Hi guys today we take a look at a Audi A4 Avant Diesel that I bought from a local car dealer for £900. However the car turns out to have few hidden issues.

Nearly 15k mate! Nice one! I've been here since you had 130 subs! It's mad! Well done
Thanks Ragnor, yes every month a new miles stone seems to be hit. Thanks for watching bud
@@carukchannel I think because you're honest, get straight to the point without unnecessary bollocks, just know what you're doing and are good at it. 😉
@@mastacrx Thanks mastacrx, always try to be down to earth
Another great video and another car saved from the scrap yard. Hats off to the skill and workmanship that goes into these projects.
Thanks 👍 daniel
Lot of car for the money to be fair Lee. Rear bumper is a must. I would be half tempted to leave the wings unless you find some cheap ones as it is an old car. The main thing is the oily bits. Nice that you’ve sold it and good of you to do your staff member a favour. Looking forward to the new content as ever mate. Cheers!
Totally agree, yes he sorting a bumper out for it next week and working on the arms so progress should be made on it, thanks for watching
Just sold my 08 Audi a4 saloon auto.Loved it so im happy your keeping another on the road.Great content as always
Thanks matt 👍👍
Gutted there won't be a follow up vid showing the work needed to get it right.. would have made great content considering it needed quite a few bits doing. do like your videos though. Maybe could include more workshop stuff ? Best regards 👍
Hi martin, sometimes I just flip cars on like this one so not always possible to follow up, I do try and get a bit of workshop fixes in some videos but its very difficult as we are a full time working garage and I am constantly on phones, dealing with customers and mot's in between so don't get the time I would like to do more filming. However I do have changes a foot to get a better balance and push forward the channel and content in the coming months
@@carukchannel thanks for the reply. I understand you have a business to run etc. 😊 u always come across well in the videos, no waffle.
I literally was thinking about the pinch bolt before you mentioned it and had a little chuckle when you did. The amount I see on the Audi forums for these and the b8 where the bolt has snapped when trying to remove. It’s a nightmare.
I own a b8 2.0tdi myself. They go for miles. Lovely when they’re right. Mines currently got 210k thou me doing 140k in last few years. Barely missed in a beat in that mileage.
Looked after and they go forever with minimal problems.
Yes they are a top car, I suspect he will be drilling the bolt out of at least one side ada 🤣
Most Audis are dangerous, but it's more to do with the driver usually🙃
They are lethal barrie 😁
Yeah on the M40 all i ever see is these Audis flying fast me , say im doing 90mph which is over the speed limit they come flying up my backside at possibly 140+ mph and its scary they flash their lights beep the horns , usually Asian drivers on drugs who drive them LOL
@@christineayres7199 If you're doing 90 and staying in the outside lane you're doing it wrong.
@@stuontwo677 I moved over when it came up as it was flashing from a distance
@@christineayres7199 so how did it end up "flying up your backside" if it was flashing from a distance ?
Loved this content, keeping employees happy will pay you back in good will over the coming years, so an unseen profit there as well
New sub here,your videos are a breath of fresh air,so real and no fake and you say it how it is with your vast amount of knowledge ,a real enjoyable watch..Thanks
thanks shaun appreciate it
That's why you're videos work Lee, keep it short, no let's see what's going to happen no bull. Keep it up mate.
Thanks matt 👍👍👍👍
Well, this is a nice surprise. It was only a couple of hours ago I replied to a post of yours that we won’t be seeing anything of you until after the holiday. Family, friends or work colleagues what do you do? The right thing, which you do part and parcel of your work and trade. A profit is a profit tho and the weather on the up by the looks, you were wearing shorts so all good. 👌
Thanks T Wiz, yes I normally brave shorts from about April to October each year 😁
Be good to see the car later on all done up 👍
I will see how far he gets with it NB over the next month or so but sadly he is living me soon for pastures new, 9 years working for me, he been great and a credit to our success building up our garage
Another superb video mate, you are a natural on camera lol. Always handy a estate car.
Ideal for a tip run a estate car 😁
Nice old thing that, I've had half an eye on a B6/7 PD for a while myself. Had a couple of Audis from late 90s, early 00s and the build quality is very good.
