No other RUclipsr would do all this in one episode. They would break em up for more views.Great content from start to finish. I'm hooked. Keep em coming 😊😊
No other? Come on. 😂.
Don't give him ideas
Lots of other RUclipsrs do it mate. Lots do rebuilding in 24 hours
More videos More views likes and comments = more money that's why but usually it's the bigger channels who do it small channels like these it's just pointless
It's actually because youtube heavily encourages it. The algorithm goes heavily on watch time and consistent uploads, 6 20 minute videos are more likely to have higher engagement (total time of the video watched) than a 2 hour video which will promote the video more (which you'd be encouraged to do to not potentially waste their filming/editting time). If youtube didn't encourage shitty practices like clickbait, splitting videos up into multiple videos and padding out the video it would happen so much less.
Two and a half hours! Man that is value Ben. Here we go
Its Still A Hoover was perfect. Never a truer word spoken. What a wonderful thing. This channel just is genius. The T-shirt looks great. Oh and I love the Audi.
Kirby's the best hoover. Or so the salesman kept telling me!!
Ben, mate...what an absolute stunner of a car! Massively enjoyed this episode. I gotta admit, I prefer your long videos as they are more immersive and totally feel like we take the journey with you. Simply put, you're a genius with motors. Your humour and ease before the lens, plus your resourcefulness make wonderful viewing. Thanks for all the time you invest so we can enjoy these awesome 2nd chance jam jars.
Loving this episode. And the Hoover song ?! Genius. We were both singing it by about two-thirds of the way through 🎶 🎤😁
I immediately loved the 'I'm still a Hoover' track - very catchy
I bought for my wife a 52 plate, 2002 Audi TT 225 in this colour, Silbersee metallic, obviously with twin exhausts, black leather, Bose & a 6 CD changer and low mileage (6k) in 2004. It was the first “sort of premium” car we’d ever had. She kept it until 2006, when she totally changed preferences and got a Rangerover Evoque.
The TT sold for £1500 in 2016, only two owners and around 100k miles. It looked almost as good as it drove away as it had the day we picked it up from an Audi dealer twelve years earlier. The paint was bulletproof. Nothing major had been replaced, still on the original clutch, though all brakes had been replaced. Coil packs also towards the end as idle had become erratic and it wasn’t TB related. It ate tyres though and was vulnerable to punctures from rubbish country roads. Other than that, it was totally reliable, never failing to proceed.
Oh, it used to eat front sidelight bulbs, which I put down to slight corrosion in the lamp holders and dodgy earths. And door micro switches that drop the windows a few mm when opened, and rolled them up upon closing the doors. Instead of replacing the entire door locking mechanism, the Audi recommended fix, I created & installed positive return springs under the micro switches. A square of the plastic from dart flights was bent to form a Z-fold & superglued into place. As it proved, this was a permanent solution & I never even needed to replace the homemade return springs.
Genuinely cannot think of anything else going wrong in well over a decade & nominally entire life of the car.
She got an Evoque 5 years before they came out? Impressive!
@@tobyholt4682 I think the 2006 is a typo as he says it was sold in 2016 and there had only been two owners at that point, them being the second.
I started watching this on Monday and today I've bought a MK1 Audi TT (225). Almost everything you did needs to be done on my new car. Looking forward to getting stuck in. Expect about a dozen views from me trying to copy what you did! 😀
What a bargain you got Ben! A lot of car for very little money. When I blend paint on a panel I never spray right up to the tape - try not to get any base or clear up to the tape, for the base colour coat and clear i just lift the gun or the can away from the surface gradually towards the edges of the main repair. That way i find i get a much more gradual change from the old to new. I do that for both the clear and the colour, though obviously i take the clear out a bit further. Where i lift the gun or can away towards the edges of the clear coat it can look a bit dry, but that is where that can of blending thinners does it's magic, the slightest whiff of that stuff will blend the new clear to the old giving it a lovely shine. Looking forward to seeing you taking it around the ring - hope it's a dry day for you - though with the four wheel drive you will have fun either way!
Your content has gone through the roof recently Ben - thanks so much for the effort! Such great viewing! Greetings from 🇮🇪
When these came out, they were so different, and stunning to look at. Couple of years later we bought one, for 16 grand.
We had the 225 version with twin exhausts. Hands down the best car I ever owned. The quality of the car was outstanding, and it was quick.
Owned BMW’s, rx8, and now I have an Audi a3 saloon S line, but the TT was special. Such a fantastic thing.
