- In today's video we take a little break from the Mustang whilst we're waiting for parts and tools to arrive. So we take a look at a few cars that I've had since before i started the UA-cam channel that you may have seen in other videos in the backgrounds.
Copart and Ebay?
We check out why I bought them, how much they cost and whats wrong with them!
Yep would love to see a series on these two! Looks like a pair of bargains to me.
thankyou Daniel
Yes . The turbo replacement would be great .
Quality and finish in the A3 is superb. No other small car really competes with it. Wife bought a Sportback new in 2006 and still nothing has gone wrong with it- even the battery lasted 12 years. Would very much enjoy videos on repairs.
I'd like to see your progress on them both please.
Your channel is interesting and you are good at explaining what you do and any jobs you do on your cars are of interest to most of us so keep putting out content.
Thankyou :)
Please document the fix on the TDI. It's always interesting to see fixes on normal people's cars! 😊
For the indicator problem check your wire harness and your BCM MODULE, use the forscan tool. Hope this helps you out buddy:)
Bring on the future A3 footage.
Yeah would love to see a repair on the 170
After rewatching first couple of minutes, looked up the Sportback. Got expired MOT from 18 months ago. Definitely needs putting back on the road. Great motorway car. 👍
Yes fix that old Audi A3, I’d like to see how you get the turbo out to replace it.
Those PD engines are famous for oil pump issues. My Passat with the 2.0TDI had the later non chain drive pump but I changed out the balance shaft unit and turbo as it started whining at about 60k.
Now done over 148k in the car and it's still going strong. So definitely do the repair in my view. Garrett OEM turbos had for about £600 which is much less expensive than Audi direct
Please repair the sportback! And if you Change the turbo please make a diy on how to Change it! Keep on the good work!
Yes. Would love to see you repair the A3
I think you should make videos on them, really does help as ive learnt a lot just from watching you
8P shape still looks good inside and out. Solid cars.
Yes please, it would be great to see the remaining work required on both cars. Great video.
Yep would be interested in videos on both these A3s especially the one with the weird indicator fault. It has intrigued me and it looks a really smart little car and bet it goes well :-) being a 3 litre .
Same engine as the R32 so great engine :)
Would love to see some content of the 3.2 v6 as I’ve never really seen them before
Its the same engine thats in the VW R32's :)
And they put them in the TT?
correct :)
I have one, they're great
I currently have a 2009 A4 with the 3.2L V6. been an amazing car in the last 8 months. have put 17k miles on it without a single issue.
Be nice to see you do lower wishbones on the S3, without using a ramp!
Not all people have access and have to do on drive way with axle stands!
There would be alot of swearing haha
Do it drive style
It's not even hard on a Jack and axle stands if you have something without 'halfords' written on it. I got my Jack for £120 new and it lifts whatever high enough to do whatever. The axle stands should be nice sturdy ones.
Love to see them back on the road again 👍
yeah definitely fixed them up. im a big audi fan and always doing similar jobs. interested to know about the indicator light isssue
Deffo would love to see some videos on the 3.2 👍🏻
yep repair both, is there a broken wire in the wing somewhere?
Would be great to see the audi a3s sorted. Especially the diesel one. Great videos.enjoy them. Thanks
Thanks :)
I had similar turbo problem with 2005 A4 TDI. Solved by Powermax Engineering updated pump kit (£471.97) Turbo rebuild to new hybrid (£414.00) and Big End Bolts (£41.86). 40 hours labour to strip, fit and repair. Car cost £3,000.00 originally. Sold for £2,350.00 after doing another 20k miles after repair. Not bad considering...
Wow! You sure do love your toys. It would be good to see these cars repaired while being documented. Will make good content so its a win win👍🏾
Love the channel mate, be good to see more smaller projects like S3 & the black A3. Like the bigger long term projects like the mustang. 😀
It works well when were waiting for parts for the bigger projects so content doesn't dry up :)
Do we want more quality content from you? Is the Pope a Catholic? 😁
haha
Hes actually not catholic u idiot, do some research
Yes would like to see how this problem is fixed keep up the good wk
Yeah. Like to see both done and sold, ( hopefully for a good price...)....
i have changed a turbocharger bot long ago on the same car but on a driveaway, if you use the lift it should be quite easy but many bolts to round off just be careful
Wrenching is wrenching, doesn't matter what car, document it all.
