Thanks for watching and see you next time!

Without a doubt the clearest, most well structured car tutorial video I've ever seen. I don't even know how you managed to replicate the sounds and smoke colours. It was so convincing! Bravo!

[evancurtiss]

That poor little audi 🤣. It is a good teacher. The production value, and effort put into this is studio quality. I'm amazed. Props!

Thanks to this video I found out that I don t have a trubo .

[MadLadCustoms]

I like your style of presenting, subbed.

This is fantastic! Replicating multiple different sounds and smoke is something that I've never seen before on YouTube videos.
My car is currently cutting out immediately after it starts up, but when I disconnect the turbo actuator, or the wiring connector to the actuator, it starts just fine, but obviously runs a bit weird driving without the turbo. And the actuator is not sticking either, and I just cleaned out the turbo last year.

That Audi has all sorts of problems, white smoke, blue smoke, hissing, whistling, I am amazed... Kidding, great video, best I could find, thank you! Subscribed!

[compassioncompany]

The best tutorial I've ever seen. HUGE THANK YOU for actually including demonstrations of the issues/sounds.

You are the best i have ever seen. I know much about car mechanics but my friend you make everything so clear even for one that knows absolutely nothing about his car. Congratulations.

No fuss straight talking precise .information. simple .well done

OOK. U.K

[trillcollins]

Welp, this confirms it..my turbo is going bad lol. Now I need to decide whether I rebuild it, buy a used stock OEM turbo, or buy a new turbo all together. Great video! You cant help but trust a man dressed like that!

This is my first time seeing or indeed, watching your videos. You covered a lot in five minutes. Very impressed with the amount of detail from each possible symptom of a turbo problem.

He is better than many other university lecturers who are boringly theoretical

Very informative video bro, I have a 2002 Audi a4 and I'm experiencing most of these issues. Lack of power, White smoke from exhaust and turbo making a type of screaming noise. At first, I thought It could be the head gasket and I'm still not completely sure it isn't but after watching this I think it's the turbo. Appreciate the help man!

im jealous of how cool robin looks, hes like a chill guy from the 80s, but without the baseball jacket and instead a farmer look . (the belt is on point)

[johnguambo]

Bro, you and chris fix are true automotive doctors. Cheers all the way from Papua new Guinea🇵🇬

[alvesthegreat]

Love your style... no fanfare just calm and u earned a sub

I have seen many videos, your videos are the best and clearest about turbochargers. No doubt oil is very important for a turbocharger to work and last long time. In m case I have bought a BMW. After 20000km the turbocharger crash. When Ifollowed the service history, I found from 2015 to 2016 the car has driven over 40000km on the same oil. And from 2016 to 2017 passed over 43000km. No wonder my car has got a lot turbocharger problems. When I have a twin turbocharger in my car. I have two turbocharger the small one is high pressure and the big one is low pressure. There are two pair electronic ventils, 1 pressure converter and 1 charger pressure regulatorventil for the high pressure, 1 pressure converter and 1 charger pressure regulatorventile for the low pressure. So when my car do not accellerate in the low 900-2000 rpm the two components converter and regulatorventil may be faulty. If the turbocharger do no work from 2000 rpm and up the other pair of electronic parts are at fault. Am I right?

Thanks a lot for this video, now I know that the sound I am experience in my T5 Transporter is not a failing gearbox :)

You are one of the best mechanics that I have ever watched!you truly are a professional!
Thanks

This was by far the best educational video I've ever watched.
