Want to say, i dont usually comment much....but i have to say it is so nice to see such thoroughly decent guys (both of you) doing skilled decent work and that are humble and kind and honest. It goes very far nowadays because with channels it is few and far between within social media. Have been watching for a long time (well over a year) to me this is a special channel, it is a breath of fresh air as there is so much junk out there so thank you for making a top class channel for your members.
Well said. I think the same.
Thank you 👍
Couldn't agree more, sterling chaps
Don't never change guys x
@@sruk are you from medway.
For anyone who wants to learn more about CAN Bus, electronic diagnosis, etc. the Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics UA-cam channel is one to follow. The guy there really knows his stuff.
When will you hire an apprentice???
Think it would be comedy gold...Chris is a fountain of knowledge
Rob reading out the fault code sounds like the pools draw!! Newcastle 1 - QPR 2... Airbags 19 - Power Steering 4
Chris and Rob we call the leftover bolts bush bolts. Find extra bolts...throw um in the bushes.
lolo you silly bugger lolo or weight savers
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Absolutely. The sheer number of unnecessary nuts and bolts on cars is mind boggling. Better to get rid of them. Same for those pesky plastic trim clips. Just pry them out, and bin them... 🤣
@@thefreedomguyuk 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 iv got a big hammer
I always thought they were called spares 🤪
Well guys I had an airbag in the 70's in my Ford Cortina, but I never married her...Cheers from Oz, lots of projects here Rob!
Dashboard in a thousand bits "It's all simple enough" amazing!
The little sensor on the dash is the sunlight sensor for the lights mate , nice job on the polo , the Mrs has one , pretty good cars 👌
A little role reversal, Rob in the car working and Chris ending the video, 🤣😂🤣 Have a wonderful weekend guys.
Realise why cars get written off with very little damage, Rob’s a trim clip master,
The old man with the grease gun at Volkswagen. That cracked me up🤣😂
Another fantastic video again chaps. Still surprises me how manufacturers have to integrate the airbag into the dash so you have to replace the whole lot rather than have a separate airbag you can just replace. You've made some serious progress on this so it can't be far away from being done now 🙂👍🏻
That small thing on the dashboard is a sun radiation sensor. If you have lots of sun radiation like in the summer you need colder air to have a similar temperature sensation in the car, when it’s cloudy you don’t need that much cold air. The HVAC system uses this sensor together with other to decide how cold or warm should the air be that enters the cabin so the people feel comfortable.
had a polo 8 years ago and they are great little cars -- hope they don't mess with the dash on the new ones and ruin it like they did on the Golf Mk VIII
sunload sensor in the middle of the dash rob, basically it turns the AC up if the sun starts to shine
when running an AC diag, they all come up as faulty, because you are in the garage, [no sun]
4:30you definitely don't want to get confused + put it in the wrong hole, but taking pictures is risky
7:25, come on, fess up, what wire did you leave on, in the OS of dash... keep up the excellent work chaps
Wait till you've got the front end built up then try the airbag codes again, I'm sure theres a sensor for the airbags somewhere on the bumper, any vw I take a bumper off of it throws an airbag fault, you'll also get and faults withe radar being unplugged as well 🙂
Total turnaround, you've worked a great deal on this one behind the scenes.
11:14 That sensor on the dash is a light sensor for the auto headlights. Great video.
I thought they were sunlight sensors, to do with the aircon system.
It’s not bud 👍
About time rob did some work and Chris got to sit down
Rob’s always working.
Really coming along nicely. They seat repair is amazing, you'd never know it was blown. I enjoy seeing the dash replacement. I've only ever replaced two dashboards, and that was enough for me! 🤣
The channel is really metamorphosing into a life diary of you two guys, which gives it an extra dimension. It is very enjoyable to watch, and looking at the comments your following is enjoying it as much as I do. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait for the Évoque engine strip down 👍😎
Well done Rob, getting all the air bags & dash back in & making it look easy,i hope Chris won his bid on the 3 wheeler? or car? at the classic auction,have a great wkend.
Hi Granty,
It's the Texa diagnostics.
Thanks for getting in touch.
Rob, the dashboard master making it look easy. It’s actually quite tricky and requires skill and patience.
Respect for being totally transparent and showing how professionals do the job right.
