My First Upload! - 1992 Mitsubishi GTO Project Walkthrough
Thanks for the video, very helpful indeed! I have an issue where my heater fan has died, when I pulled the glove box down to get to the fan there was a lot of water, the water has fried the resister… do you think blocked front drains can cause water to end up in the heater fan area? TIA
Thanks! Sounds to me like it could possibly be a leaking heater matrix. I can’t say for definite though, was it coolant or normal water? If it’s coolant, then I’d have a look at the heater matrix and the pipes that go to it👍🏻
is there a lag? or can you connet to carply dircect with USB cable?
Question for your expertise would faulty boost diverter valve put car in limp mode or would faulty oil pick-up pipe cause limp mode which 1 would you attempt FIRST diagnosis machine oil pump pickup pipe
Hi, could you provide a link to the headunit you bought. Looks great. Thanks.
Very good video .. appreciate it, cheers. To save on all that unscrewing and dismantling,etc ..I'm thinking of drilling access holes in the black plastic scuttle panel above the drainage holes .. thick enough to push a length of wire through to clear the drainage holes and a thin piece of hose to blast water through ( I do that with my rear spoiler crainage holes).. then fix rubber sealing grommets in the drilled holes. Anyone done this, anyone thinks it's a bad idea? PS, when those two drainage holes are blocked..how / where does the water get in to the inside of the car? Thanks
Just got myself one, £800. Waiting to see what faults come up lol
I would also add that the thermostat will fail at some point, so check that the engine reaches amd stays at 90c.
Yep this just happened to mine. It's not too bad but has started dipping between 90 and about 75
@@dh1380 all the garages my way wanted £500 to replace it
Hi I've got an audi TT and one of the big problems I'm having is the car is hunting. I took it to a garage they fitted new spark plugs (old ones apparently were corroded) that hasn't fixed the hunting. They reckon its most likely an air or fuel fuelt or possibly a vaccum leak. I've had the car for 4 years it had 70k miles when I bought it now its 115k miles on it. I'm not entirely sure this is the problem or not do you know if this is probably the reason it is hunting? The garage I went to was an audi garage and they are charging me a lot to get that sorted as well as other problems they say the car has like the front brake pads that I bought for the audi TT I fitted on are the wrong ones even though they are the same size as the original ones. The brakes seem to work just fine I'm not seeing any problems with its braking even though the garage has said about the brake pads being the wrong ones as well as the calipers seizing, discs overheating. Its got an MOT coming up in October I'm not sure if its going to pass with these problems about the car.
LOOK forward to hearing from you
Also have you experience limp mode I changed flushed out my DPF SENSOR BUT oil pump saying issue would that need filter change I hope???
Iike this will be doing mine asap lol
I was changing my discs and pads today and noticed the stop bumps are more or less goosed, they've perished quite bad and the plastic cover has even dropped down, will the whole rear shock need to come out do you think just to change the foam bump stop? Nice one 👍
very informative. Anyone know the right can bus rev for the steering wheel controls? Also I have a harness that has two sets of audio inputs, for front and rear, that go to the oem harness but the head unit only has one set LR out, I ended up just getting a pair of 2 to 1 rca adapters. I also have a 23 pin amp connector that was pulled from the old unit but the android harness didnt have it, I still had sound so not sure if I need to try and get this hooked up?
Hi Dave, Great video & great content...I've recently purchased a Mk2 Audi TT which has the same aftermarket head unit you fitted in the video...I need to remove the headunit to wire in a reverse camera...Could you advise the best/easiest way to remove...Appreciate any help you can offer...Thanks...
Thanks! If it’s the same as mine, then the stereo should just push into place, so removing it would be a case of gently prying the sides of the surround until it comes out. Just be gentle as the tabs that hold in the stereo are quite flimsy.
@@day_dobbie Thanks Dave...I'll give this a try...Fingers crossed...
Please advise what can be the problem if the car is sometimes sluggish and sometimes goes well.
I’d say check all of your vacuum hoses to make sure there are no vacuum leaks. Also, maybe service the car if you haven’t already as you could be due new spark plugs. Maybe ad some injector cleaner too incase the injectors are blocked slightly. I’d also say, look into cleaning your MAF and MAP sensors as they can have an effect too.
Best video I’ve seen for this gonna give it a shot now fingers crossed it’s sound
Got everything out apart from the hose connect to the bottom of the stat I can’t seem to pull it apart it seems to have bonded together, any ideas?
If it’s the hose that has the temp sensor on it, mine was very tight when getting it out. There’s a clip that holds them together so that needs to be pulled out first before you can remove the pipe.
Another solid video, David. We released a Portable car Vacuum. Can we invite you to do a review? We have reached out for an inquiry.
I have the exact same stero not powering on. but I don't have the old decoder in it. any ideas ty.
very, very good, thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😊
Thank you!👍🏻
Hi - I’ve done something very similar in my car. Do you find the audio quality is really poor? Is that an issue with the speakers or do you think caused by the head unit?
My audio quality isn’t that bad in all honesty. It does the job but I’m sure there are definitely better head units out there that’ll provide a better sound! I’m pretty sure a head unit can have just as much of an effect on sound quality as the speakers can.
The newer ea888 engines dont have this problem with cam follower.
Did you ever get it walnut blasted?
I messaged a few companies over it but they never got back to me, so not yet but I’m still planning on it.
Hi, did your bank 1 running lean ever come back or did this fix the problem, and you changed the purge valve, did you change the pcv valve to?
