Mat Armstrong,try to get the soft for longer gears change.DO YOU SEE THIS?TRY TO GET THE SOFT FOR THE,RS5 GEAR BOX.the soft for the gear box is your ,,lose of power''.more like your complain of less power.
You are hands down the best RUclipsr on the car scene! Fun, entertaining, informative and not full of yourself. Loving all of the projects you’ve done so far, it’s definitely inspired me to get my hands greasy on my own car. Keep up the great content Mate!!! 👍🏻
I am a proudly audi a5 owner aswell, ive subscribed when RUclips suggested a video of yours with the audi S5. love this project! cant wait for more audi projects cheers mate
@@danielveres5021 did get a DPF warning, I changed the sensor and never an error since then. They also tuned up the shifting gear or clutch.. dont remember it anymore 🤭
My S5 had the same experience, changed all the coils to NGKs and changed the spark plugs Plugged diagnostics in and came up with multiple misfire that jumped from cylinder to cylinder Eventually took it to an audi specialist and they said it was valve bounce that occurred at high RPM A month later I ended up selling it.. I hope you end up solving the problem as they are awesome cars when running properly 👌
Have to say the products you advertise actually seem decent and unique, unlike just pushing another app or pay to win game or something which other youtubers tend to do
One thing I love about this channel is this guys not half hearted with the projects he does he makes some quality content unlike some that just make a video for 30mins showing themselves putting stickers on there cars
Matt, another great video. And without wishing misfortune, I like to when things go wrong, and you get to the bottom of the issue, as that's what happens in the real world. That's why I like watching the likes of Lee Lockwood and Savage Garage, real car enthusiasts working in the real world. Well done on all of the new subscribers, they've made a very good decision 👍
Loving your content , too many people posting vids of someone else or a garage doing mods etc etc.then boasting that they gained 300 hp, love how you tackle the jobs yourself.. you deserve more subs. liked and subbed from a nearly 50 year old petrol head , some say you get pinned for oldest subscriber !!!
Fully feel your pain on the steering wheel topic. When I was fixing up cars I ALWAYS ran into such problems and thought it was just me. I am amazed you keep so smiling and cheerful! Keep going.
Had the same problem with steering wheel...much happier solution is to buy flat bottom steering wheel off b8 facelift or a5 facelift...different buttons as well than on tt or a3...still need modifications but works in the end...anyway good video bro keep goin ;)
Only just realised you have not hit 100k subs yet! I was so surprised, youll be one of the next big hits coming out of the UK! big inspiration for those of us just starting our RUclips channels!
Another great vid keeping me entertained during lockdown, thank you for keeping me sane for those few mins and look forward to the Q5 updates too. Keep it up. P.s. what’s wrong with the fake wood interior 😀
You've gotta love Mat.A true Petrolhead's scenario. Makes an 'essential journey' to buy groceries and comes back empty handed - Car works fine though : ) Great video!
My advise to you on that motor, do a walnut blast on the valves and clean the injector tips, they get full of wet nasty carbon really badly. It will help with misfires and cold start misses also.
Hi Mat, I came up with a few ideas to improve the look of your S5: 1) led light upgrade for the interior; 2) aluminum pedal upgrade; 3) dynamic blinkers for the mirrors; 4) replacing the current gear knob with the facelift version (if it fits); 5) 5D or 6D carbon fiber wrap for the trims. Good job so far, keep it up!
Matt you have a quality performance Audi, running costs are bound to be higher than a small runabout. Just like you I love my Audi. Be careful when washing the engine bay. I have a colleague who had water ingress between a electrical connector. It played havoc with the engine running for weeks. Other than that NGK coil packs are a premium product. I used to use NGK spark plugs way back when 3.0 and 2.8 injection Capris were a affordable performance car........that was in my youth.
do you think that it might actually be the buttons? maybe the connectors are gone, the contacts etc? try swapping out the actual buttons perhaps ? and that race is still on offer ;)
Once you eliminate spark plugs and coils it points to injector failure or blockage, the older tfsi were common cor carbon build up within the Intake manifold
Something that I think you should look into is the b8.5 LED light bar tail light conversion, if you have a vagcom its literally a case of buy lights, buy plug adapter and type a few numbers into vagcom and hit enter, not to mention they look amazing with a light smoke wrap
Mate just the colour 💙 and the sound 🔊 that absolute beast makes is worth every penny no matter how much 👌p. S the inside wrap would have been cool in the blue but still looks better 👍
That sounds amazing. Great job on that, just wrap the splitter and mirrors to finish. Can you do a video where you list the cost of everything all together?
You and that steering wheel just like me on a golf GTD steering wheel all bloody day play my hair out ended up going at the end to a place called hazy days in Surrey I believe within two hours well done good luck
@@Gubster07 That level should be at max when the car is cold. That's technically not a overflow tank. That is a pressurized coolant reservoir. That level doesnt change much in that tank if hot or cold.
M T Well I guess its different since its an Audi haha, on my Subi its a little below the low level when cold but when warmed up its almost at the high level
Great work man. Nice to see it all coming together. I have a Q7 2010 that I’m going to get remapped and do a few mods to. Have you looked at fitting LED dome and reading light. Keep up the great work and hope you all stay safe and well. 👍👍😊
Hi Mat, great channel and content. I notice you have a lack of number plate on the front end of the TT and the S5. Does this present a problem with the law or do you just risk it ? If stopped would you just say they have fallen of, maybe ? Keep up the great work and many thanks.
Commented it on previous videos already but I like the idea of you keeping the splitter and mirrors the stock colour, makes the car stand out a bit more and look classier IMO, of course it’s your car and your choice though!
I think my reasoning is that having all the trim blacked out just makes it look a bit like any old black edition a5, the alloy splitter and chrome mirrors scream that it’s an S model
You've said in previous video's you aren't a mechanic?! Mate you're a total baller, I'd fuck up everyone of the jobs done. Fuck sake you wrapped a car. Legend.
Getting a few comments about the spark plugs ... They were changed in this video ➡️ruclips.net/video/w5SGcDC92Ig/видео.html
Does your Audi have any price 😎

