mine on nearly every mechanical fastener.
Congratulations!! I am most impressed with your color matching. That is way more difficult than one would think. I know because I have botched it plenty of times.
I never really comment but I've been watching for a while now......love the videos Sarah! Your passion for cars comes through in each vid and that's so cool to see. Also your quirky sense of humor is awesome. You're very genuine and that's rare to see these days on TH-cam or in real life world lol.
The calipers look sick. Love how the TT is coming along. Keep up the good work!
Just as a future reference if you spray the calipers white first for a base coat and then apply your mixed color afterwards you will get a far closer match as just putting your final color over the raw metal itself will make your mixed color look darker than what it should be. Whereas if you put your mixed color over top of a white surface it will pop and be far more accurate of a match. Not critiquing just getting some experience that I've learned from the years. Love the channel and keep doing what you doing
Great video, Sarah. That caliper paint job looks awesome. The wheel spacers worked out really well too. I appreciate your hard work and dedication to your channel and subscribers.
The compress and twist calipers are the ones which combine rear and parking brake functions. The twisting comes from the self adjust mechanism of the parking brake function.
There is a tool for those, comes with a bunch of adaptors to fit every type and it's not expensive.
Good paint matching!
Tip for next time:
Depress the brake pedal until you get light pressure and keep it there with a stick. Then you can open up the brake lines without loosing much of the brake fluid.
Its always better to not introduce air into the system even if the plan is to flush everything out.
Hi Sara. You make some very good videos. I love your sense of humor. Greetings from Spain and happy new year.😀
Another great video. Just shows your dedication on this project. The brake callipers look great. Amazing to see the snow. It was 108f here in Melboune OZ today. Then by late afternoon it dropped to 40f in half an hour. Love your tech ta
Tech talk. You are the perfect woman. You love cars and can work on them as well.
The rear caliper is designed that way to accommodate the emergency/parking brake.
You can buy a universal kit of different presses for brakes. The proper tools are easier, they remove the risk of pushing the pucks / pistons back at an angle, and they're not expensive given how much brake work you end up doing in a lifetime. Also, Happy New Year, and thanks for the snow video. I've spent the last few days on the beach here in the NZ summer.
Well done! Will be interesting to see more of what those new brakes can do!
Wow, you never stop working do you? You are a very unique young lady just don’t miss life. The videos are great, sense of humor is perfect lol, Happy New Year!!!!
Another excellent video, Sarah. And as it's said, it's better to be alone than wish you were.
Your a Garage Pin-up Auto Girl, The color was spot on, Great job. You have a lot of room to Do a Fold down bench. Fold it up when not in use. @ 13:31 min there's a Sway bar link - you mite want to up date that to something a little beefier for handling.
It feels good to get something done and to be able to put the car back on the road to check out your work.
Garage-Hood. I like it. It's unique. My aunt & uncle live in Roosevelt AZ and they got an inch of snow on New Years Day. Hasn't snowed there in 10 years.
Very cool! Yeah it was awesome that it snowed here in Tucson. Brought back memories of my childhood in Idaho. 😀😀😉
Good job! Not a big fan of spacers but they did the job. The rear suspension looks different to the '02 225 I had not that long ago.
Creative paint mixing. Came out nice too.
Brilliant! It was worthwhile calculating the spacers so painstakingly! Neat trick with the plastic bag and zip tie! AWESOME JOB Sarah! Tip for next time: I understand that if you had fixed the brake pedal in the depressed position, you could have waited with bleeding until the calipers were re-mounted, ensuring that no air would enter the system (but I don't know Audi so could be wrong). Change of topic: sometime you'll need to take some R&R, to take care of yourself. You're driving yourself very hard. All the best, Rob in Switzerland.
I'm still stuck on the fact it snowed there. Awesome paint match and great job on the bleeding of the breaks keep up the good work
You may want to invest in a bench part sander. Cabinets can be used for small part up th 15 inches. And a start at about 200 bucks. Then you can clean all your smaller hard wear as well. Knowing your O.C.D.👊
Happy New Year! Colour on the caliper looks like a good match, thought the paint would dry fast in the container. Snowing in the dessert means humanity will go down in flames. Enjoy our cars
Love your channel Sarah . It’s just so good cos you make us all feel like we are all along for the ride fixing up the cars. I’m always looking fwd to the next one 👍🏻
I have NEVER seen or heard of somebody mixing spray can paint...LOL! Well done!!!
Chad Parent #art 😂
I get having to use weird tools to replace disc brake pads. I was always used to collapsing the piston with a c-clamp, but couldn't on my '84 Z28, '85 IROC and my '87 IROC. All 3 had the JL8 4 wheel disc option and to collapse the pistons you needed a special tool to do it. It was about a 1" square junk of steel with a 3/8" drive opening on one side and two little nubs, on opposite corners, across from it. You had to turn and squeeze to get them seated. Luckily it only cost about $4 at Pep Boys. Keep at it kid, it'll all come together.
