I WAS SOLD AN ILLEGAL SCRAPPED CAR?? AUDI TT 

Definitely the quickest RU-vidr to diagnose what the problem is.

Hi mate, I bought a Ford Custom 9 seat from Copart, and it happened the same way as you. On their site, it was cat N and when I applied for the v5, DVLA said they will not issue a v5 because it's scrapped and advised me to take it to the nearest scrap yard. But, called copart, made a complaint, and two days later, the scrap category was removed, and it was reverted back to cat N. So, make sure you put that complaint it to get it sorted. Keep up the good work! Inspirational 🤜🤛

Brilliant result and great diagnostic/fault tracing, Dean! Love your videos - one of the best channels!

That was one of the fastest rebuilds you have done, it's nice to see one going that easy for a change

This is my kind of video. Appreciate the fixes are not all so trouble free but it is nice to catch a successful ending all in one instalment. More of these please. (if possible)

Great video, made me smile, had the same spec (- amplified black) for 5 years as daily and loved every bit of it, especially in snow. Did a stage1 remap and it was awesome. Everyone called mine Snowball.☺️ New owner is a lucky fella!

These are the videos I enjoy the most taking us though fault finding a non running car

classic auction car..... flooded.. maybe.. non runner..... pull the fuse for the starter.. replacement airbags blown or not...totals the car... fuse out... the clutch and starter are a result of long time no use.. nobody wanted it before that, insurance assessors value on what they see... they dont check fuses...... Dean saved it...... 👍👍👍👍 N x .

This is the channel for proper petrol heads. I love all of them for different things but for those of us who like technical stuff this is the one. Great video Dean.

Congrats Dean you did a brilliant job repairing the TT. Hope you can sort the log book and get an MOT glad to hear you did a carvertical check you wouldn't have known about it being scrapped

Nice quick repair. Well done Dean

Awesome video Dean. Love when the car issues are resolved in the one video 👍🏻

Good audi content yet again i always look forward to your vids. Best ive found on y/tube. ❤❤❤❤

Brilliant result and great diagnostic)

Super fast turn around on this one - really great job. Hope copart/insurance/dvla get the history fixed and you got a nice little raffle prize 👍🏻

Impressive bud, love how easy you make it look, great knowledge 👍

Great Video and car, the alarm code is common. There is an alarm unit box under the top left inside front osf wheelarch behind the arch cover. There is an access bung on the top of the wing which is visible when the bonnet is open. You can reach in with the correct socket and undo it for removal. Will be crudded up, wd40 first as you already know(no offense). Very simple and cheap to replace, no coding needed. If your using the keyfob, arming and disarming the car and hearing nothing, it will be that.

Excellent video once again. Concentric slave cylinders, what a pain they are, just had one go in a T4.

It amazes me that the majority of car RU-vidrs plug Car Vertical every other upload and then don't actually bother to use it themselves......

Great Video. I was expecting you to use torque for the new clutch and wanted to see how you filling the gearbox with oil 😅

Great Work Bud 👍👍You just get on with the problems no messing around 👍👍Great Watch 🤩🤩

Great job! What kind of diagnostic tool do you use? Thanks

A sniff of a spider and Deans off with the jet washer 😂👌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍺 Awesome as always!

There is nothing like the feeling when you hear the box 'pop' when it locates and goes back on. 🙂

Probably the biggest touch so far this year getting that up and running for little 💸 well done!

Great turn around , well done . Once the issues sorted def raffle it off ,

Stunning looking car. A quick flip for you. Nice work 👍

Superbly done, squire!

Another great video Dean...👍👍👍

This was just a fun video!! Sorted very quickly and done! Your luck amazes me!

Amazing work done on it, was a fun journey to see this car come back to life, got me curious on the economics of rebuilding cars as opposed to buying ones in drivable condition, I wonder how much the parts were in this repair.

Love these TTs, we normally get a lot of these in for remapping work, stage 1 adds a nice amount of bhp and torque 👌

What a serious collection hats off to that man❤

Great vid. Nice job and made to look easy - sign of a good mechy. Chest/head cam not so sure!

You made that clutch change look easy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Wow great job done on that mate as always! What cars have you for sale ?

It would be interesting to see how the money/profit worked out. My experience with clutch slave cylinders was with early Minis. Fully external and secured with 2 bolts !

I'm impressed! It sat for a few years when a skilled person could turn it around in a few hours.

Great video, hope the status of the car gets sorted without too much fuss. Let us all know how the MOT goes.

Great work again, raffle it would make a good runaround

Big thumbs up for cleaning the car 👍🏼

Great buy Dean bit of luck. 👍👍👍👍

Nice buy and nice to see a car with a good engine 👍

I'm really impressed with your skills and knowledge. I tinker a bit with watches and computers, but for me what you're doing seems like you could just as well have built a space ship single handedly.

Nice cars, loved my MK2 Black Edition. The all in one videos are always a better watch, but getting the cars that can be done in one hit must be pretty rare..

Insurance job!! Someone's had a bit of a flood maybe and clutch siezed, then crippled it with the fuses to make sure the assessor would write it off!!

This is the best channel on RU-vid

Check intercooler is emptied incase water is sat there, your doing right on what your doing but you could kill it if intercooler is full of water,

Another great auction find, well done Deano.

I think you were a very lucky man as normally I would steer clear of any vehicle that had been water damaged because electronics can be a total pain in the but. baring in mind what you've spent on it you have a car with a reasonable amount of profit when sold biut it's finding the right customer.

