I'm not really sure I understand this project if the guts of the flooded car were good enough to put in the other one surely would make more sense just to fix the bits in the flooded car that need fixing it's a better car and it's probably worth more money fixed than the other one?
@@McKluskie not allowed to fix it. It’s a cat B car so it’s not allowed back on the road.
@@SavingSalvage ok I must have missed you saying that.
You do know @thehumblemechanic is doing the same thing right now;) like the Daza loom wiring is srsly up just recently...;)
Do you still have the wheels ? I be interested in buying those from you
Regarding the seats you should most certainly get them deep cleaned with a vac steamer because the problem is not the leather but the underlaying foam which could be holding a lot of fungus
they have to be stripped down to the frame,and deep cleaned.
Exactly - and the inside of the leather will also be holding mould. They need to be fully stripped as you've said - though might be easier just to buy another set that hasn't been flooded
It can be a health hazard if black mold develops in the foam, its extremely poisions for your lungs and increases the chances of lung cancer and other serious airway pathologies. This is from a medical point of view of course.
I came here to say the same thing. Black mould. Super bad for your health. Foams need to be replaced.
Working for OEM, in my experience bad weather in Australia has had a few drain tube blocked Tiguans water damaged. Part of VW repair procedure and some OHS regulations, we are required to remove leather, assess foam for mould replace or dry out and deep clean where it can be. In some cases VW has offered to replace car seats contaminated by mould.
Those seats are sus. Please check the foam under seat cover, dont make your self sick with mold.
Dean as others have said their seats are scrap, unless you can strip off the leather wash all the sponge and thoroughly dry, they are going to harbour all sorts of fungus and mould ... SCRAP THEM
Just with the wiring, Humble mechanic did a DAZA swap to a MK7.5R recently and I'm pretty sure it's the same platform. The wiring video he just did could give you some insights should you need it. Really enjoying the series so far!
“The engine jizzed everywhere” 😂😂😂😂😂
Love the honesty Dean; frustration, mistakes it's all shown and the fact that someone with your skill and knowledge suffers the same setbacks as those less fortunate is an inspiration.
Hello from Ireland again, Dean. I cant believe that you got that Engine and Gearbox into the Skoda. Well done, massive Brakes and disks on it. You're a bloody Legend at this Stuff, lol 😆 😂. Keep up the brilliant work 👏 👍 💪 💯🇮🇪
use a leather conditioner on those seats, just keep applying it, it should rehydrate the leather and stop them from cracking
I did just that! I will probably get them retrimmed with VRS in the headrest
@@SavingSalvage You can use some of your misses’ moisturiser if you run out of proper stuff. She might kill you though 😂
Put cheap oil in the engine. Cycle the oil pump manually for some time. Do that 2 times. Then you should have all the water out & you can start the engine with proper new clean quality oil.
How is the cheap oil going to collect the water? Better off putting a vacuum pump into the engine to boil off the water.
Just tare the engine apart….
You might have cleaned the leather but the foam inside those seats will be minging, definIte biohazard, expect a stinky skoda later down the line
Agree. We all saw the state of the rear squab, the front seats will be the same if not worse, the frame will be rusty and the airbags are probably u/s.
The results from the ice blasting are crazy!
This vrs is going to be epic dean , as a former skoda mechanic I'm seriously enjoying this build, keep up the great work 👍
A trick that I have seen on several channels is to pour 2T oil into the cylinders. Apart from being fine enough to reach all the corners that are needed, it is designed to be burned, so any residue left when you start the engine will quickly disappear...
Hope you check the foams underneath the seat covers for flood damage
"Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it"
Glad you just took more or less everything off it.
Will definitely help you for the Skoda install..
Have a look into a guy on RUclips called the humble mechanic he’s just freshly done a DAZA swap in his mk7.5 golf r and he’s done the wiring to a T
Hes just done a video explaining exactly what he did to make that build today also.
Top channel, maybe a bit social media-ishy childish at times but that doesn’t take away the quality of the work he does
It's also great to see a lovely car live again. Much respect to you 👌
i used to think that sandblasting is the best but after seeing ice blasting here and on Mat Armstrong's channel, I am convinced ice blasting is neat, tidy and does an excellent job
I hate saying this, but seriously mate you need to remove that ring when you work. If you ever have anything drop on your hand that ring will be a very painfull bit of gear to take off. Trust me i had to remove one of a workmate and he was in some really serious pain.
