I work on a company that makes wiring harnesses for CAT, CNH, etc. My advice and I hope you take it, is to replace the damaged wires if there are just plugged segments or the harness. Even if it's not completely melted the insulating material of the wires is no longer the same and it will degrade and not behave as it suppose to.
@@Pabla98 Yeah - it's so helpful telling the guy to do what he has already said he was going to do - not. Perhaps he and his 10 similarly inattentive likers will pay attention next time, before they opine their instruction.
I'd look out for some good used undertrays. If the rest of the car is fully sorted and mint, it would bug me knowing they were like that, and when you come to sell it'll stick out if someone really goes looking round at it.
Lovely Jubbly video, I'd either repair or try and get second hand undertrays, think the DRL will probably have something to do with the fried wiring. Good luck with the rest of your project matey.
Hello from NYC love ur vids, listen I would trim the edges and back it goes. I believe you will find them at a later day from a salvage yard anyway. Take care stay safe and keep on building.
I’ve seen you really struggle with juggling jobs and trying to fit in RUclips, this time I think you’ve landed really lucky with this GORGEOUS Sepang blue SQ5 and I tell you what…it’s absolutely well deserved and I’m absolutely chuffed for you!!
I would like to know the part code for these as well that fit the Q5/SQ5. Might be interested in swapping mine out. But never really had a problem with the jet style ones.
Nicely done sir! Are you worried about the inner wing rusting if its damaged the paint on the outside its probably missing protection inside, will the wing need to come off? cheers
Amazing transformation to the engine bay looks brilliant now. Looks like the burn damage is not that bad overall. Think I would try to fettle those undertrays a bit and perhaps look out for some cheap ones on Ebay - who is going to actually see em? I hate the washer jets on our TT might investigate the VW version.👍
Mate...Thanks for some good content..Engine bay looks mint..The bottom cover i would fibre glass it save on the money side...Can't wait for the rewiring as it would be interesting to see this done..Spot on fella
I would replace the under trays if you are selling, if not then trim the burnt bits and seal with some resin, the corns don’t matter as it doesn’t look to have effected the mounting points.
Great job just shows a good clean can do wonders. And with the parts replaced you can’t even see there was a fire top job. Look forward to the rest of the rebuild on this one.
Safe to say you got a good stroke of luck there with the damage and personally I wouldn't bother replacing the undertrays I'd try to repair them if that didn't work just get some second hand ones from the breakers
My engine bay was the same when i bought mine, not soot right enough. But i cleaned it and what a difference it made. Looking good though, very interesting. I totally agree with you about the washer jets, what is the prt number for the fan style? I want to get a set for mine.
Like the color. Maybe you could do a price rundown when its done(?) And it would be fun with a full recap of what cars you have had on the channel since it started!
10000% vouch for the crap washers from audi. My rear one hasn't worked for years, even after blasting the lines and the old pin trick. Will be ordering one off a golf, thanks Dean!
Love your channel and also watch Salvage Rebuilds UK. Wonder why you don’t get parts from scrapyard, as they do. They seem to get parts amazingly cheap.
Pretty lucky break on the damage 😉 For the wiring there's places like Vehicle Wiring Products that sell pretty much all the different coloured wires with trace colours so you can do a true like for like repair 😊 Good luck with all that fun wiring.
Cars coming on ok Dean, didn't think the damage looked to bad, keep the under trays and try and repair them, nobody's going to see them anyway, wish it was mine !!, Well done.
Hi Couldn’t help but notice that the Q5 doesn’t come with drilled and grooved brake discs thats surprising. It’s incredible that fire damage wasn’t actually far worse. Good luck with the refit I’m sure you’ll get car back to it’s former glory soon.
Great video Dean. Lots of good tips on issues with Audi parts! They really know how to charge on slow moving parts don’t they? Interesting bit about the mileage fiddles and mileage retained in other modules. A car vertical check for £12 would also verify this and also any damage history. Looks like this one is your keeper 👍😎
Hi Dean You don't by any chance know the part number for the spray pattern washer jet from the VW? Could do with replacing the jets on the Mr's Q3 as they've recently decided to wash everything but the bloody screen!! Cheers bud 👍🏼 Ps would the powder be boiled wax that was on the inner arch??
