    That was a good mistake. The mobile 1 filter is way better than wix. It's coming along nice! Glad to hear you want to track both cars. The TT is gonna accelerate out of the corners better with all wheel drive but if you can master it the MR2 is gonna feel better through the whole course! Can't wait to see!

    I love Walmart at 2 in the morning, I used to work evenings, I could get in and out in no time, didn't have anyone there to bother me, no waiting in line, biggest thing sometimes is you can't get down the aisle you need because the floor cleaning Zamboni is doing the floors or the stock people have the whole aisle blocked off for cleaning. rock auto is great most of the time. usually the best prices but every once in a while you can get better deals elsewhere. keep up the good work. I love watching the cars you have picked to work on. and the 2 Sarah's of course

    looks like you have a good work ethic, get the car working 100% before mods!
    Removing the sas is the right move two, those pumps are renowned for failing and the pipes under the intake crack causing pain in the ass air leaks!!! once its all done make sure you perform a boots test, making sure you have no boots leaks, boots leaks cause all kinds of running issues with these,
    Keep up the tip top work and best of luck with working in those kinda temps rather you than me ha

    A UV filter for the camera lens is good protection for splashing substances, if you get oil (or whatever) on it, you can just wash the filter with soap and water. It’s also good scratch protection and doesn’t affect exposure. Plain old plastic shopping bag to cover the camera body. Great Video, AGAIN!

    Clamp vice grips onto the shafts of the old pistons right at the top of the strut body when they are extended to use them as props while you change to the new ones. You WILL damage the piston shafts, but if the struts are already worn it's not a big loss.

      I've always had good luck just leaving the car on the ground, or pressure on the knuckle, and hit that 21mm nut with an impact gun. Done it this way on at least 4 VWAG cars and never had a problem.

    • @michaelsullivan5397
      @michaelsullivan5397 6 лет назад

      I just remove the suspension strut assembly from the vehicle, lay it on the ground, and blow the 21mm nut off with an air impact wrench while I hold the spring still with my prosthetic foot. It's a completely safe, OSHA approved way of doing it , and poses no risk of injury or damage. :)

    The forge diverter valve (BOV) is actually really good for these type of audi engines.
    And it does not leak - unlike the OEM plastic crap.
    The forge just needs to be installed properly and it will hold boost and react a lot smoother /faster to manifold pressure changes. And it is black stealth - so it is cool.

    Check the PCV system it doesn't look like its hooked up on that zoombang intake, PCV issues will make replacing the valve cover gasket pointless. Judging from the leak at the spark plug well you could have excessive crank case pressure.

    Great Video and if there is a local fabricator subbed, please whip this girl up some quality ramps. Descent base with simple wheel locks and long ramp for lower front ends. I make mine with removable pinned ramps for easy creeper use and it splits weight/size for moving them. Save her some time and a lot safer. Never completely trust a Chinese made jack stand. Keep the jack under one side or at least throw a safety block or spare tire under there just in case.

    I'm happy to see you got back to the TT...I just realised I have a spare engine for the non quattro version....if you need some spares that are compatible...errrrmmm...I'm not an expert, but you could always ask...hoses, maybe [not horses, but I have those too....but I can't send them]...I kept it for the turbo which was new and is worth as much as the engine....well, I could send something...but I live in France, so it would take some time to get to you. You might need to know the serial number, to see if the spares match...does that sound right? Professional...? Haha...no, maybe not...Please don't be offended if I ask you if anybody has ever compared you favourably to Carrie Fisher...? It struck me the other day...but you're much prettier, of course...goes without saying...How is your friend Sarah? My sister is called Sarah too....that makes three princesses, I guess...

  • @MrNicoe36cabrio
    @MrNicoe36cabrio 6 лет назад

    Hi Sarah. Good job. So it was the oil level sensor indeed. But you were lucky. German cars have German sensetive ECU's , Bosch or Siemens. Aspecially BMW and Audi ECU's are sensitive in tolerance and often will not accept Chinese sensors. You don't have to buy the oem VAG sensors but just a oem brand such as Bosch, Hella, Febi etc. They will do fine. Bmw is known for not accepting Chinese cam position sensors, crank position sensors, air mass sensors and o2 sensors. Good thing to know when your TT will have some of these problems in the future! BTW your German isn't that bad! I like the way you pronounce 11 ;-) . Dutch regards!