So many out there selling cars with faults but thinking it's fine to give them a wash and then sell them on for a silly profit and then wonder why they have Arthur Daley rep and so many complaints/ claims on warranties , these guys aren't dealers they're valetes with a lockup 🤣
Without a doubt I'd have no issue or worries buying one of your motors seeing the attention to detail and enthusiasm that goes into your rebuilds 👍
Happy days. Beats watching daytime tele. 😂 👌✌️👍🇬🇧
this is a first, Chris with his feet up and Rob working like a dash demon
Lovely old job.....you done good there Rob
When one of the guys in our workshop was doing a big repair with many bolts we used to chuck an extra bolt or two in the pile - it was so funny watching him trying to find where they went 😂
Cracking Job on the Polo Rob you been right through the car getting all the various jobs done on the car. You’ve stripped out the Airbag kit and fitted the brand new airbag and you’ve put all back together. Amazing work Rob you really got involved. While Chris was sitting down putting his legs up. Chris is a very hardworking person and so are you Rob always getting involved like you always do. Have a lovely weekend lads.
Like your thoroughness, no manufacturer puts a single anything in without there being good reason! Have a good weekend both!
That scanner really is the business. Looking forward to seeing it clear all the codes and the test drive.
I can't wait to see Chris's purchace/s because they're guaranteed to be random and very interesting, hope you won the other two on your watch list 👍
What a lot of work with that dash ! Good advice with "do it all in a day". Have a great weekend guys.
Not everyday we see Chris sat down lol 😆
Interesting. Complex with the fault readouts.
Getting there. Paint next. Let's see this car with a beautiful finish
That centre dash sensor is probably a sunlight sensor for the HVAC
Great job rob getting the dash out.👍👍👍
You are right about the tickets on the dashboard, I carry a clothes peg to use because I found they slipped down behind the dash.
This was a busy video; you sorted many key issues, but I had a feeling of pressure from those still outstanding. The car now looks the right shape, with paint, once the remaining items are put, clipped, screwed and bolted in place, it will be a nice car to sell on, hopefully clearing a profit along the way. Have a great weekend, so you can be ready for next week's challenges.
It would be interesting to see a simple thing like getting the radio out or simply popping a vent out
Have a good weekend you two👌👌
On them scan toold you can do a erase code.
And it clears all codes saves lots of time.
And the codes that actually need checking repop up
Rob's comment about the grease on at least one of the cables proper tickled me 😂
Hello Rob and Chris, car coming on well. Looking forward to the end result. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video.
What a jigsaw!! Well done, you have much more patience than I do but experience is a big help. Well done guys, have a good weekend between the raindrops!
NO rain here in Tenerife Rob enjoying you miles away
Wish I was with you!
What a couple of lovely blokes!
It’s incredibly wasteful of the manufacturers that a passenger airbag replacement necessitates a whole new dashboard. Great video lads.
The brand's being "green"... The only green they like is 💸💸
Lovely job Rob, done as it should be 👍🏻
Another great video of Rob and Chris if you can't clear the air bag faulty use vcds great software and lead also enables features ie digital speedo and needle sweep hope this helps you keep up the great work can't wait for the next video
Great video as usual gents! Here in Canada I don't think we can buy any airbags or airbag kits for liability reasons. The only place to get them is the dealer and I doubt they would sell them unless they install them. I don't think auto recyclers are allowed to sell them either. In a lot of cases, unless the airbags have a panel that pops out, the car is written off if the airbags go off, even if the impact damage is relatively minor. It's great that you have access to so many second hand parts that would be unobtanium here! Have a great weekend!
It's legal to sell recycled airbags in Ontario. There's nothing wrong with rebuilding and reusing one of the safety devices in this province, either, even after it's been in an accident. And there are no industry-wide standards for tracking airbags once they've been removed from one car and plopped into another.
@@nofiltersenzafiltro9596 Interesting. I guess the rules might be different here in BC. Not 100% sure tho so good to know that it's legal in Ontario in case I ever need one. I wonder if they can be shipped by air?
Justine Turdy got to keep you Canadians treated like naughty kids.
You guys do crack on with these cars. A dash job looks difficult for those of us who have not done one before.
Im pretty sure there's a special function on your diagnostic tool to clear crash data. Hence the airbag light giving you trouble to clear.
Have a great weekend Rob and Chris 👍🏻🏴
Well done both a brilliant repair on the Polo as ever it’s going to be a great car for someone. Rob good explanation of how the airbags and dash were repaired it’s interesting how things go together
Remember on VAG cars the front assist will need calibration after the accident for it to work properly
Great video, have a good weekend chaps❤
I love to see Chris smile, great ending.
Nice job on the VW dash .We had to remove the dashboard on my e39 and yes it’s it pita but after repairs it was squeaking and creaking for some reason . We had no fasteners left over so it was quite frustrating. Quite annoying to drive.