Yes cracking build quality and decent motors, they stand up better against any ford or Vauxhall of this era by some margin
another top video Lee,i once bought a audi A4 to try impress a new lady friend i was seeing and she hated it!!! luckily 10 years later she has liked most of my cars except the subaru impreza wrx but loved my 360bhp volvo S60R until a lorry's brakes failed on a hill and wrote it off
Great car , nice and tidy. Only needs a few bits. Have a great Easter Lee. Glad you sold it 💰💰
Thanks nigel 👍👍
Lee that Audi looks a beauty. Although I did think the near side wheel was going to come off in your hands😀. You still managed a profit and helped someone out at the same time. Already looking out for your next video Lee 👍👍👍👍
thanks gary, my latest auction video dropping in the next few days 👍👍
Things like helping staff/family gets well remembered. Yes you might be out 500~1000 but you’ve helped a staff member and got some good content and it’s 240 into another car.
Fair play Lee.
Anthony 👍👍👍
Nice one Lee. What I like about your presentations you're straight to the point no waffle.
I know nothing about cars anymore as they've become too technical and if I get a flat tyre I think my cars a write off.
Cheers mate
tyre is a write off that made me chuckle 😁 but on a serious note I understand where your coming from. For me over the last 17 years I have been the trade its changed radically and will keep moving at fast pace into the unknown with electric and hydrogen vehicles knocking at the door.
Great vid Lee. Really enjoyed the mechanical part - the explantions are helpful. Your knowledge is amazing.
I think it’s fine, keep the staff happy once in a blue moon, good job Lee.
Yes he very happy and has fixed it up now.
Been subbed good while but first video I’m watching my old man an mum have a 2004 avant- dad sadly no longer with us!! But the Alvant still going well despite a few dents
Sorry to hear about your dad J, great to see the Avant still charging on, they are a ideal workhorse, thanks for the sub and for watching 👍👍👍
what a great Video lee fab you have looked after an employee!! happy workers make profits!!!
Thanks Alun 👍👍
Another great video Lee m8...Nice to see u keeping your staff happy and making a small profit on it as well...Looking forward to the next video and seeing you back at the auctions hopefully buying some more cars to restore back to greatness and make some profit to boot...Keep up the great work m8...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
thanks Neil, currently editing the next auction video as I type this so should be landing in the next 48 hours all being well. thanks for watching and always bud 👍👍
Wish all bosses was like you Lee , good man for looking after your guy , deffo his turn to get the curry or beers in this Friday 😂
Worth good money done,audi estate very popular car
Yes they are, but sold to my mechanic so a good deed done I guess, thanks for watching brett
Nice video Lee.£240.00 doesn't sound like much but at least you haven't done any work to it other than identifying several mechanical faults, and body work imperfections. You also looked after one of your employees and colleague,who was craving for a vehicle of this nature.Good deed for the day.
Thanks 👍
Hi Lee. Great video and glad the Audi was sold. Was the broken spring ordered as a pair? Cheers
Yes bud, thanks for watching 👍👍
Great video. I drive a B6 1.9 TDi Avant Sport and it’s brilliant. 20 years old and the fit and finish is still up to modern day standards. Funnily enough my steering pulls to the left, not quite as severe as the one in the video but I’ve just ordered the parts needed.
They hold their money well and the interest is high. 👍🏻
thanks Daniel, yes does sound like you are in need of suspension arms also might be worth getting it tracked 👍
The only way to correctly drive an Audi is to have a toe-in-curve adjusted to spec when doing a wheel alignment after messing with the front end.
Great Video Lee, good mix of info. Hopefully your back to the auctions soon
I am tony, was there on thursday, video will be landing in the next 48 hours when finished editing 👍👍
@@carukchannel great your videos I look forward to now, up there with chops garage!
Nice detailed walk and talk round. Good to see you looking after a member of staff (and making a bit of money). Looks like it will be a nice car for him when the work is done. That suspension looked well dangerous! Dave Birmingham
"Polish the brains out of it..." great phrase!
Cant beat a good polish martin 👍👍
Lee is a good boss. This video answers a question as it looked like one guy was buying fixing and selling the cars on his own.
@@dotherightthingbro I have two guys who work with me bud, one other mot tester and a mechanic 👍👍
Excellent video as ever, Lee. Fair play.
Thanks 👍
I had a 54 plate A4 1.8 T sport Avant which I bought just under 14 months old.with over 79,000 miles.. Faultless other than when radiator got peppered with a stone bumper etc had to come off £200 for that only £10 for the radiator repairing. After 4 years sold it to a workmate who still has it wellover 10 years later.
Thanks for watching jeremy, great to hear your old a4 is still going 👍👍
Great video mate.
Thanks 👍
Always some additional value in looking after friends and family
Thanks scoop, 👍👍
I brought one these over a year ago same issues had it all sorted now I own a loverly reliable car
The key problem I had same when I picked mine up I changed battery’s still no luck I found out you have to put ignition on press the unlock button for ten seconds it reprogrammed to key to car and worked
thanks q will pass the info on 👍
Know you'll make a good car out of that. Looking forward to see the results fella
Aw mate, some la de Darr.
