I Bought 2 ABANDONED Audi A3's for £1250!

In today's video we take a little break from the Mustang whilst we're waiting for parts and tools to arrive. So we take a look at a few cars that I've had since before i started the YouTube channel that you may have seen in other videos in the backgrounds.
Copart and Ebay?

We check out why I bought them, how much they cost and whats wrong with them!

Yep would love to see a series on these two! Looks like a pair of bargains to me.

[andym]

Yes . The turbo replacement would be great .

[markguppy]

I'd like to see your progress on them both please.

Quality and finish in the A3 is superb. No other small car really competes with it. Wife bought a Sportback new in 2006 and still nothing has gone wrong with it- even the battery lasted 12 years. Would very much enjoy videos on repairs.

Please document the fix on the TDI. It's always interesting to see fixes on normal people's cars! 😊

[jeremybevan]

Your channel is interesting and you are good at explaining what you do and any jobs you do on your cars are of interest to most of us so keep putting out content.

For the indicator problem check your wire harness and your BCM MODULE, use the forscan tool. Hope this helps you out buddy:)

[deancollier]

Yeah would love to see a repair on the 170

Those PD engines are famous for oil pump issues. My Passat with the 2.0TDI had the later non chain drive pump but I changed out the balance shaft unit and turbo as it started whining at about 60k.

Now done over 148k in the car and it's still going strong. So definitely do the repair in my view. Garrett OEM turbos had for about £600 which is much less expensive than Audi direct

After rewatching first couple of minutes, looked up the Sportback. Got expired MOT from 18 months ago. Definitely needs putting back on the road. Great motorway car. 👍

Would love to see some content of the 3.2 v6 as I’ve never really seen them before

[MrZimmaframe]

Yes fix that old Audi A3, I’d like to see how you get the turbo out to replace it.

[ashlyown]

I think you should make videos on them, really does help as ive learnt a lot just from watching you

[stewartturner]

Yep would be interested in videos on both these A3s especially the one with the weird indicator fault. It has intrigued me and it looks a really smart little car and bet it goes well :-) being a 3 litre .

[brunooliveirasaintdevil]

Please repair the sportback! And if you Change the turbo please make a diy on how to Change it! Keep on the good work!

[TheSjd]

yeah definitely fixed them up. im a big audi fan and always doing similar jobs. interested to know about the indicator light isssue

[Stormy]

Do we want more quality content from you? Is the Pope a Catholic? 😁

[jamespn]

I’d liked to have seen the timing chain replacement and clutch on the 3.2. The 2.8 liter VR6 on a 2000 Golf was a kick to drive with a 6 speed manual, I bet this Audi 3.2 would be fun too.

[michaelanderson]

Be nice to see you do lower wishbones on the S3, without using a ramp!
Not all people have access and have to do on drive way with axle stands!

I had similar turbo problem with 2005 A4 TDI. Solved by Powermax Engineering updated pump kit (£471.97) Turbo rebuild to new hybrid (£414.00) and Big End Bolts (£41.86). 40 hours labour to strip, fit and repair. Car cost £3, 000.00 originally. Sold for £2, 350.00 after doing another 20k miles after repair. Not bad considering...