It’s a rubber ring for that exact reason bud
@@SavingSalvage magic
Great viewing content Dean, the gushing cylinders were very entertaining... for us at least....Waiting to see this engine start now.....🤔😳😳😏🇬🇧
Great looking car, when it’s not got a biome starting life inside of it 😂
love this project, I don't know much about cars but love your content, good luck with it!
Much appreciated!
Too be honest it’s the water ingress in the foam padding that will cause you a problem defo will get mould in them and when dry will go into the air after a while but can’t wait too see this on the road 👍
skoda is gonna be a beast when its done. love this serie
The humble mechanic just put up a full video discussing the wiring he did on his dazza swap to a golf. He meticulously documented it so might be useful
I make cinema chairs and I can tell you once chairs have been damp and moldy like that for a long time the foam inside will be full of mold. If you put those chairs in the skoda you will regret it later.
Been with you since your early days. Great project and video Dean. Subscribers shooting up too
Always nice to see you working your magic!
I really hope that you won't have to fight all problems with the computer not recognising all different bits and pieces as its swapped, but I am convinced that you have taken that in consideration 👏👏👍👍😊
Nice video again. You made a lot off progress on this conversion. I hope it will run that easy also 🤞
Very Impressive how the ice blasting cleaned those seats....I never thought that crud would come off...👍
I hope all those con rods are still straight and the engine wasn't running and hydrolocked in the crash...... That binding when you were turning the engine by hand was worrying. I'd have had took the block off while it was out and changed them just in case.
Great progress in this video Dean, well done. Ice blasting results are impressive 👍
You missed the link from "top right hand corner" from the beginning. At least I didn't see it.
Another good video, keep it up and if you go on humble mechanic everything you need to know about swapping Audi RS3 engine into VW golf r 👍
Great series!!, looking forward to seeing this run and then the 4wd conversion!! 😃
The results of ice blasting is really awesome. I not sure about the long term effects on the metal components. I work in the Aerospace industry and I'd think the massive sudden temprature change would fatige the metal.
CO2 blasting is safe for metallic components. There is no risk of fatigue - as this usually involves hundreds of thousands to several million load cycles. A rapid burst of cooling gas will not have any impact on the metal's strength. This is my view as a forensic metallurgist.
😬can’t wait for the next video on this to see if it runs🤞🏼👍🏼
Coming along nicely, but as others have said the fiam in them seats could be harbouring some nasties and id expect the funbags to be toast too
If the seats are so hard on the Nappa leather Dean, why not get some leather feed and rub that into the seats to soften them and stop them from cracking poorly in the future?
Just discovered your channel and just loving the videos man too good ❤❤
Wow you've been busy, looks like it's going well.👍
Absolutely amazing Dean, nothing seems to faise you in your quest to build a Skoda RS3 estate. It will be a wonderful machine if you manage to complete it. In reference to the seats, they look fine but not only do the underneath foams have germs and residue of flood water but it is a nasty mix of water and sewage! (Poo!!)
My 2c . I thing you you give that seats a good leather care it will make it even more nice
This is getting exciting Dean, really looking forward to hear that engine zoom past the camera 😄.
Will the seats not start to smell through the foam padding being saturated in water...and possibly create damp in new car...
I will make sure seats are fully dry before install.
You should have taken the wiring harness aswel dean especially the engine bay harness
I did 😁
Dean, Matt said something the other day that struck me ,He said to a doctor being a mechanic is like being a surgeon . And the doctor said have you ever tried fixing a car whilst its still running alive .big difference .
Not sure where you’re going with this 😂
@@SavingSalvage a surgeon fixes a body whilst its still running its just what matt said .
In answer to your question. Probably easier to undo the locking ring with the tank fixed in place. So good choice. Even if you don’t know why you did it 😂
Dean..Look up mannol oil..Cheap as chips..Ideal for flushes
You inspired me. I've tried to rewire my rsv4 brake lights and indicators and I'm lost. You inspired me. I lost the battle. But I did manage to change the the radiator fan 😂😂❤ little wins
Good vid, sorry if I missed it, but couldn’t you take more of the Audi? Bonnet, wings, doors etc
21.42 minutes, oil being pushed out of the cleaned engine. Is anyone surprised? It was good with the magic mixture in the cylinders. I would probably have filled a new oil filter with oil and installed it there, and filled the engine with the right amount of oil as well. Lubrication is important. Interesting movie.
