I STRAIGHT PIPED THE AUDI S3 .. THEN IT BROKE!

After rebuilding the crash damaged Audi S3 for my friend liam it was time for some performance modifications! Starting with the exhaust. I fitted a valvetronic @STONEEXHAUST with an ebay downpipe and the results speak for themselves, but then i was hit with the dreaded coolant problem!

Woke up this morning to watch Mat Armstrong videos....it's dinner time now 🤣

[HenryJHutchins]

You should definitely do these longer videos Mat! Love the S3 looks great.

The hole in the exhaust is completely normal, allows for water/condensation to come out

[leeroi]

This is why Matt is the best car you tuber out here. Diagnoses and fixes all self taught! Hats off to this guy! - it’s easy to get cars and send them to others to modify then drive them around. What Matt does is a whole other level! Fair play!

If you have any more coolant issues check the coolant control solenoid/switching valve, just had the exact same issues on my s4 & changing the water pump plus thermostat didn’t fix it but that did. Gotta love audis

[JackMcNeillCars]

That water pump job was pure pain. Great video bro

[pdservices]

There is definitely a passion there concerning cars.
I have never had confidence in cars that have been fixed with the sort of damage that you deal with, but the mechanical work you do is amazing and I often wonder if main dealers or private small garages have the same enthusiasm and care of vehicles that you show on your videos.

These longer videos are still really easy to look true without skipping👌🏼 love the content mate en definitely crack on with the longer videos!!

[jamesdanielsfanpage]

Once again a terrific build! Loving this one once again!

The thing is when u undo the fuel lines on pretty much any engine you gotta crank it a bit longer cuz it takes couple of secounds for fuel to come to engine from the tank so that u didnt have to take everything apart again other than that ive been followin u since tt maan you make a very good content <3

[strikeeaglemodels]

The looks and sounds cool mate. That water pump was a complete nightmare, something mustn't of been plugged in properly. Just bought myself a S5 4.2 V8 with back box delete and we both know what they sound like Matty! 👌

[andrewbennett]

Mate you absolutely amaze me every time..looks really well given the state it was in in the beginning keep up the good work ..can't wait for the c63 updates that's gonna be a good one

[akjaat]

What a legend. This guy came from nothing to now successful. Love his content. Keep up the good work. Many more to come 🙏🏼

[backflippincow]

As a audi tech it’s always interesting to see how other people do things on their cars, but the amount of times I kept saying you don’t need to remove that or you could do it a different way to make it easier. You done a great job though, well done 👍

[SD-oigr]

The more I see the purple with the gloss black the more I fall in love with it. It’s stunning.

[alexanderghouri]

Perfect length video!! 25-30 is awesome. Feels like an episode a bit more than a quick 12 minute rush

[nvrzzero]

“replaced it with uhh.. well a brand new, second hand one” 15:02. This is why we love you Mat haha legend

To check the water pump flow take the return feed off the top of the coolant bottle unscrew the cap poke it in and turn on the engine. No flow = water pump or blockage etc…

[Trollhater-mbne]

Highs and lows no cover ups 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻 quality channel

[keezy]

This has to be the best-looking s3 I've ever seen. Keep up the great work Mat!
