My aunt has a Q5 and I told her not to buy one. But she insisted on buying one with 30,000 miles. Now at 65k miles..having turbo issues like I told her
if you drive a turbo car like a n/a car, it will have issues, i did a timing chain replacement on a '13 gti that has over 300k miles, everything was original, guy knew how to drive it and take care of it
@@retrocompaq5212 What you just said “Guy KNEW how to drive it” That’s what people don’t understand about Vehicles in General. And that’s very important.
@@retrocompaq5212- I just sold my ‘13 GTI. Owned since new. The car was bulletproof. APR tune, intake, exhaust and H&R rear anti-sway bar. No issues. No expenses beyond normal consumables. I always followed maintenance. Was a great car.
dude i work on these cars for a living, i own a v6t sq5, never in my life ive seen a control arm pinch bolt that was not completely stuck, im pissed rn lol... i wish i was closer i have a compete sunshade with the mecanism in stock
My roommate lost a title and used Kansas Vehicle Title Services to get it the next day. It just cost $25 compared to the State's $10 which isn't bad considering how long the State said it would take to arrive.
Thanks for the worthwhile watching. Frustrations happen. Succeeding at being kind and patient, especially with yourself, might very well be the biggest 'profit' you end up with here.
Well I love your work ethics ! Glad you like working at the wizard shop with cool projects ! Don’t sweat the small stuff I’m sure at some point when the part shows up we will get an update! 👍🏻😁
it's called "life" daniel! and "life" happens.. never let it get ya down bro just keep on rollin through it! keep up with the channel! you are lucky to have such a cool boss as the "wizard" who probably told you start your channel in the first place! lol and lets ya do it in the shop! im surprised your phone works as well as it does to film the stuff you do for the channel! 👍👍
As Car Ninja just said in his last video:'' Buy only OEM parts'' Lesson learned ? Tomorrow will be a better day, take my word...Been there,done that....Shit happens almost weekly even after 40 years in my job...
I just did from control arms on my B5 A4 this weekend. That was an all day job crawling around in the garage floor getting filthy. 😊 I feel your pain when it comes to putting stuff in a “safe place.” Drives me insane!
Right there with you. Did my B5 control arms a couple years ago. I live in the rust belt and had one heck of a time removing the cross-bolt on the spindle. The bolt head broke off on both sides. Some heat and a long punch worked to extract them, but added hours to the job. I put plenty of anti-seize grease on the replacement bolts. Glad I did, because I had to replace one of the control arms a second time due to a bad ball joint at the spindle - yay, cheap Chinese parts. This time the bolt easily came out. Nice job!
So, on duplicate work just video half the job and just move on after the other side is done. Legit does that and he’s does the quick cut on tightening/loosening bolts (one to one to one, etc.), which is kind of neat. Keep up the good work. And yes, Hoovies twelver rebuild soon.😊
That was great ! Ha ha, I think we've all been there where we put something aside, and then can find it ( I put a new pair of shoes aside in an 80 sq metre apartment, and I can't find then. What the hell ! ). I recommend asking a woman to find it. Without fail, they'll find it in 5 minutes, and then give you that "stupid man" look as they walk away :)
5:25 *WHAT* ?? you lucker! that screw is in the german petrolhead community called the asshole screw. Without a special tool it takes hours to get rid of it and you will call it often by its name 😁
More VW quality goods. I can't believe they charge luxury premiums for this junk. Thanks for the video, you are doing a good job, keep it up. Sorry you're having so much trouble with this pail.
if you can get one that has good maintenance with a blown engine, buy a new engine(rebuilt with b8.5 parts and metal water pump) and change the oil every 4k miles, dont drive when the engine is cold, cool down the turbo after hway ride, youll be fine for a long time... expect having issue with the control arms and steering shaft joints at one point, the v6t is more reliable but more maintenance, they still have timing chain issue, you need to install 2 check valves in the valley cover under the pcv to keep oil pressure in the tensioners when the engine is off, it will fix the issue, since the pcv is junk, get a new one too lol
**"Why you break eh the part?! Bello, Come ooooon"**
Should I make a video on Cost Vs Profit on the Audi Q5?
Nah bro. Nobody likes Audi anyways
Hell yeah!!!!!! But to do that, you're gonna need a white board!
It's not worth it, man.
Definitely.
I say yes.
I wish automaker offered a sunroof delete when ordering the car.
I hate sunroofs/moonroofs, they give all sort of problems most of the times.
i like watching the actual work being done instead of just talking about it like on the wizards channel
EXCELLENT comment here!!! Never saw Wizard's hands dirty !!! Says a lot...
That's the worst. As soon as you order a new part, you'll find the lost one... every time.
These things happen Dan, you did well and were genuine throughout as always. That really counts.
Pray you find the missing part quickly Daniel and that your back is healed.