Unironically I know a guy selling a 2.0 TDI A3 S Line. £600 needs some suspension work and welding in the front offside wheelarch.
I’d liked to have seen the timing chain replacement and clutch on the 3.2. The 2.8 liter VR6 on a 2000 Golf was a kick to drive with a 6 speed manual, I bet this Audi 3.2 would be fun too.
Wow been here since 1.2k subs keep growing mate!!!
Defo Fix them up and you should build the 3.2 into a beast,that would be good to watch 👌🏻
they would be worth 6k each in usa its silly how fast cars lose value in the uk
I think it's because British cars used to rust horribly and be pretty worthless in short order. Cars are better now but the stigma remains. (Also everyone leases new cars)
Definitely! I'd like to see you sort both A3's out 👍
we would like u to repair these cars, transform them into badasses
Be great to see the turbo change
The 3.2 has what I'm assuming is a genuine votex kit on it! Very hard to find and the a3 boys go mad for them, especially the side skirts. Be a nice car when its all done 😁
Yep genuine kit :) That car was immaculate when i got it! I managed to reverse a trailer into it if you see the damage on the o/s/r! :(
As well as oil pump chain tensioner wear issues VAG 2.0 TDI between 2005 and 2009 also have balancer unit shaft issues (those engines fitted with a Lanchester balancer unit) where the hexagonal 'key' bar driving the oil pump from shaft 2 of the balancer unit were matched with a 12 point 'spline' hole in the shaft itself and there was some slight play between them. This meant the key and the hole wear over time (80k to 150k on average) to the point that the key rounds off damaging the weak shaft hole at the same time and oil pump drive ceases. No more oil pressure = imminent engine death.
Does your 57 plate A3 have a balancer unit? If so did you check the oil pump drive key bar and second shaft hole for wear? If not there's no need to worry.
Plenty of information on this infamous VAG engine problem on the Web.
Yes, get them repaired - You''ll be best to find the wiring diagram on ELSAwin for the 3.2 A3.
I'm betting on BCM issue.......wiring issue would presumably still trigger a bulb fail 'fast flash' which it doesnt show symptoms of.
Yep, im going to get a full wiring diagram printed out :)
@@SavingSalvage have you scanned for faults with vagcom yet buddy?
yep, no faults stored unfortunately
I don't know Audi's but, presuming it's not a chafed wire somewhere I'd check the underbonnet fuse box for currosion.
I'm also wondering if someone used led bulbs and added loading resistors..... But that doesn't explain side repeater which looks like regular lamp.... Which should work OK if regular type
Great unit loads of space. Love the channel.
deffo replace turbo buddy that would be brillant
Silver one could be dodgy fuse or relay, or even a wrong bulb shoved in elsewhere can cause weird electrics. Had a car that went full beam every time you braked, turned out to be wrong Wattage bulb in the rear brake lights.
I checked all the bulbs already, first thing i did haha
It should be repaired after all it's an Audi. Cracking little car.
I think it's well worth showing the repairs on the TDi and the Quattro, partly to show the time bomb ticking away under the bonnet of an awful lot of 2.0 TDis and to show fairly common electrical issues on that era of Audis...
Yes do it, It will be a very good series
Would love to see you repair them both
Yes please fix them and show us!
Good bargains. I've always wondered about the 2.0tdi a3. Are they as prone to failure as the internet suggests (compared to the older 1.9 pd) ?
3:00 to be honest mate, if the 2.0 TDI hat problems with the oil pressure and in this case even any oil going to the needed parts in result even the turbo totaled, which would usally not happend at around 100k, i would open up the engine and check the (pardon my english) "cross grinding", dont know if that the right word. i would check for damage on the cylinder walls, if it has full compression, if maybe the crankshaft bearings are damaged or if other parts did suffer of not enough lubrication.
i would not be happy to sell a car, where i know the turbo had to be replaced because of a complete lose of any lubrication throughout the system, without checkind every part of the system. yes it is quite a lot of work, but it could go at any minute, if someone hits it hard on the motorway.
When you fix the car with the sloppy turbo, I would hope you change the CHRA/cartridge rather than risking a second hand unit or paying more than you need for a new or refurb.
yes i will be changing the core :)
Yes I would like to see theses two A3 put back on the road keep the good work up .
