Some people would say a lucky outcome but I know it's more that you gain experience in knowing the right ones to buy and the ones to avoid. You've restored that into being a very desirable car Dean, nice one!

Very true!

Turns out to be a very "easy "job to get this car back on the road. Because that is absolute not a normal case, to many times things are much more trouble shooting, so this car is a bonus !!!! Nice car and a nice color !!

You are right, usually have the undisclosed copart damage to fix too 😂

I once bid and won a Tesla on copart, went back to the listing and they'd changed keys from yes to no after the sale. I had a screenshot to prove it. Luckily for me the key was in the boot but they denied changing it.

Nice one Dean, it's great to see one of the cars being fixed so easily for a change, it was a big risk but this one was worth it 👍👍👊👊

Beautiful car. Great buy for yourself, and great that the issues were resolved 'easily'. I'm guessing the previous owner is also happy that the insurance have sorted him out (hope his NCB was protected)...just a pity that the insurance company (for them) that they off-load things in that manner...but as DelBoy would say, mange-tout, He who dares wins!

Superb Dean. What a great buy. Feeling real sorry for the previous owner. Sometimes you just come up smelling of roses 😄Well done. Cheers, Bob

@@BennyBrown-ze5ik The previous owner will feel the effects of this for a while financially as they will have to declare a claim on insurance which drive yearly premiums up.

This is my dream car. Absolute beauty. One day I will own one. Great work and buy. Glad you you got some well deserved good luck.

Hope he puts this up for raffle absolutely mint car would buy a nice few tickets for it ! Quality video as always 🙌🏼

Dean Dean Dean what a great result and so exciting to watch. So glad it’s all good. Great insight into story on insurance.

Fabulous work, nicely filmed! Great clip!

thankyou Dean,this has been a brilliant project,looking forward to sunday,, have a good weekend,,👍👍

Great video. Interesting hearing the story about the theft, gateway, voice recording etc. Keep up the good work. Lovely car btw.

Just discovered this site, and I'm knocked out with your knowledge and fine attention to detail ...think I've blitz all the backlog ( loved the one with the VW van ... I actually clenched my teeth when you scratched it on the charger ) Keep up the great work 🛼

Excellent mini series. Best one yet. Keen to hear figures.

Absolute score. Very well done. Best of luck with it.

Another good job done dean,looking forward to the GTR Sunday 👍

That owner must have been gutted. A stunning car, I enjoyed that Dean. Well done fella.

High risk, high reward. Done really well there. Tickets should sell very fast on this one :)

That was a great video Love a clean interior, so a fresh carpet must be amazing

Great video,thoroughly enjoyed it 👏🏼

Thank you! Will do!

Hi Dean, loving the videos as always. Sorry if you’ve already answered this. My wife’s seat Leon had its multimedia unit stolen 2 years ago & so I fixed all the cables and got a 2nd hand unit from a salvage unit. It got coded to the car by a local garage. It’s over a year later when I’ve noticed that the driving mode isn’t available. sounds similar to your RS4 driver mode issue. Is the licensing something I can sort out/fix or do I need Odis/VCDS? I do a lot of stuff myself but only have OBDeleven and a basic sealey computer. Thanks Gareth.

Think that's going to be a hard car for you to let go,great content as always 👍

Brilliant series, very informative and another fantastic car back on the road.

Amazing how it worked out for , what a great purchase ,brilliant video

Well done fella a bit of deserved luck this time and what a motor that is absolute dream car , love the channel

Keep up the good work always enjoy these videos.

Lovely car my dream car and even colour! Glad you got it fixed so quick would have been good to see more ok this car but glad good one for you. Enjoy it maybe once you’ve had your fun with it could raffle it off maybe be my lucky win! As always great video

Just discovered your channel very interesting glad it worked out well like you said could of went very different. Also show s these cars are very expensive even when you were unsure of how it would pan out good on you all best look forward to viewing your other videos thanks again

I can see how you really think through these buys/risks. Great detail and story dream car 🤞 one day

Class that you got this sorted relatively easily. I've been seriously considering an s4 avant probably something with a petrol turbo v6 as the later tdi v6 is a bit pricier. Do you have any thoughts on the prices and potential if I went down the same route as yourself? Would it be worth it or is it more a case of you knowing what you are doing which... I wouldn't? Unless I could rope in help.

great job dean i think it the best one yet in the best colour too, always loved those motors

Great video Dean. I love this Audi - dream family motor. Please tell me this will be up in a comp soon 🤞

Great purchase for you, and well deserved, but an absolute bitter pill for the original owner. 👍👍👍👍

Stunning car ❤ another great turn around

Excellent job Dean, lovely car.

Hey Deano this has got raffle prize written all over it 👍👍👍

That is one beauty of a car, nice find and repair 😎

Love this car and a great video again

That is really interesting to watch given stolen/recovered as it's interesting on which way it could go. Is this going to be raffled?

