In Belgium you need to improvise to pass inspecion. Even upgraded metal braided brakelines are illegal, so we put a bit of shrinktube over it, so it looks like the stock rubber ones ;)
Belgium car control don't know it's lowered if a car has plain black springs, or they might think it, but if you say you bought it like it is, they won'r check it. it's just another rip off to take money from people with a "special" tuning control, that costs you money money and more money, while a car get's balanced and put on a align bench after lowering.
Also, you boys should have had flywheel resurfaced. You're new clutch is likely going to have some judder/chatter as it tries to engage on the old flywheel's uneven/glazed surface. I would have also replaced the transmission and motor mounts since you had easy access to them.......and I would have used a grinder/sander to clean up the suspension and brake hardware and painted them to increase service life. Otherwise, a decent job that you and your mates have done to keep this nice car on the road. : )
Nice to see 4 friends working together towards the same goal, helping each other and having fun. Keep up the good work guys. That’s awesome. Oh, and Dimitri is looking great. Hope it works great for you.
I would like to thank you for your videos, I own a Audi 80 B4 1993 . And Its my first car, im learning a lot from your videos and I’m very thankful! I now understand hot to keep your car clean and running! Much love from Latvia 🇱🇻!
Again a very good video, Memphis, love the way you show every detail! This Audi seems to have the same Golf engine I have in my 83 Golf 1.8. Best wishes from The Netherlands
Temperaturesensor: Blue für ECU, black for Dashboard (if you don´t know it). If there is again trouble: New cheap sensors may be bad as they´re leaving the factory in China. Don´t throw original sensors away if the readings (Ohm) are okay.
I like this. Not just because I bought a Audi 100 Quattro in need of some love recently, this was a good and simple approach for a video. Very relaxing.
8.55: removing the steering rack. No need to remove brake booster or anything. These C4 Audis have a steering rack service hatch in the driver side wheel well. You remove and replace the rack trough there. Sorry to point this out too late though. 😜
TOP video jongens. Heel goed om te kiezen voor een voice over. Duidelijke uitleg, humor en geen overbodige prietpraat. Heel leuk om te zien hoe je met wat vrienden aan een auto kunt sleutelen en waarschijnlijk ook een hoop leert. Ik kijk uit naar de volgende.
It's very nice that you showed us how the legalisation procedure of those springs looks like. It doesn't look like much of a paperwork, thats great. And I'm glad now you can perform precision tailgating properly, safety first. Great video!
First time watching a video from your channel. I envy you for the space you have, I had to rebuild an engine in the parking lot with neighbour's looking at me like zoo. Great job!
In Poland, nobody gives a shit about those springs. I've got an audi 80 with lowered suspension (red srings, yellow shock absorbers), bigger brakes, chip, different seats, and lots of other stuff, and as long everything is working fine, the guy at the inspection is happy
The Audi C4 chassis is one of the best made cars ever. No, I'm not joking. The quality of these cars is akin only to maybe '80s Mercedes. Congrats on all the work you did. We didn't get that engine in the USA, only the 2.8 V6 and the 2.2 Inline 5 turbo (AWD only). But FYI, you don't want to use any regular Power Steering Fluid in the rack. Only mineral oil: CHF-11S. And the rear brake calipers can be refurbished, since they are hard to find. That will fix your uneven wear issue, and most likely your parking brake lever on the caliper will need cleaning and lubricating. Looking forward to more videos of this car! It's funny to see how much room you have in the engine bay with that smaller engine, but even the 2.8 gives you plenty of room. They even fitted a V8 in this car.
1:22 great job !!! But from what ive heard, bondo straight on bare metal makes it rust again, because theres moisture in bondo. Makes sense to me but i dont know if its true
You have to apply body filler to bare metal otherwise it won’t stick. There isn’t moisture but it attracts moister that’s why it’s not a good idea to leave bare, so aslong as you paint it you’ll be fine!
@@rotttttttttttten Seems that there are as many opinions as sprayers. :) I heard, that first epoxy primer should be applied, then it should be sanded, only after that bondo should be used.
