In today's video we unveil my new cheap car project. My new Audi A3 2.0 TFSI. But there's a mechanical issue we need to sort! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I would definitely keep it standard and I do like these more affordable cars on your channel especially with mechanical problems.
Agree completely
Agree more budget friendly round about cars
keep standard & 100% Turbo :) - plus ........ Im a tad concerned about the poor little LadyBug that was on the back wheel :(
It's a harlequin ladybird... invasive species that practically wiped out all the regular ladybirds I knew and loved as a kid. They're absolutely everywhere in the UK.
Interesting project. I would say, put it back to standard, tidy up interior and sell. Look forward to whatever you decide to do.
That’s boring , bigger turbo would be cool to see done and test drive
Even though I’d love to see you do a conversation on it with more power I think keeping it standard would be the right thing to do on this particular car. A straight Audi will always sell well, modifying it will reduce your selling market especially during these times when a lot of people are watching the pennies. Either way it will be good content Dean. 👍🏽😎
Agreed, there are enough videos of k04 conversions. As you said nice to see what looks like a well looked after car that's just worn out and you it seems are the man to give it a refresh!
Think you should keep it as standard and replace whats needed to get get it back on the road.
A 13 y-o highly modded car has a limited market wheras the A3 Quatro is probably a future classic and should sell easily so while it aint my call I'd stick to stock!
Agree, keep it standard.
Mike England Agreed: Standard. Turbo, tidy the interior up, road test, replace broken rear diff, road test, replace that also broken rear diff, swear, and then finish off the RS4. 👍

I agree, thats why i bought a 3.2 v6 quattro, manual 3dr, totally original.
Here's hoping!
Full K04 conversion for sale in Peterborough. Feel free to get in contact if you decide to go down that route.
Rebuild and keep it standard, would like you to keep to a budget so maybe some hope for us guys out there.
Awesome video! I can’t wait to see the next episode... I would just get it back to standard, but make it as nice as you can. Sort out the cosmetic bits with interior too!! 🙌🏼
Smashing out another vid with Squarespace sponsorship! Well done mate, this YT channel is going somewhere!
Rebuilt it standard.
Pagid discs and pads.
And a new door card.
@@Chris-hw4mq Pagid are factory fit for Porsche. They're the best, up there with Ferodo.
"cheaping out" would be fitting brands like Eicher, DriveTEC, ECB, Ridex, etc.
ate/zimmerman discs with zinc coat and ate ceramic pads
@@ventouxR yes, they're very good brands too. For commuting and normal driving ordinary brake pads are good. Ceramic pads can sequel or make more noise. The reason ceramic is good is because after lots of heavy braking they take much longer to overheat, for example if you visit the Nürburgring ceramic pads would be nicer.
Keep it standard and you could probably make more profit
The only problem I see with the bigger turbo route - if the car has been "ragged" you will putting extra pressure on a "tired" engine - Keep it standard and like the Skoda do it up!!! Good video - Best wishes Clay
Look forward to seeing what you do to it excellent work and thanks for the content stay safe and take care
Great to see the mechanical video as its really interesting to watch
Keep it standard! Love the mechanical videos, you explain things well.
Great video dean. Definitely go down the mod and upgrade route, if it fit in budget, as it is an old car. But definitely needs a tidy up.
my exact spec of car, same mileage everything hahahaha... its so nice too see someone know what they are talking about. i need someone like you too go through it and tell me what it needs. been to a couple inderpendent mechanics but ended up doing more damage than good. really hoping my Quattro system is working properly because right now im really unsure hahahah. anyways bud been a long time viewer and love the content, keep up the good work. much love 🤟🤟🤟
Lovely vag project to get your teeth into. So so much potential. Very best of luck with the project! I’ve done lots of vags but I’ve started my channel with an RX8! I’ve subscribed and will follow closely 😊🚗🚗
Keep it standard, as the market to sell-on will be broader and you might achieve your estimated selling price, once the interior is tidied up too.