Awesome job!!! Love your dedication to detail!!!
The color match looked on point on video!
J024 I’m kinda shocked, it looks even better in sunlight. Lol
Sarah, Harbor Freight tools sells a disc brake caliper tool, it’s cheap, and works great on Audi and many other disc brake caliper with internal parking brakes. Makes doing rear brakes quick and easy
Rear calipers look really nice
Great job . I Like your way of figuring things out .
Hi from NH. Where in New England did you grow up?
P.S buy a "disk brake cube". It fits in the notches on rear caliper pistons. You attach it to a 3/8 ratchet extension and spin the piston in while pushing. They are SUPER cheap, worth every penny.
Great job on the color match. Hard to believe that happened from aerosol paint. Great video.
Broke my heart when you said you were alone in the garage for New Years! Lol
The color match was really good!
OMG Sarah.....
You made me tear up when you said you were alone in the garage all NYE & NYD.
I LOVE your videos but I feel so bad now that you made content instead of joining a party somewhere.
Please go out somewhere with your friends and do something fun and social really soon.
Some people dont like partys
Looked like a party to me
I’m loving the colour of the callipers! Never seen that before, and they’ll really pop against the discs (or rotors as you guys over there call um 😜) Fair play to you for cracking on with it through new year - when you dropped the anchors for the first time, must’ve made it all felt worth it!
Awesome channel, I’m learning tons! (...about a car I owned for 9yrs and miss dearly lol)
That’s exactly the bleeder I use on all my Audi’s and VWs. Best bang for the buck out there. 😂
Happy New Year Sarah . from audi TT owner France. Great vids !
Not bad for an Air Force type........Retired Navy here, very informative, surreal type content, like i!!!!!
Pretty snow! Just crappy rain here... where it should be snowing and cold :(
Hope you will read this....i changed brake hoses last year against braided stainless steel hoses and to not having the brake lines drip all over and have the hydraulic unit bleed out just fully press down the brake pedal and fix it in the depressed position. That way you won't lose brake fluid and won't drip this crap all over everything. Helped me loads when replacing these brake hoses. Oh and by the way..... these front brakes are sketchy as hell! Not having a properly centered brake disc is a nono for me.... wouldn't fit this stuff (i'm very big on driving safety) and certainly would want my money back. Wish you a handful of air around the car at all times.
Some late model Nissans I believe Hondas have that rear brake caliper where you have to twist it back in the integrated parking brake, I think you can get at Harbor freight I called the cube.
I liked the Snowy-happy-Sarah part :D
Hey Sarah....love it when a plan comes together!....your attention to detail is inspiring.....I like how you keep everything clean and tidy, sets you up for success...well done and happy New Year!!
The colour match looks good.
Good job Sarah!! Lonely in the garage? Music always helps.
I bled the brakes on my VW Bora (Jetta in the US) at the weekend and looks like I bled them in the wrong order 😂 Had the same weird green brake fluid come out as well. It's worth getting the proper tool to wind in the rear callipers as in 95k miles I've changed the rear discs/pads twice but haven't touched the fronts. I now have calliper envy looking at yours. Keep the videos coming in 2019...!!!
Auto Part stores rent caliper piston retractable tool kits for free. Comes with sizes for all calipers.
Sarah you should've gone visit your folks for the holidays. We would have waited.
I made the same mistake with a pressure bleeder cap on my Mk1 MR2, yeah that sucked cleaning up in a hurry!
That's smart to use the bag. Traps all the fumes in to huff later lol.
Stop being ADORABLE, turn down that super power a bit!😂😂👍🏼👍🏼🌹🌹 PS: That paint match with that crazy Tiffany color you like, you nailed it‼️ I was surprised that you got the colors so perfectly matched‼️👍🏼
great on mixing that blue paint from spray cans..nice..
Happy New Year Sarah! The desert is beautiful with snow on it. Thanks for sharing. The color matching was pretty darn good. I like cars and trucks with brakes.
I'm not sure if you did it already, but a tool box tour would be cool.
Justin Hedlund I need a new tool box, mine is too small.
@@SarahnTuned If you're looking to upgrayedd, see if you can find any Kobalt ones left at Lowes, when they bought Craftsman they dropped the Kobalt pricing a ton, and were making deals to get them out of inventory. One of the guys at my shop picked up a 61" Kobalt 3000 series for a steal a couple months ago, and it's better quality and bigger than similarly MSRP-ed HF and Craftsman ones.
Das clipper-doodle ist gut
Can’t believe you spent New Year’s Eve and day working on this. Talk about dedication! Really hope the public understands the sacrifices you make.
That aside, Happy New Year to both you and lil Sarah!!
The colour match is on point! Vw makes some of the most complicated parts which shouldn’t be.
It snows down there?!?! What is going on???
