I BOUGHT A STOLEN AUDI RS4 WHICH DOESN'T WORK!! *BIG RISK*

In today's video I spend the money from the BMW M2 competition and Golf Gti and buy a stolen Audi RS4 Carbon Black, but how much will it cost to get running?

The cut 'wire' is nothing, it's a bit of string used for QC at the factory when they check for water ingress. It's found all over the interior used behind trims. But you're right about the tracker, thats where they're installed, that's why the carpets cut. As for the gateway, that's got an embedded sim, which receives your data from the Audi back end server such as web services, remote unlocking from the myaud app, last location etc which is why the theives removed it, hence why your MMI isn't working and the dash is showing component protection.

they cut the carpet looking for a tracker as the starter cut is in that fuse box and feeds are quite often taken from that fuse box. the lose wire is a airel for the keyless entry and start.
the module will also be for the telematics and removing it will stop the factory tracker working.
Nice car for the channel

This is if not already fast becoming my favourite channel on YouTube. You need ya own show, you showing some major bollocks doing what you do . My only complaint is and I'm sure I speak for all ...Not enough videos . I find myself wanting to watch one after the other just to see how things turn out, literally can't wait. Congratulations on everything.

Always ready for more audi content. Hope the rs6 c6 will show up again on the channel

Great work dean. Big risk at that money. The Only problem i find with stolen recovered cars is they are never worth hpi clear money as it’s so easy to find it’s been stolen with sites like total car check for £4. Then it instantly puts people off wanting to buy for the same price as a non stolen one and it will always have that stigma. Get it raffled off.

[Baconroll]

Stunning car Dean. Looking forward to this project. I predicted you'd bought it for £25k

[fkwa]

You were due some good luck, you were incredibly brave at £40k, well done!

[paulmason-xzero]

I guessed £29k obviously way off, lol. It’ll be a beautiful car once all squared away. Look forward to seeing it restored to full glory.

Diagnose Dan's latest video gives a good explanation of what a gateway module does.In this case removing the gateway module will rob the tracking device of the information it needs to function by shutting down all the modules within the car.

[toafy]

The Gateway module in any VW / Audi is the communication gate to the vehicles network, if it’s dead or missing the car will be completely dead. See this in many stolen vw group cars, will need correct software to function correctly

Dean you are one of my favourite channels. The content you are putting out is unreal. Just grabbed some tickets for the RS3

[chrisbirchall]

That looked like a headache until you fitted the new control unit, stunning car 👌

[agispapadopoulos]

this is kinda of repairs I enjoy the most. awesome video thanks Dean!!

[Seeyoujimmy]

Superb easy fix the gateway can probably component protected so of you've access to odis remove the protection then code it to car hopefully take it out safe mode

[PatrickGreen-oc]

Just found this channel and I'm loving it

Great video Dean, interesting car and nice colour too. I know you've explained a bit but perhaps you could tell us what checks you do on stolen cars like this one, my dad always used to say cars in the 90s (from police experience)could be "sabotaged" with needles and other nasty stuff. Do you carefully check physically or do Copart do that and guarantee it? I'm also fascinated by the how and why the car was stolen. My thoughts would be they didn't realise the rarity of the colour? Could have been an error, and do you think you'll get to the bottom of what they were looking for and indeed have you located a tracker? Finally as an "armchair" mechanic, are you going to look at the "running history" of the car, especially when stolen and perhaps share what the thieves did, ie how fast ? How long? In a pursuit? Soz for being an anorak! I like the car, but the only RS for me in your premises is a Rallye Sport one!!! Best wishes, Ben 🇬🇧🇺🇦🚌🚐

[baileybob]

Dean your vids are just so cool mate no messing about screaming down camera proper buzzing it started be worth some tickets for this when sorted ….

[DmDx]

Hey, dont need to take it to the dealer. Just buy a vcds its easy to code. Gateway needs to be programed to whats inside your car should be pretty easy to find out

[petecurran]

Full power jaminess there, squire!
Pretty sure that once all modules are installed as intended, the gateway can be coded accordingly.
🙌🏼💪🏻

[markcfullam]

Ooooh, nice little find there Dean. Looks epic and a lovely motor. Glad you managed to get it started and hopefully just a re-code plus the carpet and other little pieces to get it back to normal! nice one mate!
