Hi, the allen key method is very helpful. The question I have, is why is it important for the central pulley to be lined up with the marker and notch IF you have marked the belts, crank pulleys and case to line up, and counted the teeth, so long as the central pulley, hasnt moved from the starting position, when you start the job? If the pulleys remain in place from the starting position and you slip the old belts on and new on (having counted the teeth), should that do it, once tensioned correctly? About to do this job myself and getting a little concerned i'll get it wrong and blow the engine. I have it all apart ready, well, at least with the covers and exhaust off, full access and ready to go, withnew belts in post. So im already invested in doing this myself...
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!
Here's how the clips work for the door panels if they are giving you trouble - kzread.info/dash/bejne/ia2C05iSacTQqNY.html
Well done sir
unplugging the cord is the hardest part this dumbass mf jus made a jump cut
bro skipped over the most important part
I just installed 6.5 inch Rockford Fosgate coaxial speakers on my ’14 Audi Q5 using your technique. It worked flawlessly! Just had to make some minor modifications. I used thin plywood, approx. 4mm thick. The outer dimensions were spot on, but I increased the inner dimensions by .5 inch to accommodate my speakers. Instead of using epoxy to attach the ring, I screwed it in with small, narrow screws in case I wanted to change speakers later on. This way, I can just unscrew it. Other modifications - I affixed thin weather stripping (foam) on the speaker housing where it screws into the door panel to prevent vibrations. Also used wire connectors for ease of removal in the event I want to replace. Already replaced the front tweeters with Memphis Audio 2.75-inch tweeters with bass blockers. Will replace the front center channel with 3-inch Dayton audio and the rear door speakers with Rockford Fosgate in the next few weeks. Thank you very much for sharing this video!! Deserves 1,000 👍 Take care.
Hey Thomas - Thank you for sharing and providing the adapter ring measurements! I will try this on my '14 Audi Q5 which has the same speaker set-up. I don't have a 3d printer so will use a cardboard template first then use that to cut out a thin piece of wood. Did you also replace the rear passenger door speakers? If so, did you have to to the same process?
gorgeous dog you have. And it always help to have a helping paw or two. :)
Just did my S2R800 with your help. It had 4300 miles and 18 years old belts.Thanks!
I also need to replace my timebeltnon my 1100 Evo…8700km only on the clock but 11 yrs old 😂
@@mryugo7829 Did you do this? About to do the belts on my 1100
Thanks for that, Since Iceland has no Ducati dealer and I dont trust anyone to do it correctly I must do it myself, nice to have a refrance guide
Thanks for the tutorial. Was able to do both sides on mine since I couldn't find the same Philips bulb and I bought Sylvania.
I’m sorry, but I have to interject. I have a 2015 B8.5 S4. I saw this video in my search for the best way to change my own bulb. Once Thomas got to the part where one can turn the bulb 1/4 turn counterclockwise and remove the bulb, I asked myself, “Why should I remove the entire light housing? I went to Auto Zone, bought a D3S bulb, went out to the parking lot, opened up my hood, removed the rubber cover, reached in and took out the bad bulb, unhooked it from the plug, took the new bulb out of the box (it was an Osram), plugged it back into the plug wire, and stuck it back in the housing, turning 1/4 turn clockwise and locking it in. The whole procedure (including buying the bulb) took 5 minutes. Do not take the car apart to take out the housing. And definitely do not give the stealer/dealer any money to change that bulb.
Was it the driver side? Read Audi switched from hydraulic to electric power steering in 2012, so that could explain why it is possible to easily replace since the reservoir is not in the way.
@@ThomasGillot your right my 2012 has the hydraulic pump right there
worst idea. the "plate" you created is way to thin. thicker is way better. next issue, you could have also made a brand new mounting bracket with a 3D printer. its actually best to create a solid single form. this also doesn't look good with all the glue your adding. try checking out CAF or five star car stereo youtube videos for professional guides. for others, don't do this. waste of time and effort.
It has worked perfectly fine and is solid. Plate is plenty thick enough with the infill used. Printing a completely new housing would take more time to design in CAD and existing plug socket would have to be grafted on. Plus wouldn't be as strong. Much easier to use existing housing and print a simple plate. Everything is hidden behind the door panel and looked factory. No wiring cut into or modified. Can't expect much more than that.