@Demetrios Christopher 🙌🙌🙌👍👍
PCV Valve?
Hi Mat you have to code the stearing wheele for the buttons to work
Mate you’ve gained like 50k followers in the last 2 months, sick to see bro and we’ll deserved 👏🏽 I enjoy your vids
Because of AUDI!!👍🤝🤝🤝

cheers mate
Which engine does your a5 have ?
@@danielveres5021 a 3.0 tdi one. chiptuned to stage 1+ (300 hp+) 👍🏻 I made an acceleration video on my channel.
Kağan Gürsoy nice, i‘ll watch it. Did you have any problems with the car since the stage 1 ?
@@danielveres5021 did get a DPF warning, I changed the sensor and never an error since then. They also tuned up the shifting gear or clutch.. dont remember it anymore 🤭
Same
No don’t wrap mirrors n splitter it looks sweet like that!!!
yes agree
Totally agree!
Keep those shiny mirrors!
Great car , I'd leave the mirrors and splinter silver it's a nice contrast, too much black would be a tad boring. Enjoying your vids 👍
i agree
Agreed!
Totally agree!
Agree silver mirrors mean high end on Audi's
👍
Love it mate, keepin a positive attitude during this weird time in history. Cheers.

Dudes on his way to the top! Good taste in cars and mods keep it up
Major respect for wrapping it black and not fake carbon fibre
Love your enthusiasm Mat! Think that colour is rank, but hey! Each to their own.
Possibly the best British car content channel on RUclips certainly best crack
This guy is unbelievable he’s literally good at everything
Anybody else blowin away with th effort he puts in ? Fair play love watching
I admire your knowledge Mat! Please keep up the videos!
I think I found your first few vids when you had only 100 ish followers. Well done mate!
Well done mate impressive what you’ve done with this car!
I think the wingmirrors and splitter looks ace in sliver
Another great vid keeping me entertained during lockdown, thank you for keeping me sane for those few mins and look forward to the Q5 updates too. Keep it up. P.s. what’s wrong with the fake wood interior 😀

😂 😂 😂
Wow you been really growing congrats man good to see now hopefully this will motivate you to make more videos 👍
The part number on the sketchy one definitely relates directly to ignition coils when googled
No problems with my A5! Bought it cheap 2nd owner with a manual box and the V6 engine is enough, more fun when you change gear.
I'm not a car guy at all, but yet I enjoy your video content Matt so thanks .
Get the FL gear knob in. Looks so much better with a round knob.
Man you have the patience of a saint, watched all ur Vids since you bought this, great job 👌
My advise to you on that motor, do a walnut blast on the valves and clean the injector tips, they get full of wet nasty carbon really badly. It will help with misfires and cold start misses also.
Let’s get ya to 10k! Really enjoy your vids man. Keep killing it!
"Ah your meant to have Bosch wah wah wah" 😂😂😂😂
Just bought one for the wife and you videos will come in handy 😉🚗
Top notch vid as always dude. Get more out whilst we are in lockdown! I'm living vicariously through them until I decide on my project!
Them 50 horsiiessss came back purring back! 😍😉👊🏻
Mat you and I both know the joy and pain of owning Audi.
Greg McGee trust me 😂😂😂
Love the car but why did Audi fit that shifter stick.. makes the interior look older than it is.... wonder if it can be changed? Greats vids cheers
he should get the RS Shifter, on ebay they are quite common.
@@EmirDemirovski or s tronic shifter
@@tommior9553 yeah defintely that too, just ditch that ugly automatic one.
keep it up man, much respect from the U.S.
Hey scar, just checked out your vehicle disinfecting video. Surprised you don't have a million views seeing what's going on. Keep at it man.
@@joemartin3240 i saw it also, crazy its not blowing up seeing how things are
@@joemartin3240 thank you for the support
@@ramdaily2701 thanx for the sub man

Recently subbed and love the S5 videos. I‘m staying till this steering wheel is on that S5 haha. No way you can‘t fix that thing.
Great video! I would get the injectors tested common problem on tfsi/fsi engines r tech in Hinksey offer this service
keep these vids going please Mat , i am still working and its xxxxxxx xxxx but your uploads keep me going at tea up 🙂
Matt you have a quality performance Audi, running costs are bound to be higher than a small runabout. Just like you I love my Audi.

