Now you’re getting the big TH-cam monies please buy a pocket torch 🔦 😂😂
He won’t use mine 😢
Snapon should give him one the amount of their kit he has
Snap on ones are well behind the times,coast lights are yesterday,someone get him an olight baton 4 or even a baton 3
@stephensansom1492 I know, he's got a lot of gear hasn't he.
Philips inspection lamps. Thank me later.
As a mechanic of 20+ years it’s great to watch a channel without all the glitz, glam and suspense and is a straight up normal banter full laugh that a true workshop can be, we done to you all and keep up the great work 😂
Great video guys and great content in the channel. I discovered you recently and I love the good vibes between all the team and all the technical content and explanations, great to learn from them. I´m an amateur mechanic from Spain and I´m really looking forward to the next episodes of this R8. Keep going mates!
Very intuitive video. I really want an R8 one day.
And I think Matt is a great asset to your company, very good mechanic.
Casual murcielago and testarossa in the background 😮
You should mention that the price of CARLY is for one year, which they try to hide and then auto renew after the year.
I really enjoy this channel. Been struggling alot lately so it’s nice to cheer up abit by watching the videos and banter. Thank you
Glad it is working for you mate.
Love these video, starting looking for new videos at the same time as I’m looking for a new one from Matt Armstrong. That’s how good these are. Keep it up guys. Looking forward to seeing how the R8 turns out 👍🏻
Pretty sure I entered the comp to win this on Level Up Giveaways, with all the news on the BBC about them I'm not surprised its been repo'd.
I had a girl friend called Carly years ago and it cost me a lot of money back then, plus I had a fault everyday according to Carly too 😂
I bet she didn’t charge you a yearly subscription like this Carly does
@ she didn’t last a year so I never found out
Pmsl🤣
I hope you traded her in for a new model 🍻
At least you got to plug into her
One way to Level Up the channel content...
Perfect comment
😂😂😂
YES!!!
My bank account got scammed after trying to level up and win a car
haha exactly what/who i thought. I'm owed £ from them
Congratulations, excited to see this series!
That engine bay looks rougher than some of Mitch's Tinder matches 😳
Can't wait to see you transform it into another REPerformance high end motor 👌🏼
Keep up the great work all 👍🏼
Dirty oil brings up faults, my gearbox on my Q3 was disastrous two days after I brought it from Audi second hand even though they said they gave it a full service, changed gearbox oil, runs like a dream, nearly gave it back to them, under the thirty days rule, don’t know if I can ever trust what Audi says, but since been in for another service and still runs like a dream
I’m convinced on the Carly!
Been running VCDS for years (superb mark 2 and 3) but the next car will need a new VCDS lead and the price is way more than the Carly!
If I don’t will one I will need to buy one!
Good luck with the R8 will be interesting to see what it costs to get is sorted!
Keep up the great content.
i bought carly for my beemer. love it. great tool & easy to use
You should read the recent Carly reviews online, taking cash from people’s accounts after a year for ‘subscription fees’ no thanks
Carly are scammers and the software is not as good as brand specific apps.
Have you checked out OBD11?
The OBDeleven is much better for VAG cars diagnose and coding.
Love to see this a 1000 bhp project car. With before and after power driving experiences. Keep up the great work guys 🏆
Matt is definitely the better mechanic I can tell he's running the show💪🏻
You don’t want a Carly do you 🤔 😂😂
@BeeOX3 I do🤣🤣
@@andymonaghan92 we could all do with a Carly 👍🏼😂
Ordered my Carly last night i got my 15% off thanks to your channel.
"the OBD function is not included in the annual license"
where do you find the time to do new projects. So many folks on TH-cam reaching out of your help. I could use your help but being across the pond in Canada Im outa luck!! Your knowledge with engines is just amazing!!
Our project will live again !!
British Engineers 💪🇬🇧
Thanks for giving me energy to get up and work on my client's cars everyday. You're are now part of my mental health therapist 😂😂
Brill video and great going through the car! Look forward to the repairs :)
Keep up the great work guys, your time and content is much appreciated!
I Carly.....my carly needs one of those ....please
Amidst the gathering of men, all eyes and hopes seem to rest on a curious little gadget named Carly. Like a techy damsel in charge, Carly holds the power, the key to their needs. The scene has a humorous charm-grown men orbiting around this tiny device, their reliance both amusing and endearing. Carly, the unsung hero of the moment, commands their attention as if she’s the queen of connectivity. It’s almost as if they’re whispering, “Please, Carly, don’t let us down!” A touch of irony lingers, as this digital saviour rules the crowd with understated authority.