When a song sticks in your head it's a hit! And the video is also stuck in my head!! A couple of bullseyes..... Not too shabby! cheers!!
Two and a half hours of pure magic 👌
"🎼.. it's still a hoover..." Fun bit of a music. Catchy, too!
Fabulous video as usual.
Never been so pleased to see someone get a boot open. Get in
To not break this up in 5 episodes is great. Subscribed 🤘🤘🤘
Haha that song 👌👍 it’s still a hoover 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
SUPERB WORK! I bought a Mk2 Silver TT convertible a couple of years ago that was in a similar mess! I had seen a Mk1 restoration like this and how things just worked after a bit of cleaning and servicing. And how refined it was, and how clean underneath etc...and I decided I wanted one and a Mk2 with all the bells and whistles. Which I got, heated leather seats, AC, Full electric roof, 2L turbo etc. But it was an utter mess, dirt, grime, moss green hood, every panel was scratched, the interior had broken bits of trim or missing trim and looked like skip, full of rubbish. I spent about 3 months restoring and cleaning. I got all the panels pristine via electric polish, fully serviced it, restored the roof, fixed or replaced the broken trim, and had the wheels done professionally as they were worse than yours sadly. It now looks brand new. Like you I ended up going above and beyond as once you start, you cant stop and the Audi TT is so classy and executive its worth it. The heated seats are a joy in winter and the engine is great, its quiet and quick. I have upgraded parts like adding more leather to the inside and put in a whole new double din stereo for the TT so it all blends and looks stock.
All I can say is, just repaint the entire wing now you have done the light. Sand the rest slightly and mask off the wing and blow it all over with paint and it will save the effort of trying to blend it in and masking lines. It will fix all the scratches and bring it up to the quality of the rest of the car. When you sell it on you will make a lot of profit. If I were you I would keep it......
Just been listening to the tasty classics playlist on Spotify.
I thought my phone was broken when it played the Poddington peas theme tune.
I'm fairly confident these will become appreciating modern classics pretty soon. A design classic. Mechanically pretty strong. Tunable. If anyone has a decent low milage example put it away safely for a few years.
The film reference was Ali G indahouse😂 nice car mate, love your videos…..And that Hoover song😂
Catchy little song now every time I vacuum with the Dyson that song will be in my head 😂 great video content 👍
That's a lot of car for £250, and nice to see one that only needed simple tools as well. It's great how you show almost anything can be rescued if you have access to a welder and a lift but that looked like a car that anyone with a few simple tools and a driveway could bring around given time.
My father always says that most cars don't die, they just hibernate and this is a classic example of that. Such a cool little car! :D
Tasty tennis…Tasty football….Tasty Classics! What a brilliant Friday! Thanks Ben 👍
Ben, regarding the BT/CD situation: combine the two plugs, join AUX signals from the China BT adapter in place where the original CD changer cables go. Put any cd in one charger slot so it starts playing and you will get BT sound instead. Been there, done that. Let me help you remotely with that in case you need.
I loved my TT. Can't believe how good this car still looks. Thanks!
We love Mum, she's a star ❤
... 😍
You just got my subscription for being such a genouine, honest, down to the ground human. Very interesting episode and nicely made video! All the best from Germany. Really appreciate the content
I’ve still got that Hoover song stuck in my head :)
You may need to pair the key with the car again. This happened with my A4 B5 estate I used to have many moons ago. You change the battery and then put the key in the door whilst pressing and holding the top button- you then turn it anti clockwise and hold in that position (for about 10 seconds) whilst still holding the button down and then turn clockwise and hold in the clockwise position for about 10 seconds (also whilst keeping the button pressed down). Then take key out and it should have paired itself once more
The headlights are usually designed to be vented. When the vent is clogged, moisture can't escape. So clean the vent. Look for Water Condensation In Headlight? Eliminate It Easily Without Removing Headlight! 👍
Excellent fella only been following you for a few months but love that you're posts are a couple of hours and just love your down to earth chat and no bollocks 😂basically, and what a car for 250 quid have a great weekend fella
Great video Ben. Love watching you restore to former glory these old beauty's. Have a good week. Marc from Australia 🇦🇺
Didn't think I would like this but your presentation has become so good it kept me glued for the whole episode. I bet you could sell fridges to Eskimos !
Awesome video and what a fantastic bargain of a car. Good on you from saving it from the scrap yard and restoring it to its former glory!
I can no longer hoover without the hoover song playing on my cans 👌🏽
Brilliant little tidy up. I've really started to appreciate these cars in the last 18 months or so, it's a lot of car for the money.