This one had turbo issues already, and it got a new turbo a few years ago

You are doing a good job filming and editing, quality is improving with every new video.

Bro. I appreciate the very real video. Kept it honest and didn't try to make it seem like all was good. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the video
Hey, it's an Audi, it probably came from the factory with broken stuff! 😀Great explanations and level of detail as always, thanks!

@@bigdog7813 I live in Indiana, but fortunately both pinch bolts came out no problem. This set of control arms was replaced in 2013. I got lucky. :)
Hang in there ! Feel all better soon.
The trials and tribulations of being a mechanic! Keep up the great effort and we will continue watching!
Great how-to video! Always much appreciated. Thank you!
EARLY MORNING DANIEL SAN ... its lit!!!
So, on duplicate work just video half the job and just move on after the other side is done. Legit does that and he’s does the quick cut on tightening/loosening bolts (one to one to one, etc.), which is kind of neat. Keep up the good work. And yes, Hoovies twelver rebuild soon.😊
LSC has a professional video editor though... Daniel might need a few more subscribers before he can shell out for that...
We hope you find the structure rod you need/looking for.
That was great ! Ha ha, I think we've all been there where we put something aside, and then can find it ( I put a new pair of shoes aside in an 80 sq metre apartment, and I can't find then.

Stuff happens! Keep at it and Don't get too discouraged! Cool video!
That’s crazy how sun shade is designed
A neighbor also has a Q5 with the same chrome grill bubble issue. Weird.
More VW quality goods. I can't believe they charge luxury premiums for this junk. Thanks for the video, you are doing a good job, keep it up. Sorry you're having so much trouble with this pail.
Keep on working man! Videos looking good sir
Great video Daniel San!!! 👍👍🙂
Sometimes you just have to step away a little bit and come back with a set of fresh eyes to continue. :-) Hope you found the part!!!
Car ninja has had same experience with sun shade, he'd tell you how to install it.
Stuff happens when you try to save customers money.
Bed rest is the worst thing for back problems.
Daniel, don't you miss Tampa? Florida tax office prints the titles right there on the spot
An Audi with problems and broken parts? Sounds like the standard Audi ownership experience.
Things happen and we have to deal with them, keep safe and nice job 👍🏽
Try to resist hammering things with your hands, it's bad in the long term
Never put a rebuild up fo sale until you put 1000 trouble free miles on it.
That’s too bad the rod the slides into fabric got lost. If you have idea of size maybe a aluminum rod from hardware store.
Woo dandote cariño desde PR exito en tu canal
Y btw de q pueblo de PR eres o eras 😂
Mayagüez y Gracias!!
Wizzy can't fix the 4 door Malibu. Do the old man a favor and fix this car for him. Wizzy has added it to the give-up pile of cars or busses he has.
Chrome delamination: only other time I've seen it was on a Hyundai Elantra from 2008... Audi Audi... What have you become? :(
Have you given up on Hoovies Ferrari engine? It has been a month.
This Q5 is such a "Nice Looking" vehicle but my common sense says stay clear.
if you can get one that has good maintenance with a blown engine, buy a new engine(rebuilt with b8.5 parts and metal water pump) and change the oil every 4k miles, dont drive when the engine is cold, cool down the turbo after hway ride, youll be fine for a long time... expect having issue with the control arms and steering shaft joints at one point, the v6t is more reliable but more maintenance, they still have timing chain issue, you need to install 2 check valves in the valley cover under the pcv to keep oil pressure in the tensioners when the engine is off, it will fix the issue, since the pcv is junk, get a new one too lol
I sent the Ins message, not sure if you can see it.
never buy a car with a sun roof .. 👌
What a ride :)
❤
NEVER use Chinese parts.
The wizard is a shit-tier mechanic and you know it, open your own workshop
i have the same issue, it not free, it needs alot of cash, energy and time