That look and awkward smile on the face of Chris ending the video is like me when i find myself stuck standing in for family photos 🤣👍
The re-stitch job on the seat was exceptionally well done, and I've no doubt the re-trimmer knows his stuff but I am curious as to know whether he uses a special thread/yarn for repairing the seat, as of course in the event of another accident that thread would have to yield correctly so the seat air bag would deploy in the intended manner and provide the right protection.. great vids thanks
All done using the correct cotton 👍
Can't beat a game of Polo and looks like you guys won!!! Have a great weekend.
Hello guys, great work the dashboard on the Polo it looked complicated to take out,the bodywork is nicely prepped and ready to go to paint.
Well another step closer to the paint shop. That was a lot of work doing the dashboard and no you don't want any bolts or screws left over. Very interesting video Rob and Chris, hope you have a great weekend. :)
good bread and butter vid! thanks guys.
Another great one gentlemen.. Great to see Chris sitting down for a change ..🤣 you've got a great system Robs the master of interior, Chris the master of exterior.. Have a great weekend looking forward to Mondays video already..😊
Hi Rob, do you have to return the old dashboard to the airbag team. Like used starter motors.
Use the air compressor to get the parking tickets out 😂
Another cracking video guys nice to see people care about their standards of work.
Another cracking job well done , Chris has done a fantastic job with that seat
Another quality episode fellas , have a goodun, John from sunny rainham
It's certainly coming together Rob the master of dashboards & airbag kits looking forward to seeing after it's been to the paint shop & the finishing touches put together as usual fantastic content Rob and Chris 👍👍👍👍
Rob and Chris I love the way you work together how you 🙌 remember where everything goes every where 🤔 is still a mystery to me. My head 😫 is spinning just looking at it great workmanship again fellas you make it look easy looking forward to the end result 👍 and the next video 📹. There would be a hell of nuts and bolts spare if I was involved. Take it easy stay healthy and lucky have a good weekend see you Monday 😊.
Have a good weekend guys
See you updated bugatti, you got a surprise for us 😉
Rob and Chris both of you have a good weekend looking forward to seeing the next one
Glad to see you’ve updated your code reader for the latest Bugatti updates. That’ll be handy 😂
Thanks for another great video Rob and Chris, I hate doing those dashboard jobs. Have you ever done one where you've done it properly and when you drive the car afterwards there's an annoying squeak or rattle that you can't place? Keep up the good work fella's 🙂
wow that's alot of work changing the dash air bag keep up the good work.
That VW is coming together nicely. Just watch out Rob. Chris might get you back for the lose change game with a few spare bolts on the next airbag replace.....
Chris you got the same atco lightweight two stroke lawn mower with kick start. I got mine off eBay a few years ago well 2013.
Its sat out in the garden and locked up I need to free it all off get it inside. I bought a paddling pool and put the mower outside.
Coming together nicely, well done. I don't know where you get the patience Rob with changing the dashes. If it was me, there would be definitely screws left over 😁 and the dash would be in bits.
Compulsive viewing Rob & Chris.
No wonder these insurance companies write car's off so easily the amount of work required to repair.
You guys go about it so professionally if I bumped into you in McDonald's I'd pay and supersize it 👏
Nice little car like new when you’re finished. Have a good weekend
A bit late today as I went for a hair cut, couldn't decide whether to get a Rob or a Chris! cracking video lads
Great video ,you’re a master at those airbag changes rob you make it look easy good job 👍
Well done again you two, am not a Vw fan but that looks a nice little motor.....👍👍
Always seems such a waste to me having to remove the whole dash just to replace a passenger airbag, but guess there must be a reason they are built that way?....Or its so it just becomes too daunting a job for the mere mortals amongst us!...😄😄
Rob the dashboard man we'll done mate
Great job guys look forward to seeing what Chris has brought at the auction wonder if he brought the Kubota or the 3 wheeler truck
Amazing! 👏👍
Cheers fellas 🧇
Have a good weekend 🦭
All those fault codes look daunting but to you lads it's just a bit more work.
Anything's easy when you know what you're doing 👍
Love it, Chris sitting by the bench feet up looking at his bids while you Rob actually do some collar,loved it. I know your a bit of a North and souther Rob but just let me tell you there is a difference between THINK & FINK bless you both keep up the good work...
You worry about how you speak bud I’ll do the same 👍
The sensor on the dash is for the aircon Rob.
Top work and that’s one step closer to being finished. Cheers for the video take care
Hope you hard-working lads have a nice weekend
Great job. And that McDonalds chip is still as fresh as new....
Another great video guys.....where's the classic RR ?
Hi guys,loving the relaxed Chris in the chair while you do all the work rob 🤣🤣seriously you 2 are just amazing and are the kind of guys that people would love to have as friends or family,great job on the polo and you both make everything look easy,I see on Chris Instagram he's won a couple of vehicles so look forward to seeing them,have a great weekend 🤙👌👍
