Please Dean, when you do the rebuild, show us a great deal of the work involved. I don't think I'm alone in liking long videos. For those of us who are now armchair mechanics, our kick is seeing the ins and outs of what makes things tick. Really looking forward to this one.

It’s the KZread algorithm I reckon that dictates shorter videos. But he could do a Patreon link with a longer version maybe ?

Agree with this. I could watch a couple of hours of this at a time. Exciting project.

Can’t wait to see this one unwind,my favourite car of all time.

Great cars and great content as always dean really looking forward to watching you get stuck in to this one

Nice car Dean, should be a walk in the park as you’ve done a V8 before!! The RS4 engine rebuild is why I watch your videos, that was interesting to watch, especially as I now own one!!

Wow what a project this is going to be, looking forward to this one dean, longer in-depth vids please!!, A cracking choice, roll on part 2, nice one Dean.

Great video as ever Dean. Looking forward to progress on the R8.

Love the one man band approach to your videos pal! Each one never disappoints me keep up the excellent work 👍🏻

Only recently found this channel, got a recommendation after a salvage rebuilds video, enjoying these videos a lot and subbed..👍

Best car vid intro ever!!! Loved the RS4, looking forward to this. What an amazing looking car!

Brilliant intro! I have a ghost2 on my s4 it's a blessing and a curse, looking forward to diagnoses and remedial action on this one

Brilliant! Great decision. Looking forward to the rebuild series.

Awesome looking car Dean, I’m looking forward to watching this go from a non runner to fully functioning…! ❤️👍🏻

Nice acting in the opener....or is it acting 😂

That will be great content - really looking forward to it! thanks Dean! ps. what about v10 swapping it and steaking two turbos behind it?! 🤪

Looking forward to the rebuild, loved the intro 😁

No matter how old it is, it is still as stylish as if it was only one year old. I hope you manage to fix it like everyone else and I look forward to the new video for this car.

I hope it all works out well for you there mate. I was an apprentice at Audi when the R8 was launched.

Loving the content recently easy my top 3 channel at the moment. Reward us with a long video on the engine teardown and inspection. Much love

Thanks mate!

That oil leak is most likely blown oil cooler lines. It's a common issue with the original cooler, there is an updated version with better lines. Also, it's a dry sump system so you can't check the oil level while it's cold. Drain it all and refill with the correct amount. Overfilling is really bad.

Yeah unless the cooler was completely ignored too they don’t normally cause you to loose a catastrophic amount….bearings locking up is normally over rev when cold on these….

Dean your ok you are in the brotherhood of cars well done and welcome to the club... If you weren't we wouldn't have anything to watch Keep up the great work John

Dean, hands down bruv, climbed to one of my favorite go to channels. I suffer quite bad with my mental health and my survival instinct to calm myself down is always to watch or re-watch one of your many amazing vids man. I already had a pretty decent mechanical knowledge but I know a lot more theory now than I did before, so I have many things to thank you for! You're one of the reasons why I decided to splash out a whole months wage on a 2006 CLK 320 Soft-top and I'm way more confident with it's internals than I would be if I hadn't spent so many hours watching your channel! Love bro x

Hi Tom, thanks for the great message! Really happy that my videos can help you and others gain confidence in doing things themselves. Hope the CLK doesn’t give you too much trouble ❤️

Best intro ever fella !!!! Great video and good luck with this next project

I love this kind of videos! subscribed mate keep up❤

I loved the RS4 series! I can't wait to see this thing running and driving again!

Dean knows no fear! Videos like this are the best on YT, mere mortals mucking about with exotics. Bravo sir.

Will be good to see the issue and a good length vid for the diagnosis and repair

Always fantastic content 👌will really enjoy this one dean 👍👍👍

that looks the business,, this is going to be fantastic content,thankyou Dean,,👍👍👍

Loved the start of the video 😂😂 Really looking forward to this following this build 🙌🙌

You have an amazing channel, one of my favourite in this topic! What do you suggest for somebody who has a huge interest in doing car repairs themselves, and has done some repairs here and there (i have a 3.0 TDI audi A4), and wants to get better, but is afraid that he will mess something up? I’m not a mechanic but i have an extreme interest in this topic and being able to fix cars myself. Many thanks for your answer!

Can't wait to see the results. Looks like a good buy. I made the Quattro TV commercials when that was built. Now I have a 2ltr m2 8j TT. I was the first to drive one at the factory in Bavaria c1997/8 I think. I wish I had your skills!

What an intro ! Cool car waiting for brand new episodes with engine repair 😉 💪🥳

Love This car. Love what you do. Can’t wait to see you work on that beast ❤

Looking forward to this one, had a V10 RS6 from new for 3 years and always wondered about stripping a big engine down, only wondered........

Great content thanks. If it’s any help car needs to have run up to temp to check oil level and then left for 2 mins. Obviously you can’t do this at the mo! There are two flexi oil lines on the passenger side rear behind the liner that go to a cooler. Maybe one of these has failed. Good luck!

This is your best yet, so many of us would love to own an R8, can’t wait to see you fix this one.

Can't wait to see this rebuild, hopefully it won't be as bad as the other ones in and out 3 or 4 times 😬, the next video should be interesting

Cant wait to see this car drive again, i hope you decide to keep this car for a long time, you deserve it for saving it with your own hands

Ricky at RE performance has done a buyers guide on R8s and he mentioned the oil lines are known for going, especially the early models with black steel pipes. Bet the oil leak is from a blown oil line? Then WeBuyanycar ignored the red oil light?

