My buddy there needs that milwaukee ratchet and tools fast pace cuts the time in half...great video this man is great...too bad for people and there comments this is not a tv series where you have 20 people for light resources.....milwaukee this guy needs these tools....he helps me every week with day to day motivation and tutorials
Thank you for the kind words! Send me your mailing address and I'll send you some of my channel stickers... if you want some! fkh161@fkh161.ca
I do agree, I'd rather see the tools in actual use in the hands of a pro then watch reviewers regurgitate the notes on the box while demonstrating the tools light and comfy grip texture. All the while giving it praise in order to ease their guilt over keeping it! Quick and efficient work on that belt sir! Thanks!
Review "are" ok for initial "should I buy"... if someone is interested in a certain product, but to actually see something being used in a real work scenario, I think that would speak more than a review video. We shall see if someone gets the hint! If they send duplicate products... it would make nice giveaways! OK... now I'm dreaming (about getting duplicates)! LOL
Thankyou for the excellent videos because my daughters 1999 beetle is needing a water pump change. It would be a lawn ornament without your straight forward approach that makes my job easier! Also you helped me with a rack and pinion change that for someone who's never done one was able to complete the job in a hour because of your excellent video! Thankyou!
Nice to hear... thank you for watching!
well i guess that's why you're the pro...what you did in a 22 min vid took me several hours. thx for all the great tips...i'll use them in about 60000 miles!
Editing cuts some time! =)
Thank you for watching! Looking forward to your update / possible video in 60000! =)
Thanks for the instructions. Took me 11 hours to do this job but also had to replace the camshaft seal and position sensor. Needed a friend to help me get the new timing belt on. Had to do it 3 times as the first two attempts ended with the belt one or two teeth off of top dead center. Kept moving. Also - the raised edge on the back of the tensioner goes into that freeze plug hole. Took me several attempts to figure that one out. Think I can now do the job again in 6 hours but hope not needed for at least 7 years.
Thank you for watching!
I don’t know how I missed your channel before ( I don’t work on European cars ) but now that I watched a couple of your videos I’m gonna subscribe and binge watch. Also I just got a deal on a Jetta mk4 so I plan on doing all these repairs, thanks for your time making videos
JJ. Gears Thank you for watching! My old stuff isn't that great, but I reply to all comments and I can provide info when need be. Feel free to ask questions and I'll reply as soon and as best I can!
Excellent as always. I guess if I did not know what I was looking at I would get motion sick, but because I have an understanding of where you are I am fine. Your vides add to the ever-expanding knowledge base on UA-cam(tm) of correct shop/DIY VW and Audi repair. and for that I tip my hat to you sir and say thank you.
TDI Love from Chicago...
Thank you and thank you for watching!
I didn't know you post VW stuff... just subscribed! =)
I could not own my 5 or even 1 diesel VDubs it were not for the kind and knowledgeable folks on UA-cam(tm). I am not joking. The first time I went to the VW dealer the head tech came out in a sparkling white jumpsuit, before informing me that 4 new glow plugs for our 2003 Golf GTI would be $680 US in 2009. Outragus! The straw that broke me was when a defective clutch disc disintegrated, because of faulty rivet slides and the dealer refused to honor our extended warranty. That is when I bought some new tools because I knew a new clutch did not cost $1,800 US. At the time newly designed disc only cost $89 US. So, I paid myself $1,711, canceled my extended warranty and fell in love with how well build these car are.
