The passenger headlight you got is a non-bending headlight. The missing ballast is a driver unit responsible for left-right movement of the projector. Gotta search for a bending passenger headlight :)

Please don’t put one for them fiber glass wide arch kits of the buddy. 😂😭😂😭😂

Matt is the AdamLz of the Uk but instead of drift cars he buys crashed damage cars! Always entertaining to watch!

Just a tip when you’re putting those coolant hoses on... leave the clip in the down and locked position then push it on, you should hear a click when it has latched properly. I found out the hard way 😅

KEEP DOING WHAT YOU’RE DOING!!!

When I was a younger man i worked in a body shop (2000 years ago) it always amazed me how those guys could remember where and which bolts clips etc went where and in what order. Thankfully moved away into other work but still I find it really interesting watching others do this work

I'm so happy for you man! Your channel is growing so fast! I love watching your videos. 😁

Seeing how the S5 went, you're going to smash the RS5 out of the park etc. Can't wait

You cover so much ground in one video! And do it all yourself, quality content always waiting for more videos 😎

mate, the front panel comes off complete with rads and everything all intact, you replace all your damaged bits on a bench, then install a fully built up rad pack and front panel onto the car. lots easier

we have to apreciate just how much hardwork you are putting into these builds. unreal

Gotta this is such a good video, so great to see a car KZreadr actually doing some serious work on their car, keep up the awesome videos Matt!

Mat your lively delivery on this video is excellent, paced perfectly to keep it interesting.

Just when I'm wondering what I can watch on a rainy Sunday evening, up pops a video from MA. Evening sorted.

I like how Mat makes every job seems easy, Inspiration to start fixing my dad's car.🔥💯👌😎

Matt. I’ve no idea how you gained the knowledge to dismantle such a complex motor car…….and then actually put it all back together again. It amazes me it really does. Respect.

you defo made a lot of progress on this car i can already imagine how nice it’ll look when its done 😍

Love the channel . Keep rising mate. Beast into the builds. Good to see someone that likes to work on the cars too, double content.

Absolutely smashing this project so far.... Progress is swift. Excellent content, can't wait for the next upload 👌🏻.

Love how you cram so much detail about what your doing in mate, make it seem easy for us mere mortals! 👌🏻

Amazing can’t wait for next videos i can watch you all day long Mat sometimes don’t want it to end

Man vids are so chill Keep it up bro❤️

Loved the S5 build so this will be epic!

Love the video, great coverage of all involved..... Looking forward to the next update. I have a 2013 RS5 same color

Love seeing you win Matt, keep doing what your doing and inspiring 🤟🏾

ENTERTAINING!! always a pleasure to watch, even though he talks and works at a million miles an hour!!

Just realised your format reminds me of the Ed China sections of Wheeler Dealers, but with problem solving crash damage at the same time. Well done!

Great progress in rebuilding the front end. Looking forward to the next installment. 👍

Love the videos as always mate. You are just one of those likeable characters. That looks a super complex job must have taken ages. Cant wait to see how it develops. All the research on repairs and parts must drive you insane.

Yes Mat, great video. Please you or Hannah do a video on how you remember where each bolt goes 😂. Anyone can take anything apart with enough time…putting it back together is another matter!

Good start Matt👍 The end result will be brilliant. Keep up the good work 👍

Matt, promise me that you will get Hannah front heated seats please. Don't let me down. Haha. Love it.

Good to see you bought a full suspension unit because the 100mm pinch bolt (top) can be a right nightmare to remove. Yer gettin there 👌🏻👍🏻

Love these vids so good at what you do 👌🏼

Your story really inspired me how do you know so much about cars I mean mechanically

Another quality Video Mat, keep doing what you do.

Ur enthusiasm is second to none, keep up the good work, any chance u want to fit a downpipe to my rs3 lol

Top job mate.. Just look back when you first started and look what you doing now.. Inspiration for anyone mate.. Your channel will only get bigger and bigger!! It's also nice you involve hannah aswell you both make a good team and your banter is good and honest not like other you tubers... Good luck with the Rs5 I'm sure it's going to be another success build👍

If I have the money I would be calling you to wrap my Lexus, your approach is so refreshing and educational. Keep it up Mat, love the vids and now we have Hannah as well best Channels on YT.

Mat's youthful enthusiasm when it all works is why we come here. well that and talking the headlights of and on about 20 times ! just a superb project- still cant help but think there's something big wring with it...;-)

Really interesting video Mat, thanks very much an stop making it look so easy.

A beast coming back to life!!! Keep going Mat💪🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Loving the videos! Quick little comment though - the music to voice-over volume ratio needs a bit of tweaking. Let me know if you disagree guys.

amazing how matt is stripping the car off and then makes it back while on the same time filming everything good job 👏🏼

If im not mistaken the adaptive headlight lights up the side of the road when turning, if you was to turn left at night the light should be brighter and cover more surface

Extra module is for curve lightings or dynamic cornering high beams. AFS. You’ll only have the drivers light performing as intended. You need the passenger light with AFS

Matt You have me hooked on yfood... are you looking at doing a subscriber car transformation competition or something like that to give your viewers a chance to have there car on your channel aswell as have awesome mods done to it? Keep up the awesome work. I could sit there and watch you repair/mod cars all day long 👍👍

Hello Mat I am from Morocco and one of your biggest followers and I love what you offer. I watch what you do with the cars. It really is a great job. I hope you will modify my humble Hyundai Accent. It is fate that you live in England far from us. I wish you and all your relatives and loved ones health, wellness, happiness and success in life. My dear brother, continue what you offer. I would also like to thank you for sharing with us your fondness and passion for cars. You are really a good man, God bless you.

