The Last Owner Bodged This!!
Рет қаралды 18,744
Күн бұрынHey Guys
Unfortunately in this video I found a lot of issues with my car caused by the previous owner losing things. I also did some routine maintenance, hopefully it lasts for a few more years yet.
Thanks for watching.

Nice work Kim ! I love copper slip but in last few years I’ve been using Ceratec brake lubricant it is metal free much nicer on ABS systems and it doesn’t dry out like copper slip can ! Might be worth a look ? A tube lasts ages ! Also you can get red rubber grease used for assembly of calliper pistons and other hydraulic brake components I use it on the slider pins as it also doesn’t dry out or harden up like other stuff can ? Your way is good just thought I’d share some knowledge and experience :)

More than that when you consider that the undertray fitting kits that are after market are over £10 and that is without the 3 main rear fixing bolts , my rule of thumb is that if is it after market TPS will charge double the price quoted by a non OEM seller.

@darreng745 Жыл бұрын
What it looks like is that the car was previously owned by someone who fancied themselves as a mechanic because they didn't wish to pay Audi servicing and repair rates let alone the prices that TPS charge for spare parts. Sadly their skill set did not match the level of expertise required to do the work properely as losing bolts and not refitting bolts is a classic sign of someone who can't concentrate on doing it right, plus the re fitting of EGR parts without gaskets is a sign that they don't care how much damage that can cause within the engine bay with hot gases swirling around near wiring and plastic components.. Well done for sorting out their total bellend approch to car maintenance, but a shame or a pox on them for selling a car that needed so much work due to their inability to do the maintenance correctly.

Blimey Kim. You have given that a birthday to remember👌 That Cam Belt is well overdue so just as well you are changing it. Kim, this might be useful to someone. About two years ago i contacted DAYCO (The people who make cam belts) & asked them how you decode their Date of Manufacture Markings so straight away i can tell you that your old belt was made WK 44 of 2013. I bet you knew this already? It's very simple to do. The first two numerals denote the Yr of Manufacture, so in your case it was 13 meaning 2013, The second two numbers denote the week of manufacture so in your case it was 44. The other numbers are for their benefit really, it tells them the position of the belt on the giant rollers in the factory where it was made. Obviously they don't just make one at a time, they make several & slice them about an inch thick but if there was a problem with Quality Control, then they know where to look, It could be something like a bit of grit on the roller etc etc. You get the picture. 😉 To be clear this is only how DAYCO do it. No idea how other manufacturers label & date their belts but this is handy to know i think for people who buy a car without a service history but even with a service history a backstreet garage may swear blind that its had a new belt. Even the tensioners will have a date on them but just the Yr of Manufacture though. Love your videos. 👏👏
@CalamityKim1 Жыл бұрын
That’s really interesting. I didn’t know that. I have the receipts from when it was last done which was 65k miles I think. It was just about 100k when I changed it but I thought I am better changing it sooner rather than later. Not to mention the drive belt bearing was on its way out. Thanks for taking the time to explain that. Kim 😊
@ianwoollard9008 Жыл бұрын
@@CalamityKim1 You're welcome😉👍 I think you was wise to change it. Not sure what VW recommend but i was taught as a rule of thumb that the belt needs changing every 5 yrs / 60,000 miles. One thing to add is that when you buy a cam belt kit there is a chance that it could be new but old stock so best to check the date i think. 👌😉
@darreng745 Жыл бұрын
@@ianwoollard9008 Most modern VAG vehicles for a diesel is 112,500 miles or 5 years I tend to be cautious on that and subtract 10% of the miles so go for around the 100,000 mark. The only issue has been the removal of the locating pin on the newer generation of cambelt kits so you have to preload the spring tensioner to get the belt set right. The guys who did my CC took three attempts to get it to set right as when they turned it over by hand the belt came off due to the lack of tensioning so it can be an issue, I will know in the next couple of months if rhat is still the case as my 68 plate Passat is due a cambelt change.