Hello, have a good day. I need to ask a question regarding the change of the speakers of a 2009 audi a5. The problem is that when the speakers (4) and the tweeters (4) were changed, the sound stopped being heard. I don't know what to do. Can you give me any idea what happened?
Hi, the guy in the video knows that the Audi's original speaker has a 3-ohm resistance and he replaced it with a speaker with this resistance. the standard car hifi has a 4ohm resistance. Could this be the problem? I'm using google translate, sorry
Always wear gloves for HID bulbs. Always
What was the mounting depth of the OEM's? Buying some aftermarket adapters and will be using 8" woofers instead of 6.5".
OL on the display means OpenLoop, which means there is no conductivity. It says OL before you measure anything as the air between the 2 probes is an insulator. That means there is resistance when you measure, and a lot of it. You said there isn't resistance, which is wrong. You should indeed get a measurement. If the speaker is shorted the number would be very low and if there is a broken wire etc, then the reading would be very high, or OL
Exhaust pipe removal from the horizontal cylinder is a must on the 696 to get straight into the vertical belt tightener allen bolt. They strip quite easily at an angle if the pipe is left on and they're $10 each plus the wait of shipping from Italy . Ask me how I know.
Yeah, makes sense to remove it since it doesn't take much time and gives you more access.
Nice work man! Going to try and do it myself. Can you give me de measurements of that disc plate you printed? So I can get 4 printed. Thanks 😁
The plate for the front speakers is 190mm x 190mm x 6mm and the hole to fit the speaker is 127mm diameter. Rear lower door speakers are standard 6.5", so you may not need to make adapter rings if you cut the old speaker out. Haven't replaced them yet though.
Thanks for sharing this. It was a helpful video! I've got a M1200S and I'm guessing the process should be similar.
Glad it helped! Should be a similar process for other models.
kzread.info/dash/bejne/aq6itKZwmN2saZc.html Here’s a video of mine with the updated stuff
Nice, saw they have a few updated photos on their site now.
Damn bro that’s not a 2021 model. You have the older brakes. Old suspension. Old seat. Old graphics. I don’t know why they are shipping them like this and saying 2021 model. To bad. I just got mine and I got the new stuff except the kke suspension. I got Jewed on that
I actually got it back in May, so were shipped with the RST fork at that time. Guess I can always upgrade to Fox forks or something later. What are on it now are not too bad for what I ride on.
Thanks
The Tesla Ranger that comes to your location does this with only one floor jack under the rear area. The vehicle is stiff enough to raise the front so you can get that front wheel out. Pretty cool.
Can you just change the bulb itself ?
Some have said that they could get to the driver side bulb without removing the headlamp, but it is very tight with the power steering reservoir in the way (at least on the 2.0T). If it was me, I would just remove the headlamp to prevent potentially damaging the bulb.
My 2014 S4 had a plastic retaining clip at the base of the bulb. You twist this clip counter clockwise to release the bulb instead of twisting on the bulb itself. I would not have had to remove the assembly had I known so hopefully this helps somebody else.
Good to know. It may be slightly different on the S4. From my experience working on Audi cars, trying to save time does not save time.
yes you don’t have to remove the headlight lol if you have an s4 or prestige this guy wasted time lol
Hi Thom, your S4 is still healthy and in good hands :) Just stumbled upon this video in my feed and thought that the background and the car looked familiar lol. Hope you are doing well!
Glad to know it is still running well! Miss the rumble of the V8, total sleeper. Still on the hunt for a project/track car, but undecided on what direction to go. Take care and stay safe!
Mine has like a gate thingy on it
Thanks for the tutorial, have to fix mine this weekend and this helped a lot!
Glad it helped!
@@ThomasGillot Hello i'll try change my bulb too. One friend told me , that i have to change 2 bulb per side . I have a4 b8 december 2008. Did u change one bulb ? Or if i change one bulb the "white" will be only on my daily light?(now is "yellow")? Thank you
@@JustSomebodddyyy If you have the factory bi-xenon headlamps there is only one bulb per side. Believe those with factory halogen have two bulbs per side (high/low).
