THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF MY CHEAP AUDI S5 

Mat you are so honest. And that’s what makes your channel so good!! I am fixing up my own s5 now.. and having so many problems. Always look forward to your vids 👍🏻

"Mileage is just a number" (camera zoom)😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I've literally just bought an A5 B8 2.0 Turbo so really enjoying watching the project develop and discovering the "mystery history" behind your S5. Mine was never a write off but I keep finding little things here and there that raise questions or suspicions. As for your wheels, nothing wrong with going budget in my opinion, they naturally suit the car and a set of 20 inchers with tyres for £400... mate you're laughing. looking forward to the next video

These S5 videos have blown up your channel! Well done carry on and keep it up! Loving the videos. When you bought the S5 that’s how I found out about you. I subbed when you bought it 👍

UK used car market is a dream for someone like you! We get these old S5s for at least 12K. But carry on, it's a briliant series. Will buy S5 too one day so I know how to fix things :-)

Bro, you don’t need to worry about your videos being to ’talkative’ I actually find everything you say very useful and informative. And I’m learning quite a bit to 😅! Keep up the great content 💪🏾

Like the wheels mate 👌 just need to enhance the stance... less altitude more attitude 🤙

Only found your channel because the series popped up as a suggested. But honestly loving it so far, keep it up man!

Loving the series so far‼️‼️🙌🙌 car looks sick already 👍

Finally was waiting for this

Yo man loving the series! We seem to have very similar opinions on cars lol, you're the first channel I've ever turned notifications on for keep up the good work!

Great video Mat..very interesting to hear the history of the car and your theory sounds logical ... Keep them coming.. loving every single one

Love this series. Springs and spacers on my 09 S5 really make it stand apart from anything else - so I'm looking forward to seeing these mods on yours. Cheers!

All adds to the story!! Wicked mate. Keep it up. You are my new fave channel. Excellent and honest! Love the story and the work you are doing. Excellent. Put some love back into this machine. Wheels are just right and yes space them and lower a tiny bit but keep it nice and oem

Recently found this channel. I'm down with this straightforward delivery. Look forward to your continual trial and tribulations with this S5 👍

Another great vid!! Keep the hard work up bud your channel will be huge!

Enjoyed the vids, they've been educational! Keep doing what you enjoy. 👍

Great video - very interesting - looking forward to the next episodes - Happy New Year to you! 👍👌

Really like these videos and the fact your being honest about the car is good to see and hear dude unlike other RU-vidrs.....

Perfect Timing i just found finished watching your last video and you uploaded a new one

Love your honesty mate, good on ya and keep it coming!

Great channel. I’m not really into cars, but enjoy watching your videos as they are informative, interesting and entertaining. You seem a good lad also.

only just happened upon this channel- absolutely first-rate work - you are a natural!

Nice to see you being transparent about it all 👍 wheels look great. Gives it an OEM+ look. Keep up the good work mate!

Just bought my S5 last week from Scotland, glad I bumped into your channel!

Excellent vid as always keep em coming.

Easy Matt. Good to see back, keep up the good work. S5 is coming on, wheels looking sound.

Love to see it. Keep it coming

Really enjoying these vids!

Considering I paid £8k for a 2012 A5 3.0 tdi Quattro that had been in a crash! I don’t think you got ripped off! Car looks sweet, looking forward to the next vid. Subscribed!

Dude you're smashing these videos out! Questions about the 1 series, does the Carly device let you view the engine temp? Feels weird not knowing my engines temp, and apparently it's a hidden feature

Really enjoying your videos mat, lots of energy and a good approach to making the best of some ropey cars making them decent. Brave taking on the s6 , what kind¢b mpg and performance are you going getting 350 bhp? Eagerly awaiting next video. reagrds George q,

Looking forward to seeing you lowering the S5. Hoping to lower my A6 and I would think process very similar. Be good to see you go through it first. Keep up the good work. Great channel. 👍

Loving this content mate. Good job.

Another top video Matt. Smashed it! Cheers 👍

Love the new wheels Mat, they suit the car a lot better than the previous set. Keep up the good videos bro 🤟🏼 looking forward to the next one.

I love watching these videos of yours as i too have a 2013 audi s5. Gonna do the brake swap as well at some point in time.

Liking the Stock look, great videos Mat keep them coming!

Hey Mat, loving the S5 Vid's, recently bought a 2011 myself. I fitted the Eibach sport springs and the car is now a great ride height and still comfy. Personally when putting tyres on it I would fit Uniroyal Rainsport 3, fantastic tyre made by Continental for a fraction of the price, just my tuppence worth, keep up the good work !!!

New to the channel, and enjoying wot your doing to the s5. Keep it up 👍🏼

Mate you are putting out better content than any other car RU-vidr nowadays.

New to the channel man great shit! Gave me motivation to service my 320d e90! Started watching last week

Great choice of alloys chap, sometimes the standard ones look better. I've had cars with 100,000 to 200,000 miles on and still pulled well, cracking car , can tell it impresses you,sounds amazing. Look forward to the next vids.

Can't believe how many views this series is bringing to your channel. Keep it up!