If you’re willing to cut the factory wiring behind the stereo a standard ISO plug can be fitted quite easily, I recently did this on a 2004 Audi A3 with full Bose. One of the stickers on the factory head unit will have a wiring diagram on it to give you pointers. The basics of it are there is 4 positive connections for each of the speakers (2 front and 2 rear) and 1 shared ground. The sub doesn’t have its own feed direct from the stereo. You will then find that there is 1 cable which requires an ignition live so that the amp powers up when the ignition/stereo turns on. P.s love the content!
Or, you could just buy an adapter for a few quid instead of butchering the loom.
Liked the hoover song👋👋👋
Thats that tune in my head for the next few years!
Love your uncut raw transparent video buddy! Love how you do it all yourself and never miss the full details whereas some others will not include those bits. Love the longer video too. You have a new subscriber in me. Love the original, honest content. ❤
This video is so awesome, I've got an mk1 too, they're so rewarding (when they're not broken!) to drive. Such a great video!
The clean up and jetwash is my favourite part of your videos, it's one of the things I enjoy doing, the transformation after a good detail is astonishing sometimes
Excellent job! Makes me wanna get a mk1 TT as I've always liked them since they were launched.
Definitely going to be a car that will become more desired as time goes by!
Love a Tasty Classics video every week.
Great job on the Audi Ben.
What a bargin ! 👍
I have a real soft spot for those cars. A good friend of mine has a 2000 model with 136000 miles on the clock and still in pristine condition.
I love this channel. it's given me the confidence to work on my mx5 and not to stress about it being perfect. With every video I'm learning, if there was an example of the perfect RUclips video, well edited, ect, this would be it
Ben what a transformation. The TT looks so good now. I love your videos because you cram so much into one video. Great channel . Keep up the great content. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ben, happened upon you while looking at other channels, but you have become a go to! Love the content, often laugh out loud and even learn occasionally 🤷🏼♂️ well done butt, keep it up! Da iawn
Always had a love for the TT. You did a great job. You have a new follower. Loved that you did it in 1 video. Well done.
Always makes me laugh when your lift is dropping in the time lapses 😂 what a car!! I'm super impressed
Nice one Ben. I'm biased being a 91 Audi 100 a6 quattro owner. The build quality of these early cars was just amazing.. a tt for under a grand is awsome..I knew from 1 second it was a ring contender 🤙🤙🤙
That has turned out to be a very nice car, well done. I have an 03 MG TF which I love but after this video think I'm going to have a change and get a TT. Thanks for posting
Top tip for the head light, take the bumper off and drill some drain holes in the bottom of the unit. Really don't know why manufacturers don't do it.
That would cost too much money in the design stage, vehicle engineers want us to buy a new part 😊
Just gott back from a few days away. What a joy this was to whatch on a Sunday afternoon. Nice work.
Absolutely love this. These cars get better looking with time!
Dancing around in the wheel mask “skirt” has proven my comment/theory from the Austin video last week. You are a loveable loony with the most underrated channel on YT. I’m giggling my bits off here. Also, using your knee to support the stereo, to me, means you are no amateur Sir! Super superb 👌
Thanks for this video and all your hard work enjoy nuromberg? I'm an old man who was into this sort of thing years ago in Australia WELL DONE KEEP THEM COMING .
Another great video Ben, it’s amazing how a bit of Dysoning can transform a car’s interior.
Absolutely fantastic Ben, you're 2 hour plus videos are ultimate mate. Am cancelling Netflix now. Thank you. Great work , 👏 👍
Love it Ben... absolutely love it
....and great to see the viewing figures rocketing on this one....well deserved my friend 🤟
What a breath of fresh air to watch your channel keep it up and I'm glad I found it
Fantastic find, and well cleaned up - I loved every second of this video.
Loved the video and the hoover song Ben. Compulsive viewing for me on a Friday night keep em coming. Steve from colwyn bay.
Hi Ben. FAB EPISODE. I had a 2004 fwd red TT for 10 years. Bought for 5 grand with 83000 miles. Had done over 150000 miles when i gave it to my son. Engine never missed a beat. I had the same intermittent ESP light that you are getting and it was caused by an itermittent fault with one of the 2 Brake Pressure transducers that are fitted on the side of tge brake master cylinder. Absolute pig to get to so I lived with this intermittent fault for the last 3 years of owning the Car. What i really loved about the car was that you could feel the speed in it which made it great fun. All the best. Cameron
Absolutely loved this!!! And for me, the longer the better!! Well done!!! Looking forward to more Capri as well!!👍☺️
What a startling contrast to the Austin last week! I’m really looking forward to seeing this go round the Nurburgring.
