Auto news on Youtube Dec 30 2018

Hello, long time no see

It's been almost a month from the last time I have been here in the garage.

I have just cleaned the last episodes mess

In this episode we just work bit more with that Audi

I got a cylinder compression tester from cousin

and I thought we check those cylinders just in case

to be sure that everything is ok in there

Then I went to warehouses and found two Golf 3 brake boosters

And it seems to have same bolt pattern what that Audi has

those have ball on the rod end and Audi uses a fork that screws in place

but we have to see if we could cut that rod and make a threads to it

that could be the solution for my brake booster swap

I have also got some new parts

got that steering rack pipe done

that's about all. Let's get to work

forgot to say in the beginning

would be nice If anyone there has a coupe's front bumper that fits to S2

and would be even nicer if you are selling it

that current bumper is in quite bad shape

middle grill is also missing and I wouldn't want to start fixing that.

or if someone has that grill to sell, then I could think of repairing.

but I'll try to hunt the complete bumper

and if you have please take a contact. You can find the email from channel details.

or just make a comment so we could continue from that.

I got those RS2 bumpers that came with the car

but the other one had got hit by a wheel loader bucket

and it was totaled beyond repair

other one doesn't fit and is bit more square looking than the RS2 one

and I think it doesn't even look good

and thenm I got new steering wheel....

got a year 2000 S6 steering wheel

thanks to guy who send it, altho I paid for it

but think I got it with a nice price

that was 100€

but there will be a problem with blinker switches

automatic return won't work

I could buy a seperate airbag ring and modify it so it would work.

but I found out that -96 > 2000 A4 has a same kind of levers thingy

so if you have it with OBC switches

I would be really interested...

and even better if there is also plugs with cut wires

so I could fit it in place nicely

it should have that airbag ring on

and then if someone has a Cabrios steering wheel plastic cover

it should fit to that different lever thingy...

but there was my needs...

there is those brake boosters

other one is missing a foam and it's there on the table

but I think that one could be in better shape

dunno, but anyway have to see if one of those fits

and have to see if we could make threads to this and it's long enough

dunno how hard it is so have to just try

and if that Audi's fork has about the same size threads

those 4 bolts seems to be at same pattern

as it's in there also

I'll take that one off

and see if those brake boosters will fit to there...

I went to local store and got this pipe done

this was the return side of those hydraulics

this one with those t-pieces

I made just a single hose as those other ones we don't need

if we convert to vacuum booster

then I have washed these parts

that fluid reservoir was quite nasty

that belt cover was also bit dirty

that plastic on the block side was broken, so we need to get that one

so we get that belt covered

then we have this compression tester

so we'll try to use that to measure cylinder pressure

I have never used one, but think it's quite easy task to do...

so we put GoPro filming and see what happens

it was quite simple thing to do

I just took all spark plugs off

Just screwed this in one at the time.

think it had some affect how tight I screwed it

but every cylinder was about 13kg/cm3

counted 10 revolutions for every cylinder

now we know that every cylinder has pressure

if you would like to get exact reading

think it would require second test

but that's enough for me

then we start to take that brake booster thingy off

and see what kind of rod and fork there is

and see can we fit one of those

German engineer has planned a nice mounting thing...

nuts are behind there and impossible to reach...

I dunno if this whole mounting thing comes off from the other side...

on the otherhand if I get that off

I won't be able to get that new one on

so have to see from the otherside

with quick check seemed you have to take pedals off

there it is and can't get it on the camera

but have to see bit more

finally got that off, there was one return spring holding

which come to that hole

but it was bolted with 3 nuts from the pedal side

dunno about that bolt pattern

have to undo all

this one was about the same lenght as those one.

from there to there is 20cm

so have to see if we could use this bolt, it's only 8.8 but think it will be strong enough

just cut that and weld that bolt on

but before we do anything, have to see that everything fits properly

hope we don't have to modify anything...

but anyway I'll take that one apart first

test fitted and had to make some changes

I had to reroute that cable thing

before it went from top

I had to take one brakeline off

then I also had to loose clutch pipe

so I could get that cable down enough.

then there is those bolts that are on the way

have to see how those are fitted

think those needs to be cut off

those are just for the fuel line support

and that could be relocated there or there

that wont be a problem

think there was another support also and don't remember for what...

Could be for the cables...

so we don't need this one... Have to just figure how to reroute that cable thingy properly...

anyway I get that off and see what kind of it is now

I moved the old master cylinder to this one

and that mount thingy bolted straight on

I have few millimeters to play with as I could move that booster bit

Could put something between the mount

there is like 5-8mm to work with

then we can also play with this bolt like so..

if we look what's behind this rubber as we think will that bolt hold

think that bolt is stronger than this ball joint..

there won't be so much sideway forces as main force will come from longitudinal-axis

so I think that bolt would be just fine

What I did, I moved that cable that goes to ECU to there

before it was routed from here

that pipe I had to loose. That's the clutch hydraulics.

have to bleed the clutch also, didn't see any thing how to do that...

this could be also a problem

this is the power steering pipes

it should go to that banjo bolt

think we need to bend that pipe a bit

those needs to be cut also that it will fit

think a piece need to be cut from there also

but at the time I would say that it will fit ok

Ok let's end here and try to make little shorter episodes in future

and in regular basis also

there was like 1 months brake for these things

but now on I try to get 1 video out per week as I now have more time to spend in the garage.