I dream of owning one of these someday. Lovely example you’ve got

Great turn around Dean. Once its sorted with the DVLA and MOT`d raffle it !! I`ll definitely buy tickets.👍

Great video, got lucky so well done 👏

Definitely raffle it. I’m feeling lucky. I recently changed the transfer box on my daughter’s Q3 TDI. I removed the subframe completely just to make more room. I couldn’t get to the top bolt on the engine side and so I had to remove the gearbox to access it. The problem was caused by a garage who had changed the clutch for the same reason as you. Faulty slave cylinder. They somehow managed to break the seal housing for the rear flange and the transfer box lost its oil and seized. It all looks the same as your TT. I don’t know how you got that bolt out if it is the same. I just couldn’t get any socket or spanner anywhere near it.

Nice video and with the wind in the back !!

Raffle it Dean ....... great looking car. ..... Great video and work again 👍🏼

Same I had a van cat n copart and when I looked at the hip I was not happy but as said copart were able to change the cat

Love these one in one out videos 🤘😊

Loving your content

Beautiful work. Nice car

love these 1 and done videos

Nice video! Loving the all in one fix job video.... Raffle it!

Can you print the plastic parts you need with a 3 D printer ? Also vanilla essence get rid of the damp smell in cars.

Raffle it Dean. Nice looking car

Seems strange to hear the diesel engine sound in such a sporty car. Good work getting it sorted!

Great video - glad it was an easy fix -

This TT 100% needs to be raffled on Compete for cars Dean 👍 Keep the videos coming.. really enjoying them and your great can do attitude 👍

Great vid mate very interesting

Great video well done great looking car

Lovely looking motor. I’d buy it if my Navara gets sold

Copart will sort it, they can tell the insurance the correct category. I know that sounds mad, but it happens a lot. Usually Cat B by mistake.

Gotta get lucky sometimes. Great video as always. Cheers.

Great vid Dean, really enjoyed that. Raffle it mate and I can bring it back to Scotland where its from 😂😂😂😂

Thanks for cleaning it too Dean, keep them spiders away!

Love the videos buddy👍🏻

Raffle it mate, make more for you and let one of us get a bargain. Live the channel.

Nice result on that. Could've been a lot worse. I reckon stick it on CFC and let people chance their luck on some tickets.

Great video, and another one saved...Shame it was a diesel..🤔😳😏🇬🇧

only got the messuring on the starter but that voltage is too low should be more like 13 14 v if there is no load/ only ignition on so either the battery is bad or you have a vampire drain somewhere edit had the same fault twice on my golf 5 tdi 4 motion with the clutch nice to see i am not the only one

Just a headsup Bridging the Positive Terminal on a Starter won't cause it to engage without power to the Ignition feed on the solenoid it'll only spin in place.The ignition feed causes the plunger to close circuit and push the bendix out.

It is not just yourself with batteries, every rebuilder on UTube has the same problem, and all seem very surprised that the batteries are flat after 9 months in Co-Part. Word of caution, Car Vertical is not the only one out there, some are better.

Loving your content, dude. Keep it up. One thing that has always baffled me about the TT, is why ANYONE would tick the 'diesel' option, when speccing this car 😂 looks great, sounds like a tractor.

Can Copart stop doing ridiculous damage to a car in pretty much mint condition? Even as a part car, it makes no sense to keep damaging it with the stupid forklift.

Always a great video

Wow so lucky with the TT Matey. Maybe raffle it off and hopefully I'll win this time, I really wanted the blue RS4 but it wasn't to be. Great video and do Defender nxt ? Cheers J

Diesel engine sound just doesn’t suit the TT - beautiful looking car but why someone would want to chuck a tractor engine into something so elegant is beyond me. However, that aside, well done on sorting that! Excellent video as always

Been watching Dean for years now, this must be one of the quickest turnarounds he's done. Great video, I hope the paperwork is as easy for you matey.

Car vertical expensive but good way to check 🚗

Great video, and think you should raffle it mate😁👍🏻

Brilliant as always

Hi my wife's car was written off, it ended up in Copart with parts missing. I asked the insurance assessor if Copart had taken the parts therefore depriving the insurance company of a better price, and he said the insurance company dose not own them. Copart buys them off the insurance company at a agreed percentage, so your comment on your bid was most likely Copart trying to get more money for themselves. The insurance company involved was Zurich, so a big firm.

Great video once again and a great car too would as always buy few tickets if goes up maybe get a win

In most modern manuals, don't you always have to depress the clutch before being able to turn the key to crank the engine? Before jumping to the starter, I could have checked it with the clutch depressed :) I love your videos. It's great, entertaining and highly educational!

The headlight switch in that 2014 TT is the exact same headlight switch as the 2002-2005 ford fiesta

Should've loosened the sump plug a little to check for water in the oil. If the engine hasn't been run since it was flooded, the oil would just float to the top. Any water would settle in the sump where the oil pick up is 😱.

Believe it or not, insurans company, they are the best at calculating. U R THE BEST HUH.

Hi, I've always fancied doing this and have played around in the passed. I'm looking at an unrecorded TT convertible quattro on a 08 plate. It looks only door damage. In your experience with it being a 3.2, will this make it harder to move on? Regards Fred

Nice one Deano 👍👍

Raffle it once it’s MOT’d. I’d buy a ticket. 👍🏼

Best to change clutch kit as the brake fluid ruins the plate by making it wet and would of slipped
