2007 plate automatic is going to give you problems. Audi fixed its automatic gearboxs from 2013 and up.

That car looks pretty decent, looking forward to see you get it done and hopefully get a new life with a proud and happy owner. Have a great weekend! Cheers 🙂

Wow what cheap motor looks really clean for a 13 year old car cant wait to see it when its all done 👍👍

Got the same car sline 12 years old and I love it no rust at all and it is always outside had changed most serviceable parts on it and it don’t cost that much only thing I haven’t changed but thinking about it is the turbo I keep hearing the police siren when it is cold but to be honest I drove other A3s and the siren is still there some say as soon that happens change the turbo but it is not loosing power or licking oil or smoking and it’s been like that for 5 years so I think I will wait on that, looking forward to your next video.

It's Lava Grey. Had the same A3 (my first car) 1.6 FSI MJ2005

Mate that's a bargain. My favourite shape of A3 and the 170 lumps are great fun. Be nice when its done. Own an Octavia tdi myself love it only a 1.6 mk3 but pulls like a train and has been absolutely reliable only issue I have had is a thermostat that was stuck open fixed cheaply.

Paint is Lava Grey code L Z7L .. . its a pearl finish. looks stunning minted up

Got your self a riiiight bargain there. Dibs on it when you sell it ;)

Front coils are always breaking on a range of cars. Just shit quality steel especially Renault Lagunas! Just a tip always replace coil springs in pairs or it will 'lean'.

@1chish

@TheCamshafter '3rd world'? Whatever you say ... If you have replaced that many on your Audi there is something wrong with the parts you are buying not the roads. Oh and 5? You should be replacing in pairs so either 4 or 6. Maybe thats why they are breaking. I have been driving cars, bikes and trucks for over 50 years and only ever had two broken springs. Both on Lagunas. Its a known issue with them.

We always used to recommend it at audi. But for me personally I don’t see the point. If it isn’t broke don’t fix it. I’ve changed loads of springs just on one side and never had an issue, and don’t see why you should. IMO of course 😊

I pasi 7300 for an sline version of one of these low miles 09 170 last year, 400 quid that's a steal! The wheels themselfs are worth 400 you essentially got a free car 😂

Hi mate I’ve been watching your vids for a while n they’re great. I was wondering if u could help me? I have an a6 2.7 tdi, which turbo actuator has gone. I’ve bought a new actuator it is still goin in limp mode. It will move up and down when ignition is turned on. Is there any easy way round this? I understand your very busy but any help would be very appreciated thanks. 👍🏾

@SavingSalvage

4 жыл бұрын

If its been confirmed the actuator is the problem you are meant to set them up when i new ones fitted. as if they are working outside the parameters it will still go into limp mode, so may be worth checking that