You can change the bulb on the driver's side of 2013 S4 without removing any screws. You have to reach down behind the light fixture and snake your hand into the fixture. You have to be very, very careful not to break the bulb and it takes a little dexterity. I removed the old bulb and then reinserted it as a "dry run." Once I was comfortable with that, I was able to GENTLY insert the new bulb. Of course you risk breaking the new bulb which is fragile. Anyways it worked out for me but I emphasize practicing with the old bulb several times.
It's doable, but was easy enough to just pull the housing out and not risk damage to the bulb.
Great video. Going to start doing my own rotations. Just curious was that first jack just a 1 1/2 ton jack? Could I get away with 2 of those? Thx
Yes, the first jack is a 1 1/2 ton from Harbor Freight. You could use two of those. Thanks
Where did you get the recommended mileage change at 6250 miles? The Model 3 manual says 10,000 to 12,000 miles and it does not show a picture of cross rotation? Updated: the 10,000 to 12,000 miles that I’ve quoted is from the owners manual. I did see where you got the 6250 miles and that is from the TM3 Safety Manual. Weird that they have a disconnect. But I’m still questioning your cross rotation. I didn’t see that noted in either manual. And to add that your included diagram in the video shows something different than what you did, right rear to left rear?
You're right, just checked and Tesla changed it to every 10k miles from 6,250. Either should be fine though. The cross rotation is standard for non-staggerd 4WD/RWD cars. Rotation on the same side will also work, but may not wear as even. See www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=43
I'd be carefull using too much torque on the drill. If you watch when you use the torque wrench it seems to click right away. This happens when over tightened. You want the torque wrench to move the nut a bit before clicking. It might be hard to tell from video but just a heads up. Thanks for posting!
My torque wrench is only rated up to 90 ft. lbs. so no risk in over tightening the lugs. Good point though.
Would you switch the tires the same way for a dual motor Model 3?
For the dual motor you likely do not need to rotate the tires. I never had to on my A4 quattro and the tires wore evenly. Wouldn't hurt to rotate them front to back on the same side though.
I was told by a service tech to just rotate front to back for AWD
Dang dude i got my bulb for 160 😭
Ouch. Have used $24 ebay HID bulbs with stock ballasts for testing and was surprised that they worked great. Likely will not last as long as name brand bulbs though.
Great tip about the 3D Printed jack pads. Thanks! If interested, here is a link for a Tesla wall mount charger: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3719017
Thanks, I printed out the following wall connector in black PLA and painted the logo red. www.thingiverse.com/make:705512
What do you do so set pressures monitors on the new location?
The car will adjust automatically after driving a few miles.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the video. Not sure how you can do it on a model 3 with jack stands since there is only one location for each tire to lift the car. Seems like your 2 floor lift method is the only way to rotate the tires.
It should be possible to lift the side of the car with one jack, then place a jackstand under the other unused lift point. Have not tried though. Two jacks does work well for quick tire rotations.
Ah. I’ll give it shot. Thanks.
That was helpful, thanks. I was able to find this bulb at fcpeuro.com for $60 (no affiliation). Beat the $400 dealer price!
It's been 2 years since your comment but how did the fcpeuro light bulb held on? Did it last? Thanks
@@eduardoangeles4412 bulbs have been perfect and were same as OEM from Audi. Still using them without issue 👍
@@thehomez thanks for the reply. I just ordered it
@@eduardoangeles4412 Nice. Just make sure you don't touch the bulb part as the oil from your hands can cause issues when they get hot
Thanks alot for the vid. Just had to install new HID's on my b8 s4. fucking 8k look beautiful. def helped out when i was out in 20 degree weather. should check out my channel i post new vids weekly on my b8 s4. just posted a stage 1 tune! great stuff, thanks again!
Glad it was useful!
Does the cam also capture sound?
It does not.
did the whole process but did not show the camera icon after inserting the flash drive, do you know why this is happening?
I had that problem once and needed to format the drive again. What size flash drive are you using? Seemed to have better compatibility with an 8GB vs. larger.
hey man is your Audi the version with curve lights?
It has the premium plus package, so bi-xenon headlight and LED running light strip on the bottom.
Great Help ! Thank you !
You saved me a lot of money the dealer wanted to charge me $450 claiming they had to do a full system review.
Brian Kelso Wow, that's crazy. Glad I saved you some cash.
Thanks for your help
Thanks dude