check for water in spare wheel compartment, it usually leaks behind rear bumper., i would suggest taking off front fender completley and removing foam padding behind it, it collects water and rusts front fenders form inside.
I love your channel.. been a long time since I was in Belgium. I was there for the 1994 Liberation parade in Antwerp. Great time! The people were super friendly. Hopefully one day i will be able to come back.
Dude, I just love that you really want to help your friend, after looking at your other videos, It made me subscribe to you of the content you make. To be honest painting illegal springs to make them look less Illegal, made me laugh really loud, but I like it. I hope you will do more build/videos like that.
Nice work, you are lucky to have such parts availability. I've been rebuilding a similar chassis with my 93 Audi V8 4.2L, trying to track down parts in Canada for that car requires a detective with a time machine it seems...
I feel your pain. I once almost bought an older 3.6 liter Audi V8. Before buying, I did some investigation on part prices. ONE front brake rotor (original from Audi classic parts) was about 450 euro's, VAT not included and couldn't find any aftermarket ones. Bought something else instead :)
rear shock absorber stop was ripped in half and dust boot fallen down, it should be up and cower shock absorber properly. Also if cv joint is attached to the hub with bolt you can remove axle from cv joint with the same bolt.
From my experience with older Audis, 9 times out of 10 when the rear brakes are seized the culprit is typically the parking brake cables and in that case unfortunately you just have to bite the bullet and replace the parking brake cables as well as the rear cables. VW actually recommends replacing the cables whenever you replace the rear calipers.
Nice vid! I've left you a thumbs up. Only thing, it's too bad you guys didn't change the flywheel - after all it would make a lot of sense, since you already mounted a new clutch. Nevertheless, nice work, really enjoy your content :) Greetings from Aachen, Germany ✌🏼
I really enjoy your videos, i happy to see how much you do for a car. I do something like you , with 2 golf mk1 1.8 k-jetronic and 1 mk2 converter to GTD.... And doit well is a really sensations
4:47 The brake discs were already very thin? They could be left on the car if they were of the required thickness. The corrosion of the brake disc doesn't mean anything. A dozen or several dozen km is enough and the brake disc will be automatically cleaned. If you replace the brake discs, remember to use only the highest quality components.
Petje af voor wat jullie doen jongens, en ook voor hoe jullie het doen ... en er dan ook nog eens een fijne onderhoudende video van maken. Chapeau, en de groet'n van de bovenburen. ;-)
It's so funny to me seeing you talk about illegal springs and everyone in the comments talk about TUV when here in America all I have to do is make sure my heavily modified Audi has a catalytic converter one day every two years for an emissions inspection
Mooie klus zo met je maten en dat je elkander kunt helpen ! Auto ziet er weer keurig uit en dat jullie aardig binnen het budget zijn gebleven ! Leuke video !
excellent work friend !!! very good for you !!! by the way ... are you from england, ireland or some country of those? many greetings from Argentina South America!
If he gets caught with those lowering springs this will be evidence piece number one. And why are the modifications laws down there that’s strict? Love the videos tho mate keep them coming.
I am a young guy with an old Mazda 323f from 1991, I live in Belgium and I wish I knew guys like you to teach me how to take care of her. Hopefully next month she's getting an old timer plate, I want to keep her going as long as I can. It is very hard to be a retro car fan in belgium
man i love your videos! i enjoy working on cars, my friends not so much lol. For some reason i find it so satisfying to end a day with "black hands". Oh yeah, I learned the hard way that coolant hurts when you get it in a little wound(s).
Finally a budget car building/repairing series worth watching :). Most other channels/builds are way to high budget for my taste.
U own Audi like this?
TÜV spray for the springs :D
In Belgium you need to improvise to pass inspecion.
Even upgraded metal braided brakelines are illegal, so we put a bit of shrinktube over it, so it looks like the stock rubber ones ;)
In Spain too, depending on how unlucky you were that day with your assigned inspector.
In Sweden you get compliments from the inspector if you got braided stainless.
Like Germany, Only TÜV approved parts are allowed.