As it turns out around 2006 VW ran into some serious financial problems and almost went out of business and to stay afloat the service departments adopted Audi and Porsche's service pricing and techniques (all modern super clean service areas $$$). I guess I should thank that white jumpsuited man because I have been into almost every part of my older diesels and have no fear tearing them down to put them back together again. I did a video after having my water pump go and rip the little TDI's timing belt (I rebuilt the head and that TDI is still on the road today). I recently rebuilt a 11mm ALH diesel injection pump and wow! it is an impressive device. Mostly metal construction that if you disassemble, clean and polish will make it run like new again (18 years later). I try to give back to the community that has save my $$$ and posibly my wife life. She was T-boned by a guy running a light from the passenger side by a Toyota doing 35+MPH (no skid marks) 3 years ago. The 2000 Golf looked as though nothing had happened to the interior, but outside you could see the guy hit and pushed the VW three time. Any other car and who knows. That Golf too is still on the road today. Strong, Safe, Economical, and (if you work on them yourself) affordable.
Thanks again for all your help. I feel like you're a family friend because of all the one-sided question and answer videos you help me with. I ask a question to the screen and you show me the answer step-by-step.
TDI Love from Chicago...
Nice to hear that you took control and are able to maintain & repair what is needed! You have more experience with injection pumps than I do! I have never taken one apart! Good to hear that your wife was left un-injured! People give up too quickly on a car once a problem surfaces... quickly labeling it as a lemon. Any car 6 years or older will start to have issues due to age... but when looked after & maintained, cars can / will last a long time. I have two 26+ year old vehicles that run & look great!
Thanks again for watching! I try my best in answering questions as best I can or supply factory service information when I have it. If more people thought about what I post & watched the whole thing, rather than complain about camera movement, lighting, lack of commentary etc.... they would understand that I'm actually being quite helpful (over / compared to many other youtube channels) at no cost to them.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you & yours!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you & yours!
Great Video Thomas! If you remove the coolant and steering fluit reservoir it makes your live so much easier!
But no fun... not having to play with them. =(
Honstly man I use the husky electric rachet and it’s only 32lbs about 20 down from the top 3/8ths Milwaukee but it’s less than half the cost and really any of them you need to break the bolt free anyways which I do with my Husky,! Other thing I’ve used it almost everyday for something since I’ve had it about 6months and I’ve had to charge it twice. Super impressed and stoked with it plus the pitch of the air rachet is basically the worst for your hearing out of most air tools! I haven’t had to drag a hose out other than tires and that’s awesome! Just a thought your vids are my go to for vw!
Thank you for the Husky info and thank you for watching! Send me your mailing address and I'll send you some of my channel stickers. Click fkh161 link in the description and then click on "Tool request" to send me the address.
Another great video and display of your excellent mechanical skills! Thank you Thomas!
Thanks... but I'm just taking stuff apart. =)
I've "turned wrenches" for many years as a GM certified tech and in later years was a Service director for a GM dealer and then an Indie shop owner with both mechanical and body shops. I know a great tech when I see one and am glad to give you kudos for your professionalism and skills. You have a very logical approach, are very organized, pay attention to details and use the proper tools as needed. Pointing out the advantages to servicing items such as the camshaft positioning sensor while accessible is good advice as well and I'm sure your customers appreciate your though approach to caring for their cars. Again, you are one of the BEST! (PS: "The Screamer" is hilarious and cute too!)
Thanks again... It's the "doubting Thomas" in me that holds me back. Yes, she's a keeper that one! =)
Never doubt yourself, Thomas. Most of us never doubt you. Now, when you're an old fart like me then you begin to have some doubt.
Looking for a Christmas gift perhaps? That was awesome. Great idea marking your wheel lock sockets. Eric really like the Harbor Freight "Earthquake" 3/8 and 1/2 drive cordless units. Pneumatic were all the rage in the 2000's, now were all after cordless stuff. How things change. Hey, your remembered "fertig". sehr gut, Thomas. Sie sind ein Meister der Deutschen Autos
Trying my luck on getting some free cordless tools... seems they are good for reviews, but I wouldn't mind using them daily to see if it's true what is "reviewed" about them! Ich bin noch ein Lehrling!
It never hurts to ask. Leon seems to be doing well getting free stuff. Good for him though, it's great.
