Black water is the toilet. Grey water is the sink and shower. then you have the water tank you fill with drinking water that comes out of your shower head and sinks. It also goes to the hot water heater and ice maker if you have one. Fix the bad spot on the roof and once it is seated up use some bleach to kill the mold, paint it on the mold or spray it, and watch the bleach doesn't get on anything below, I would put plastic under it in case it drips. Then put up some new paneling. Just like new!
I’m rebuilding a grey B8.5 S4 rn myself. I’m in Massachusetts and it’s crazy hearing you say you can now daily your S4😂 Getting a rebuilt title in Mass is such a headache and of course you can’t drive it before you have that. Been waiting almost 3 months now and my inspection is next Tuesday…..wish me luck😭
In my case this s4 somehow never got a salvage title, so luckily I didn’t have to deal with that. I definitely wouldn’t have passed the rebuild inspection here without those airbags and seatbelts fixed, dents and misalignment they don’t care about. I’ve been there though, good luck!
Why are you wasting your time commenting on topics you clearly know nothing about? Likely because you enjoy it, this is your life and you’re living it however you desire. Guess what, that’s exactly what I’m doing. Do better.
Dude I have a q7 absolutely no power the fuse boxes have no power and the scanner have me like 20 codes I erased all but 1 code battery regulator control system just can’t be erased the fuse boxes get no power only a few on each box I was thinking it had the same problem you had with that Audi that it happened to be the fuse but the code it gave me route me towards battery control module 03041 part 0 199 000 017 any idea?
I've read about this sort of thing being caused by water intrusion into the battery area. Tilt away the driver's seat, check the battery, test fuses and relays, as well as the control module that's also under there. Look for corroded electrical connectors. Best of luck!
I am 16 years old and I bought a Audi a6 sedan 2001 as my first car and it only cranks and doesn’t start I’m hoping I get to fix it after seeing this video😅
Hey thanks for the video and all the info you put out there. I am a copart member and had same experience at most Illinois locations I thought i could show up and spend a few hours looking around. They said what are the lot numbers and brought them to me didnt let me walk around at all. Im in Illinois might get in touch soon for that dealer hook up of $150 to bid for me
private/3rd party sellers do bid on their own cars via a friend who have the ability to bid on them and it’s very common, to try to catch an unsuspecting buyer
also it’s not always the best idea to hook up directly to battery with the jump start if there’s posts available on the front. This is due to everything electrical being connected to the battery whereas the jump posts on the front don’t. You’re putting power to everything when you hook up in the battery to jump it
100% had it happen to me mulltiple times with 3rd party seller i like to stay away from them since usally there up to no good always hiding stuff or trying to make a quick buck of unsuspecing buyers
It's definitely able to be towed by a car, we towed a 32 foot trailer with a Cadillac before we were able to purchase a new 1500 Suburban. The Cadillac towed it to Myrtle Beach, SC from New Jersey five times, not to mention other trips to parks and dog shows. That trailer would be an awesome project for a tiny home, I would definitely seal the roof before any more water damage happened because water damage spreads like crazy! Great buy!
I just had to program in the end stops: car in drive & steering wheel straight, turn left all the way and hold until the beep, turn right all the way till the beep, done. No programming was needed
There’s a lot that goes into s4 swapping an a4. It would be a much more involved process, which isn’t really worth it considering that the a4 has a rebuilt and flood title, on top of “not actual mileage”. There’s wiring that would need to be changed, differentials, brakes, suspension, basically all control modules, etc etc
Had no idea that an Audi could sound like that nice! First video, have no idea how I ran into you, instant sub, very easy listening and no profanity, and other than the cars, I have no idea how to fix it. I think they are hot as coals! Watching your next video and the wagon audi is total fire! 🔥 I would put my daily in the garage to drive this beauty. I definitely do like the 4 door S something car of your other video.
What you paid for that is a steal you can get a new roof put on for 2 grand and get the interior rebuilt for another couple thousand if you could get it titled you could easily make money on it if you can't it's definitely worth $1500 to someone who needs parts find a 120v 30 amp outlet and test the AC I sold one in similar shape for 1000 to a guy for parts
Glad i came across this. Just did some water damage work at a copart in my area insane the cars and acres they have. I asked about bidding they said dealers only and online. I seen a salvaged perfect looking 2019 Jeep woundered why it was salvaged. They seem to have great deals.
Thanks! Still lots to do to fully finish it up but at least I can enjoy it! You’re welcome to shoot me a message if you want to come take a look at it before it’s at 100%
Throw a marine grade battery on it, and do not plug that 120v plug into a 220v, it’ll push way to much power and blow fuses and power boxes left right and centre.
Really good job with the exhaust Bro! I have essentially the same car (black 04 Allroad 6spd). I will need to come up with a solution for my midpipe as it has essentially rusted away. I'll worry about exhaust later though - as I have the engine out at the moment to deal with leaking turbo's.
bro, that was way too much smoke to be just oils from manufacturing. I got to tell you I'm really enjoying your videos. I'm laughing the whole time they are wonderful. Where are you from? What state?
Thanks! Yeah I agree. I genuinely have no idea what that smoke was about. It hasn’t come back since I drove it a decent amount. I’m in Appleton, Wisconsin
It's funny sometimes I'll see work like this and I'll be like who the hell would do such a thing? The answer is you.😂 no I mean I can't knock you for trying, but it is comical.
Yeah I guess it just shows that there’s always a backstory to every sketchy repair lol. Like I, myself, was wondering how and why the car ended up with no catback in the first place
To an extent I agree that the fees are frustrating, but keep in mind that Copart doesn’t pocket the money from the bid. They’re not the actual seller of the car, insurance is, Copart simply provides a platform and acts as a broker. With that in mind consider their expenses: a lot of real estate, equipment, wages for the various employees (customer service, IT people for the website and app, call centers, forklift operators, people who take the pictures and receive the cars, etc etc) They have a lot of expenses and after all this is a business which was created with the purpose of making money, and that’s what they’re doing for which I personally, can’t blame them.
Plus the $4200 I paid for the car with all the fees is still a good deal in my opinion. Everyone, including myself, posts the bid amount simply because it’s a better clickbait
Very nice work. I have a question, please. My car’s headlights don’t work. Nothing works in it. I tested the lights from the battery and it works. But when I reinstall it in the car, it doesn’t work. What is wrong my car 2007 vw touareg V6
100% agreed, sketchy is the best I’ve got at the moment, because I am the one paying for the shop (not really sure what you were getting at there). Thing is that I’m willing to look past sketchy things like wrong color panels and some panel gaps considering that this allows me to enjoy a $20k car for $8000 (cost of parts car included). Plus like I mentioned in this video as well as previous ones, I do plan to fully finish it eventually, the main thing was getting it to a drivable condition.
the hood not lining up is likely due to the metal part that the hood hinge sits on being damaged and sitting lower from the accident, the hinge pushed it down when the hood got damaged. You’d need one of those wishbone pullers to screw into it and pull it out, any way to fix that is either replacing it or some washers. Bleeding coolant you need a pump to pull vacuum or do the bleeder screws in sc and heat exchanger and there’s also another hose that goes into the firewall that has a hole in it designed like that from factory, pull that out so the hole lets out air, don’t need to pull out all the way