That black thing on top of headlight, is a dynamic light controller. It's the thing that turns your headlights in the direction you're steering. RS5/S5 has it as standard, and A5 doesn't. But it's good to see it still works!

I’m jumping around a bit at the moment, Mat. I’m up to date with the RS6 build and I’ve watched the S3 build and the Golf R build too. As you can tell, I’m a fan of VAG’s (I have a Golf) and I’m blown away with what you’re willing throw yourself into - and the builds have ended up absolutely crazy. I feel too old for the cars that you’ve built, but your channel is such great fun to watch that I want to see them through to the end. I think I’ll have a look at some other non-VAG’s too at some point, once I’m through this RS5 build. Anyway, keep up the great work, and fingers crossed that you reach 2 million subscribers very soon. You deserve to get there and much more! All the best to you and everyone involved.

I subscribed to your channel quite a while ago and haven't watched anything as of late but the music and speed of things kind of makes it hard to follow along. Just seems like a lot is going on. Really like that you're working on an RS5 of this vintage!

Great work mate, living your best life!

Swap the main ballast from your smashed headlight to the new headlight, that should fix the adaptive headlight error. Had the same issue when I was rebuilding one

Love your videos mate, keep on doing them!! :)

Very Good Job 👍👍. I know it is old upload but for the future You can find a fixing set / repair kit for headlight mount of many brand car. You don need to glue it and ziptie

Smashing it Mat, gotta rate your constant positivity too. That'll buff out in no time!

Great work Matt 👍👍

2:35 That stock exhaust sounds awesome. I love the "metallic" overtones on the muted v8 rumble. the b7 RS4 along with this (same engine) have the one of the best sounding exhaust setup IMO and you're just gonna ruin it. Louder isn't always better.

Just watched Hannahs video so decided to check your channel and you'd uploaded about 30 seconds ago, not bad for a Monday.

Great video Matt, you are making tackling the RS5 look easy, could be down to a bit of good video editing or your skills are improving the more projects you work on, 😎👍

You take your time so you get everything straight again very interesting video

Love the B8/8.5 platform, such a good looking car the RS5 and that V8 noise is to die for 👌 Would love to see a proper paint job done on this one though Matt!! Supercharger kits are available for these, you know you want to.....

I think adaptive headlight point in the direction your steering wheel is pointing, got them on my beemer and they are pretty smart tbf👍

love this rs5 build mat!!! looking great cant wait for more! :D

This will be an incredibly great build. Fully loving the content Mat! Is it possible if you could change the seats in that RS5 to the wingback sports bucket seats that fans with some RS4s/RS5s?

Adaptive lights are to do with steering, when you turn the Wheel left, the lights also turn slightly left, and the same with the right. I had the same issue on my q7

My A5 has also that kind of semi-dynamic indicators. There's an aftermarket plug and play devices behind the lights. This sweeping speed is adjustable (at least mine has). If it is adjusted slower, then it looks more sweepy :)

Amazing car Mat, i think this car has Semi-Dynamic Turn Signal Cables on the rear lights. You have to check it out on Google Semi / or Dynamic turn signal cable. It's like a short little cable with a small box attached in the middle that gives a small Electric signal to make them blink like that. You can check it out if you remove the rear lights There is some kind of cable attached to the rear light that you have to disconnect. And then they should be back normal how it should have to blink. Good luck with the build.

Always loved an rs5 and I can’t wait for this beast to be finished

Enjoying this content Matt!. With the Audi adaptive headlight fault. The reason being you are missing a ballast on your new passenger headlight is because that headlight is not a AFS one. The AFS headlights on the rs5 is adaptive as you know but not for leveling, but for cornering 👍. Keep up the good content mate.

Hats of to ye Matt 👏👏👏 brilliant video looking forward to the next one 👍👍👍

good update enjoying the progress

Top work Mat, keep them top notch videos coming 👍🏻

Mat, I think the car had the optional adaptive headlights (not only for levelling, but they are adapting in corners as well to give you a better view) and the passenger's side headlight is not adaptive.

Love your videos Matt , just not long enough 👍

Great hard work as always mat full credit to you👍

Hiya Matt, rear lights are semi dynamic. It should just be a extension link between the rear light and the cars original lighting harness. They should be plug and play but sometimes the rear lights may have to be re coded. Hope this helps.

Mat, Your content is great, your editing is great. You somehow manage to include a lot of important information in a mere 18 minutes. Really enjoy your content and I hope that you won’t change the grill on the RS5, I really do believe the silver one goes really well with the black paint job.

do you know where i can buy the exact same grill? for the 08-12 model

loving the longer vids

Mat, the secondary air injection is to help reduce emissions and helps warm the cat up quicker so it becomes cleaner at first start up. I'd bin it and get it remapped out to stop the engine warning light.

Wow. This one is a project! Go get it Mat!

Always a good day when mat posts

Yes, yes Mat, happy S5 memories.

You’ve already progressed so much, unlucky with the leak but nothing will stop you!

The headlights on you’re rs have adaptive headlights. The headlight that you bought is just self levelling, so it goes up & down but non left right. You might be able to use the old parts and retrofit them inside the new housing, but you will need to have experience opening this type of headlight. I suggest you sell it and buy the right one later on.

@Henny2210

Also, the self levelling uses two sensors, one on the rear passenger side suspention, and the other attached to the front passenger side suspension... just about where yours is bent and has 4 broken wires... try just quickly connecting the broken wires back up and see if it clears the levelling issue... :)

Standard procedure like video before watching and haven’t skipped a second on any video 👌🏻👍🏻