Defo interested in these two, wouldn't mind an A3 as a daily soon
Why does the grey one look so angry from the front 😂
just subscribed i saw the videos on the S3 and loved the channel
thanks :)
Yeah will be a really interesting content
Please do the turbo change on the a3. I am in the process on my passat 2.0tdi 170 so more or less the same.
Would love to see a short drive of that 3.2
Would like to see videos repairing both.
Re the 3.2 could the indicator fault be a BCM issue?
Yep, i have a feeling it will be a convenience module
How much for the 3.2? 👌
Repair both. Good content.
Great content youve got 2 Great A3 cars for a bargain cost,when repaired 5k for both.😉
Again, great Video! Anything car related is good content 👍🏼 have you checked the BCM? 1st thing that comes to mind regarding the 3.2 indicator problem.
yeahhhh... give it a go.. its all goood content when ur havin a beer.. :)
Love the channel and definitely want to see videos on these 👌
Defo repair the A3, I've always wondered how hard a turbo swap is. Maybe fit a slightly bigger one, and some bigger injectors ;)
Yes I would like to see more of your work mate 👍
Yep. Document the lot. Not far off 10k subs. Well done and keep them coming
Both cars would be great to see fixed
Yes do the cars, just started watching your channel great content keep it up
I also watch cars for Paul he had a similar problem with his indicators and it was the bcm but just a suggestion 🛠️🛠️🛠️👍👍👍👍🚗🚗
I think you’ll find that if you build it we will watch it lol I know for a fact that I will because I will definitely be watching it so my vote is yes build them both fantastic video by the way keep up the great work
Regarding the 04 plate have you checked the relay might just be worth a look bro good luck
Ive already replaced the relay (its built into the hazard switch). I reckon its a control module at fault
Saving Salvage no worries mate thought it might have been it was just an idea lol
Yes would like to see it done
That a3 is a dream first car for me right now😯
I would like to see both cars done i luv audis and hate them off the road
Yes let's see them repaired and sold show us the process
Yes would love to see 2 a3's repaired. Plus how much you sell them for and how much profit there is in it.
Cars are sooo cheap in the UK.
These audis, expecially the 2.0 TDI could get you like 4000€ in Slovenia or even more given all the equipment! Sweet looking ride ;)
Fix them both. Btw Your videos are getting better and better.
Thanks mate :)
Definitely yeah make for good content on affordable bargains 👍🏻
Defo make a video of both 👌
Really good video, would defiantly want to see turbo replaced
Yes would like to see this repaired I'm sorry I missed the oil pump as I haven't done one before so would have like to see that....2 cheap cars that fair play I would not take on a timing chain big job would like to see one done I do belts head gaskets but to me chains seem to be a hard fix ...well done 2 good buys but they allway are if you can fix them .👋🏻
Would love to see more of these A3s.
I have a 2011 1.8tfsi ambition A3
Yeah do turbo so we can how hard there are to do
Yes get them done and sold would make interesting vewing
Yeah definitely mate! Would love to see that!
Be nice to see the v6, something different 👌
The 56/57 plate 2.0 pd engines are renowned for their oil pumps failing
Defiently would want videos on it
Definitely repair the Audi!! Would love to see the outcome!
i wish i had your accent!! you are totally aussy or england. wow. i dont understand why anybody would want to even consider getting all greasy and yukky to rebuild a car. just go buy a car of your dreams... but we all have our favorite things in life. thats yours. i wish you good luck. in america in ny we have huge ten acre car lots know as scrap yards and you can go in with your own tools and pull off or out the car parts you need for your project like yours. its cheaper than factory priced stuff, the owner just keeps buying cars with issues or in accidents, etc etc. GREAT ACCENT!!!
Be good if you can get them back on the road.
Did that generation 2.0TDI have a chain driven oil pump? I thought they had one driven by a "hex drive" which prior to 2010 was susceptible to rounding off resulting in failure, oil starvation and, as you experienced, secondary damage to the turbo.
You need to sort the camera sound system out because when you listen to your videos with headphones it keeps switching sound very disturbing
Do them both doesn't matter which you do first.
Definitely would like to see you document them
I seen a video on a fiesta with body control module and it wouldn't let headlights or indicators come on a guy from Bournemouth Paul's flip cars I think is the channel name
That Audi does the headlight work by any chance because ive heard about having to replace bulbs on both sides on newer version cars something about the voltage of the bulbs and the sycnorisation with the ECU unit correcting itself because bulbs being faulty or not working and then won't turn on
