Nice to see a younger chap looking after a Mk1 TT. The one thing you need to do though, without a doubt, is add some Waxoil to the underneath. Its a messy job, but the black stuff in a spray can is superb. Clean the underside with a brush, some light sand paper, and get the muck, loose debris and surface rust off where you can on those beams and bars. Then coat the whole thing, at least twice. Do it one day, leave it on, then add another coat the second day when its dried a bit. Then you can forget about it rusting and drive around all winter with no issues. And it will save you a lot of money in the long run, keeping parts preserved. I have a Mk2 TT, and its mostly aluminium so I dont need to worry about rust, but on mine the boot floor / rear subframe can be an issue, so I cleaned it up and waxoiled the lot. Just passed its MOT and the mechanic said it was really clean and rust free under there. As you keeping the car outside as well, and not garaged it would be a really good idea. It will cost about £30 for the waxoil and couple of days messy work. But it means the car will stay rust free and help to hold its value long term...
I appreciate the feedback, I am eventually going to be dropping the front and rear subframe and sand blasting and powder coating them to make them look brand new so I’m not too worried about them.
Good idea. But when that is done. Waxoil them. No matter how good they look. All the stones, salt and debris on the roads will still chip the new coating, so the waxoil will prevent that happening. I am not a salesman for the stuff, I just have used it for years and it works. Its the only stuff out there that does, no matter what other protections you put on the metal and suspension etc. Its bitter experience that has taught me this...heh...It will be a thorough fix and future prevention too.....
Honestly I’d give it a go yourself! As if you learn how to do it, you’ll save yourself some money, and next time you’ll be twice as fast at doing it. And if I can do it, you can do it too👍
Thanks for the motivation! Might give it a go when it gets a bit hotter outside, save some good money! Always fun learning just scared of destroying something but will watch your video and hopefully all goes well :) @@JoshsPOV
@@molin7493 No worries man! There plenty of videos on how to do it on UA-cam, and if there is something in my video i've missed, there always another one out there for extra context, good luck with it, and when you do it, make sure you let me know how it goes!

@@Simon-xc5oy definitely will do the wax oil! Same with the sills too, they all need sorting also!
very bad pickup pipe design that it traps all rubbish inside
Yeah it's not great, its a shame there isn't an upgraded version that we could replace it with!
Do you get a tapping noise when it’s blocked ?
My dude becoming a whole ass Audi tech out here 😂 good seeing Matty, I’m so glad the QS is ok bro 😅
It looks like your pcv system has deteriorated into the sump, and then into your pickup pipe .
@@MrBoosted6000 that’s exactly what’s happened brother! 🤘
Nice change to see y oung english men repairing affordable cars.
Trying my best to repair, but sometimes I think it’s sheer luck😂
Never got the light but sure as hell got the noise. Scared im going to see glitter in the pan. Wish me luck
Good luck brother, let me know how it goes!
Mobil 1 5w40 oil ?
I got quoted almost 400£ from audi to do oil chance, oil filter and change this pickup pipe, to expensive or resonable?

And if I can do it, you can do it too👍
