Myself and Chris have just got off a plane so unfortunately didn’t have chance to pin this comment before the video went live in this video we decided that we are not doing the numbers due to checking through the analytics recently it seems like everybody’s is just driving out before the end of the video so it is absolutely pointless for us to do them. Like I have been mentioning in recent videos we are constantly trying new things and nothing is set in stone nothing is permanent we just have to try and test things Have a great weekend everyone and will be live at five on Monday as usual 👌👍
Was wondering why they wasn’t mentioned I quite enjoy that bit👌🏻
Always watch them to the end bud ...
It’s my favourite part the numbers 😭 and I watch every last second on the videos 🙂
Hang on, are you and Chris taken a well deserved boys holiday together ? 😀
Always enjoy the numbers.
It amazes me how Chris has become so comfortable in front of the camera and talking and even filming himself with you running around! Love the channel ! Keep them coming.🇨🇦👍
Indeed, from shy and quiet to an amazing host :)
Gone from no comment , to prime time Micheal Barrymore
Chris needs a Mic, sometimes miss his comments, well done lads!
Anybody watching this should be grateful. You both do a amazing work 👏
@@dietersmythe9649 +1 get that man a mic 👍
One of the best times of day when I get to sit down and watch these 2 mechanical masters
They really are very clever guys seem to know about every car and van .
Mustie1 is the same as Chris mechanical wizard.
Same here 👍
@Dave Johnson Chris is definitely the master mechanic here
Rob, you never have to apologise for for the content you put out. Everything you do is awesome and very interesting. If the general public don't like what you guys do they can go elsewhere for their free entertainment. I always love to see a new vid from both of you. I have tons of panelbeating and mech repair experience but i love to watch chris solving problems and I still learn from your channel. I always enjoy your vids a lot. Please keep them coming. Chris could do with a bluetooth mic when he is explaining stuff as he is very hard to hear but the whole channel is great. Thanks guys.
Chris would definitely deserve a mic. I wanted to mention this as well.
Chris did it again there is no end to this mans talent 👏 what a master mechanic you put manufacturer's dealers ships to shame with your knowledge and experience and workman ship .Best of luck lads 👦 have a fantastic weekend 👍
The difference is the dealerships are happy to spend days on end doing it for £80+ and hour, these lads are paid based on how quick the jobs done
Many of us watch to the end, numbers always great. Thank you for sharing
Good to see Chris recycling cardboard.....and sorting gearboxes
What a legend
Brilliant bit of work by Chris, those mechatronic gearboxes look extremely complex so hats off to him for getting this one sorted. Now a very nice little car for someone. Personally I always like to see the number crunching and do stay for that but obviously its your call!
Always love Chris's explanations, the more the better.
Keep up the good work guys, love your videos. Thanks.
Great work from you both to get the car back on the road but I'm still amazed at Chris' knowledge and skill. Not everyone dives out before the end, I quite enjoy crunching the numbers! Nice work guys.
Always love the numbers, Rob!
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant guys. After the previous owner being quoted what they were, for Chris to decide to give it a go and have the car running perfectly again. Great job and a well deserved result!
Another great video guys, fair play to Chris, worked his magic once again. 👍.
Another fist rate rebuild/repair, you are repairing an Audi a car very close to my heart. Totally amazing, seriously you should seriously consider consultant work. It doesn’t matter what car you work on you run rings around the mechanics/technicians at my German main agent. I replaced a speaker in the door of my Audi, the dealership wanted £120.00 to check the speaker was faulty then another £200.00 plus the part to complete the job. If you guys opened a garage I would not hesitate to have my car serviced by you.
Two days work well spend . Top marks
A masterclass in how to fix a broken DSG gearbox. These small Audis are lovely cars and very popular with youngsters these days. They are everywhere in South Scotland. Even my mother owns one with the DSG box.
I am on my 3rd Seat in 8 years and they have this 7 speed DSG box, I have to say they are the best gear box I have ever used, smooth as butter and quick changing. Cheers guys.
Chris is a quiet achiever. Rob is a born organizer.
Good video lads, Chris has got another notch under his belt not only cuts grass, drinks lots of coffee he fixes gearboxes as well ! What does Rob do? Stand there in amazement (and still the gopher )!!!
There seems to be nothing you 2 can't salvage 👍 such a joy to watch 😀
What a great video, Chris giving his piece to camera is a joy to watch. His all round skill is amazing and meticulous .Thank you to the boys who can.👍🇬🇧keep The Faith.London Paul.