Ya dude, glasses are great with the lighting you have up top 👍
Thank you!
Man your good it shows that you have been doing this for a while 🖒
I have a lot of bad habits... need to work on those still. =(
From my point of view your doing a good job with a lot more patience than I have
Thanks... I'm not on flat rate, so I don't have the need to hunt for money / time. I speed things up when I have to of course.
Some are ALWAYS gonna be negative .... THANKS for sharing you knowledge!!!
+G Nubians Thank you for watching!
Wish I had found this sooner, I'm 8 hours into mine but seeing the next few steps will help this fly the rest of the way. Except for the bolts holding the lower shield for me are T30 torx screws that are too deep to get a bit into, so thatll slow me down still.
Yeah, not sure why they switched to torx. Thanks for watching!
Hi Thomas 03 jetta 2.0 I'm wanting to checkout the timing belt to see if its on its way out. Not sure when it was last changed. Anything particular that I should look for?
Belts can look good (smooth flat surface) but the teeth can let loose... if you don't know how old it is, replace the timing belt, tensioner & water pump. It is cheaper to replace those items, than having to pull the cylinder head to replace bent valves.
@@EXOVCDS thanks man I'm gna go ahead and do it. Just need to watch your timing belt video 20 or 30 more times so I can make sure I get it right. All the best from California
I noticed in this and another of your videos that you drain the coolant at the oil cooler hose instead of the actual stop cock drain port. Is there a reason you prefer to drain from the oil cooler hose?
The stop cock at the radiator? That only drains the radiator... not the engine. Draining at the oil cooler doesn't "fully" drain the engine block... but it drains most, whereas at the radiator, only the radiator gets drained (unless the thermostat is fully open, but then you have hot coolant to deal with).
Thomas EXOVCDS
Thanks much for the reply, that makes sense.
Love the Milwaukee hints....lmao...thanx for another great vid
I hope they don't get offended! Thank you for watching!
I'm curious as to why you drained coolant from the oil cooler? I have to do this job and planned on draining the spigot on the radiator. Just personal preference?
+wizbang16 Radiator doesn't drain the block.
Thomas EXOVCDS Thank you!
"everything shrinks when it gets old" You missed a "that's what she said" there. ;-)
Yeah... I thought about adding that! =)
ua-cam.com/video/nRCTc6stICc/v-deo.html #milwaukee #idareyou
LOL... great clip!
I've never really had an issue with the lighting or video quality on your videos. If people don't like it and complain, tell them they can have their money back. Very subtle hints there with the Milwaukee images... You're absolutely correct though, not just Milwaukee... all these tools companies send free tools to reviewers but rarely to the people who actually use them day after day. You'd think that would better showcase their product. I'd trust a persons opinion that actually uses the tools versus a guy who does real tool reviews... not naming any names... (
Thank you for your input about the glasses! I like your hint as well! LOL
Send me your mailing address and I'll send you some of my channel stickers! If you want some.

Thanks. I'll send you an email with my addy.
Oh man. I just got a flashback with that bracket you just took off. I did a timing belt on a turbo beetle. It kicked my butt. Should of used that upper engine support.
I tackle those brackets from underneath... my coworker removes them from the top. He can install the bracket with the belt installed & tightened. I can not. I position the bracket with a loose belt and then place & tighten the belt.
I left the bracket stuck in the engine bay and worked around it after wrestling it for 45 minutes haha. I agree the proper engine support might make it easier.
@@craigd4375 I totally agree. I supported the engine from the bottom, as I didn't have the upper support. That bracket kicked my butt as well. I got so tired of hearing that bracket clinking on everything it struck..which was a lot. The water pump had me scared to death. I thought the o ring rolled out of position as I forced it in. I was on pins and needles waiting to find a leak. I got lucky and all was well.I'm now within about a year of having to do it again....has to be easier.