These were good cars . I had a company 3.00tdi SE Quattro for three years . Loved it. Audi dealer told me new owner wrote it off within a few weeks of buying. Such a shame for a super car .
Sounded a decent car 3.0tdi also 👍👍
Just found your great channel yesterday!! I have a 54 plate 1.9tdi quattro avant, 164k and what a fab car, nice to hear such a strong following, yes top bolts made me smile when you mention them as I’ve done a few🤯🤯, what a pig to remove, but hey once they are out happy days and the jobs 90% done👍👍🚗🚗 regards from north of Scotland.
thanks emus 👍👍👍
You're a good boss Lee , if you don't give your mechanic a pay rise for the next decade and he works a free Saturday for a year should up the profit 😁😁
When you do the cambelt you'd also do the water pump right ?
Yes they normally come as cambelt kit witch includes a water pump, occasionally you get some vehicles that the water pump is not driven from the cambelt in which case you may not need to then replace it
Great videos but I would like to see a follow up video of the work being done or completed.
Might not be possible on this one as sadly my mechanic is leaving us after 9 years at the end of the month, he has started repairing it already mind. All other vehicles I feature I normally update if they are in need of major work
Great video Lee great video
, My Mondeo update it didn't arrive in time for Manheim action in Birmingham last Friday, so it will be in next Friday's auction, Mainhiem Birmingham Reg is EO11ARX worth a bid
It was a bit reckless of the original owner driving it to you! As you said, it wasn't fit to drive so he was risking not only his own safety but that of everyone else on the road too. It would have been nice to see the car fixed up and looking good but it wasn't to be. At least you made a little bit of profit on it though.
My mechanic who bought it is working on it this weekend so should be back on the road next week all being well once he got a few jobs sorted on it, oh and some tyres 🤣
£240 for driving it round the block, do that half a dozen times a day and you’ll never want to do the work fixing them up again, great post lee, I’d take a car off you anytime and be satisfied I’d be getting a half decent deal
thanks john nice of you to say 👍
I owned a 2005 SE and a 2006 s line both 2,0tdi the 2006 had the sat nav and 2 tone black and grey volcano leather this was back in 2010/2011 they drove really well and as you said Lee had a bit of kick low down from the turbo, since then I have bought Autos too many bmw/audi/Mercedes /Range Rover to mention as a trader.
Yes they are cracking car, I always preferred the 2.0tdi audi a4 over the C220 and 3 series of this era.
Suffer oil pump fail them engine 😲
The 1.9TD is the better engine. Oil pump failures on the 2.0TD.
Lee, you are a saint. Couldn't have said this about my ex boss.😁
Thanks Pepe, he a good lad to be fair although he can be difficult sometimes 🤣
I wouldn't be getting involved with that front suspension or the paintwork. A quick win is best.
Nice one 👍
you never said if the indicators work and more importantly how good these cars are at mounting pavements because round where i live these cant be parked unless the pavements are blocked and they dont need to be,keep your eye on the guy buying it,dont let him turn into a zorb tooooooooooooo,great informative video mind and once again showing ebay cheaper than the local supplier,so annoying
Had few these, B6 or B7 A4's....... Used to be cracking sellers
good stuff 👍
Thanks 👍
Change shock top mounts mate £20
Even if your mechanic does all the work to it including the timing belt and the paint he's going to have a well sorted car for sub £2k that could last quite a few years, bargain for him but a kick to you in the profits, sure hope he's happy with it.
he has been grinning like a cheshire cat for last week or so, not to bothered about the loss in profit we still made money and did nothing really. Sometimes the first profit can be the best profit
Nice car and well worth the 2.5k to someone and an absolute bargain to your employee 😮
thanks paul
Great to see you being philanthropic 😉😀😂👍 . . . I.M.H.O. : "YOU are A+ Great Guy !"
IF . . . only there were many more philanthropical people like you in the world, & especially in this particular part of the famous South Wales Valleys !
Great plan - look after your staff and they'll look after you.
Cheers OH
Trust me if you want to be in a dangerous car try driving my old Mitsubishi Colt from 2007 , its fast for a 1.1 litre and goes round corners well but i should not be driving it as it has 1 broken spring front passenger side knocking and the rear springs are creaking , also theres a weird acrid burning smell from under the middle of the car ? its been doing that for months im thinking cat converter but i only paid £600 for it 5 years ago , have now finally got the money on my credit card to get the springs replaced 4 springs gonna cost me £450 to replace not cheap but i think it will make a huge difference , as for the Audi that car would be worth a lot when the problems are sorted.