Can’t wait to see the next vid!
You have brought the TT a long way.
I have a 08 FJ Cruiser I broke my brake line, the system is completely dry. I used 3/16 ID hose at all 4 brakes and ran to the master cylinder bled by myself fixed it with the cost of the hose And replacement parts (no special equipment for me)!
Hmmmm.. One of those power bleeders just got added to my list of 'MUST HAVE'. Looks so easy doing it alone.
3/16 ID clear hose will allow you to bleed the brakes by yourself, especially if you run to the master cylinder (if you didn't know).
Great job sarah turned out great!!
Nice match on the paint.
I see you built a lot of strength in your arms working on those car girl !
Take care of the body too
Fabulous work Sarah. And Happy New Year
Great video ! My Mk4 gti vr6 which is the same chassis as the TT you don't have to twist the caliper to compress the piston but i do see that special tool a lot on ECS. But i need to bleed my brakes this helps a bunch Thanks! :)
need more eurobeat for 2019. nice match on the paint job...actually, you only really need to paint the out half of the caliper as that is the the only part that is visible from outside the car through the wheel. HF has a brake piston kit that allow you to twist & turn or you can rent them from you local auto parts retailers (assuming they are not being rented at that time). when you transition cut scenes, you can move your hand in front of your face and that would a sign for transition when editing...
still can't believe that Ksport couldn't get the rotor hat correct for the TT with customizable 2-piece rotor/hat design. that is the whole point of going 2-piece, one rotor, multiple hats for multiple cars (and sometimes lighter design)
Happy New Year !!!!!!!!!
another happy, funny, detailed video !!!!
can.t wait for the next one !!!"
Awesome video. Definitely jealous of the snow. I love forester gumps rims.
Your videos are an absolute treat to watch 💕💘!! Are you going to do a video of bedding in your new brakes? That would be terrific 🥰
Loving the TT.
I've always wanted to do a TDI swap in one of the first gens with a 150-200hp ALH, or maybe a V6 TDI out of a taureg.
Really like the lesser desired of the A4 platforms, no one expects 200+ horsepower out of a TDI beetle. not that the factory 100HP one i have is really that sluggish...
But i cant decide which A4 i want to build on. I currently have 2 newbeetles. an 06 tdi with the DSG that im scared to touch, and a 2000 gas with the 4 speed auto.
Would love to do an AWD V6 TDI swap into a mk4 jetta... but on the other hand it would be really easy to do an ALH swap in a TT and get pretty much the same result.
I'm loving that double scissors hydraulic jack.
This was a great video, I like your attention to details. And hello from a fellow Arizonian, lol
😵 aaaaaah beautiful snow send some over to here its only raining here 😢😆
Brake Calipers look great! Fantastic job as usual. Sarah, you really need to look out for your own well being. Your viewers can wait for another day. We can always tell when you're exhausted your words are slow to come and your complexion is flushed. You have to take care of your health. It's more important than rushing a video. Great job though!
Per rear calipers: Take a large ~22mm+ socket, cut the notches to match the piston, attach to an drill or impact gun and press in. 👍
Hey Sarah
Sweet job on the brakes, thanks for entertaining us or should that be teaching us new tricks. Loll
All the best to you for 2019 too, hope u gain another 100k subs!!
Cheers from a very wet South African, WE FINALLY GOT RAIN ☔ 😆😆😆
Snow in Tucson! Wish it would snow here in Tempe (it came close - snowed in Scottsdale).
It's all good in the garage hood
I could never work on anything with my hair down when it was long as it always wound up getting dirty or tangled in something.
Oh, & a belated Happy new year.
I think we need to see more of cheerleader Sarah. 😂
In a cheerleader outfit ..lol
@@93hb Or tiny/cute sarah in more videos

Biff Narzilla waiting for 93hb to text in a lower voice
cracking job Sarah happy new year
Oh, most Euro ABS systems need the diag gear plugged in so you can tell the pump to cycle and bleed properly. Landrover Discovery 2's are probably the worst for this.
Great idea with the bag to collect the fluid Sarah! DUH, Why didn't I ever think of that? Awesome job.
Robot snacks 🤦🏽♂️ 😂
another job well done sarah
I think I’m in-love!!! 😍😍😍
Happy New Year Sarah, i know how you feel being alone at this time of year.
Happy New Year Sarah!
glad you enjoyed the snow.
HAPPY NEW YEAR .. I think the color match was damn good .... only you and your OCD would be critical .... by the way, I drive an '09 Mini Cooper S and the rear caliper pistons work the same way .. pain in the ass .. did find an inexpensive compression kit at Harbor Freight, but how many times are you going to need it? ... Looking forward for what you have in store for 2019
I just got hooked recently lol IM SO BEHIND
Brake fluid colostomy bags.... love it.
Starting off with a Blue Razz Bang!! Oh yeah!