@@EXOVCDS this is where I got stuck too.... I spent like 3 hours trying to get the sucker out but it just kept getting wedged in there. I was following another video where the guy pulls it out from the top and did not loosen the belt, I ended up putting it all back together and giving up but now that I've done more investigating and found this video/method I'm going to try it again tomorrow morning.
@@anthonyhoward7739 18:02 the bracket "does" come out quite easy when the belt & tensioner are loose. I install it the same way (belt & tensioner loose... feed bracket up and then I tighten the belt while the bracket is still loose (so that I can get at the tensioner). Whatever works... yes, my method is different from the norm. Just make sure to turn the crankshaft 2 turns after things are tight, to double check all the TDC marks and the alignment marks on the tensioner.
Cool German Bruce Lee karate dude. There's something about that screaming girls mouth. Can't figure it out yet. Lol
I pulled a muscle the first time I tried that kick! D'oh!
Great job as usual. U need the ratchet more than the impact. But come on Milwaukee. This guy has 30,000 subs and rising. Super cheap marketing’s!!
That's what I'm thinking... but they like review videos more. =(
How can people complain on your videos. Not cool! Than you for making them. I dont have a A4, just nice to watch an learn :D
Thank you! If you would like some of my channel stickers... send me a message with your mailing address and I'll send some to you.
I see what you did there with the power tools 😂👍
What... me? Do what? When? To whom? For what?
Great video Thomas and hopefully Milwaukee was listening to you about them sending you some of their tools :)
I might have pushed a bit too much. =(
Perhaps you can turn up the volume on the power tools, I don't yet have a perminate ringing in my left ear. Another option is for you to whispering at a lower frequency, so I have to turn up the volume, which will cause my speakers will rupture when you use your power tools.
Make sure you don't use a "limiter/Modulator" plugin when editing. It would automatically boost the low volume and reduce the extremely loud sounds. This would result in joy while watching your video.
What I am happy about is that you have experience performing the task you are making the tutorial about. UA-cam's standard procedure is to have no experience performing a task that you are making a tutorial on.
I'm just a grease monkey... me not know how to use electronic much. I no make tutorial video. I record while I work. I work to make money. So that I can live and buy more tools. I answer lots of questions daily. Sorry if my video standards are not up to your comfort level. Ask questions if you have car problems... asking questions might help you more than leaving smart ass comments.
Milwaukee don't need to send you anything you've mentioned them more times and showing their pictures than any of the guys they've sent all the products to😁😁😁😁
I love it " hint hint " great vid !!
We shall see... or not.
Hi thomas,sorry to bother you,just ask a question...i changed my timing belt audi tt 225...but i got 17978 fault which is central module locked,the car wont start,after trying many times the car start but die after few minutes,check the belt mark is okey...thanks Sir thomas for your time
Immobilizer is not recognizing the key. Have you got a second key to try? Key in the ignition in the ON position... lock & unlock the driver door with the key, see if that helps. Disconnect both battery cables and touch the battery clamps together, that can sometimes also help / work. Otherwise you need a scan tool to match the keys to the car.
Thanks Thomas,really appreciated,try to that tomorrow
Lock & unlock the door with the second key while the first key is in the ignition... sorry, that wasn't explained correctly (if the second key also does not work in the ignition).
@@EXOVCDS thanks a lot Thomas
So, it is not easy job to change water pump. My Jetta 2012 2.0 today started to screaming a little. I need to figureout, do it myself or find someone. BTW, did you get milwaukee? :)
This video should be your engine:ua-cam.com/video/Yw3tuwDpZBE/v-deo.html
Very similar to the above A4/mk4 engine. It is an easy job... after you have done a few. Just take your time. If you don't have all the tools or safe place to do the repair, then it will be quicker & cheaper if you have someone do the repair.
Your videos are good and well explain helps me to work on my mk3 thanks for the videos.
Thank you for watching!
Everything shrinks when it gets old, isn't that the truth. MWT are now made in China, they don't want your actual test and use of the product.
