You seem more at peace in this video! Maybe slowing up some is helping.
Just your smile and quirky antics is all we need, and you make us happy!
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for the shout out!!!😭💕🙏🏻 you are so inspirational. Seriously thank you for all you do❤️ I always learn so much from you
Hi sarah, im a mechanic from England , really impressed with your content , my daughter who is 11 loves your channel. Keep up the good work.
You're positive attitude and silliness always make me smile. I'm going through something rough now. Thanks for the laughs.
A few times won't matter at all, but just for future reference, most of the 'wear' on HID bulbs comes from the higher potential of ignition as they're switched on, not really them being on. Them being on for a half hour drive causes less stress on the bulb than initially turning them on for that drive.
It's a gripe I have with several manufacturers that don't use a separate bulb for flashing the high beams, and ignite the HID and lower the bi-xenon flap. It's usually the same cars that have a DRL running dimmed at 8 volts that could just be switched to a higher duty cycle, wearing the $10 bulbs, not the $100 ones... Volkswagen.
The main thing I learned as a mechanic in the Marine Corps was always look busy. Whether that meant making sure I was far enough under a truck with my coverall sleeves buttoned together over my head while I napped or making sure I had a rag and a wrench in my back pocket or a clipboard with some paper, blank or otherwise as I roamed aimlessly around the maintenance yard. :)
LOL Oh how I remember those days....Semper Fi Vern !!!! Even us grunts did the same thing !!! If I cleaned my weapon anymore it would've been polished.
As a 0331 i just held the trigger to look busy. Did use my 240 as a pillow once, but she was clean and ready to roll. Just like Sarah said, clean them before use. Wise words.
Those bees must have thought you were a pretty yellow Springtime flower🐝🐝🌻🌻
This sounds dumb - but they might have been attracted to your antifreeze. A strong sweet smell in a desert environment...
Not dumb at all. I was thinking the same thing at first. But on second thought, I think they were just attracted to Sarah 🌻🐝
Excellent advice/tips all around on this video Sarah. I always make a parts list or to-do list when I work on my cars. My memory is terrible. Another way to keep track of bolts when working on say a water pump, is to place it on a box or piece of cardboard. Then draw an outline and mark the holes and push the bolts through the corresponding holes in the order they came out. Scrap cardboard or something similar works great for making templates too. I dig the bench made from spare parts. Nice to know I’m not the only one that makes things from random crap that’s laying around lol.
I'm probably in the minority here, but... I subscribed after you purchased the TT. So I would naturally like to see you finish it.
New wheels, new seats, and a lemon, tangerine or lime wrap.
Then I'd like to see you sell it to someone that had a smile on their face from ear to ear!
wheels are brand new
"This is not my best look" says someone who is always the best looking. Thank you for making and sharing your wonderful videos.
"pay it forward" is not just monetary, your knowledge is invaluable
So happy AF,Retired, my 91miata runs great! GOOD LUCK Florida Keys Mike, when I worked on the flight line on aircraft I always went to job control and looked at their maintenance board, if you want to make a day off for yourself clear the board , then you get to go home early, I hate cutting myself especially on the inner forearms
You should check out SeeJaneDrill on RUclips. She is like the Bob Ross of construction. Almost burned my buns in the oven watching.😀 Your Audi TT key need Viagra. It goes limp after you put it in.🤣
Do you straighten your hair all the time, or is it naturally that straight? It always looks so good ❤️
Katie Boutelant I have natural wavy hair actually.
Sarah -n- Tuned you should do a hair tutorial
I had a girlfriend who had incredibly thick wavy hair and she hated it. She would spend an entire hour burning and sizzling her long hair straight every single morning.. It is quite a shock to the senses the first couple times you see it happening in your bathroom at 6am.. It's all foggy, it smells weird, there are lots of sounds.. 😲😲
You'll be so screwed if you put your socks on the wrong feet!
still waiting for the bikini car wash video. Was this just a teaser? You and little Sarah promised at the last live chat ;)
I really like this change of format. Nicely done!
Thank you for your service and great content👍🏻🇺🇸
The front bumper of that TT has been off 573 times now, by my count.
I absolutely would love to watch more women auto videos, I currently watch Sarah and Emelia Hartford, would love to add more!
Faye hadley
Check out fabulous gab gab. She’s a lot like Sarah.