I recon the seats are a lost cause unfortunately. They look great but I would imagine the foams underneath are holding a ton of water and mould and other nasty stuff and i would imagine the frames aren’t in great condition either. Prob best to keep the Octavia original seats or change them for second hand rs3 ones from elsewhere
Great video and progress, how did you know the audi engine and subframe woudl fit perfectly in the skoda?
They all share the MQB platform so the chassis is the same 🙌🏼
Sorry if its already been said, surely thats a 'jizzer' engine swop not a dasser?😅
Sure you’ll work it out anyway, but Humble Mechanic has done an RS3 swap into a mk7 golf and done the wiring loom - might save some time.
The Husqvarna in the background 🥺😍
Great progress Dean
I really appreciate how your builds show every aspect of fixing and repairing these vehicles. It's why I started watching M.A. and then your channel. I live in the U.S., so some of the cars are different, but interesting all the same. Maybe one I'll get the opportunity to visit the U.K. and wrench on something. Until then, I'll keep watching your videos.
Another good video. Great explanation good job Dean👍
RUclipsrs keep ice cleaning companies in business
Hi Dean. I suspect that this is why you used the hole saw anyway, but you didn't mention it in the video. Do you need to weld a sleeve in that hole for the engine mount, or does the rs3 one come with some sort of spacer? Just thinking of the two walls of the rail crushing together when you boot the mount in. Love the channel.
Use Mink oil on the seats. They’ll soften up like new 🙌🏻
I don’t now what anyone else thinks by I was gutted to still spot the TVR sat in the corner!
Come on Dean
Dean this is the best build you will do and it won’t be topped for next 5 years 😅
Blimey you take lot stuff on brilliant , that ice cleaning is Amazing ..👍
Would be nice if you setup email notification when next COMPETITIONS starts
Im convinced this engine is gunna blow a whole in its block...it needs a thorough strip down to ensure all water is removed
Do the seat have airbags? I would worry about the condition of the detonator.
Will it start, next time and what about the water damage? Can't wait to see this one finished, fingers crossed.
Cylinder leak down test 100 percent needed! that engines probably done
Great work Dean as always. 👍👍👍👍
Love the build . This will be awesome when done .
Where did you expect the water in the cilinder to go to lol
Hi, now it's finished, where's the results for the Defender draw ?
Be good to see a drag race at Santa pod you vs Calvin car diary in his full rebuild m3 touring sure he’s modded it as well at vrs
Interested to know how you will go with insuring the car when it's finished - is it a Skoda or an Audi..?
Is the Skoda in the VW group for us State side people that not familiar with Skoda?
Apart from the drivers door being butchered for access, were none of the other panels any use to you for later builds or to sell on?
Loving the content.
Still wondering where the TVR and GTR are though 🤔
awesome work Dean
I'm watching a VW Frankenstein - Its fantastic.
Man, those seats shouldn’t go anywhere near you are inside that car. They will have lots of fungus and horrible bacteria that can cause you serious harm, especially if they’ve been submerged in sewage or drainage water.
Since they are damaged from the ice blasting, just bin them.
Can’t wait for the next episode on this swap.
Hi Dean put some leather food on those seats it will make them soft again 👍
Excellent video mate. Love the content 👍🏻😊
If someone hasn’t already suggested this, you could rename the ŠKODA
Call it a Tritavia RS
In tribute to the RS3 Powerplant.
Make a nice day craft… I take it that it floats, or there about. 🤣👍🏻
Can’t wait for part 3 dean
The foam in them seats will be rotten?
Get that chassis hole sleeve welded
Seats end up nicely, but I'm wondering if the smell is still there
that skoda is going to fly great job
Finally… someone who knows what WD-40 is! Bravo! 😂
Hold on a second !! Is that a TVR in the background ? 😮
Where is the washer bottle going to go, now you've used the mounting bracket...?
I forgot to mention I took the one off the RS3 that goes in the wheel arch
Whose a brave lad. Best of skills to you. Cheers.
Love your watch band!
Are vains ok on turbo is it electronic actuator ??? Any resistance will put a light on dash worth checking why off
Well done wrestling that lot back in on your own.
