Deano, I hope you took everything! Especially the Pan roof, these aren't covered through glass insurance and cost 4 figures to replace. Grab the headliner aswell if someone buys it for a conversion. All the little things like vents etc. Always someone wanting the little less important bits. Doors you can repair and sell on. The block alone will get you your money back. I'd be interested in the rims if they're any good. You'll get easy 8k back if that engines not got physical damage. Do you only get to visit the car once to remove the bits.
Decent haul. I'd have pulled the doors off and stripped them at home, it's just faster than taking the door cards off by themselves. There's always someone with a broken window reg/motor or door lock on a VAG car. Always worth grabbing anything that's metal and easy to get off, particularly if it's aluminium (bonnet?) bit of scrap to put some fuel in the van is always a winner.

Unfortunately you missed a lot of items as listed by others. You should have taken everything you could and gotten rid of the stuff as and when you decided it wouldn’t help you. For instance, to take all 4 doors off would have been quicker, easier than stripping the bits you felt you wanted thus leaving time to strip more from the car. Good video though, it highlights what people can get

Yes exactly, they are. It was good call with the lights though for the modules Take them apart and sell the black plastic housing as someone will use it for a repair. Any bit of trim like the centre console and flip up rest will probably be about £500 to £1000 from Audi as a new replacement so there will be someone out there looking for parts like this....especially if they have kids and they have wrecked stuff in the car....
Ha! I've heard a number of stories from people who locked the keys inside the car and decided to break the smallest window. Everyone said that when they found the price, they realized they should have broken the windshield instead.
I would of taken the ignition lock and door lock as well as the keys cos lock sets go for a fair bit. Doors may of been damaged but the hardware is always worth money. Still loads of bits on that which is worth money but it depends on how far you wanted to go with it. Loved the video nonetheless 👌🏾

How much you can make depends on how much time you want to put in to removing and listing everything I guess. I’m pretty sure you don’t have too much time to spend, so take the fast moving high value items only & cut your losses on the rest. That said keeping things like connectors is a great idea as you will always need them for future VAG basket cases!
I think the amp is under the front passenger seat. And if it's a navigation plus, it would be worth another 1000 as an upgrade. Think there is still a good 2500 left in parts on the car 😆
Not sure if you should have taken the window motor/regulator and offer it as a kit for folding mirror upgrade. I know on the golf you need the mirrors, switch and regulator and probably some coding as well. Nice video 😎

It's interesting to see you have to go through this process for a B Category car. We call them Statutory Write Off here in Australia and can take them home once bought (but can't put back on road)
@@joeblack007 I bet they drain fluids and remove engines by just cutting stuff to make sure they don’t have liquid leaks and contamination and bet you only get 1 shot at taking parts so makes the process quicker
Rocking find if the engine is good, that's worth triple what you paid for of course. Even if eng+gearb are bad you'd still get your money back with what you took off I think, plus engine parts like the crankshaft, valve cover, etc. Are worth a lot. Great find!
Hi from durham dean 👋 👍 i woul of took everything apart from plastic leave a bare shell and all harnesses crashed or bent metal take and ad to your weigh in pile mate left loadsa money on that lol but you defo doubled money and got your bits for free engine box and rear subframe assembly 👌thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍👋
Definitely a good buy , I would have taken door locks ignition barrel ecus / bcm could have sold it with the keys but you done well mate in limited time 😎 can’t wait to see where engine and box are going 💪🏻
As others have mentioned, there is likely quite a few bits left behind that are worth a few ££s but ultimately it’s also a case of having the time to list on line to sell, also store it in the mean time and some bits could sit around for some time. The engine alone has surely brought you straight into profit alone. Nice video again.
I used to work in a breakers yard, one of the upper end ones that cleaned up parts and sold off the shelf. I wouldn't trust that engine and gearbox as far as I could throw it looking at the whack it's had. Cracked castings, often internal were an issue as well as mounting points and flanges on the castings for things like engine mounts, gearbox bellhousing damaged, things like bent crankshafts and gearbox mainshafts.
I would have taken the windows and regulators, also if you had a battery booster pack you could of applied power to help get the pan roof out. Another great video none the less.
Things I spotted you may have missed and are worth something: the B&O amp / sub ... ECU? ... loom ... mirror module ... the MMI and screen ... Auto dimming rearview mirror ... Air vents ... Don't worry the panoramic is a cut and grind out job and nobody retrofits those. The brake calipers are worth 2k alone to the right buyer. Nice.
