Brilliant video 👍and no annoying music 🤬apart from anything else nearly all the car youtubers are using the same fu**ing tunes. So thanks for that 👍keep up the good work .
Great video, a bit of advice for next time. When you are doing a gearbox service it's always best to undo the fill plug so you dont end up with a car you cant drive if it strips
Good to see someone who really knows what they’re doing, rather than the DIYer doing it for the first time. I enjoy watching you work! Great channel, keep up the good work.
I am a car dealer,my wife has one of these v6 3.0 tdi s-lines...its fully loaded 2011/11 in white and done 135k i have never spent a penny on it other than service tyres and brakes...what a good fast car these are,and someone will get a bargain with this one! Great informative video
Yes start with the oil and a hot engine with a good flush so it drains out nice 👍 you say your stolen Audi but 38K miles you did steal it! I must have missed you mention that as I thought it had done 100k miles. Lucky guy and lucky car for having a caring owner to do it justice. Bravo on a bargain motor.
@@paulthompson5416 The more cleaner that engine is kept the sweeter it will run, also mileage means nothing...if a car has only done 5,000 but the oil has been in the engine for 10 yrs it won't be no good!
Fantastic video exactly what I’ve been hoping for but felt cheeky to ask if you could do some more in-depth a lot of TH-camrs skip the instruction I’d like you to do an in-depth on a pre mot if possible please
Thanks for another enjoyable & informative video. Without a ramp & appropriate computer software the ordinary owner of modern cars is prohibited from doing even a basic oil change these days.
Very interesting to watch! I’m an apprentice working for Skoda so I guess still VW group. Was nice to see your way of doing things, and also I think it’s good that you used genuine parts. I’ve still got a lot to learn but in my experience the genuine parts are generally better fitment and quality. And man Dosen’t gearbox oil just stink.. Good job!
Love this style of video also dean 👍🏼 great little tips like the coolant sitting in the V and only half dropping the rear undertray for the fuel filter is brilliant 👏🏼 Also didn’t know about the 3l not having a dipstick unless you have a “specialist” tool for checking it and as you very well pointed out that it only shows level when warm 🤔 wouldn’t take you to have left the sump plug finger tight 🤣🤣 Keep up the good work bud Thanks 😊
I love a freshly serviced and loved vehicle.That is a really nice car.Gearboxes are always a pain to fill up.(I grew up with Morris Minors and Triumph Heralds in the 60's).
Nice to see decent content, from some British TH-camrs. Hope your channel keeps growing buddy. Not long since found it, but thoroughly enjoying your channel. Keep it up mate.👍
Enjoyed the different video Dean. You’ve certainly torqued the oil filter many times. I heard your elbow click at 35 Newton’s! Looking forward to next one. Finding myself looking for 5 door polo interiors at the minute to point your way !!
I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the pollen filter to be changed. In tears now 😭 Great video dude! The Q5 looks ace and it looks like you got a bargain 👍
I enjoyed watching a full service it shows u what to expect and u will then know if u feel capable of doing.good this job yourself or not Phil in stoke
I have got the laser adjustable dipstick for my a4 b8.5 but not sure if the same can be used for the q5 but could be possible if you have the correct adjustment. Very handy tool and its about £17 on amazon.
Informative again, nice one. How long did it take? My last service the dealer totally balls'd up. Over filled engine oil by over half a litre, no coolant top up, ticked boxes as green and said they had done checks but didn't actually do things such as greasing hinges. Said they changed brake fluid and left that overfilled as well. Can't wait till car out of warranty and I can get local garage to do annual service by a "real" mechanic like you. Oh and they disconnected dash cam on test drive of my hot hatch.