Looking forward to this, I like the mechanical videos 😎
I just got a 2009 A3 2.0TFSI Quattro in NZ. Its an amazing car and im lucky that it had a great owner before me and they have looked after it. I would love to see you repair and make the car look new but some cheap mods as well
Really weird hearing the Square space advert as been hearing it from Matt Armstrong for months now. Love the A3 8P platform, the best IMO. I have both an 8P and 8V Sline. Prefer the tech in the 8V but the look of the 8P. Looking forward to the content!
i would like see you get it running again and just see cost of replace turbo etc and how to do it, great content and your just so honest with everything and just say as you see, can't szit for next part 2
Another great video with some mechanic bits thrown in. I’m all for entertainment but it’s great learning when watching a professional fix a car related issue. £700 smackers seems a bargain if it’s just the turbo? In terms of mods, I guess it depends on whether your keeping it or using it for content in the channel. I would go balls to the wall on some sick mods.
good choice of project i like the mechanical work you do
Yes for the k04!
Hyped for the mechanical content bro 👍
I’ve got one of these but the front wheel drive and I’ve just been doing bits to keep running as well as it can. Personally, keep it standard, but do a really nice job on it, sort the interior bits, all new serviceable items incl. cam follower etc. Looking forward to this series, may even learn a few bits about mine
The modification route would be great if the figures work out for you. Thanks again for these vidoes as they are very interesting 👍
Great , would like to see it restored back to original. Still life in this old Audi and would make it a good bargain car for someone 👌
I enjoy your mechanical videos. I hope this Audi is not as much of a headache for you as the V8. I woould keep it standard and I look forward to seeing how you get on. (Also really hoping that you are able to restore the V8 Audi).
Great job please keep up the great work I’m a fan of your vlogs
I always liked those little A3’s, I personally have a 2003 Audi A6 Avant 3.0L V6. Love to find someone that can also appreciate Audi’s
This is exactly what I want from a car channel, I’m late to the game of mechanical interest.
Lots of comments advising restoring it to stock with your financial interests at heart and I think I agree.
TFSI is direct injection? If so, how choked up would you expect the valves to be?
Nice project, good luck.
Glad to see another 8P in the workshop. Excited to see the mechanical side of this car.
This video is immaculate timing for me as I just bought almost the exacts same car except not Quattro and no arm rest😂. Will be following this one for sure!
Definitely think you should mod it after you’ve got it going
I am already enjoying this project
I just bought a 2.0TFSI a month ago, exact same color and inside but not Quattro and with DSG, what i can tell is, this one isnt sline, its just aftermarket badges :) those engine are strong but they may sound dieselish a bit sometimes :) Enjoy, with a remap its a sleeper monster , and btw the crack on the armrest from the door is on 100% of them, mine too!
Great cars ans really enjoyable to work on keep standered for sure u can't go wrong with a sorted a3
I’d keep it standard as with the age/mileage increasing the power will probably cause more problems, possibly with the drivetrain and probably wouldn’t increase the value. Enjoying the videos 👍🏻
Aww an old A3 I had mine for 16 years and it had 170k on the clock when I part exed it. The only thing wrong with it was rust where the jacking points were. I had to replace the throttle body in the end when the new MOT rules came in place about engine management lights. But she did me well for so long I do miss her.
Love this kinda stuff.
Makes me want to buy something cheap and get my hands dirty with it.
Conversion gets my vote.
Looking forward to watching 👍
Keep standard man and keep coming with then content would love to see a full fluid change service and the Quattro system service aswell 🙌🏾
Perhaps best to keep 100% standard. Good car potentially. Great video and your knowledge and understanding make great watching.
I would like to see you upgrade it mate will be good to watch.
Looking forward to this whatever you decide. I've got the Octavia Vrs with that engine in. So I'm interested in seeing the turbo being replaced.
If you’re going to keep it go k04 and stage 2+ with all the toys. Will be a great fun car to drive having had a stage 2+ edition 30 myself with 360bhp I know this well :)
However a standard k03 A3 all straight and true will sell easy and it’s quick cash turnaround for yourself. More a limited market selling an older A3 with a conversion but I’m sure you already know this as you’re a very knowledgeable guy. Look forward to the next one Dean.
Go K04 as it's OEM+. Easy and popular route for these/mk5 GTI. If you use 2nd hand parts you can do it for only a few hundred and it transforms the car.
Need an update on what you’ve still got, what’s gone and what still needs to be done!