Thanks for the video, yes you move around but your are actually working and doing us all a favor. Great job.
Thanks for watching! Would still be nice to get free stuff to use / showcase. =)
Hi Thomas - found the video quality (lighting) and guide to be of a high standard and educational as always.
Must just be me, but I find releasing that engine side of the mounting bracket considerably more awkward than you made it look.
On the tooling side, may be Milwaukee are only hobbyist tools and you would expose that, so they use reviewers to prevent negative exposer in terms of "fit for purpose"!
Thank you for your input on the video quality!
That bracket doesn't always come out as easy as that one did... so it's not just you! =)
Milwaukee has been in the construction / tool business for a while. I'm sure that their Automotive tools will stand-up to the task... but it would be nice to be able to show viewers (over time) how they DO hold up... rather than just post a review video like everyone else.
Great video Thomas I have abs 20 and my air intake is on the right 2001 Cabrio is there difference love your videos very informative thank you maybe I find video of your like that thanks again videos
Let me know what you are looking for.
Really appreciate the detail on explaining this. Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching!
Uh oh. Is someone asking for milwaukee tools??? haha
Proof of concept... this "could have been" a great video to demonstrate their product. With continued demonstration in future videos. We will see if they bite. =)
Can you explain to me how you know where to mark the tooth on the camshaft? It seems like your arbitrarily selected a tooth. I am not quite understanding that process, which is probably the most crucial part.
The service manual shows a "TDC Mark" that is on the camshaft gear (between 2 teeth)... have a closer look. It is not a good idea to work on a vehicle without a service manual.
At 12:02 you can see me mark the "TDC mark" with a white marker... look for it and you will see it.
Any luck? Send me pictures and I'll mark the gear for you... if you make a mistake with the belt installation, you could end up with bent valves, so be careful.
Ok will do and I can find tdc without taking everything apart again correct? And I'll start with them 2 things take pictures and let u know? And jw how long and where do u do your work out of I find a lot of your videos very helpful and u do a great job
What's the ripems on that new milwaukee ratchet? Must be over 40. If I tried doing that karate kick I would have pulled a hammy. lol
Not sure... hoping to find out one of these days. yeah... I pulled a muscle the first time I kicked a tire! LOL
Is there a factory timing mark on the crank pulley (the toothed crank pulley for TB, not the serp one that gets removed). If not, where should the transmission mark be? Bottom or middle of peephole.
Finally, if TB jumped 1 tooth would it throw a crank/cam code, or cause significant symptoms? Thanks Thomas!
Hey Thomas, wasn't removing it! YT was auto deleting it for using the abbreviation of "transmission". Very odd. It's here now!
Thanks, sorry.
When the cam pulley is at TDC... the TDC mark at the transmission should be visible and at the correct location (marks aligned) as long as the timing belt did not jump or the belt was installed incorrectly last time.
The crank pulley has a little notch that is at the 12 o'clock position when the crank is at TDC. First, turn the crankshaft until the camshaft gear TDC mark is pointing at the mark on the valve cover. Then look for the TDC mark at the crank pulley or at the flywheel. Send me pictures of the cam gear, the crank gear and the transmission TDC inspection hole, so that I can see what things look like. Click on the fkh161 link in the description and then click on "tool request" to send me the pictures.
1 tooth off should turn the check engine light on, yes.
@@EXOVCDS Thanks so much. I'll try to get pic in next few weeks but I think I'm ok based on your response.
I did the belt, but left all covers off to wash engine to ensure new waterpump not leaking. I got misfires after the wash (with CEL) which went away after 30mins. No cam/crank codes, misfire only. I think this was from the infamous aging coil issue, not the coincidental belt change.
What confused me is my crank SERP pulley mark is off, but I removed it during install, so doesn't necessarily mean my timing is off.