I literally stumbled on this channel, you are the typical car guy who does most stuff himself and in most instances with primitive tools. Fairplay to you.

i love your positive vibes. Keep it up

Excellent video yet again Mat. The wheels are spot on and everything seems quite an easy fix. The way I see it mate ,you got alot of car for the money.👍

New subscriber, binge watched and loving the series. 100k plus miles is nothing on a well maintained car. My second car, integra type r, ive racked up 120,000 miles to a crazy 189,000 miles. Still running nicely 👍🏼

Lovely. I own a 2012 S5 special edition, glad to see this video! Great job!

Dude i'm LOVING ur channel!!! Gonna buy an r8 aswell... currently in the process hunting one ... happy days

Your channel has really blown up since the start of this series, congrats man keep it up! 👍

Great progress buddy.The interior looks nice and it sounds epic 💥💨

I love to follow your projects Mat. Thank you

Most enjoyable keep them coming.

Keep the content coming great viewing 👌🏻

Another refreshingly good and honest video. Thumbs up, as always. Luv it!

I actually love this guys videos

I believe it is possible to check the actual mileage using diagnostic software like VCDS/VAGCOM. The car CPU stores the car's mileage independently from the odometer. Very handy for checking if these cars have been clocked. Thankfully, my S5 showed a difference of just a few 10s of miles between the odometer and the CPU's mileage readings and there are factors which could see a small discrepancy of that size.

That's a good bit of research to find out the damage and mileage. If you use VCDS you'll be able to go into the modules and find the correct mileage and when the front air bag was set off as well, you can get dodgy copies of VCDS off eBay for about £30 and enable loads of extra bits on that S5. Good upload again, cheers 👍 Jack

Getting there with the car Mat😎 wheels look bob on too. Some spacers and lowering springs will sort the stance out😁 great channel btw

class wheels love the fact you kept them oem type as they usually always look better on VAG cars

Id be checking to see if all my VIN numbers match... and never talking about it again ;) LOVE THE CHANNEL! Great content Mat

Great stuff with some nice honest content

Nice work man! Labor and detective 🤘🤘

'Mileage is just a number'... What a great line!! So true if looked after.

I had those tires on a 530d E60, and to be honest, they are not as bad as they seem honestly. And yes, underrated channel, keep it up!

im looking for new wheels for my s5 aswell, these look hella good. Might go for these!

like your vids Mat always positive and interesting 🙂🤘

Subscribed👍. I've got the same year and color A5 s-line so these videos help me out😊. Keep it up. Cheers from Canada 🤙

New to the Chanel. Top videos✌️

Quality video again. I think the focus ST next door needs their alloys refurbing as well😂 be careful with the Audi V8, at around 100,000-120,000 the pulleys wear out and that’s not a fun job. Keep up the good work though bud.

Good work 👍🏻 Just come across your channel tonight. You from Leicester? You sound it.

So glad I came across your channel ! I'm from Ontario Canada the s5 has been a dream car of mine for years cant wait to pick one up . But unfortunately here in Canada a good one 2012 goes for 20 grand and up aha

Nice upgrade:-)) mine was clocked too 🤬🤬

Where did you do your vin number check? Got a very similar A5 that had a simple accident before I bought her. Would be good to see the previous damage

Love your videos!!

Keep doing what your doing its great 👍

Bought the USA dash cam! Thanks for this, been looking for it :) have a 2012 audi s5 4.2

You’re a beast for even buying the S5. Love from the USA!!

Can you find out the true mileage through checking the ECU?

You're doing good buddy looks brilliant. this year will be a better year for you and don't pass heat of any of the haters jealous is a bad thing keep up the good work

Trust me you’ve got some good skills and good presenting lad. Go on lad

Hi Mat, I've got a car myself CAT S, but not sure where the damage was , now I did the vin check and all website require me to pay in order to tell me if it's been written off... Now would it be possible to get my hands on similiar pics of my damaged vehicle or did you manage it because it happened to be on copart..I hope I made sense Thank you

Great work mate

Was thinking about buying one of these, thanks for the tips.

Those are my favorite OEM Wheels. Good form my man!

Regardless of the Cat s & the dodgy mileage, (lets be honest most are clocked these days) it's defo a great deal! Can't go wrong with the Le Mans they look great but just needs lowering slightly & spacing out. I've got a set of Stance+ coilovers on my A5 & they are great quality & comfortable ride for the money. Loving your channel by the way!

I have the exact same car with the exact same colour in my garage. I am really hyped for the following videos

Jheez that acting in the boscam advert 😂

Keep It Up G 💯

Bro, don't care about the comments. You should be proud of what you have and what you can get. The alloys look pretty nice! Few curbs ain't nothing. And as for the tires, who cares? We know it's just for you to be able to drive the car at least. Then they will be changed eventually. You're one of the few UK channels that actually do proper stuff with cars!

Looking tasty mate. These A5's seem to be an easy victim of clocking, seen a few of them at auction with MOT warnings.

Hi how did you get the old copart images? Where did you put the vin number in to get the info? Cheers

hey matt am thinkin about buyin a series 1 e87 for my first car am just wonderin if you think there are worth it or to get something else?

Like them 👌keep up the great videos 😁

You’ve made me start looking for an Audi A5 Quattro... hate my 320i E92 now 😂

Cool video Mat . Nice wheels once refurbished.

Good work mate

"milage is just a number" he said... engine: oh me break down in few miles, fella

Learned a new word....'knackered' worth the price of admission!