Haha you bought the same car as me! Mines Ebony Pearl, bought it for a cheap in between car after returning a RCZ THP to the finance company due to having it 3 days and the head gasket going, it then broke down 2 more times after that. Any way the A3 drove so much nicer and I’ve fell in love it so kept it! Mine has the lighting pack, auto wipers but no parking sensors.
Some great content would be changing the timing chain, as I bet yours has started to be noisy on startup, Cam end seals, carbon clean from intake, pcp valve (smoke from crank case due to blockage?), upgrading the turbo to the K04 perhaps, retro fitting things like cruise control, (only needs the stalk and VCDS) lighting pack etc.
Maybe get the turbo modified with a larger set of impellers and remap... So it's standard on the outside but modified on the inside? There's a UK company that does that... Not sure of the scope of it with the current turbo castings?
And 4 matching tyres is always a good idea with 4wd 😊
Good luck either way 🍀🤞
Don't complain about rain - we'd love some - love the sound of rain. You said how pleased you are that the car hadn't been modified, so logic says a lot of other people would think the same, thus making it harder to sell when completed if you modify or "upgrade" it. Also people like to do their own modifications to suit their tastes and desires so I'd take it back to standard, clean and detail it and you should maximise your profit, thus allowing a better project next time.
Nice buy!! Keep as completely standard. Do all the mechanics and interior plus a top of the range valet. Will make a great car and seems to be a little pointless modifying it when you are not keeping it and as you say you might lose money on it. Might be inteesting to see massive polish up on the paint and a ceramic coating?
Cheers, Bob
Great content 👍👍I think you should do these types of projects on cars that the average person can afford.
Standard & clean as possible I think👍
A good decent car Dean, just keep it standard, recon turbo and a few other bits and your sorted, enjoyed the vid, well done.
K04 for fun...interested in the kit. Or keep standard easy sell before winter! Fun all the way.
Keep it standard, give it a good tidy up & get it running sweet, see what you can get back from it & it would be a nice cheap car for someone. 👍🏼 look forward to the engine/turbo investigation...
The S3 upgrades would be interesting to see done,but business wise it makes more sense to fix issues and sell for profit. It's a nice car.
Quick flip roll on to the next one don’t waste money mate 👍👏👏👏👏👏👍
I used to get lots of oil in the intercooler pipes in my old B5.5 Passat which needed frequent draining.
I’d say keep it standard, seems a clean car. Always a rarity to see cars standard these days. Great video mate keep it up! Can’t wait to see the state of the Turbo 😁
Love your videos and what u do on this channel but would love to see a modification project but thats up to u :)
Go for the k04 it will be good content for the channel. There are lots of cars with same engine and with the ko3 and I'm sure there will be a lot of people interested in watching a k04 conversion with big power.
K04 conversion! Limited sale market but good content....sleeper finish....no visual changes :-)
Would love to just see you restore it to original or OEM+ with the S3 parts.
Whatever floats you’re boat, I just think it’s cool that you show us you’re work. And love for you to earn a nice buck aswell!
From a business perspective fit a KO3 and get it out of the door, as you say there maybe other issues.
From a Dubnut point of view, KO4 all the way but, it is like using £50’s to wipe with 😂
Keep it standard and put it back to its former glory and keep up the good work
For content and to grow your channel I say do some mods - along the lines of the S3 but keep it fairly oem+ then raffle it off. I’d defo buy a ticket.
I'd go for full on S3 spec, with scrapyard salvaged parts ( apart from the turbo obvs ) it's a mod a lot of people would like to do for a cheaper pocket rocket.
Definitely try to up the output 👍👍👍
Repair and get rid. Not likely to make money jazz'n it up. Lovin the content.
Keep it standard pal, love the mechanical side of your work 😀
Stay safe go standard 👍
From a financial point of view just repair it back to standard. From a fun point of view get ringing TurboTechnics for a nice hybrid unit. Front mount intercooler and go the whole 9yds.
My son as a S3 with the same engine. I run my own Mechanics business and rebuilt the top end for him. Not easy engine to work in the car and it looks like you are going to be doing the turbo on yours. The exhaust manifold is a pig to remove a lot of bolts you can not see and the left hand side were the turbo is is almost impossible to remove and even worse to get back on in reassembling it .
My advise his to drop the engine to work on it a lot easier. Good luck and looking forward to more videos.
