Catch and release

I do food videos while high af on my KZfaq channel.

more like YT revenue the reason lolz

Tyler is the reason so many car mechanics are still surviving.

Good point

$$$

Wish we'd see more of him

Hoovie has to use the cash back card

My dentist too, I make his Maserati payments every time I see him.

oil change not included :D

uses a lot of cardboard

Ninja and Car Care Nut could go head to head for the cleanest shop.

@@chrisg723 Ninja for the win. 😉

Came here to say the same thing. It's like a hospital operating theatre.

My former mechanic kept his shop immaculate like Ninja's. He did great work and was honest to a fault. Haven't been able to find as good a mechanic since he retired.

He's taken more hits than rocky balboa.

@@generalzod7959 Yes but hits generate views and therefore $

@@AB-jz9ns oh, I know. And the wizard & ninja love him for it. 😄 plus, it's entertaining.

Damn right. And he`s got taste. Rare are the youtuber into the smooth rides and no afraid to mourn the death of soft, affordable cars

its not really character stopping most people, more funding but yeah its cool hoovie does crazy things for a living :)

And not even the common courtesy of a reach around

Well he keeps buying eurotrash which is how he keeps his channel afloat with views, otherwise he wouldn't have a channel of hoopties with toyota's, honda, acura's or lexus.

@@fiily1fr? tell me more🤔😥

@@fiily1 That is so true

the most expensive car in the world is a cheap German car

Wait to buy this one cheap after it financially ruins Tyler 😅

I always seem to want these sweet Euro rides until I watch Hoovies videos. Think I’m gonna have to pass on this one.

The budget-busting repair costs are exactly why the used market prices for these cars are so low, you know. Of course, depreciation is multi-faceted; reliability or lack thereof is just one factor in the equation. My Grand Marquis is reliable and cheap to fix, but Ford made a ton of them and they aren't cool cars to most people.

@@Watcher3223 And that's the reason why I'll never get one. Could afford the price but die on the upkeep

Audi absolutely nailed their styling around 2008-2010: A5 and A7 are absolutely beautiful! Even the A4 and the Q5 of the period look fantastic for what they are.

A lot of people are afraid of high mileage bmws but I have been seeing a lot go on sale with 150k miles for a bargain price. Even if you have to throw in 3k to make it mechanically perfect, I think it's worth it as long as it doesn't look beat up.

@@stevelouie5928 someone near me was trying to sell a 300k mile clapped out 3 series for 7 grand. A week later it was 3500 and a week after that it got scrapped. Bargains are getting hard to find for sure.

I agree. I bought my first car, which was a 2008 Audi A6 4.2l Quattro S-line in an auction for $4200 after tax. It has 162k Miles, but the people regretted to tell me the transmission was toast. After 7 months of sitting and fixing, plus 5k in repairs, it been running and driving reliably. I'm at 178k Miles and while I do have oil and coolant leaks, it was never really a problem if u had an oil pan to put underneath. All my friends are always asking to buy it off me or to keep it for the day. Im 18 now and I still love my Audi ❤️

@@jacobbenton1147 Beat up economy cars are selling for 5k. Might as well buy a higher mileage european car for cheap and throw another 5k into and drive something fun. There are a lot of gems out there for 5k or less that are really clean. I just saw a 3 series wagon for under 4k with high miles. Even the first gen ML320s can be had for 3 - 5k tops. You could turn that into an off road beast.

@@stevelouie5928 the 163 mls are all junk now though, I’d rather pay a little more for a 164 cause they hold up way way better. Not everyone has 15k to throw at a German car though.

'Cheap German car in the U.S.'

non mantained one... All those issues could have been so easily prevented with proper maintenance. Probably used cheap gas too on not to few occasions.

@@AI-qd4vb Yes, most of the issues could be prevented with the proper maintenance, but most people here in the US don’t do it either due to cost or they don’t care/know, hence why it’s sold on for cheap.

who is the guy with 65 cars?

@@Siracusano jrgarage.

@@Siracusano JR garage

I just wish it wasn't JR garage. They lied about how they funded everything and one of the brothers recently killed a friend street racing. Fuck those guys.

@@SiracusanoShmee paid him a visit recently also. Likes 944’s.

They say pain is the great teacher of mankind. Italian cars fit in there somewhere, too.

Oh, yes, I learned a great deal about auto maintenance from my Lancia. Then I got a Honda and forgot it all. A BMW that would have been a great Hoovie story that I paid $3k for ($27k too much) taught me again. Now my Prius is, thankfully, letting me forget my car maintenance skills … aside from signing the credit card receipt.

I own a 2003 Passat with the i4L 2.0 20V ALT, which is essentially the same architecture, esp. since the ALT is an Audi engine. The MAF is a platinum wire located just after the air filter. The throttle bodies on these cars are all electronic (EPC), so it's just a butterfly valve with a solenoid in the TB itself. There isn't any kind of Venturi valve, as such. The vacuum is created by the motion of the pistons combined with outside atmospheric pressure. The fuel runs in a loop (tank to rail and back to the tank again) via a pressure regulator, and the ECU controls the injector opening duration. The PCV vents in to the intake stream upstream of the MAF and downstream of the TB on my ALT, so maybe that helps keep the butterfly valve warm in cold weather. Not sure whether this maybe had to be routed differently on the V8 engines? Either way, I agree with your analysis in principle, and a quick search confirms that the reason for the design was indeed to prevent the butterfly valve from icing up in weather where the temperatures are below freezing. That said, I still find it odd/interesting that Audi felt the need to add this extra heating element to the TB on the V8. The exhaust manifolds on these cars chuck out some serious heat, and they're located beneath the cold air intake. Plus cold air is better in the intake (denser O2 content), so it seems counter-intuitive to heat it. Suspect this may be a bit of a gimmick to give the driver a sporty throttle response immediately upon entering the car, even when the engine is cold and there's snow outside. Obvs redlining a cold engine will significantly shorten its service lifespan, but maybe that's what a cynical person might say the manufacturer intended....?