Nice to see a good easy result for you Dean. I share other people’s views on these motors being nicked! The motor manufacturers ought to employ some of these thieves to help them design better security systems in their cars. 👍😎

Years ago a bloke designed a lock and ignition for cars that was a fool proof as can be loads of reformed car thieves tried for up to an hour to get in to the car. a group of manufacturers purchased the lock and all the rest of the intellectual property for big money and never made or fitted it to any cars. I was told this by a teacher at my school and he was explaining that if cars were not stolen and stuff then they don't get replaced and also it would affect insurance so these things get shelved. sick isn't it.

Cracking Car Dean..keep up the good work

Great job on this big fella, how can I find a regular list of your cars going to auction, and is this one going that route?

I want this!! Looks amazing!! 🔥🔥

Wow, great work....... I would buy tickets for that!

Very nice car, easy fix thanks for the update on what happened to it

Great video and series. So are you going to keep the car now? Or sell it?

Mate you hit the jackpot with this these over here in Oz are around $130000 lol. good work mate what's your plans with it?

Good morning. for your AGM battery you can try putting distilled water back into it. remove the adhesives and remove the caps to fill each compartment with distilled water just covering the cells. Recharge and it should hold voltage. I have already done this manipulation in the dealership in which I work with success. Thank you for your videos

That worked out a tad better than the GTR yeah?!?🙄🙄😂😃😃👍👍 good on mate, it’s nice when goes your way, lovely color as well.

Very lucky and good job like always. Keep it comeing.

What a beautiful car. Very lucky it was some relatively easy fixes.

i really like it,it’s gorgeous,for me it’s one of the best car you purchased!

Stunning car and that worked out so well, crazy that the insurers sold it off due to the carpet backorder. Enjoy 👍🏻😎

Tell me about it

Great series lovely results

Great result Dean.

Always loved these, looks stunning in that blue! Maybe you guys should keep this for your wifes daily

Great content. Much appreciated.

Fabulous result, Dean. What are you doing with the car?

Great vid and job as per, love the videos keep it up 👍 Is it gonna be in the raffle? 😜

So happy for you that the car was an easy fix 😊👍😎

Great video Dean, 📹 👍

That’s a banging car for the money 👍🏻 nice spec too

Lovely car and enjoyable mini series 👍

Great result Dean

Well done. Ballsy risk paid off big time😊. Question is what will you do with it now? It is a bit faster than the VW for moving the family!

Great love the risk taking 😊

Another great vid, what was the total cost of repairs then, under a grand?

Relatively easy fix, superb looking car, hope you put this one up for a competition?

Love the colour but not a VAG fan and the new M3 makes it look slow. Great content love it.

Love the colour so much, especially with the black

Lot of respect for Quattro Tech. Use St Ives branch myself to service and MOT my Golf R Estate and Yeti. Bought and sold cars through Quattro Tech Cars, good people to do business with.

Nice simple turnaround for you Dean. Lovely job👍

Awesome! Nice one. Will this one be on a comp at some point?

That blue colour looks amazing on the RS4, its a cracking car!

Curious to know about the Focus 🤔🤔

Well Dean , you got mighty lucky with that one , ok £900 is a lot of money to anybody , but you got a good break , now just dot your eyes & cross your tees .... & the car is great , well done again ....

I think I saw a trimpiece missing at the rearviewmirror..Otherwise an amazing car, no a dreamcar. Great video.

Cheers for all the tips mate

As "simple" (nuts/bolts/clips) as this job is, I'd find it daunting...Especially as you said there's little information online, bits are fragile etc. Great job! Love your content Also, you might want to blur your speedo if you're going to do more than 70 ;) You got up to 96...4mph off instant ban should PC plod be watching ;)

Once a car battery drops below 11.6V it's basically knackered from internal damage. At that voltage sulphation occurs so you get crystals forming on the metal plates inside the battery. Whilst is may appear to work OK if it's used daily, if it's left unused for any length of time or it's a particularly cold night you'll come out to a flat battery.

Looks like a decent new daily Dean😊

best car crash repair channel on youtube by far....

Great result here. Would make for a fantastic daily driver for a family

Woww what a car looks great drives like a track car great work you take a chance some times you win. Well done

What a car. Great buy. Make a great family wagon. Please put it on compete for cars 🙏😂

Great job Dean

Great result for you Dean and a lousy result for the original owner. Hadn't heard of that reason but makes complete sense.

Never liked Audi’s but Jesus that is one good looking car which I’d live to have in my drive 👍 and o yah good upload and hope you keep it 😂

Well done Dean, as you said Beautiful!

Hi Dean, have you still got the RS Focus?.. are you gona put it on compete for cars?

So the previous owner could send you the second key! That car is amazing, especially in that exclusive colour! 🤤 Have you thought about keeping it instead of your new RS3?

Great content, as ever. Are we going to see the RS4 on 'Compete for cars'? - Yes please......

stunning gorgeous car! is this going to be raffled off or sold?

You’ve had a right tickle there mate 👍🏻nice one

Dean - Nice job - quick turn around on this one - u should put a ghost on it to stop it being pinched again 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Happy days Deano! 👌

Top job,well done 👍👍
