Extracting Broken Bolts In The S6 Wagon... How Hard Could It Be? 

That Helicoil was crooked, that’s why that bolt snapped.( most likely ) I usually will you a ratchet with putting the bolts in something that’s got helicoils, instead of a power tool. You can feel the bolt better n know if it’s getting bound up etc… and after you weld the nut on the stud you want to smack it with a hammer while it’s still glowing red, not after it’s started to cool .. ( imho,and just giving my experience ) valve covers looked great ✅

I like his cinematography and how his color grading makes everything look like Kodak Gold 200. I dig it a lot!!

It’s Saturday!!!! W video w RU-vidr w editing w videography

"How Hard Could It Be" Famous last words.

Love the little into edit at 1:00 minute mark! Keep up the great work! Easily one of my favorite RU-vid channels, i'm looking forward to watching your growth brother!

Killer intro, keep it up! Your projects you are currently working on are part of my bucket list cars to own.

the intro on this vid was so good. Really enjoyed the vibe it gave off, espescially with the music choice!

Love the style! Thanks FPW

Lovin the intros. Some of the best in the game. Keep killing it.

Love the videos🔥🔥

Absoluty love your videos man, Can't wait for the next episode and I especially can't wait for the golf.

Subscribed and liked :) I like your commentary first, second like how you (same like me) struggling with bolts and wrenching old "shitboxes" ;) Keep it up mate!

I love your video style, it’s so refreshing vs the rest of the auto RU-vidrs. Keep up the good work 👍

Just discovered your channel. Wonderful! You’ve got a new sub! 😊

Oh shit, pretty sure we went to college together and shared a few gym sessions. Best of luck with the algorithm. Channel gonna blow up with vids like this

That is a thumbs up just for the intro alone 😍

keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing your new content every week :))

Subbed because of ronald finger

Cars like these. People call them "The problem child" But these is actually years of neglect and abuse 😢

So frustrating I'm sure. You'll get it on the road whether with that motor or a new one. Keep up the great content!

Oh man, I deeply sympathize with you haha. I recently rebuilt some K04s for my b5 s4 and while torquing the brand new bolts for the oil drain line.. SNAP. Brand new turbo cartridge with new threads as well. but for some odd reason the bolt wouldn't tighten and snapped. Luckily I was able to extract it with option 2. Went back to my spare old bolts and those worked perfect !

Great video man on the weld extraction back the nut of 2-3 turns if you can then weld its sometimes easier to break the rust free by tightening first 👍

Sweet! It’s Saturday which means another awesome video to watch; so excited for what this one brings us!!👍

Using a 12 point socket on the tap is amazing instead of using an adjustable wrench.

Weld the waterpump in place and later buy a new engine

Hello I watch your videos for about a week and I really like what you do I’m planning to Bun an s4 b5 and I talked whit the owner and I will se the car tomorrow and I’m really happy about this project car I hope you have a good work

Frog and toad shirt goes hard

i love this channel

Your videos are so good, keep up the great work. Also it is a pleasure to see a refelxion of me in you, we are pretty similar xD

The other night. I had a dream that you got into eating rat meat and died of plague. Weird shit man. Glad you're ok.

Damn Man, that’s kind of brutal. I’m sending you some posi-vibes it’ll get sorted out.

Its the way you made a terrible ordeal an entertaining watch :chefskiss:

Went through all this same shit on my 2.8 B5. Remove the front end next time.

Thanks

There's a certafit. They are better than a helicoil. It's a full sleeve instead of just a coil.

Fluxcore? Should of cleaned the remaining stud visible, weld washer on, weld nut to that and twist while glowing DONT LET IT COOL

I wonder why the OEM bolts are made of a material that snaps so easily? I would say at this point to trade them out with hardware that is more durable.

Ronnie sent me.

overbore the water pump bolt hole on the assembly and on the block then run a larger bolt with a different thread pitch? not a perfect solution but maybe a more permanent solution

Went thought all these with my b5 water pump. Eventually got another housing

👍🏼👍🏼

Send it….. then swap it 😂😂😂

Why didn’t You paint the valvecovers red ❓🤪

Do a BEL 2.7 it’s got the stronger bottom end, etc

I hesitate to criticize a working mechanic, but I wouldn't have been using a power tool on something I'd just put a helicoil in. I'm voting the "Send It" route unless you're going to do a legit rebuild on the motor.

❤❤🎉❤❤🎉❤❤🎉❤❤

Welding is the funnest thing you should buy a flux core MiG welder for your yt get a flux core so you don’t have to buy argon gas

You said swap… another stock or built bottom end, VR6 Turbo build, stock AEB 1.8 big turbo, dare I hurt everyone’s feelings and say K24 swap?

Awsome vid as always, fyi never ever blast media on valvecover, one tiny particle thats left over after WILL destroy your engine. Not worth the risk :)