Love your videos Lee.
I appreciate that!👍👍
I hate the fake S-Line badges, it shouts Chavsville and bodgery. Good luck with it mate.
thanks bud, yes reminds me of them turbo badges chavs used to put on the back of corsas
@@carukchannel 😁
They were a decent car I had the VW version. At least you don’t have to sell it now!
True barry, yes the passat was a decent car also but I just thought the audi was a little more classy in the avant. both great cars mind 👍👍
Sure once the arms and spring done, the improvement will be night and day.
Agree, will be a decent driver when that suspension is sorted
You're a good lad Lee 👍
Thanks peter
Yeah i agree as most dealers near London where i live would sell that on to some poor person and if the person had an accident the dealer would change the dealership name and not be heard from again , so good to watch someone on youtube whos a good man and honest
trader
super helpful thank you
Have given up buying cheap cars to do it. people want tomuch for cars that need lots of money spending on it
Lovely car
another good warts-n-all video Lee.
the 8/3/21 MOT failure tells a story on that front suspension.
as Henry Cole often says (when he's not losing money on a tractor deal) "its a case of SPQR - small profit quick return"
thanks cheap guy, sad really to think someone has allowed this to get to that state, anyhow at least it will be sorted now and put back on the road
I’m not a car dealer but I like to buy a car off the auction now and then I’ve bought a Volvo 240 1982 what do you think is the best place to list it?
Mathewsons is nearest to me but there are many classic auctions around the UK who would love to sell that for you am sure 👍👍
Thanks👍
id be nervous giving 900 for that unless i was going to use it myself
Be a nice car when it’s done 😊
Hi lee great vlogs, i had same car 2.0 tdi BLB engine and ppl told me its the worst one, how wrong they were, had the cambelt snap at 60 mph on me and a mate recovered it put a new timing belt kit on it and f**k me it fired straight up didnt cause any damage at all safe engine if it is the 2.0 BLB tdi, keep up the great vids enjoy them loads.
Thats was lucky broads 👍👍
Hi lee could you tell me company that supply wings painted in colour also even family or workmates deserve to take at least a 400 or 500 wage out it
Hi taxi, type in on ebay (audi a4 painted wings) and you will find a number of companies selling painted wings, you can message them your paint code and they will sort for you if you cant find your colour
Get your oxyacetylene ready for those pinch bolts. As you say, they’re a pain 😅
Its my mechanics problem now, he has bought it but your spot on with them bolts marcus 🤣
Anybody noticed more and more horrendous driving and people jumping reds lights long after they've changed.
Hi mate do you sell any cars though your you tube channel thanks
Hi glyn, to be honest I sell most of mine via word of mouth / customers coming to the garage asking. I seem to have built up a reputation and small customer base over the years. We normally get one ready fix up sell and move onto another. Saying that I have got a few cars stored up near ready to sell currently as something bigger is going on which I will go into in a video next month. Thanks for watching glyn and enjoy the bank holidays
👍❤️
👍👊
Original Dual Mass or has that been replaced?
cant tell without removing the box however i would guess replaced as 140k on same clutch snd flywheel is unlikely for how sharp the clutch feels
👍 great
👌👌
👊
1st
Those cheap Chinese suspension arms won’t last 6 months, probably even less but I guess when your selling low end cars it’s all about getting them out the door as cheap as you can.
A little bit of unfair assessment, I have a few vehicles that come back to me for MOT with parts from online non OE and years later going fine with no issues, occasionally you get some bad quality parts but I have had some crap genuine parts and bosh parts lately from my local dealers so its not always the case that buying premium is the only way, I try to weigh up cost and quality where possible on the cars I am selling as you rightly put. thanks for watching Umar 👍👍
What a desent chap you are
Yeah he reminds me of how British used to be back in the 80s and 90s when i was a kid people were much more civilised and respectful sadly nowadays a lot of car dealers ive met in my time think they are from The Hood in GTA and its off putting especially when they call their car Dealership EZ Motorz all spelt wrong LOL
2.0 tdi is good engines 1.9 better but simple 8 valve reliable motor. Could never figure why they rust on wings poor construction?😮
Not sure on the audi's but the golfs and boras of this age had sponges in the wings to soak up moisture and supposed to drain away, ironically they got full of crap and mould and just collected the water and rotted the wings inside out
The dealer you bought it from saw you coming, bet he gave £150 part exchange.
But yet a profit was made, it does not matter what the last man paid for it
Don't tell me, you bought a car that's not Ugly!!!!!