Cracking car. Chris is clearly a very talented guy. Gives us all the confidence to have a go at jobs which might appear daunting. Well done guys.
No numbers on this one then lads another 1 bites the dust Chris got mad skills I tell ya 👍just seen the comment I enjoy the numbers and always watch to the end
Are you not doing the numbers on this one? Would be interested to know how much it cost to rebuilt the gearbox?
Hopefully that'll come when Robs wife has done the 200 miles etc, there is a very good chance that this stays in the family though. Cracking little car.
Chris you are amazing,you have gold in your hands.Extremly nice video.Rob you haven't crunched the numbers.
Wow well done Chris I’ve had 3 Golfs with dsg boxes 2 mark 6 and I now have a 7, the problem you had was typical early version problems, normally an end to your car at 4grand replacement, the later versions are much more reliable they are really nice to drive as it’s very smooth in changing gears,mate you never seem to amaze me keep up your videoing feller I’m loving it.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😃oh and one day we will meet!!!
Just as we love Chris, I think Rob might be feeling a little over looked, it's Rob that 'reaches out' and finds us all this great content and then gets it sold, so thanks the pair of you, and your very understanding partners.
Have a great weekend lads - did I miss the numbers??? Great work from Chris figuring it all out.
Top job by Chris on a complex gearbox to work on, amazing skill again and great result👍🇮🇪
Nice to see a repair being done that is out of the ordinary for most people including Chris's previous experience. Never too late to learn something new by having the confidence to have a go and do some research to get there.
Numbers bit is like an ending to a film.
Its interesting to see the quality content, the cost of the car, then end value of the car and you guys making a fair slice.
You’ve gotta do the numbers!! That’s the good bit. I always look forward to the pounds shillings and pence!!
Brilliant video again, Rob and Chris many thanks
Sunday is my binge watching day 😀 it's like my soap fix with out the soap 😀
In my opinion, the Numbers at the end is always a nice finale on each project you tackle..Wraps it all up with a bow on top..🎁🎁🎁👌👌👌
The master cracked it again. 🤩🤩🤩
Cracking little car that, Chris is some kind of genie or wizard! ...His work is absolutely meticulous.
Well done Chris on figuring that gear box out. Nice work chaps.
As I’ve said before everybody needs a Chris in their life. Lucky you Rob.
Terrific video, Rob and Chris. Thanks so much.
Awesome work both of you, Chris done well sorting that Audi A1,another car back on the road and drives.
Great video. It’s good to show how you get broken bolts out. It’s a skill one learns with practice. Drilling a straight hole is so important. Then using the correct easy out ( A left hand thread kind of tap). Sometimes the easy out will not remove the broken bolt. So now we use a rats tail file and file out the bolt till one gets near the threads of the old bolt and the insert or female thread of the item. Scrape out the last bit of bolt in the female threads. Access is everything. I remember cutting down a easy out with a carbon wheel and making flats on the end so I can put on a open ended spanner, had such bad access. Keep them coming guys .
You and Chris are AMAZING fixing car's. So so interesting. I love your videos.
What a great result, them stubby drills are tip top, my gb fill plug was seized proper, refilled it via the breather
Real problem solving engineering! This is what rebuilding salvage vehicles is all about. And Chris did the hard part lying on his back in the yard!! Great video guys 👍
Fabulous result lads. Chris has knocked it out of the park. 😀
Excellent stuff. Big well done to Chris on tackling that without seeking specialist help, and well done to you Rob for getting the parts.
Absolutely nice work by Chris👌impressive👍
Chris has now been awarded professor status, in the University of life ,showing outstanding professionalism in this project.
Rob is also actively being reviewed update to be made public in the near future .
A scroll will be forwarded to confirm.
From the Board of University of Life Uk.
Another one done and dusted lads! How good was Chris, very talented bloke who is so humble too. As always thank you for the great content.
Love how the A1 turned out Rob,shifts smooth :D
Keep up the good work!
Hats off to Chris for attempting this. Legend. Absolutely nailed it 👍
Another cracking little car saved, great work on that gearbox unit Chris.
The best guys on UA-cam 👌👍💜
What a fantastic turn around guys, well done Chris, your skills are amazing!! Yet again another fantastic video!!!
Fantastic job guys, Chris the maestro as ever.
I really enjoy the more in-depth mechanical videos guys 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
If you set the shift forks to neutral which is the centre position and the actuators are set to 25mm it goes on no problem.