I notice that the air filter you replaced looks like a 'stock' one, but the one you took out looked different. It looked like one of those after market ones where you can remove the filter material, vaccumm it and put it back in, almost like-new.
Love videos like this really helps us guys who enjoy working on there own car , I spent over 4 hours looking for the air filter on my e39 530d msport , the cabin ones where easy top left and right but the engine one was a nightmare it's a big long stupid thing that runs along the side of the block the filter is around 2ft long !!!
I came across your site by accident but really enjoy your content. Considering this isnt your full time job its awesome keep up the interesting video’s. Hope your gran was happy with her car. I saw on one of the RS vids that you couldnt remember what you had/hadnt done. Have you thought about a whiteboard on the wall to keep a record of where you are with each car?
Fantastic service very impressed I would have no hesitation in bringing my vehicle to you for service and or repair I don’t trust main dealers prefer to go to an independent person like your good self keep up the good hard work and stay safe 😷Mark from Billericay 👍🚗
Does it matter if it’s sat at 7am 😜 great vid love the detail, especially the call to Audi to check the o ring, shows you do a good job as if in doubt check out, q7 next please ✌️👍
I've recently bought a sline q5 2.0tdi. Would a reputable garage know how to do this as you did? You seem to know the vehicle very well or is this standard with your average mechanic? Cheers
Hiya, good video, im about to change my fuel filter, but i have read you are meant to run a fuel pump prime with VCDS before starting the car after a fuel filter change, as you can damage the high pressure fuel pump. Did you do this or did you just chance it? cheers
I got an Audi A3 2016. Oil filter pain in the butt to change. They stuck underneath the engine tucked out the way. Don't know why they couldn't of left it on top of the engine like this one.
Yes those ones are crap! There is a drain on those filters which let you drain the oil out before you remove it so it doesn’t make a mess. Still horrible though
@@SavingSalvage yeah correct. So easy in top though. Especially difficult without a ramp. I'm an Audi fan. My daughter's have Audi A1 s. Coz I do smart repairs, they are always bringing them to me with damaged wheels or dents. Gotta luv em.
Was there a reason you did the oil change in a cold engine? Normally it would be warm so the oil flows better with any contamination suspended in it as it drains out? Apart from that a really good watch and informative.
No, if it’s cold it works. The only other thing you could do is plug VCDS in and check the pressure in the system. That would give you a slight indication but wouldn’t take is as gospel.
Hi I have a question about your transporter do you need a 7.5t licence to drive it or do you just need the 3.5t licence to drive it with cars on the back thanks
Hey man, I have a question. I was cleaning my Audi while listening to the radio and the car battery died. I had someone give me a jump and now my Audi Concert stereo is in safe mode and I have no code. Do you know how else I could get a code without having to go to a dealer which of course are shut!? I see there are websites that claim my can get the code but for some reason, I don't trust them haha.
Should be stamped on the inside of the radio booklet. Failing that Audi, failing that you can get codes from online you will just need your radio serial number handy
Paid 50 k for mine new and had issue after issue with it since day 1 they can keep their junk! ! never once had any issues with mercedes or toyota i have one identical color only starts with a jump switch cause ecm wont recognize the key in it replaced both fuel pumps tensioners every sensor and switch imaginable. The second you put your foot on the brake it dies