Carly only works well for later model years. Bought it for my 2003 Audi TT to discover absolutely no diagnostic capabilities or unlocking of features. Can't even find a basic P0171 code that my friend's basic diagnostic scanner found. Complaints to Carly were a waste of time.
Carly does sod all on my 2014 RS4 Avant in terms of "coding" and that is afferr they took the full price package payment! Ask them what their software allows and you get a generic response that they cannot give any indications of what can be done! They also hide the auto renewal charge pretty well!
I know it's stupid but if i can afford a R8 one day id drive it stock for as long as possible, but inevitably id probably want to twin turbo it. Every one ive seen and heard are all just crazy and i love it.
looking forward to seeing this running round a track hopefully with an REP wrap.
Lovely to see a good lad doing well, absolutely switched on , superb well done, 🤠
Matt? Good Lad.
@ 😝😝
This looks like the 1 from level up giveaways
It is level up has gone bust not giving prizes etc and not paying bills so things get taken back by the lenders
Great Video, I really enjoy your channel, hopefully you will make a series out of this, as you and the team have the perfect blend of make fixing and restoring cars very entertaining while at the same time demonstrating superior knowledge and skills, I would really like to see this R8 and the yellow gallardo get rickyfied!!
Looks like you boys have got a bit of a bask8 case to sort out looking forward to see where it takes you to and what else is hidden
Best day of week re posts.
another 4k subbies in the last week..well done.
There once was a tool named Carly
That couldn’t decode a Harley
But was perfect to use on an Audi
Particularly REP’s Gen 2 dowdy
If you don’t get one you’re a right Charlie!
These sort of vids are great. More please !
52 faults! Don't worry boys, just do one a week and you'll have it sorted in a year. Keep up the good work!
Tut tut, level up goes further down in everyones estimations
Great video, good challenge for the team looking forward to watching, going to Combe as well - bonus!
26:22
I thought Ricky was gonna say Vorsprung durch Technik when they were on about languages, I thought he spoke fluent Audi !!
The highest calling of leadership is to unlock the potential of Carly with Audi R8
How can a nice car be treated like this, it's such a shame, but its now in the right place 😊, looking forward to following this.
As they say.. catefull what you wish for cos I'm pretty sure you said you'd want this gen as a project build in a prevouis upload. 😅 Lovin the content.
After you have had some fun in it, get Dean from Saving Salvage or Mat Armstrong to raffle it for you! The competition page that had it, put out a poor me video a few weeks ago, trying to make out it wasn't his fault that he ripped everyone off, and crashing an R8 was part of the problem why he wasn't paying out!
This would be a lovely buy after you’ve sorted it. Keep us all updated!!
Love the channel and the new purchase. My dream car ❤❤❤. Cant wait for the next instalment. When will i get my Carly please?
someone watched callum macintyre s breakdown of mat armstrong s marketing skills - imbed the ad in a longer tranche of the video so you can t fast forward it and get better engagement ratings.
it works ;-)
Matt I think you have the coolest hairstyle at re performance
It’s the cross wind ski slope ⛷️style helping his brain thoughts slide out off he head side ways .
Fuckin brick innit. 🏆
Either the guy that ripped all the parts out will contact you within a week, or you need to find him and offer him a few quick for all he's ripped out, providing it's still in working condition. You may want to wait that week to decide to build it back to stock or not.
He has a youtube and hes veen outed for being a scammer those parts are gone
The Ode of the code
Mat rates Ricky's R8
52 makes us blue
No cats is a twat
Haldex is a vex
No turbos
A punch on the nose
This car is like Rick
Not all there and takes the mick
Get REP in the mix
Nothing a good wrenching won't fix❤
R8 still my dream car. I hope to own one before I'm 60 so I have 5 years to save up. My guess on the faults was 54 Topraks race #😅
Ricky’s needs a new inspection light as opposed to his iPhone! 😂
I’m after the giveaway
Cześć Ricky, nie będziesz mógł przeczytać moich komentarzy
poniżej, ale masz faceta, który rzekomo mówi dwoma językami
dobra robota dla wszystkich twoich mechów, uwielbiam sposób, w jaki jesteś filmowany
i twoją wiedzę na temat budowy silników
kontynuuj, do dzieła 👍🏾
Cheers malik
Looking forward to the journey. Just hope it isnt a bumpy ride.