Leave the seats in the sun for a while and they should come good. I would have taken the doors intact so you had everything, take all the interior including dashboard and sell it as a complete package for anyone wanting to upgrade a standard A3 and I would have cut the roof off to take the panoramic roof. I wouldn’t have left much there, possibly would have taken rear cuts also in case anyone wants a rear cut for a damaged car. Good buy, you should at least double your money
Great video! Very interesting and a bit different than being stuck in the workshop. My dad who’s not with us anymore used to say “there’s money in shite, if you can get enough of it” in this case he’s definitely right. £3,000 for all them parts? When you get them back to the workshop do a quick internet search and see how much it would cost you to buy all that “stuff” that other folk would have left. Great job….. at least Dick Terpin wore a mask 😉
I thoroughly enjoy your videos and I watch every single one of them as soon as they are posted :) When it comes to what more to take from the car it's of course a question of invested time and potential profit that is the deciding factor but I would've spent some more time getting the black A, B and C pillar trim as well together with the black roof liner and I would've gotten more parts from the doors like the window regulators and some linkage for the handles and locks. In short, I would've take the entire doors off and lugged them home with me :) Probably would've taken the center console as well and the small rear windows, but again, I realize you have a business to run and that the time needed to strip it down further might not be worth it. Again, excellent content.
The engine and gearbox would be great in a A1 or Polo, that is if you can get it to fit! Should be able to recover the full purchase price quite easily, but I would have taken the complete doors (strip them back at the yard) , rear crash bar and windscreen as well
If U wanna get good money for the black headliner U better take the 4 handles, sunvisors, interior lights and a, b and c style panels. The airvents from the dash are also worth a lot of money. Centerconsole with mmi brings U good money. Comfort module is also an expensive item. The loom from the B&O soundsystem makes the entire B&O set worth more. It's placed nearside the oem looms.....not woven in.
You'll definitely get your money back on the parts. Then go and buy a knackered Scirocco and transplant the running gear. I don't think anyone has a five pot Scirocco yet! Good luck anyway. 👍👍
Dean if it's metal you can sell it for scrap. I'd have taken all the doors, the quarter panels. Cut up the whole car and chassis frame if you can and leave the unwanted plastic behind.
Dont think anyone has mentioned brake master cylinder, its larger than R32 which is larger than MK5 GTI. Without it pedal feels pants when upgrading to bigger RS brakes. Great video, top effort rescuing what you did. Checklist next time would prevent the amp miss ? Definitely a Caddy RS3 , go show Monky London a few tricks
Dean, I'd have taken a grinder to the roof and rear quarter panels and cut them out along with the windscreen if not broke, cut the A pillars straight off! Passenger door aswell but I am quite tight!😂
I’d have had the door glass that wasn’t broken, window regs/motors. Definitely the indicator/wiper stalk unit as people are always snapping the ribbon cable in them. Should still get a good return on your 3 grand with what you have. Even if a bit bent the wheels could still be repaired and refurbed and go for decent money.
I reckon you left over a grand in that! Amp for the stereo - MMI and and controls, doors (strip at home) bonnet -Aluminium - wheels if bent can be weighed in for scrap.
I agree with others, I would have taken all the doors and the ignition barrel then you would have had a full set of locks, door windows and window actuators/motors. Granted you would then have to store or get rid of the damaged door skins. But then if someone needed a door the damage being minor could have possibly been repaired at the same time as a respray. Plus it would have saved you a lot of time to focus on the roof.
Full interior inc dash. All doors and boot. Rear bumper. Wiring loom. Clips and those random bits. Basically as youve paid for it, as much as you can fit in the van.
Hats off to make a vid aswell, jeez you did well..all that setting up pause,rec, time lapse etc all takes time, and your there too strip a car 😮 lol. Nice one great vid❤
so much more you could & should of taken !! Left a tidy some right there ! rear o/s glass (factory tinted) to match the other side door glass u took & tailgate ! centre console & dash trim (in black) upgrade from the silver naff looking one on the S3 !! Pan roof does come out as a full unit & dosnt need the screen out to remove (a fortune) ....... did u take all the door cards with the switch's on for the foldy mirrors ?? If so ill have the foldy mirrors (with the switch) (just let me know how much u want ?) cheer Dean :)
Lights, mirrors, door handles, wiper motors, headliner, door panels, various electronics and modules, window mechanisms with the electric motors, small windows in the back and on doors as well
thankyou Dean great content,,,without a doubt youll double your out goings,,but whatever you get youll not lose on it,👍👍 have a good weekend,,just out of interest,is the Mrs running around in the vw caravelle yet Dean???
Dean, I would have taken the Bang & Olufsen amp that was under the front passenger seat, along with the entire MMI system, air vents, blower motor, door glass & door rubbers, any reasonably accessible nuts/bolts, wiring loom & electrical connectors.
yeah, the glass mate. I believe its a thicker (non standard) glass on the RS, so would have value to someone repairing a slavage job. I agree with below, when I've done a simialr thing I take everything I can andthen work out what wont sell and get rid then. My rule is that everything has potential value, its only a high price that hinders a sale....