There is also a tool T10407 that holds back the clutch engaging levers. You can fill the mechatronic before fitting and fill it through
the plug on the top near the breather. Good job guys
VAG Group DSG boxes really are the best 👍🏻
Brilliant result guys. Well done to you both.
Really enjoyed that one, cant wait to next week.
Chris is the guru of cars . You two should be on discovery channel 👊👊👊
Great job Chris on the gear box.👍👍👍
Brilliant to see how Chris did this. Great video from you both, thanks!
Another great video guys, Chris done a fantastic job, it drives so quietly...All the best Mark.
A nice quick turn around for you, and a well done to Chris for taking it on
You two blokes are such a great team. Keep it up!
Nice Job Chris ! Well done Sir !👍👍👍👍👍
superb as always gents but still do the numbers plz as i and lots of others still enjoy them thx
Excellent work guys have a good weekend 👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve been watching you both since you started the channel and enjoy the content and learned so much on the way. Am sure yourselves are still learning something new week by week which makes it all the more interesting. Every episode is virtually something unseen. Love it.
Chris is a wizard with cars you make a good team Rob keep up the good work mate top channel 👏👏
My elder brother is like chris, he can mend anything including gearboxes, engines etc on motorbikes or cars.
He has been fixing vehicles for over 40 years.
I don't think he has ever failed fixing bikes or cars.
V smart 👍🏾
Good job again lads. loving the technical descriptions and how it affects the vehicles performance. Keep up the good work.
another cracking video guys just goes to show how Chris can turn he's hand to anything as nothing is to complicated can't wait to see what's on the channel next keep them coming 💯💯💯👍👍👍
Another top job guys, well done!
Superb teamwork and a great result. Thanks to you I've learnt more about gearboxes in the last few weeks than in the last 50 odd years combined. Great tip about the WD40 straw, could have done with that when changing the diff oil in an old Shogun a few months back. Took an absolute age.
The straw tip was a great idea 💡 for purging air before filling oil 🛢 😀 👌👍🤑
What a legend Chris is! Absolutely loved this project thank you guys!
hello Rob and Chris. Just so impressed by the way Chris mathodically does the resurch, then applies his skills and acheives to fully rebuild such a complicated and technical peice of equipment!! Well done!! I hope that the "new owners" really do apprecate the time and effort that has been put into this project? (I am sure that they will!!) best wishes from Lincolnshire.
Serious team work there guys 🤘😎🤘
Thank you, I love these very technical videos and I’m always pleased and relieved when you get success. Please keep doing the numbers….best wishes from France….
Superb result lads well done
A brilliant couple of videos guys, Chris very well done on that repair on a notoriously complex gearbox.
SRUK just gets better and better. Nothing the A Team cannot tackle. That car is not in the USA would love to Wow people with it. I know it’s a fun driver. Great work Great Video Thanks Gentlemen. Have yourselves a beer 🍺
Great video guys, I enjoy these technical type videos
You guys are totally amazing
You just fix it. You make it look so easy. Another fantastic video
Nice looking motor and well done Chris on the fix. Brilliant work Rob and Chris , thanks for sharing this with us take care
Bang on again chaps, hats off Chris 👍👍
Well done guys. They're not a walk in the park those transmissions. 👍🏼
Excellent video again 👍🏻 great to see Chris really getting stuck in and really seeing how easy it is to work on one of these DSGs. Have a great holiday 👌🏻
nice work lads really enjoyed that
Glad you fixed it guys. After watching part 1 on weds I then came across diagnose Dan's yt video on the same dsg box. One thing he did once it was refitted was to run a calibration procedure via the odb port. Might be worthwhile doing that.
1 off the best videos you 2 have done. Great results 👏
Another little gem complete,cheers.
Great content over the 2 parts , well done Rob and Chris.
Was really looking forward to seeing the final part to this one. what an amazing job by Chris yet again.
Keep up the good work it's great watching you two put cars & vans back on the road again.
great work guys . and look after your family Chris
Excellent result, lovely car Chris is the boy !
Nice job guys. No better way to learn than having a go.......keep up the great work.
I could sit and watch Chris at work all day, the man is a mechanical engineering genius. I honestly can't believe you guys haven't been approached by a TV network and given your own TV show? I reckon if you guys had your own TV show it would most definitely be a massive success...
Top work and a brilliant video as usual guys, absolutely brilliant...🙂👍👍👍
Rob + Chris = legends