I marked the crank TIMING pulley (toothed one), like a bozo on the inside of the tooth, so my mark wore off from the belt. I understand my mistakes for next time now.
Power curve seems weird at rare times, but based on your response and the car function I think it's ok. Thanks for your expertise Thomas!
Misfires after engine washing means that there are some "weak/ compromised / old age" ignition components. If spark plug wires & coil are more than 8 years old, it's a good time to start planning for new parts.
Serpentine belt (belt for Alternator, AC & power steering) has no bearing on engine timing. You can run the engine with the serpentine belt off. Marking the timing belt with a marker & matching marks on the timing gears is OK for initial installation, but the marks on the belt will not line up after the engine / crankshaft is rotated 2 turns (to recheck TDC alignment). This is due to the length of the belt / number of teeth... the marks will line up again with the marks on the gears, but it will take several more rotations. This can be confusing for people and that's why I don't recommend marking the timing belt / relying on other marks, aside from the factory TDC marks.
Have you done one on the water pumps on the newer common rail diesel engine. They have a sieve over the impeller that is operated on and off by a soilnoid to stop water circulation and speed up warming up of engine. They stick closed and engine overheat quickly. Timing of engine locking is still pinned but has centre bolt on a taper on cam and fuel pump.
Chris Hurst Interesting. I have not seen that yet.
Thomas EXOVCDS I can send you a photo of the new and old pumps together to show you the difference. Known problem here in on Audi VW platforms
Sure, thanks!
Got a email address I can send it to. Also I will send you a print off from autodata on how to do the job so you can compare to the TDI you normally do to your PO box
Thanks! fkh161@fkh161.ca
Great video! Where did you end up purchasing your support bar for the engine?
This one is / was shop supplied. I bought my own from a Canadian "Harbour Freight" equivalent store. You can also support the engine from underneath as an alternative.
@@EXOVCDS thank you for the information! I’ll look into it more but mostly just have to support it from underneath.
good job Thomas
Thank you!
Nice video man
Thank you for watching!
Great video!! Are all four bolts for the motor mount stretch bolts?
16mm head yes, 18mm head no... as per service manual info. Working without a service manual? Link in the description to where you can download all you need & more for only $35 USD
Cool!!!
Thomas were you in a bad mood when you made this video? lol
It was building up inside and needed to get out. =)
I think you do well do to do that Cambelt without taking off so much stuff good video
+Brendan Brady fan Thank you.
It appears that you have done one or two of those.
Yes, a couple at least. =)
How do you keep from losing the screws? It seems you always just throw them on top of the engine or cowl.
As long as no one moves the engine or cowl... they should still be there when I need them.
@@EXOVCDS As long as they do not move you are right.
I just wanted to know I have a 1.8t jetta gl with a 0340 code if I'm not mistaken. Circet malfunction bank A. Where would I start to fix this issue? Thanks
Any recent work that was done? Timing belt comes to mind. Does the engine run?
wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/16724/P0340
You can check your "camshaft position sensor" with a voltmeter to see if it is producing a signal. Here is a video on how to check it on a 2.0L (1.8T will be the same / similar, the sensor is in a different location but also close to the timing belt cover):
ua-cam.com/video/A6XV5x0504c/v-deo.html
Yea I bought the car from a friend with a timing belt that had broke so you already know that the valves got bent so I bought a new head and installed it got it all together and got that code. Car runs but has a slit spit or puff that u can hear. I replaced all plugs crank sensor cam sensor water pump timing belt I mean everything. Now I'm at a dead end other the replacing the wiring harness or following wired to see if ones broken. I also ordered a new pcv valve and elbow bc I have some blow back threw the valve cover and from what I found it can be bc of a bad pcv system. Anything u can recommend will help a lot
Start with making sure that the TDC marks are 100% when at #1 TDC, send me pictures of cam & crank (flywheel) marks so I can see. fkh161@fkh161.ca If they are OK, check the cam sensor for a signal, like in the video I linked. Tell me what you find.