Make sure you get a genuine Audi drive shaft boot. Aftermarket boots are no good, the rubbers stretch and you will end up replacing them again with genuine ones. You can get just the CV boot including all clips and grease for £50. CV joint at the wheel is £395. Driveshaft complete is £575. These prices were for the rear, so the front may be the same or a bit more 😉 The SQ5 is a great car to own, just an all round does everything car. Been lucky enough to have one myself 🙂
The under trays - would it be possible to tidy them up by smoothening/cutting the damaged parts and then painting the whole lot? Far cheaper and still pretty tidy if looked at from underneath during a tyre alignment or service.
2nd hand under trays from the scrapyard or eBay. Dry ice underneath cleaning maybe Karcher will sponsor the channel with their new dry ice detailing system.
Great video going to get a sq5 in August , with my retirement money , can I ask are you going to fit a ghost security on it ?,or recommend it , thanks Paul
Have you a part number for those VW windscreen nozzles? My A6 has those directional ones that wreck my head. Would love to swap them for ones that mist instead.
Nice one Dean , that engine bay looks fantastic . I just know how the rest is going to turn out. Well done mate . I was wondering what the plans are for that little red motor car are..... Cheers mate
I'd just use those undertrays for now and keep an eye on different breaker websites for new ones. Veedubs in Gateshead sometimes have stuff for topend audi and vw in stock.
Dean, is the flexi brake hose ok? The one shot it looked as if it was a little fried. Also and the windsreen trim on a Q5 there is a cover over the positive terminal too.
This one went one way and the other as you dug into the issues. The engine bay turned out well, but there may still be a few gremlins to clear when you dig through the underside wiring and boots, any chance of a piece of second-hand loom to piece in and replace the main underside wiring damage and avoid a wire by wire job?
I’d replace the under trays if it was mine, I’d never be happy with it otherwise! Is there supposed to be a square of plastic on the scuttle covering the terminals?
Hi Dean! As you mentioned, carly works like a dream! Look, can you post the part number of the golf washers? I have a Q3 and suffer from the same sh*tty design! Would change it as well!
Will them spraying things fit an audi A4 2014 as i don't like how spray the geniune one's,and if they fit what is the part number? Thank you! Love your channel
Hi from durham dean👋 more I look at this car it seems more suspicious theifs usually take stuff or steal for parts 😬🤔 I think possible maybe someone trying to pull quick insurance job (speculation I know ) but looks like just put accelerent in vent that melted of scuttle panel just went wrong for them and reported it stolen after (my thoughts like) cos damage more to inside on way down not enough damage up top as whatever has vaporized a bit and ran down wing 🤔🤔 and just repair under trays mate if more practicle and if some pop up then grab them but leave the stealership ones on shelf lol just one thing tho maybe I would change brake flexi just incase collapsed inside burn brakes from none return 👍 lol but great save man hope she flys the test and that inner wing wiring hope fixes light and no shorts elsewhere mate great job cleaning her mate 😍😍 thanks for you time be safe and see you soon👍👋
Part number for the washer jets I used was 5G09559869B9 😊
Do you know if they will fit a Audi A3 8V ?
Anyone know if they fit on Audi A4 B6?
Cheers , ive got the exact same SQ5 Plus+ , Same colour 17 plate.... Please take that RSQ5 badge of the back , they DON'T exist...... YET😆🤫
A lot of people asking for the heated washer jets PN. I don’t have it to hand but will get it tomorrow and edit this post. So keep your 👀 peeled.
Thanks
I work on a company that makes wiring harnesses for CAT, CNH, etc. My advice and I hope you take it, is to replace the damaged wires if there are just plugged segments or the harness. Even if it's not completely melted the insulating material of the wires is no longer the same and it will degrade and not behave as it suppose to.
Except he already said it was not plugged, so he is going to cut it and join every wire. Did you not pay attention?
@@einfelder8262 Jesus dude hes just tryna help no need to get rude
@@Pabla98 Yeah - it's so helpful telling the guy to do what he has already said he was going to do - not. Perhaps he and his 10 similarly inattentive likers will pay attention next time, before they opine their instruction.
@@einfelder8262 you sound like an unhappy person
@@Pabla98 half correct, probably just British
Looks amazing. Great tip on the wind screen washers.
I'd look out for some good used undertrays. If the rest of the car is fully sorted and mint, it would bug me knowing they were like that, and when you come to sell it'll stick out if someone really goes looking round at it.