Well constructed, cabinets and new couch! Great idea sharing some tips, exactly right with the gloves.
Hope the G65 is the full issue with the TT.
Really looking forward to MR DOS's new wheels and tires ..Thanks for all the great tips ! maybe do a video of Small Sarah unboxing :)
Cool, little Sarah gets packages too 👍-up.
Great vid again Sarah.
Which pressure washer do you use? I need to get one to use on my vehicles. Thanks
Well damn, here I thought your car was winking at me.
I got nothin'...
At 7:58 Nirvana / Kurt Cobain 🎸
Wow cute belly shot 8:37 😘
Good stuff Sarah, you are seriously witty!(-:
wow you can do alot with that magnetic gauge holder..you can use a dial gauge to determine how much runout is on your brakes or as for me i use it when BLUEPRINTING ENGINES/
Engage safety squints!!
Thank you for sharing your tips. About cars. With us.
I love it when the garage dwelling Sasquatch has a beautiful smile on her face. Makes my day. And, your worst look is by far your best look.
Keep doing what you're doing and how you're doing it. It's perfect. BTW, thank you for 8:37 just gorgeous. 😘
G'day, Sarah! You honestly may want to look up, (the very cool) Keith Fenner and his Job Shop. You can, join him as he perform old school repair jobs by drilling, milling, grinding, welding, plasma cutting, broaching and metalworking on a lathe. All at Turn Wright Machine Works, (homesteading his talents on beautiful Cape Cod, Mass.) He'll walk the talk and getter done!
I enjoyed, the sharing of great tips on what you've learned over the years as a technician. By the way, where are average things made? In the satisfactory. But then I've noticed, "Lions don't have to worry about every little detail in life... just the mane thing." 🤣
Cheers!✌🏼❤️
Speaking of other female RUclipsrs. Check out Faye Hadley. She's a mobile mechanic tech. Only around 11,000 subs now but puts out some good videos.
More awesome gifts. I got some of those sleeves after working on SWMBO Camaro and my arms looked like I like a fight with a bobcat.
you're beautiful :)
My first thought was, your OCD is 💯. I just washed my engine bay in preparation for a AC compressor replacement for the same reason. To not introduce dirt/debris into the system. ✊🏼
Thanks for the fastener tip. I’m so ADHD that it’s hard for me to keep track of parts.
If you aren’t an engineer, you ought to be one. Your problem solving skills run circles around experienced engineers.
BTW: Thank you for your service.
Things I envy about Americans.
Humongous Garages! My garage can barly fit a sixties compact in it, anything post 1970 I just can't open the doors if I manage to get it in there :(
Great show! Luv from good ole Blighty.
"That has a long shaft; I like that." Lmao!!! I love Sarah so much. There, I said it. :)
Sarah, Love your videos......Have you ever checked out Faye Hadley's You Tube videos? Your the two ladies that impress me most with your videos, knowledge and insight.
Sarah...the main buzz in town (there's still more to come). Re-bolt removal from new jobs, I've often used disposable paper plates; cheap (ie-don't throw them out when they're demoted from the kitchen), you can write on them, ie crossmember bolts, gearbox bolts, and they soak up stains (to a point).
Sarah. Thank you for Bring me a lot of joy in the failing time in my life. Thank you for being a real, down to earth , beautiful young Lady with an open mind and outstanding talent. Ted.
I was working on my car over the weekend and had a swarm of bees show up in my garage too! It was nuts. Ended up turning on the car and running it for a few minutes to give off exhaust gas to get them to leave. Swarms must be out in this warm weather looking for new hive locations..... NOT IN MY GARAGE!!!!!
You absolutely make my day. People like you are few and far between. You just don’t know how important you really are.
