- Had enough of your Audi TT engine bay looking tired and dirty?
It probably at least 15 years old and in need of some cleaning!
Follow my steps included in this video and I will show you how to clean it, how to remove the various items to clean and what i use to clean it.
Thanks in advance for your comments! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Nice work. Its amazing the difference a couple of hrs effort can make to the engine bay with the right products.
Thanks chris. Making an effort in the engine bay is very rewarding. I’m going to do the same with the 3.2 V6 although less space to work! Thanks for commenting 👍
Awesome video. I prefer no plastic to let the engine shine
Thank you greg. Much appreciated! I do like to keep the cars as stock as possible. Hence why I have retained the plastic. However, I totally respect and admire those shiny engine bays with all the bolt on parts!
I just acquired a very rare ABT sports line TT Mk1 in Japan. It's in silver and needs a lot of work. Because there were only 11 ever made its worth the project. Enjoyed seeing you cleaning good advice.
Wow! Are you in UK David? I would be interested to see that 👍
@@andycharger Nope in Japan
Excellent and easy to follow! Great job!
Greetings from Athens ✌️✌️
Thanks Dimitris! 👍
That looks a lot better, I've done my plastic covers but will certainly venture further under the bonnet, thank you for this.
Thank you very much. Definitely dig a bit deeper and clean a bit further. It makes the world of difference!
Good job as usual Andy. Keeps the good work 💪
Thanks Ben! Always appreciate your feedback buddy!
This help a lot! Great job!
Thanks Bernel! Your comment and support is appreciated! Keep watching the channel buddy more more tips!
Nice job Andy
Thanks for your kind words! It was a very labour intensive job due to how bad it was!
nice
I bought my first car ever last month, but I've been driving it for over a decade on Forza Horizon 2, 3, and 4 , I'm so in love with my 2008 audi tt s line black edition , she's a beast on the road
Recently purchased a 2000 Audi Roadster and this is definitely something I will be doing, especially as I need the front bumper off to replace the radiator and fans. (noted you have a video on the bumper removal too which is very thorough). Keep up the great work
Thanks for the kind words Paul! What is your lCD screen like on the dash? Pixelated? This weeks video (coming tomorrow) covers that! Keep your eyes peeled for that one! 😀cheers!
@@andycharger Thankfully the previous owner has completed this fix, but know its a common fault.
Great video, time for me to attack mine. Thanks for taking the time to create👍
Thanks buddy! Will check your channel 👍
Thank you Andy. Makes me feel guilty about mine now. Time for a clean. My rocker cover was leaking, had it replaced but engine is oil stained so needs cleaning.
Never feel guilty! It’s just another job to undertake on our wonderful cars! Did you restore the rocker while it was off the car? Cleaning the engine bay took me a lot longer than I thought but it was well worth it!
No I didn't, but wish I had.
Good video going to do mine soon 😎lovely
Nice one! Let me know how that turns out and how good it looks! Thanks for watching!
Nice one Andy. I used C4 on my grill and scuttle. Not bloody cheap but does an excellent job.
Thanks for the advice Tony. Sounds like something I need to invest in!
£25 a small bottle but does go far.
What is the origiinal black you refer to please , and how long does it last on the road . Great video again
Thanks for your kind words Tony. Original Black is an aerosol product by Carplan sold here in the UK. Other similar products are “Back to Black” and do a similar job 👍
Good transformation! I noticed your bonnet doesn't have any lining, I see that a lot, I wonder if it's only early models like mine that have it? My engine bay isn't too bad on the upper levels - the gearbox and lower engine are coated in oil though as I have a very small leak that gets blasted all over the lower engine bay whenever I go for a drive! Really need to sort that! I use that meguiars stuff too, its fantastic isn't it. If you ever take the lights out you get a great opportunity to clean around that area, it's very difficult to get to otherwise.
Nice one Ben and thanks for your experiences working on yours! There does not seem to be any evidence of a lining ever being present on the bonnet. I did wonder though as there seems to be places to attach something. I do want to take a look at the lower engine bay. I did a bit of work on it when I changed the oil as I think you can get to that easier that way. Any idea where that leak of yours is coming from?
@@andycharger No firm idea yet - I am replacing the turbo intake pipe and the PCV hose form the puck to the intake pipe as that has perished, so when all thats out I'll give it a degrease so I can hopefully get a better idea of where it's leaking from
@@andycharger You can see the lining in mine here, it's like it's under the panelling: instagram.com/p/CQMaFBQnUFD/
I took my TT for a service and the garage didn't give me my engine cover back
Not sure why they took that off or forgot to put that back on for an oil change and filter!
@@andycharger 🤷♀
@@ElijahBradley08 Sorry to hear its missing though. If the garage are denying knowledge, you can pick them up on Ebay fairly cheaply.