Looks like you got a pretty substantial haul of goodies there Dean. If you could cover the cost of the car with everything bar the engine then you got yourself an RS3 engine for free. Hopefully it's a good 'un.
you should have taken all the doors, looks like you left the window regulators in. also removing the whole door would have been quicker then striping them there
You'll def get your money bk or more that is for sure , with the price some rs parts are going for online i don't see a problem.... great video as always dean 👍🏼
You could have taken more easy stuff, like - Weather strips - ABS module - Door handles - Center mirror - Connectors and wiring looms But nevertheless you pulled some really good stuff.
Loved the video Dean, and I think you’ve easily made your money back on the parts you stripped. Like with any VAG products, everything seems to have a big price now, so It’s a safe buy in my opinion. As for the engine, put it in a Golf mk 7, a few have been done, but not that many👍👍
I would remove the ecu for the engine and ignition barrel and auto gear stick, cut out the roof on each corner and take the sunroof and sunroof module button etc
If the rear clusters were the dynamic ones then that’s an easy £300 Arm rest and all doors rubbers also sell well 👍🏻 Also all the black trims as people like to decrome Folding mirrors also need the door control modules to do the upgrade and also the control panel 👍🏻 Also check for puddle lights (lots have upgraded RS puddle lights (another easy £100) 👍🏻
Not a bad haul Dean. Think, as you had the grinder in your tool box, I might have cut out the locks and ignition barrel to go with the keys. Also might have been tempted to pull the glass. Chees, Bob
I would have ground off the rear quarters, taken every bit of door glass, including the two rear quarter glass. Would defo not have left that centre console. Take some cheese wire with you next time to cut out the bonded in windows, you could have then taken the Pan roof. Even the fuel tank, mate, you missed loads. Stuff you may not sell right away but at some point, there was a lot left on the rear of that you could have sold to someone repairing one that's had a rear shunt.
a few things you missed like black window strips they're a fortune from Audi , small things like the sill scuff plates door handles glass etc, if the engine is good then that alone is your money back , all the other bits over £2k easy, probably double your money...
Should have taken all the interior panels along with the roofliner as folk who don’t have black roofliners like putting it in if they have white…. Could be about at least £300 you’ve just flung away with the centre console included? Also all the looms would have been handy
Put the engine in a caddy Dean !! You could make good use of a caddy and with an rs3 running gear and other stuff it would also make a good handy fast daily, and more importantly than that it would be amazing content on your channel 👍
There is so much more stuff you can take. Like LCD, Climate Control display, Car menu system down in console, Wents are hard to find and expensive (for wents) because everyone wants them in 8p version. Behind dash there are lot of electrical systems with good selling price and also electrical systems in trunk.. Ah you waste there probably 1500-2000£ or more..
Nice video again. This stuff is worth about 5k I think with the engine. Hopefully the engine is an easy fix and nice to fit in a sleeper. I am sure we will see it some day. Have a great weekend.
Worth a punt as that engine is worth huge money. I did ask at my Audi dealer in 2017 and apparently they would supply a new engine for £25k, not sure that included fitting at the dealer labour rates.
The engine could be toast, I have seen engines that have taken a really hard knock, destroy pistons due to excessive GeForce and high rpm impact can cause the crank to twist. Still have a great weekend
Not sure about in the UK but here in Canada I would have taken the doors complete because the windows and door handle mechs are worth money and it would have saved time.
I broke a corsa E a few years back the little crappy bits added up to so much in the end so I’d have left as little as possible, the wrapping and posting was a ball ache though 🙈 The bits you have taken less the bits your keeping should cover the cost of buying the car.
Chuck the engine in a Kodiaq !!! Please! There was a guy put one in a Yeti and did track days in it! Though am sure that took a lot of modifying. , Yeti RS in search and you’ll probably find it if you don’t already know of it!
Yep I would have taken doors, bonnet and rear hatch..all windows, basically it would have been a shell, because even the small parts are worth money, as Audi won't sell the little things unless they are attached to a big part that they charge ridiculous amounts for
Great video I definitely think you could get the money back for what you have there did you get the sunroof wind deflector if so how much I have a 3 door a3 s line how much would you sell front seats for pref the front hooe all goes well for you 👍😉
Unless you have the control modules, some of what you’ve taken may be worthless. Bose, unless you have all the looms and amps is. But you have enough to make a small profit.
You know "sods law", you'll have an RS3 salvage car at some point that needs doors. Weren't the doors okay on this car? Also you could have taken the ignition barrel and other lock barrels to sell as a lock kit with the key blades. The ignition barrels commonly fail (jam on or jam off) on VW Group vehicles and need to be replaced.
Great video but Should have taken all the electrical stuff in the doors switches and motors and taken another door with the light damage they’re still worth money even with light damage even the glass but obviously ball ache trying to get it out, all the centre console and I would of tried to get the dash apart for the screen and the looms even the vents and trim pieces are worth money easily left over a grands worth of parts on that car but a good amount taken I reckon over 10k with engine and box