Great car Dean looking forward to this build 👊👍

Hi deen the only person who can built any top engine is u and then two Asian lads who do KZread u guys are the best salvage mechanic keep up the good work 👍🏾

Best intro ever. 😂😂😂 Really looking forward to this one too! Good luck Dean.

Brilliant video dean, look forward to the teardown

YES!!! Genuinely excited for this series!

When you do pieces to the camera, eg right at the end, could you consider using a static tripod mount rather than waving the camera about on the end of your arm?

Am looking forward to this rebuild Dean I was thinking of buying a R8

oh my god, im nervous too lol but i cant wait to see the outcome, good luck 👍

Wonderful project Dean ,now the fun begins 👍

I've been looking forward for a build like this, finally. An R8 on the channel. from a fellow R8 owner to another, well done Dean.

Great video dean amazing car looking forward to nx video 👍 👍

Try putting it in a high gear and push it or tow it that will show if the engine is seized, saves messing up the starter motor.

Brilliant video... thank you.

ALL the best on the repairs i was the 2nd to your bid on the car and i must say it looks like a nice car I've been waiting for a black manual car on copart for a while but i had the wife looking over my shoulder and so i got to the price where i thought there was enough room for repair money i.e replacement engine or with the listing saying water damage i thought it would be heads of and sort the bent valves out when turned the computer on and seen the title a knew it was that car i was bidding on so all the best

try hand cranking before you take anything apart.....plugs out, oil down the bores..let it soak...you never know...

If I remember right the r8s have a cooling problems with the core especially with boost. The amps go on the battery's aswell even if its fully charged as like you already know you have voltage and amps.

Some fantastic projects on the go here!

Like it looking forward to this , After the RS4 avant my favourite Audi 😀

Oh yes 😂 loving the confession intro, you have a problem but it’s great for the channel lol

one of these is on my vehicle bucket list

The RS4 was a brilliant project that you just kept going at till it was sorted. Sure this will be as good and probably better - looking forward to you getting stuck into this amazing engine - with your previous experience of the RS4 sure it will up and running before too long👍

Wonderful car. I have driven one of the very first R8s for a whole weekend and tested it on several hillclimb tracks here in Germany. All I had to pay for was the petrol. That was about somewhere north of 800€ XD. I used this experience to implement my knowledge of the car handling into my R8 real feel mod for GTR Evolution, an old sim. Later when I supported the development of Project Cars 1 (another racing game) I tested it on the Nordschleife. It´s like a fine tailored suit. It sleek, doesn´t get in your way and looks noble. Imho it doesn´t have much of a character like a Ferrari, but its a proper car that wont let you down in the frame of its intended purpose.

Blimey you have landed yourself some serious work there Dean

How about a jis they stopped using them in 08 if I remember right so if you’re working on anything a little on the old side it’s hard to find those screw drivers

Charles trent broke a 4.2 v8 this week. The engine was ok it maybe up on their website for sale now

Oh Dean we all suffer from the same disease 🤣. Be afraid very afraid, dry sump ,belts on the wrong side ,lots of body work to pull and absolutely no room to work. Will love to watch your new adventure ✨️.

This was funny your brilliant , hows the TVR doing .

That start is just perfect can relate so much 🤣🤣

Best thing for seized motorcycle engines , surprisingly is brake fluid , one of the absolute best penetrating oils to drop down the plug-holes. gets to the rust on the rings & bore.

I know this sounds stupid but mine did the same...it was the earth strap not making connection.worth a try

Love the intro 🤭😂😎 great content too

Reckon u should go nuts on this wide body air ride Noz 🙏👍

Show us how have you fixed the problem with Octavia RS3 - DPF

nice! Dean looking forward this

Dean. Have you ever thought about wearing bard wire underpants. There is just as much pain but your hands aren’t always covered in oil.

Lol the intro tho! Ur a dam genius Gump!

Another awesome series

go ed Dean lad, this is gonna be good👌👌💪💪

That intro, hilarious. But what a new project!

I feel your pain Dean , I'm in the same boat mate ,cant pass a damaged car

I would get a ghost installer to look at it , you can change the code sequence yourself so worth investigating 👍 maybe someone changed it 😬

Me owning a vw golf 5 I can say if u don't have the proper battery, it does the same sound has the r8 did, they don't even give hope if it hasn't enough battery like for example 12v in the case of the golf it doesn't start and gives that sound has the r8 did, let's hope it's not seized try turning it manually

Looking forward to this rebuild 💪

Lovely motor , good luck

Dry sump oil level can’t be properly checked like that… danger of overfilling

Awwwww Dean that was so sad and I thought my drug and alcohol problem was bad ☹️ but funny 😂, wow give me your addiction any day lol 😂 what a car 😳 spectacular looking and I have a feeling it’s gonna be EXPENSIVE FIX 🤔, also my wife said mine shouldn’t be that small either but it does get twice the size on occasion 😂.

I’m gunna go with it’ll be a new block and internals required.

May I suggest, a slightly older S8 4.2 engine, and tune it, or once stripped, if it's the pistons, pour boiling hot old oil, through each of the the cylinders.

Hope all goes well with the rebuild 🍀🙏👍

v8 + manual gearbox = best r8 combo.

Lovely Jubbly car and future video's I'm sure, but I think you need to sell some more to fund it Dean 😳

Balls deep as usual - fair play!

Best of luck with it 👍

I'm looking forward to this one, I really like that car.