Totally agree with this

I'm really impressed how well the engine bay cleaned up 👍
Top upload Dean! Do you have the part no for the washer jets? The ones on my A4 B8 are crap and I wouldn't mind replacing them for those. Cheers 👍
Hello from NYC love ur vids, listen I would trim the edges and back it goes. I believe you will find them at a later day from a salvage yard anyway. Take care stay safe and keep on building.
Looks like luck has been on your side with this one… it could easily have gone the otherway. Nice one 👍
I’ve seen you really struggle with juggling jobs and trying to fit in RUclips, this time I think you’ve landed really lucky with this GORGEOUS Sepang blue SQ5 and I tell you what…it’s absolutely well deserved and I’m absolutely chuffed for you!!
Thanks Steven! 😊
utterly unbelieveable a salvage company lift cars of high value with a forklift.
What do you suggest?
What’s the part number for the washer jets please, I’m going to change them over on my Audi
I would like to know the part code for these as well that fit the Q5/SQ5. Might be interested in swapping mine out. But never really had a problem with the jet style ones.
What is the part no. för the VW misting nozzle? I need those on my A6 C7.5!
Great work. Looks fantastic in engine bay. Looking forward to seeing the rest.
Nicely done sir! Are you worried about the inner wing rusting if its damaged the paint on the outside its probably missing protection inside, will the wing need to come off? cheers
Have another look underneath at the back of the subframe… the steering column gaiter at the bulked looked a bit suspect 🤷

The wiring may have heat damage. May cause the wire to break internally. I personally would cut the wire back and replace any suspect wiring
If you'd bothered to pay attention to the video, you'd know he said that he will do exactly that.
I LOVE this colour. Great purchase - actually looking for one myself too. Good video. Hopefully an easy splice, wing touch up and you are good to go 👍
Mate...Thanks for some good content..Engine bay looks mint..The bottom cover i would fibre glass it save on the money side...Can't wait for the rewiring as it would be interesting to see this done..Spot on fella
Definitely enjoying this series, only because I’ve got an SQ5 as well.
In regards to tuning - who do you think you’ll go with for that?
You have been very lucky Dean on this brilliant content keep up the good work.
Looking good! What is the PN for the mist washer jets? :-)
Brilliant stuff Dean , what a little gem she is now! Looking forward to the wiring repair :)
I'd say try and source some second hand undertrays
I would replace the under trays if you are selling, if not then trim the burnt bits and seal with some resin, the corns don’t matter as it doesn’t look to have effected the mounting points.
Just subscribed to your videos. Very informative, put together well and edited. Nice one.
Great job just shows a good clean can do wonders. And with the parts replaced you can’t even see there was a fire top job. Look forward to the rest of the rebuild on this one.

looking great!... I would also bleed the brakes as the brake fluid might have bubbled in that offside corner....10 minute job but peace of mind.

Looking good Dean, thanks for the tip about the VW washer jets.
Saving Salvage -when cars have airbags deployed, do they usually start and run? Or need a fuse replacing first?
I need to get me those mist jet washers for my SQ5, those are great, thanks for the idea. Which year is your SQ5?
Looks well mukka hope ya got it for a good price!! Fault drive or been sold when fixed
What is the part number of the screen washer nozzle from VW. I have an A4 and has the same nozzle as Q5 and i hate it. Might as well replace.Thanks
good job Dean it looks so much better already
Wow what a transformation of the engine bay with a simple clean, Sepang blue really pops💙 👏🏼 👌🏼 😍
How're you going to clean the underside? I've heard that dry ice cleaning works a treat. Lovely set of wheels :)
Hi Dean
You don't by any chance know the part number
for the spray pattern washer jet from the VW?
Could do with replacing the jets on the Mr's Q3
as they've recently decided to wash everything
but the bloody screen!!
Cheers bud 👍🏼
Ps would the powder be boiled wax that was on
the inner arch??
Yes please to the part number

Fantastic transformation to the top of the car, great to see
The under trays - would it be possible to tidy them up by smoothening/cutting the damaged parts and then painting the whole lot? Far cheaper and still pretty tidy if looked at from underneath during a tyre alignment or service.
Not sure what you/everyone else thinks but I would have watched a longer video in real time rather than the time lapse. Keep up the good work!
Looks great so far glad you have got a good result this time and will look fantastic once complete.
Definitely repair the under trays and give them a bit of a spray in black. Looking forward to the wiring repairs!
