SATA TOOLS: satatools.eu/ SATA'S AMAZON STORE: www.amazon.co.uk/sata SATA'S INSTAGRAM: satatools_uk In today's video we introduce my new Audi R8 V8 to the channel, and find out exactly why I bought it so cheap!! Instagram: Saving_salvage
Please Dean, when you do the rebuild, show us a great deal of the work involved. I don't think I'm alone in liking long videos. For those of us who are now armchair mechanics, our kick is seeing the ins and outs of what makes things tick. Really looking forward to this one.
I love Vice Grip Garage for this very reason, even if I usually end up falling asleep halfway through I come back to finish the rest of the video later
Dean, hands down bruv, climbed to one of my favorite go to channels. I suffer quite bad with my mental health and my survival instinct to calm myself down is always to watch or re-watch one of your many amazing vids man. I already had a pretty decent mechanical knowledge but I know a lot more theory now than I did before, so I have many things to thank you for! You're one of the reasons why I decided to splash out a whole months wage on a 2006 CLK 320 Soft-top and I'm way more confident with it's internals than I would be if I hadn't spent so many hours watching your channel! Love bro x
Hi Tom, thanks for the great message! Really happy that my videos can help you and others gain confidence in doing things themselves. Hope the CLK doesn’t give you too much trouble ❤️
Wow what a project this is going to be, looking forward to this one dean, longer in-depth vids please!!, A cracking choice, roll on part 2, nice one Dean.
Nice car Dean, should be a walk in the park as you’ve done a V8 before!! The RS4 engine rebuild is why I watch your videos, that was interesting to watch, especially as I now own one!!
Dean your ok you are in the brotherhood of cars well done and welcome to the club... If you weren't we wouldn't have anything to watch Keep up the great work John
That oil leak is most likely blown oil cooler lines. It's a common issue with the original cooler, there is an updated version with better lines. Also, it's a dry sump system so you can't check the oil level while it's cold. Drain it all and refill with the correct amount. Overfilling is really bad.
Yeah unless the cooler was completely ignored too they don’t normally cause you to loose a catastrophic amount….bearings locking up is normally over rev when cold on these….
No matter how old it is, it is still as stylish as if it was only one year old. I hope you manage to fix it like everyone else and I look forward to the new video for this car.
Can't wait to see the results. Looks like a good buy. I made the Quattro TV commercials when that was built. Now I have a 2ltr m2 8j TT. I was the first to drive one at the factory in Bavaria c1997/8 I think. I wish I had your skills!
Hi deen the only person who can built any top engine is u and then two Asian lads who do RU-vid u guys are the best salvage mechanic keep up the good work 👍🏾
Great content thanks. If it’s any help car needs to have run up to temp to check oil level and then left for 2 mins. Obviously you can’t do this at the mo! There are two flexi oil lines on the passenger side rear behind the liner that go to a cooler. Maybe one of these has failed. Good luck!
ALL the best on the repairs i was the 2nd to your bid on the car and i must say it looks like a nice car I've been waiting for a black manual car on copart for a while but i had the wife looking over my shoulder and so i got to the price where i thought there was enough room for repair money i.e replacement engine or with the listing saying water damage i thought it would be heads of and sort the bent valves out when turned the computer on and seen the title a knew it was that car i was bidding on so all the best
Ricky at RE performance has done a buyers guide on R8s and he mentioned the oil lines are known for going, especially the early models with black steel pipes. Bet the oil leak is from a blown oil line? Then WeBuyanycar ignored the red oil light?
Wonderful car. I have driven one of the very first R8s for a whole weekend and tested it on several hillclimb tracks here in Germany. All I had to pay for was the petrol. That was about somewhere north of 800€ XD. I used this experience to implement my knowledge of the car handling into my R8 real feel mod for GTR Evolution, an old sim. Later when I supported the development of Project Cars 1 (another racing game) I tested it on the Nordschleife. It´s like a fine tailored suit. It sleek, doesn´t get in your way and looks noble. Imho it doesn´t have much of a character like a Ferrari, but its a proper car that wont let you down in the frame of its intended purpose.
The RS4 was a brilliant project that you just kept going at till it was sorted. Sure this will be as good and probably better - looking forward to you getting stuck into this amazing engine - with your previous experience of the RS4 sure it will up and running before too long👍
You have an amazing channel, one of my favourite in this topic! What do you suggest for somebody who has a huge interest in doing car repairs themselves, and has done some repairs here and there (i have a 3.0 TDI audi A4), and wants to get better, but is afraid that he will mess something up? I’m not a mechanic but i have an extreme interest in this topic and being able to fix cars myself. Many thanks for your answer!
Best thing for seized motorcycle engines , surprisingly is brake fluid , one of the absolute best penetrating oils to drop down the plug-holes. gets to the rust on the rings & bore.