Got to agree with the majority, replace with KO3 and keep it standard. Get it cleaned up and flog it on👌
K03 hybrid or K04 conversion. Downpipe decat. Bigger intercooler. Ramair induction kit. Polybush it. Bigger brakes. Coil overs. Good tyres. Hit the track
Then take it over to R-Tech for a crazy custom map
finally some more affordable cars back on the channel, love it
Nice project 👌 perhaps keep it stock as the rest of the engine has done 116000 miles so pushing up the bhp could find any other weak points . Stay safe mate 👍 🍺
I would upgrade the turbo (if that's the fault's source) and leave other stuff standard. And get them mapped together up to the limit of the weakest link. You'd still get 250-260ish bhp I reckon and the K04 or whatever upgrade turbo would be running super safely, far from being maxed out.
K04 lay for itself in content hopefully, id love to see the upgrade dont think many people go that route so abit niché
I'd love to see you put the conversion kit on it, that would be very interesting!
Keep it standard future classic & it looks like the windscreen isn't broken for a change.
Keeping it standard is the smartest move money wise, regarding the contents of your videos, it really doesn't matter if you replace the turbo with an identical one or a bigger, apart from replacing the fuel pump and injectors...
Better make a bit of a profit and have money for more projects 😊😊😊
I would keep it stock, nice to see another budget car as well
Yes, that looks like a pretty good sign of total turbo failure...
I'd put it back to standard, if you modify it to S3 standard then the next owner is going to be paying S3 insurance premiums, unless they don't disclose the mods to the insurance, in which case they won't pay out if you crunch it. These were fairly popular with people who couldn't afford, or didn't want to pay S3 money and insurance, and it's likely they still are as they give a lot of the S3 driving experience at a much more affordable level...
Get a KO4 in it! I’ve got a mk5 GTI and I’m wanting to do it soon so it would be nice to see someone else tackling it too!
Either keep it stock, and move on if it’s not a tidy car, or if you wanna go down the modded route then make it into an S3 type replica and change some cosmetics aswell as that may help claw some money back when it comes to selling it.
Ko4 conversion; would be good to see the process , and whether the early tfsi engines can handle it... fragile at best... watch oil pump chain sprocket bolt... and the damn cam chain slap 😁
Think I'd put it to standard. Might just be my age but over 100k is a leggy engine to try to double it's power without stripping and rebuilding it completely I would imagine the oil looking fresh is probably because it's been refilled so often with it burning/losing it rather than an indication of care.
Keep it standard.. you said your self.. it hasn't been messed with it hasn't been thrashed/lowered or anything. Personally I'd like to see the ins and outs of doing the turbo and more fault finding 😀 brilliant for the money! What year is it? You didn't mention in your vid
It’s in the Reg, 56 plate 😀
@@SavingSalvage 🤣🤣🤣
No need for the sarcasm there.. im form Northern Ireland.. our reg is different here
It's an easy system to be fair. 56 is 2006
59 is 2009
62 is 2012
66 is 2016
70 is 2020
@@namegoeshere6638 when you tell me what 56 or 62 stands for yes it's simple. But not everyone on yt is from the UK. I'm from Iceland and living in Norway and in both countries you will have to take a look in the registration papers. But thanks for explaining this for us none UK citizens 😁
Do the all the mods you suggested, would love to see the result, By the way: love your vids!
Standard, I like to see your car's restored.
I can't believe someone would neglect a car like that.
I think you should just keep it standard and let’s hope you can make a good profit on it and hope you are staying safe and and another brilliant video as always
Don’t forget to check the cam follower 👌🏻
Nice project . Keep it standard. New tyres, brakes and recon turbo will be almost a grand. After all the work is done, should get 3.5k to 4k for it. Is it cat N or unrecorded? Thanks.
I would love to see you convert it but can the engine take the pressure of a bigger turbo? You are the expert so you’ll know the answer. Love ur channel!
I'm a bit concerned it didn't look like there was any coolant in the tank.
I like the idea of throwing a KO4 on there and having a little fun, so long as the numbers somewhere near balance out?
You're probably in for a new turbo, so additional spend of another couple hundred not end of world and would make some good content Vs a straight swap?
That's assuming the car doesn't need any major spends in other areas so you've got some overheard room?
Good luck with her. She's got smoke coming out all of the fun places :-D