Excellent work my guy! I I was living in the UK, I'd hit u up for that SQ5 when you're thru!
Engine bay looks amazing ! Looks like it’s going to be a cracking car!!
Looks great 👍, thanks for the washer jet tip ,I've an A4 quattro avant and they drive me mad, upgrade now 😁
Me 2. I’m looking to do the same with my A4 Allroad 2020. Do you know the vw part number?
Pls let me know how you get on
Great video Dean engine bay is as new looking forward to the next update nice project.
Great job, you may have got a bargin :), good tip on the washer jets do they also fit the A6's 2017 model
Great video. Amazing car and what you’ve done with it in such short time. Look forward to the next video
Engine bay looks mint, should be a good runner when it’s finished. Nice job
Nice work. . Did you get a chance to look for the golf headlight?
Where are the washer jets from part number etc want them for my Q5. Good work as always.
2nd hand under trays from the scrapyard or eBay. Dry ice underneath cleaning maybe Karcher will sponsor the channel with their new dry ice detailing system.
It's about time you had a bit of luck with a car, the engine bay came up a treat you did a great job, h hopefully the rest of it won't be too bad 👍👍👍
Looking superb.surely got to to change the trays?rest of it is to good not too
Nice cleaning, car looks perfect, waiting to see new episodes!
Great video going to get a sq5 in August , with my retirement money , can I ask are you going to fit a ghost security on it ?,or recommend it , thanks Paul
Absolutely love a misty screen wash jet👌🏻
Nice one! What's the hole in the back of the engine cover? Not the oil fill cap hole.
Undertrays, either trim off the burnt bit and remount as they are, or try and repair with some fibreglass repair
Is there any in a scrap yard? Could get the trays off that
Glad to see this hasn't gone bad for you and car looks great 👍 👌
I’m really looking forward to seeing how you repair the wiring loom
Good work, yeah I swapped out my washer jets for them on my a4 so much better 😀👍
Coming along nicely. I've seen metal under trays online for cheaps. 👍💙
Have you a part number for those VW windscreen nozzles? My A6 has those directional ones that wreck my head. Would love to swap them for ones that mist instead.
Nice one Dean , that engine bay looks fantastic . I just know how the rest is going to turn out. Well
done mate . I was wondering what the plans are for that little red motor car are..... Cheers mate
I'd just use those undertrays for now and keep an eye on different breaker websites for new ones. Veedubs in Gateshead sometimes have stuff for topend audi and vw in stock.
Great update, why the hell did Copart use a forklift in that way... Did you complain...
Dean, is the flexi brake hose ok? The one shot it looked as if it was a little fried. Also and the windsreen trim on a Q5 there is a cover over the positive terminal too.
Great work. What product did you use in the engine bay to get it nice and bling?
This one went one way and the other as you dug into the issues. The engine bay turned out well, but there may still be a few gremlins to clear when you dig through the underside wiring and boots, any chance of a piece of second-hand loom to piece in and replace the main underside wiring damage and avoid a wire by wire job?
Undertray from a breakers? Or leave them as they are as long as everything behind is sorted ?
That’s not as shagged as I was expecting it to be. I’d try and source new undertrays from a breakers (I’m assuming they’re generic across the Q5’s).
Looks really nice that engine bay and interior. find some used undertrays
I’d replace the under trays if it was mine, I’d never be happy with it otherwise!
Is there supposed to be a square of plastic on the scuttle covering the terminals?
Hi Dean! As you mentioned, carly works like a dream! Look, can you post the part number of the golf washers? I have a Q3 and suffer from the same sh*tty design! Would change it as well!
What products did you use to clean the engine compartment?
Great work, looking forward to the the next episode. Cheers from Sweden
Will them spraying things fit an audi A4 2014 as i don't like how spray the geniune one's,and if they fit what is the part number? Thank you! Love your channel
Very lucky there Dean! Good video as ever.
Would you please film the CV boot replacement
Regards Eric
looks much better fella got lucky with this one lovely car
Can't believe how good ot looks under the bonnet. Hopefully woring goes easily in the next video and you will have a noce car on your hands
What acrqcking video so glad it wasnt that bad after all, any chance of the part numbers for the mist jets as i want to fit them to my 14 plate vw cc
I bet you could get the undertrays second hand i would replace
Ahhhh! What’s the part number on the mist spray jet? My CC has the three holes jets and they are rubbish!