next time I think we continue work with that booster

I will refurbish that behind the cameras so I'll save some time

as it's quite simple task to do.

but next time think we weld that bolt

and make some better test fitments

really reasonable work when car won't even start properly

but there is lot of room to work now

as when I begin getting that engine run properly

I need to put cooler and coolant in

but if You have those parts what I need

I would apreciate if you could take a contact

So it would make my day much easier

but anyway this was it..bye

ok we dont say bye just yet

I didn't remember to go through the costs.

so we are still in the 68.80€

I thought I'dd add the costs after something gets bolted to engine or to body

I have calculated that I have spent already over 300€

on parts and stuff that will go to car

but we are still on 68,80€...Now we can say Bye!

Audi RS4 2019 B9 Review by AutoTopNL (English Subtitles) - Duration: 6:16.

2018 is for AutoTopNL

the year of the new RS4/5

This is the sixth one we drive.

I have to say

As I drive it more often..

I appreciate it better

The first time you drive this

Lets say coming out of a C63

one of its competitors..

This car then is not very overwhelming

or impressive..

But

This car is like a good wine..

In this case a red one..

At first

The RS4 in stock trim

.. we've also had tuned ones

is not exciting.

But

You have to get to know this car

You need to push boundaries

Yours and the cars..

You then find out it's better to drive

then any previous RS4

Sure that V8 from the previous one

the B8

was superb.

Sensational!

Deserves a spot in the engine hall of fame

This setup

Like this new Quattro system

it's amazing

In January

we got to know it.

On a ski slope

bizar..

And with standard winter tires

we went up a ski slope!

Not even with studs..

Those pieces of metal

I thought:

No way this is going to happen

No way we get more than 5 meters

But it was bizar

How far up the slope it got..

You noticed the rear

that rear axle

was really playful!

It wanted to play

When you have this car for a few days

You start praying for Quattro weather!

Just a bit of moist

Then this is right at home

and it then starts showing what it can do..

This also has the Audi Sport exhaust

Not impressive..

It's an optional exhaust

and

it doesn't grab me..

If you look at the optional AMG and BMW M exhausts

Those are bizar

This is understated..

A problem of the current RS4/5

A sidenote..

It's quite understated..

It feels more like an S4+

There's never any violence!

It's always safe

When you get in a C63 or M4

You start at the top

experience wise..

You get overwhelmed by the sound

the dynamics

But you do get bored at some point..

It then goes down..

This RS4 has a line that goes upwards

You appreciate it more and more

You do more stuff with it

That I really like..

The potential for this car is huge..

If you look at ABT

of who we also tested the RS4

You see what's possible..

when you get bored with the standard power or looks..

The Audi RS4 Avant is available from 120.000 euro's (NL)

This one is 164.000

44.000 on options

But it does look that expensive though..

We have a carbon rear diffuser

carbon front bumper inlay

carbon interior parts

carbon mirrors

carbon side skirts

carbon engine cover

This whine is not a Chateaux Margot

but a Misano red

What a great colour!

Some other options:

heated seats.....

That's a bit weird..

and the Dynamic pack

Which means this can do 280km/h

We measured 285 (GPS) and 294 on the speedo

and you also get the sport diff on the rear axle

Which makes it super in terms of dynamics

ALL YEAR LONG

A true Audi RS

2018 Audi Q5 Gets New Clothes And A Power Boost From ABT - Duration: 2:38.

Take a peek under the new skirt of this Audi Q5 and you'll find an aftermarket exhaust system, with actual visible tips

The vehicle comes from ABT Sportsline and parades the tuner's latest offerings aimed at Audi's premium compact SUV

In addition to the rear skirt set that fits both the wide and slim body packages, and also incorporates a new exhaust system (with four tailpipes 84 mm / 3.3 in in diameter each), the Audi Q5 can also be equipped with a new optional rear wing

New coilover suspension springs ensure the body can be dropped between 35 and 60 mm (1.4-2.4 in) compared to the regular models.

And with this upgrade installed, there's still room for some big wheels, 20 and 21 inches in size, called DR, ER-C and FR, which round up the updates on the outside

Inside, the German tuner can equip the latest Audi Q5 with their own carbon fiber gearstick cover on request, as well as an ABT-branded ignition button

In the power department, the 2.0-liter TFSI petrol engine can be massaged to deliver 300 PS (296 hp / 221 kW) and 420 Nm (310 lb-ft) of torque, up from 252 PS (248 hp / 185 kW) and 370 Nm (273 lb-ft) of torque

The 2.0-liter and 3.0-liter oil burners are eligible for more power as well.The smaller diesel produces 215 PS (212 hp /158 kW) and 440 Nm (325 lb-ft) of torque with the new Engine Control Unit, and the larger one is good for 330 PS (325 hp / 243 kW) and 670 Nm (494 lb-ft) of torque

As for the range-topping model of the new Audi Q5 family, the SQ5, it already visited ABT, receiving an additional 71 PS (70 hp / 52 kW) and 50 Nm (37 lb-ft) of torque