So I checked the wires I signal to the sensor. I bought a new cam shaft position sensor installed it. Still get the light so my new thing is to look at my timing marks witch I'll upload pictures once I get to it to see if thasts the issue but that's the last thing on thast list so it has to be the issue right??
Branden Seno Don't know... I don't know what voltages you saw during your testing. Power, ground, signal. If the code was set after a timing belt replacement, odds are that the cam / crank timing is out
Things do shrink with age 😂 gravity is a cruel master too.... Are you trying to get some Milwaukee sponsorship??
Who me? LOL
How much too replace the water pump
To do a water pump, the timing belt has to be removed... you might as well do a timing belt service at the same time (including the tensioner and cam / crank seals if the seals are leaking). Depending on where you are (country / state) labor rate will be different from shop to shop. You are better off phoning a local business in "your" area, to get a quote estimate. Estimate means an "initial" idea of cost... as you don't know if the vehicle needs anything else until stuff is taken apart (like the seals). If the belt is not that old, it can be reused... but if it got contaminated by coolant, the life of the belt is compromised. Go to this website and type your postal code in the search field... to find a reputable shop in your area.

For a second I thought I was listening to Eric O with those comments Thomas..Lol
Never had one this tight///Everything shrinks with age..couldn't help but laugh..
Whats the trick installing the belt?Did this twice and both time had issues placing belt into tensioner or over cam sprocket.
how do you go about installing the belt and where do you start first?
Watch this: (should start playing at the tensioner issue)

Thomas EXOVCDS Found it Thanks
Why would you keep putting those pics right in front of everything? We get it, your usung a power tool we can see that already
I was trying to prove a point @Milwaukee. They gave away $$$$ in tools to youtubers for reviewing... and all the "reviewers" did talk about the tools. Had they sent me all the tools, my viewers would have been able to "see" the tools in action. What's the old saying? "Action speaks louder than words". Maybe they are afraid that the tools can't cut it... being used every day!?
Don’t be cheap Milwaukee, just give the tools to this guy, he’s amazing
Thank you very much! Send me your mailing address and I'll send you some of my channel stickers! If you want some. fkh161@fkh161.ca

Thomas, speak with "how to automotive" , he doesn't seem to have any trouble getting Milwaukee products. Flat rate master also gets them as well. I'm sure once Milwaukee Tools see your work ethic, they will send you some goodies!
Yes, I am aware of them receiving products... things might be in the works for me (or at least making them aware of my existence)... we shall see if anything comes out of it. =)
Good to hear! BTW, I think they will appreciate the way you flash on the screen WHEN to use their tool ; like you do with the Milwaukee ratchet images. It's a subliminal technique ( I know it works because it is not allowed in the US on TV commercials!) Enjoy you vids; I have a Audi.
We should all ban Milwaukee until we see one in Thomas videos.
Hey Snap-on this is your chance.
+Stanila Stefan LOL...pigs will fly before snap-on sends out free stuff! Thanks for the support! =)

You deserve it Buddy. Keep up the good work!
Thank you... and thank you for watching!
Did Milwaukee deny you? How dare they!
So far. LOL
I've been waiting for this...
I've posted similar videos in the past... when looking for A4/mk4 videos, search "EXOVCDS VW A4" to find what I have. Thanks for watching!
Big like, from a small Germy. Dont pull muscles! Get a good warm up :-) and find a certified instructor near you. :-)) (sorry, we all have to say that... )
Good advice for any profession... a good warm-up can make the work day easier! =)
It is a silly sports instructor thing we all say... but when the fan is hit, we sometimes dont do it all XD
Come on Milwaukee send me some power tools oh yeah and Thomas as well I suppose😁😁😁😁😁😁
bodgit and leggit garage odds are... you will get some before I do!
Thomas EXOVCDS no mate they won't send any items this far for some reason