So some tips and maybe pass on to your audience if you don't know. Is first be very careful washing engine's I seen many people cause more problems washing engines then good especially pressure washing or using very harsh chemicals on them. Usually it's moisture that cause corrosion in electrical components or ignition components. So I recommend people use just a regular garden hose and sprayer. And use just purple power. I also usually high recommended people air dry the engine with compressed air especially around electrical components and ignition systems. A good tip for coolant checking is a pressure tester. You can buy cheap ones for 100.00 or less and since I would assume you aren't going to use it every day buying a cheap brand is going to be okay. Considering my 100. 00 Chinese one lasted longer then my 300.00 snap on one. Also invest in a coolant funnel they make life easier bleeding systems if you don't have one. Their like 30-50 bucks. When you are filling cooling systems that have the reservoir/fill style like the audi. Put the cap back on to help build pressure and heat the cooling system. And I will normally hold the engine to like 3000 rpms till the electric fans come on. Then I'll recheck the cooling system level. Be careful opening the caps. And last thing Sarah look into some launch or autel scan tools. They can be had for 500-5000 dollars depending on how much u want to spend. Most people thing the 5000-16000 snap on is the only way to go and I tell them I don't car what they say they are just wrong. But launch has a cell phone tool for 500 and a lot of better diagnostic technitions then me use it all the time and highly recommend it.
I'm a relatively newish subscriber, Slowly been getting into watching your content because of your unique personality. Finding out you're a veteran it totally makes sense now, I'm a veteran myself. The awkwardness, wittiness and the Sexual Innuendos, It all makes perfect sense now.. lol
Please reach out to Faye Hadley (Pistons and Pixiedust) on RUclips and say "Hi". Smaller female mechanic just getting her channel going. She teaches women how to work on their own cars. I think you two would have lots of fun collaborating on a video.
I have a question im hoping you can answer. do you have an TT service manual and does it cover the 3.2L engine? I have an MK5 3.2L and being told the engine info is in the TT manual. Im as sure you know as I assume you wont respond :( worth a try
The magnetic arm and indicator is used to measure run out on rotating objects, shafts, rotors, bearings etc. Another great vid! I teach my daughter how to work on her car every chance I get. This past weekend she replaced plugs, wires, cap, rotor, intake hose, oil & filter, and a tranny flush. I point explain and help find things in the Haynes manual.
A month ago your comments were blowing up with questions and recommendations for the tt cooling issues. Now that you've upgraded, troubleshot, and temporarily fixed the system to regain proper operation, more people are concerned with how flat your stomach is.
I say job well fucking done.
Just so you know, there are very few techs out there that would have gotten to the root without going through the steps, and new parts, you did. Most probably would have condemned the fans as well.
Whoop whoop! Getting stuff done! No leaky leaky, and sweet ass looking tires too. Really like that tread pattern. Haha a mirror, the 1 thing that was always broke in our tool boxes whenever we did ataf 😂😂
Yeah I gotta take a leaf out of your book.
I do use those magnetic trays but I cant tell you how many "spare bolts" I have in containers in my garage from working on cars.
Not really spare. I just never found where they went back in.
In Australia we just call it weight reduction lol
Only 4 years on those bulbs dang! I just recently replaced my projector retrofit Philips HID bulbs that were 13 years old! I did the retrofit in 2004 and replaced the bulbs in 2017.
Hey Sarah did u do a check in Vagcom to see at what temp the fans come on Especially with that new Radiator... My car still keeps crawling past the one notch past the 1/2 way mark, think its the cluster I'm out of ideas..
If you find that the grip on those vinyl gloves is sometimes lacking, go to walmart and look for Grease Monkey Traction Grip Nitrile Disposable Gloves, they have a texture on the grip that helps big time with holding onto things, but still has all the advantages of the disposable gloves, they are a bit thicker material as well so they stand up to mechanic type work better then the el-cheap-o's
I got to admit best thing about winter in MA is no bugs. All bugs be dead. Also no killer bees aw shucks they don't like the cold. Fire ants nope they don't like the cold either. Tarantulas, rattle snakes, mountain lions, scorpions brrrrrr we don't like the cold either. If we could just get rid of Pocahontas it would be paradise
Next tech tips video for beginners, research the job before you start so you have some idea what is involved and take plenty of pictures as the parts are coming off so you can figure out how to put it back together. Actually I have been a mechanic for over 25 years professionally and wrenching on my own vehicles for 35 years and still use both of those tips quite often to this day.
The overheating problem was obviously cured with a up graded radiator. I can’t help but wonder if a new single core like. the one that was removed would have fixed the issue.
FYI - My granddaughter got the idea from her moron father that cars are not a "girl's thing" (he couldn't even change a battery...). So my daughter and I showed her your channel and Faye Hadley, too. Thank you!