Great car, work and long video, weekends is saved, my favorite youtuber😎🔥
You deserve credit for all your work on the TT. The only thing I would have done differently would have been to mask the area to be sprayed all around the crease in the wing but you were dealing with a most difficult colour.
It will be interesting to see how long your Aircon stays cold as on my Audi it was only a couple of months after a garage lube and recharge.
Best movie I've watched this week. Thanks for all the effort and bringing this lovely TT back on the road ❤
Another triumph of restoration Ben, one of your best yet. Take care on your trip to the Ring.
Tip for painting, there are a few places around where if you give them the paint code for your vehicle, they will send you back a custom mixed spray can of the exact colour.
Awesome job again Ben, car looks great. Looking forward to seeing it thrashing around the ring, (hopefully)👍👍
Man by far my favourite video of yours so far. Such a great idea showing all the costs on how to totally transform a modern classic.
Looks stunning and incredible value for money for such a cool car.
Also found the aircon regas part very interesting and a tasty classics playlist on Spotify!? You are spoiling us mate. Keep up the fantastic content you’re a gem 🤙
Absolutely loved this video,this is what car content should always be like! Well done!
A lot of effort and the result has paid off! A nice looking car for not a lot of money!
What a transformation, especially the wheels. I had the same alloys on a Passat years ago. They look great on any VW or Audi from the period. Looking forward to seeing it get thrashed round the ring.
Really impressive budget re commisioning Ben , but you're a real grafter and have plenty of experience and so you deserve your success , that was a hidden gem which you recognised and saved , i would like to think i could do this but i know it would not end this well .
What a great outcome, Ben. Brilliant work. I owned one of these for about eight years up until a few months ago and I did so much to it over that time - It was a massively satisfying exercise and I loved the car - especially as I'd put so much into it but, alas, it was having to compete with other shiny things and so it had to go.
Brilliant episode as usual. I have a mk1 TT and a MK1 MX5 so your content has recently got better and better for me! That TT was a bargain, wheels are worth more than 250!
Great job done Ben , lovely looking car , enjoyed watching it all in one episode.
Loved them from the day thet were conceived .
Top top job fella 👍👏 , just don't go wrecking it when you are away !! Cheers 👊
What an absolute steal, very generous seller thank you mate!
I'm learning. I like this fella and his channel. Really good, fun thing to watch.
Gives me plenty of knowledge to use on my own cars.❤
P.S. Polish the back lights.😂
I have always liked the shape of those cars it looks really nice car great job you've done on it and the wheels look good too can't wait for you to take on the racetrack to see how it does.
I love what you do Ben! You are silly but the result is just beautiful, never mind the wing. Leave that to the next owner to fix! For that amount of money, you really couldn't do any better!
Playlist added!
Bloody love your videos,I feel like I’m in the workshop with you (not in a weird way),just great fun to watch,love the mk1 TT and I’m not even a hair dresser 😂
Fantastic job as ever Ben, a real credit to you.
Really enjoyed that TT resto Ben !
Infection I enjoy all your content
Another brilliant video, very much appreciated! What a great transformation! 👍
Only 12 mins in and I'm thinking what a sweet find, just started her up ... Nice, good wash and would look like a completely different car 👍
I had same year in blue but the 225. Absolutely loved it, brilliant build quality, expensive to service though.. one off the most satisfying cars to wash with its shapes. Petrol cap didn't like the frost.
Great job! Enjoyed watching, nice to see a fine car resurrected. Enjoy!
Stayed awake till midnight to watch this. Bloody masterpiece and didn't skip a single bit - it must improve the watch time 🤣
One of the best videos I’ve watched from a long time. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Really enjoyed this. Very impressed by the wheels!
I absolutely love the song and band promotion thing, touring and gigging is so expensive these days therefore exposure is impossible for some young acts. Absolutely love it, well done Ben!!
Come on!! What a catch phrase, the feeling of joy when something broken is fixed. Just did the ac recharge thing, old 57 crv. Didnt blow cold when i bought it, thought the compressor was bust. No, just came back to life with this COME ON YOU BEAUTY🎉🎉🎉🎉 Off to spain on sat.
Greetings 👋 thank you for taking ur time speaking and having easygoing chat with all of us , 11 out of 10 in my personal opinion 🍻 Subscribed and shared already :)
Have a good one
Great work as always Ben. This TT is up there as one of the best you’ve done. 😊