Great post purchase diagnostic, 🤕
Matt.......jagshemash....it's niiiiiice 😀
Just stumbled on your channel and what do you know. You're working on my dream car.
Know your business but I bet the rebuilding will smart, hopefully find a new owner who appreciates the work of a perfectionist
Not commenting this to win the Carly … but that would be cool … 👀 but guys this channel is about to become huge ! Top stuff !
Great vid lads looking forward to seeing the r8 back to stock,with the Carly can you clear codes?
Looking forward to the future vlogs on this machine , enjoyed 👌
Matt guessing 52 faults is awesome ... I hope you capitalised at the casino ....looking forward to this series .
Why are you doing the Mat Armstrong expression at the start of your video 😂
In level up reveal video of the car
14:48 can see the yellow rear left shocks etc and other identifying marks.
Ricky is the right guy for this car this going be a good build
Keep up the good work REPERFORMANCE
I have a standard gen 2 exhaust going mega cheap if you want it, from my own car removed at 20k miles
With the multilingual Mat 'Armstronger' on the team he'll have it 'minty' and ready for me to win in the R8 raffle in no time at all 😂
The R8 is in the right place you bunch of Carly's will get it sorted well done lads good video hope I win the obd reader
Matt not only guessed the correct amount of faults on the R8, and the mileage was at 52K. A win win for him.
Nice motor gents hope its a quick turnaround for you, carly or launch though?
Love this channel, keep um coming
I can write a really clever comment for a carley code reader
“Go on then”
“NO!, don’t peer pressure me like that” ;)
Matt, get down to that casino asap! Put £52 on Red No:8! With your winnings take the boys to the pub for a pint!!
I’m one of the (un)lucky people waiting for £10k that will never arrive from the defunct competition company… one of those Carly’s would really LevelUp my day 😉🫡
Excellent a build series without all the stupid click bait bollox.
Great video can't wait for next one
52 twice! faults and thousand miles on clock! Good vid and scary proposition to sort that car and break even on it. 😬
What are the winning lottery numbers this week Matt!!!
Can’t wait to see how the R8 progresses
Giving Matt Armstrong a run for his money, at least this car isn't crash damaged!
I hit the nail on the head straight away 😂
The problem with these comp cars is the same as the lambo Ricky had people win them and can’t afford to run them !!
Good luck with the build guys. 🙂
Excellent vid lads 👍
Matts doppelganger is Jack O'Halloran in superman 2 👍
Yes Ricky love this kinda thing 👍👏👏
I think Ricky will be asking matt Armstrong for advice on this one !😂
Matt if I win the Carly I’ll come down to REPerformance and make you cups of tea all day
Any recommendations for dealers to buy from - cannot see if you sell.
Love your content but!!! The R8 videos just put me off ever wanting to own one (if I wasn’t broke) 😂 because they seem like an absolute nightmare
realy informative stuff
Matt is the best
"Doing a thing in a lorry yard 🚚..."sounds like a concerned citizen notifying the proper authorities. 😅
Looking forward to this Ricky...
"I hope not" Famous last words 🤣
Anyone else want to hear Rick say "inconceivable!"?? (Princess Bride reference). Dude looks just like Vicini
Closest to guess the purchase price should win the Carley. I guess finance company let it go for £52k. Daytona with the gloss black wheels is a classy combo anyway.
I wanted to know as well, especially with the title saying cheapest R8.
Love the colour . You can sort this blind folded
Ahhh level up scammers, strike again 😂 from not paying winners, to cars being repossessed 😑 damn...
How does Carly compare to OBD11?
not a huge amount of work for a nice r8 really.
most of it just needs bolting back on and second hand parts are acceptable on a car with 50k on the clock.
I’ve got a stock exhaust or a capristo for sale for that gen 2.
My capristo is now too loud for my local track by 20db above the 100db limit.
My top faults count was a bentley gt on a 04 plate after a flat battery at 130 faults,i wonder what the actual highest fault count is,i bet its on a vag for sure
V10 WTF reg 🤣 my mates old one before it was twin turbo’d 🤣
For quickness why would you choose Icarly over OBDeleven ???