You're wearing a yellow striped shirt! Of course the bee is gonna come after you! LOL!! :)
Love the vids, Audi TT ones especially, as I have an Audi S3 8L which is mechanically identical and have done similar repairs, but my other two cars are almost as bad, a VW passat 3.2 and audi a3 3.2, so with all three I don't have much spare time anymore, they are all projects really.
You don't get dirty working on cars because ure an angel and angels don't get dirty! 😇 Love your vids and your sense of humour and oh them long legs look good too! Keep up the great work Sarah! 👌😘
Oh god, we have that same that was easy button in our lab at the winery (Which has DI water 💧 I get for detailing cars) Just the other day I was pressing the easy button and said the same thing that Sarah said 🤦♂️
QueenBRZ got a shout-out 😮 She's gonna freak out. 😂
The arm warmers for bicyclists are very thin, made for winter riding, and don't snag as bad as those emo sleeves. They are also more liquid repellent. Even in the heat, they transfer moisture better and faster, and wont slip
If I sent another woman a package or gift, I might as well plan on making sure its my own shit because I will be getting my ass kicked to the curb. I like your videos but Yeah, limits. Tips is ok, but gifts?
Nitrile gloves are great but put two on if you need to keep something clean take the top gloves off and Voila you have clean hands. Great if you are dining an oil change.
I'm sorry. I paused at 8:37.
Arm protectors are A great idea But you need something To protec those beautiful legs
The little one Is no longer called small Sarah She's Fun size
If ya like the layout of yer maint board lines might want to get a cheap roll of pinstripe tape and make ‘permanent’ lines so ya dont accidentally erase the lines while erasing the chores...
Not sure if you've seen Faye's channel > ruclips.net/channel/UCc0508DmRG72ILIkc4Vr8yg
"They eventually buzzed off". I see what u did there, very...punny. :)
tro level on it screw in to studs,Bob's your uncle. Imay be getting a 5spd reg cab ranger 2wheel drive for $500 tomorrow .I think I may make a rally prerunner truck because of you .
I always clean my car before taking it to a mechanic. I feel it's disrespectful to hand it to them dirty.
Is it weird that I'm binge watching you videos drinking a whole bottle of wine?
Nice work, don't like construction work either but managed to install a new fire rated door between the garage and basement and a new walk threw door to the garage, plus a new storm door last fall.
you would be good going into schools and giving your advice to young people about what you have done and what you are doing now with your cars . learning mechanics in the navy was it ? .
That was a hell of a mail time. You have awesome fans
Putting the hardware back where it came from is a great tip. I started doing this after you mentioned it in another video a while back. Its a smart idea that has saved me a lot of time and trouble. Thanks, Sarah! 👍
Installation is the reverse of removal?
hey Sarah, whats it like to have a TT? Would a stock one give you a hard time with maintenance?
your logic is phenomenal! Flawless! Thanks for sharing.
For me you make great work in every Video and look great in every situation 😀😀😀👍👍👍
cool
I have apiphobia wich means I run away like scared girl if bee comes near me lol only thing I cant stand is damn bees
My maintenance board consists of sticky notes on the dinner table...extra motivation to get them done and off the dinner table 😜
being a dumbass who never plans aside from hold my beer I like these tips videos.
You have the same stud finder that I have. Mine is useless, of course. It beeps anytime I get near it.
Sarah. Your hairstyle at video 8:04 so cute. :)
oh before I forget , what is your thoughts on waterless coolents ? . water based or waterless ? .
I bet you could take Tater Tots bumper off with your eyes closed.
I always give your her videos the thumbs up before I even watch them because I have that much faith that the video will be good you have never let me down keep up the good work.
my tt isn’t boosting normally just rebuilt it think it’s running rich
I think the Bees were attacked by the scent of the (sweet smell) of coolant ; or some new fragrance your wearing???
Also, your comedy style reminds me of Carol Bernett (I think she is still with us) , in fact you kind of look like a young CB! Look her up, I think you'll enjoy her ; she is a comedy icon!!!
Carol Burnett and yes, she's still alive. She's hilarious.
How come the TT sounds like my 2 stroke lawnmower lol
Bees are drawn to the glycol in the radiator fluid
How many naps have you already taken on your new couch, hmmm?
Jay Hoonz running on 9 hours sleep in 2 days right now! Haha
@@SarahnTuned Kinda sounds like my sleep schedule!
Hi Sarah, I liked your kartoffel joke.