That was really nice man. No repetitive music, we can hear you clearly and we now all know how to service a q5. Brilliant, keep up the great work.

An engine flush with 38,000 is a bit excessive is it not 🤷🏼♂️ it’s not even broke in yet

The more detailed version is way better then glossing over. Love it!
Nice instructive video with no annoying MUSIC.

Another great video, do you have a TPS account for all your VW/Audi bits?
Fair play you don’t know how much of a big help showing to service a vehicle helps & great content on the channel .
Really enjoying watching your videos , this one was better due to it showing the spannering , more content of the jobs is the way forward .
Nice to see decent content, from some British TH-camrs. Hope your channel keeps growing buddy.
Not long since found it, but thoroughly enjoying your channel.
Keep it up mate.👍

I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the pollen filter to be changed. In tears now 😭

Great content family. Straight forward and directly state. Help me fine tune the project I am doing.
Watching your channel since the start. Nice job man. Keep it up.
I appreciate it!
You should do the haldex filter too as they get blocked quite easy

Enjoyed the extra detail 👍👍
Glad you liked it!

you can use the dipstick from a 3.0 tdi touareg/q7 first gen ...it works great
Love the in depth videos - if you have the time to do them now and then, why not!
Great video 👍 I prefer a in depth video like this 💪 keep them coming😃
Really enjoyed the in depth video would like to se more please. Keep up the good work
Loving the channel mate, keep on bringing great cars back to life
Thanks :)
Great channel, do you not have to bleed the fuel lines when changing fuel filter? Also, when do you change fluids in diffs and gearbox?
Good content, you obviously know your way around VAG motors👍👍👍
Serviced a few in my day 😂
Seeing the service might not suit everybody but I for one really enjoyed it, thanks
Thanks :)
@@SavingSalvage Me too! appreciate the extra hands on details (like Edd China) so please show us more of the work progress in future videos.
Your videos are well informative! Great watch and we'll explained! Thanks 😁
Subscribed !! , would love a video giving some tips on buying salvage cars 🙏🏼
That’s coming! 👍🏽👍🏽
Oh no!!! I suppose you had to go get the O ring from Audi in an RS3?? 😂😂 Great vid as per, good to watch.
First class job on that service 👍
I’m so glad my Q7 has fuel filter sitting right next to power steering oil reservoir. It makes filter replacement so much easier than this Q5.
Great Video, How often do you change the glow plugs?
Fantastic service very impressed I would have no hesitation in bringing my vehicle to you for service and or repair I don’t trust main dealers prefer to go to an independent person like your good self keep up the good hard work and stay safe 😷Mark from Billericay 👍🚗
Thankyou Mark!
You can actually buy a dipstick for the oil extractor tube.
Yeah you can, was just making a point that it’s not standard. Not sure why as it’s only couple of quid to fit.
@@SavingSalvage yep I bought one as well. The Electronic system is kind of annoying with oil changes. Dip stick was about € 4.
Great video with very thorough work!!
Loving the in-depth stuff. Subbed👍
Enjoyed watching. Very indepth video.
love the videos, but where exactly did you put that O ring on the air box?
Does it matter if it’s sat at 7am 😜 great vid love the detail, especially the call to Audi to check the o ring, shows you do a good job as if in doubt check out, q7 next please ✌️👍
Brilliant work thanks for the content
And, if you were an Audi franchise, all that is left to do is to hand the customer a £600 bill. Nice work mate.
Yep, an Audi dealer would have charged £600 for that!
Hi great job, but what is the cost of the service comparing to have done at the Audi dealer. Thks
Well the parts there were £80 for the DSG oil and filter and the service parts were £95. Audi would have charged around £600 for what I’ve done there.
Great video really loved it, informative and precise👌👌👌
I've recently bought a sline q5 2.0tdi. Would a reputable garage know how to do this as you did? You seem to know the vehicle very well or is this standard with your average mechanic?
Cheers
Try traynor's in the North of Ireland for the interior mate There one of the biggest over here mate and they ship worldwide

Just cycle the ignition 3-4 time’s first. Does the same thing 👍🏽

Thanks for the videos, very informative and clearly described
Really interesting and very good as always

Wow brilliantly explained video keep them going.
Was there a reason you did the oil change in a cold engine? Normally it would be warm so the oil flows better with any contamination suspended in it as it drains out? Apart from that a really good watch and informative.
I let the engine run for about 10 mins before I drained it. Wasn’t hot, but the oil was warm.
That makes sense then 👍👍
Good content buddy is there a way of checking the air con level?
No, if it’s cold it works. The only other thing you could do is plug VCDS in and check the pressure in the system. That would give you a slight indication but wouldn’t take is as gospel.
Awesome Video, thanks a lot ...
Q5 and polo GTi I dont think I could have let them go fantastic looking cars
Hi I have a question about your transporter do you need a 7.5t licence to drive it or do you just need the 3.5t licence to drive it with cars on the back thanks
It’s just a 3.5T van so only need a car licence. And then a B+E licence to tow a trailer on the back. 👍🏽
Have you got the log book already? For your number plates buddy
Luckily the V5 came with the car 👍🏽👍🏽
@@SavingSalvage lucky bugger I've been waiting since February lol
I’m still waiting for the log book for the polo and mustang though. Been waiting since March for them
How about the pollenfilter?
Sims 3 on the desktop #respect 👍🏻
Hah sims 4 😆
Should do a service video of every car, Guaranteed views and future subs of people looking to find out how to do a service on each model.
Always entertaining and informative!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great job very helpful
Great Video, more informative please, more Audis please !!, brilliant, well done
Great video very informative 👍

Enjoyed this. Please do more of the same😀
Will do!
Brilliant video 👍
I have a question if may? Do you stamp the service book?
Can you link to where you buy parts for your Q5?
Will you be selling this Q5 project when complete?
Someone going to get a bargain there all genuine audi parts aswell
Absolutely lovely car
What about the screenwash fluid?! ;)
I had to order some more, ran out 😂
Good video that some good tips.
Great video

The new diesel engines are really quiet, don't think the apology was needed at all :) i do love the 3.0 TDI
Would have been nice to know how much all the service items cost.