Unfortunately it did… I think I may be because I didn’t fit a genuine purge valve. I also realised afterwards that I was calling it the PCV but that was wrong🙃 I’m looking into PCV deletes and how the effect the engine, so when I’ve done my research, I’ll make a video on it and the pros and cons. I’m also investigating the bank 1 lean fault and when I have a solution, I’ll make a video👍🏻
More TT content pls 😄
Working on it😅
I have fitted a after market radio in my Audi tt and the speakers don’t work the radio powers on all done do you have any guesses on how to fix
I just bought a mk2 tt off my brother in really good condition for £750
I got one off my brother in law last year for only £600. 17 plate and has only covered 28,000 miles. Got it cheap since it needed 2 new front tyres and one on the wipers wasn't very good.
Mine’s been a really fun car to daily, hope you enjoy it!
Hi bro i have Audi A4 with bose system i have the same issue Stereo is turning On but no audio.. im new to all this stuff.. please can you explain me that the blue wire (amplifer wire) you connected to which wire.. I have the amplifier wire but unable to figure out to which wire should i join... Because in my harness there is only one wire vacant that is the white wire and on it its written key 2. Other wise all the wires are connected to each other. Please please help me
It would be nice for a list of the stuff your putting in! Or links or something. For us the diy'ers! Like those NGK spark plugs what model are they?
I’ll dig through my emails, find the receipt for them and update when I find the info👍🏻
Don't use "the channel"! Use "Me"...
Like the the little "Where is Wally!" you put in and didn't even make a mention on it... it's the little things!
Keep up the good work!
The fact that you leave in the "I fkd up" parts just make the videos that much more complete and comprehensive on what not to do!
Thanks!
0I bought the Roinvou version from Amazon. I had to turn the amp on in the factory settings for the blue wire to get power. What I've noticed in my 2008 Audi TT MK2 is I lost loudness in my rear speakers. After investigating there pre-amp RCAs only have fronts hooked up to deck and it it's spliced to the rears to. So there's actually no rear or subwoofer Set of RCAs so u cant use the fader. Also the rear speakers are so low i can't hear them. The factor deck was loud. 🧐 Another complaint the music stops playing when I reverse. Even if I uncheck it in factory settings.
Great video! Would you think it is possible to access the interior surface of the glass? I tried to polish my mk2, but it is still slightly foggy, and I think it is because of the interior.
Thanks! If it’s a yellow fog then it’s more than likely on the outside off of the UV from the sun. Sometimes it can be quite deep! If it’s a clear but looks wet, then you’ll need to dry the headlights out and make sure the seal cap is on, on the back of the headlight.
I had one these had to replace engine u mist the biggest problem of all OIL PUMP
Blows ur engine up need a updated oil strainer pic up pipe
I didn’t know that was an issue😅 everyday’s a school day i suppose. What happens, do they seize or something?
@@day_dobbie yes mate the oil pick up pipe,there’s a revision one with 2 places for the oil to go through on new one,old one blocks up no oil go to engine then it’s engine replacement job,cost me £2k to get done,I Neva new until it happend look it up mate,awesome gti I got my new upgraded oil strainer,didn’t cost much but I assure you need it done 👍
Also pcv valve are dodge on these also there’s a revision part for that 2 👍
top man
hey, great video! its possible to add a reverse camera to that screen? thanks
Thanks! You can add a camera based on what the instructions were saying, but mine didn't come with one so maybe that's an optional extra?
Great commentary, you did well....Remember mate, practice makes perfect as you'll already know, every one has to start somewhere. Just Subbed, keep up the good work, i's worth it. My friend has a channel and it has been so rewarding for him.....
I really appreciate that. Thank you for the sub, the support and your kind words👍🏻
I know i dont have a audi tt but this video will help alot of people keep up the good work 👍
Thank you very much👍🏻
Good video pal. Given there is a fair bit of controversy around jacking points and axle stand placement points particularly on the MK2 could you either do a quick video or show specifically just where you are lifting her from and where you are bracing her with the stands. Thanks
Thanks! I'll include it in one of my next videos👍🏻 But it'll be just to show where I do it, not necessarily the "correct" way. I always look for a spot where it is already supporting the weight of the car (subframe mounts, control arm mounting points etc).
Changed my cam follower today pal, your video was a massive help so a big thanks. Keep the videos coming
Glad I could help!👍🏻
Replacing the cam follower is easy. I did mine so anyone can do it.
Nice.
Not bad for a Scouser..
Thanks for this video. Im wondering if one can simply just dump those front plastic windscreen drain holes “cover” , seems like its just very easy to get blocked up again?
No Problem! I did consider this myself but I'm not 100% sure, so I just left them in.
Usual great video from you yet again David. I’ve done the follower and the purge valve thanks to your previous ones. Hardest thing was trying to get the plugs seperated and those damn clips which I broke two of. Cheers again, Grant
Thanks! Yeah, those clips are a proper pain!
Sorry I'm not subscribe your channel
Good video pal. Do the spark plugs not need any adjustment or setting? Secondly are you intending on doing the CAM follower any time soon? Thanks
Thanks! I’ve done a video on the cam follower already, have a look through the channel and you’ll find it👍🏻
@@day_dobbie Gentleman will do, thanks pal

I remember most GTOs on ebay and auto trader Facebook bc iv always wanted one iv had loads of projects and wait for the day I can do what you have done well done mate