@Ben T. in Hungary we call it "sprayable TÜV paper " :D

@@ALINUED spaying the spring or putting lowered spring under your car?
@@ROKITUNING yes. i wanna put vogtland 3 & 4 cm spring under my car in hungary and i dont have any idea whats gonna happen in MOT :D
Everyone: It's illegal.

so i'm not the only one in belgium painting lowering springs XD
It's mandatory as a Belgian to spray your springs, my namebrother
That great feeling when you get the notification about new 100 C4 repair video on Friday :)
Finally a channel thats not afraid of budget builds. Love it!!!!
Dude, great vid!!! Loved how you had parked in the driveway a E28, E34 and the Audi 100, now that is nice... Keep up with the good content...
8.55: removing the steering rack. No need to remove brake booster or anything. These C4 Audis have a steering rack service hatch in the driver side wheel well. You remove and replace the rack trough there. Sorry to point this out too late though. 😜
Can the steering bellows be changed directly in the engine compartment without removing the steering gear
?

good effort boys, nice to see the people of Belgium are not afraid to work in the rain or the dark....
Nice to see you back mate,with another youngtimer classic! Respect
Your workshop is coming along nicely, can't wait to see it complete. Good content as usual!

Great work boys! Nice AUDI!
I like the gearbox stand. Jupiler is the best beer, I'm glad we're able to get it here in Germany just at the border to Belgium.
try Grolsch
That's so much rust, but you guys make it looks so good after, hello from California

Very interesting indeed. Can't wait to see the outcome of the inspection.
Memphis, your vlogs are so informative, entertaining and humorous. As a Brit, I really love your turn of phrase. You’re a star 👌
Congratulations on the rebuild. Fantastic jobs. Legal Inspection incoming ?
Recently found you channel, love ur vids Man
Teamwork makes the dream work well done, very enjoyable to watch keep it up.
rear shock absorber stop was ripped in half and dust boot fallen down, it should be up and cower shock absorber properly. Also if cv joint is attached to the hub with bolt you can remove axle from cv joint with the same bolt.

If the temp reading still seems off, check the speedometer itself, atleast on the 80 the 6 pins on the back tend to unsolder themselves for no reason.
Subscribed.... from Durban, South Africa... good stuff...thanx guys
Nice video. See a lot of parts simelar on my audi cabrio 2,3 E /5 cilinder. Wel done guys !
Good team work. Great job guys.
Great videos as always, was waiting for this video to come out

The row of bricks makes the sense of ”Haven’t finished the garage because the lift came up” very strong.
Another brilliant video Memphis loving this series 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Just subscribed guys great content , keep them coming 😊 watching from England 👍🏻
Amazing, keep it up i loved it
good work bois
Mind you- two days for all that work is very good! :D
Great video. Both educational and entertaining!
Amazing job and great video

Very good vedio really enjoyed it and hope you had a good time together fixing demitry
you can also welding the stainless steel flex pipe into the exhaust to connect with the last muffler
I have the same problem as the (shorter) muffler, what changes need to be made?thanks
Just found you channel. Keep up the amazing work!

Geweldig om Dit te zien.goed gedaan
Great Job
Well you guys don't mess about, makes it easier to have the lift though
Great video man pls keep them comeing
Beatifull job for the money. Better than buy a new Corsa or 208 Peugeot. Good luck for your projects.
Nice project!
Wow it is strange that you can't pass with red springs. In Lithuania i got a pass on my mk2 golf with coilovers :D
Машина хорошая, сам владел такой.
invest in some spring tensioners so that way it's safer for you or your mates with compressing them buddy, good video :D
Super gemacht!