Great Video like always! Here since 15k my man, you deserve It
Most consistently good content creator, keep it up mate really enjoying the progress
You make everything look easy 🤣 my hands end up bleeding after doing jobs on the car , another top vid mate 👍🏻
Splitter and side view mirrors look great with the gray color.
do you think that it might actually be the buttons? maybe the connectors are gone, the contacts etc? try swapping out the actual buttons perhaps ? and that race is still on offer ;)
Mat leave the splitter and mirrors how they are adds brilliant contrast looks awesome
It may be true about programming the wheel to the car, look into it a little more. Good luck
Thanks for the upload Matt, great content, and production. It keeps me sane 🔥👍😀🔥👍😀
I love your videos bro, keep the content blowing out 👊🏼
The interior wrap is very bad bro, why not try carbon fiber wrap instead.
S Y it was cheap stuff you can tell. Carbon wrap would look much better. Gremlin.
Why not lick it
@@jamielegg8553 ur comment will be reported and dealt with no worries.
I spray painted the plastics in my car and it came out looking like factory spec
or better try a alcantara/suede wrap
Love the new camera angel looks very different
Black Mirros and Splitter would look good. I reckon things look best in 3s. Body, trim, calipers. Blue, black and yellow. 👌🏼

Just all your videos! Excited about the Q5!
That V8 sound is just... Eargasmmmm
Matt please post more! Love the videos and once a week isn’t enough for me 😂😂 thanks for what you do mate!
mate your one of the best car tubers out here in the UK, you need to get a mk1 mx5 and fuck about with that as a drift car ;)
I'm just commenting to pay: RESPECT
🙌🙌🙌
Ok so finished binging this up to date in one day 😂 great content cant wait to see the next one
Can’t lie the front looks 🔥 🔥🔥
Love the Vids 🙌🏼. Only true OGs will understand that this steamed from the Fire of London...
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 A
That sounds amazing. Great job on that, just wrap the splitter and mirrors to finish. Can you do a video where you list the cost of everything all together?
OliverWiseFitness did you watch the whole video?
Great wrapping inside looks fantastic
Awesome video. Cheers from New Zealand. I have the same S5 looking forward to your next video.
Here is a video idea for lockdown, could do a bit of a garage renevation? This way you get to get organised and we get some content! win win!
Car is looking great mate 👌
Man please keep it up with videos ,they are so intresting to watch
I just realized that you may just be a british Moog from Mcm 😁 great vids mate!
You and that steering wheel just like me on a golf GTD steering wheel all bloody day play my hair out ended up going at the end to a place called hazy days in Surrey I believe within two hours well done good luck
8:04 need to top the coolant up mate aha x
JackyT lol not exactly, thats the overflow tank for when the coolant heats up and expands. Once the car is warmed up, thats when you check the level.
@@Gubster07 That level should be at max when the car is cold. That's technically not a overflow tank. That is a pressurized coolant reservoir. That level doesnt change much in that tank if hot or cold.
M T Well I guess its different since its an Audi haha, on my Subi its a little below the low level when cold but when warmed up its almost at the high level
thanks for the video. enjoy all so far.
keep em coming.
cheers from NY
Amazing content mate own an s5 3.0 amazing cars- not so cheap to run tho
Can't wait for the next vid I want to see all the costs etc
Really like the series man keep it up!!
That’s sorted that mate 🍻👍
Loving the vids !!! Keep going lad !!! Next project definitely
Matt, dont wrap those mirrors or splitter, they look fit like that 👌👌
I had aluminium mesh trims, they look so nice too!
I liked the faux wood trim
.
.I mean I am 54 ,but I still liked it better than plain black😀
Great work man. Nice to see it all coming together. I have a Q7 2010 that I’m going to get remapped and do a few mods to. Have you looked at fitting LED dome and reading light.

I am very impressed with your work!!
love your channel more and more! keep up the great work! also really like your "S5+" or "S5 R" or however you wanna call it...
I’ve done the same steering wheel upgrade on my Audi A5, you’ve got the wrong steering wheel hence why the buttons are not working.
I believe the part number for the correct steering wheel is 8K0419091AB
For a steering wheel upgrade will an Audi A5 steering wheel need to be put on?
Aneem S yes either an A4 or A5 one