@@Grantidge69 Icing in the throttle bore has always been an issue, carb or FI, car or airplane. In days of yore, 4 cylinder engines or straight 6's, the carbs and intake manifolds were usually mounted right above the exhaust manifold. And some still had some provision for coolant or exhaust heat to keep them warm. Merely a few decades ago, my fuel injected GTI (8V, HT or RD code) had a throttle body with no coolant hoses going to and from it, and it wasn't directly near the exhaust (but not too far away.) Took me a day or two of thinking about this to remember -- there's a thermostatically controlled flap in the air filter box, to either draw completely outside air in mild or hot weather, but in cold weather, a door moved and air was pulled from a duct right up against the exhaust manifold. Nowadays, they use coolant hoses. I'd like to think they've got a thermostat to reduce the addition of heat to the incoming air when it's not needed. Even without a venturi, I suspect there's still a pressure drop after the throttle butterfly.

@@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261 Thanks for the response and info. I just went out and had a look at my i4L... and there is indeed a spigot on the hard coolant line above the intake manifold that diverts coolant through the throttle body. !! Kind of embarrassed now. Thought I knew my engine architecture pretty well.... Every day is a school day, huh? I note the heat shield by the air filter housing extends up and under the MAF sensor housing, as it is located above the exhaust manifold and cat. So I think this architecture is intended to keep the butterfly valve warm, but not so much the actual charge air. And yes: the more the butterfly valve opens, the more the air pressure will drop, but the air mass increases, so the outside atmospheric pressure can push a greater volume of air into each chamber on its intake stroke, all the way up to WOT. There is defo also a MAP sensor on this i4L, so there is a constant comparative calculation between the MAF and the MAP data, and the data from the O2 sensors taking place. Gotta 💌 engineers, right?

Yup reminds of the days Hoovie had that Alpina B7 that was a total grenade lol

Yes, another great video from the Hoovie! I have an S4 too, not particularly fast but it sounds wonderful. Have you ever carbon cleaned yours?

@@ArcofZen I use crc intake valve cleaner on my 3.0 supercharged Q7 and it does a great job. Its a cheap and quick alternative but obv not as good.

@@ArcofZen These V8 sound really great. have a B7 S4, so it's port-injected, and the last time I checked, intake was reasonably clean. If you want to make yours faster, try Jackal Motorsports tunes. Slowly I am preparing to port my intake and try out what "Stage 3" might offer.

@@nelietis96 is it much effort to check? I had a TT years ago, mapped to ~265bhp which felt quite rapid. I know my B7 is heavier but it still doesn’t feel like it has 339bhp!

@@ArcofZen You would have to remove the whole intake to take a look, but it's not really a problem, that B6 and B7 have. Mine was replaced due to the flap not operating and reducing torque at low rpm when I fixed the carnage that was left after the chain decided to jump a tooth. It jumped because I decided to participate in a track day with broken guides😅 Now RS4 guides, all new seals all around, working intake flap and she is pulling strong. Because I got the car so cheap, even after engine replacement/tune-up, car cost me the same amount as a good example from Germany would cost to import. As this is the fastest car that I have ever driven or owned, so for me on the street it's plentiful and track cares more about handling anyways.

The secret to that is to stay away from German cars

If you do the work yourself, which takes skill, experience, facilities and equipment.....then it works. Most people can't so don't. If you can, that's a saving!

You can drive a lot of hours in those seats. They don't look so comfy but they really are. Love my S5. It's a great GT car.

I have a 2004 TT and I was thinking the same thing... 😁😁

@@AndrewAMartin mine is a 2005

@@speedboard. Nice! I don't drive mine enough, and I don't get to enjoy putting the top down very much where I live, so it sits like one of Hoovie's hoopties...

😂 BURN BABY BURN 🔥

Literally Tons and Tons of depreciating assets 😂

Moment of silence? He's gotten rich buying trashy cars and throwing away money on them.

@@BabyJesus66 umm no it is well documented that Tyler has other businesses he makes money off he’s not rich from buying hoopties

He also refuse any BMW Tyler buy.

He's said no to a few cars but yeah, it's usually because he expects them to be absolute headaches, but those headaches seem to be ones the Ninja has had so many times he doesn't even feel them anymore.

The Wizard doesn't usually do that?? Ok...

@@jaybeemhardscrote7466 - Nope. He should be Australian. Because of all the cars that boomerang back to fix what he missed or messed up himself.

@@BA-gn3qb I've seen a time or two when there's been an issue or two, even Tyler's cars sometimes, but the Wizard really seems to know a thing or two about fixing cars and doing it right. But I guess I don't know

@@jaybeemhardscrote7466 - Been watching Hoovie for quite a while now. Never a problem having a car fixed by Ninja. Always problems with Wizard. Ninja's place is cleaner and well run. Not Wizard's. He also never finishes his own pet projects, and recently sold some incomplete to others.
