I Saved $10,000 Buying my Wife a “Lightly Damaged” Audi SUV but it Came Hiding a Massive Problem

Will you advertise for the Beanstalk restaurant like Howard used to do?

You got screwed my friend

In another time and world Sam's my friend

As it is, he's just my favourite YouTuber

Sorry but Not a conclusive test Ive seen that happen before, first you should be testing for 1 min or 2 not more the coolant will rise and contaminate the fluid especially with you pulling so it has to be brief, also its not a perfect seal around the pump or the bottom end of the tester, the car is running there are fumes around the engine bay since its not a perfect seal if your going to do this test for a long time eventually it will change color cause its not a perfect seal, second there is a leak in the system ofcourse air will be introduced and you'll see bubbles, the right way to do this is ensure there is no leak first, warm up your engine to when the thermostat opens, suck out coolant from the reservoir to ensure youve got at least 4-5 inches between the teater tip and coolant, you firmly place the tester on and turn it slightly to ensure a tight seal, now and only now pour the dye in, put the pump on turn slightly to ensure it digs in a pump from the upper portion not the lower portion to ensure a tight seal do it for a minute or 2 if its blue or light blue its fine, remember its not a perfect seal and if you do this especially in a closed space like a garage on any car for 10-20 mins eventually it will slightly discolor its not a perfect seal.

I’m a 9 year mechanic and o have had the fluid tester fail a few times. False negative only, haven’t had any false positives.

Did he ever fix it?

Do the whole bit, head gasket, chain tensioners, chain and chain rails, its a real pain.

Lol

When did you get a wife?

I think you have to pull the motor. Maybe just the trans?

Come on same do the head gaskets!

The front coolant pipe most likely broke from the forklift at the auction when they moved it around.

Everytime I hear a rattle like that when a car starts, I cringe knowing that’s really bad

I would like to see a Lexus/Toyota project

Stop I use these testers all the time if it goes green it is fine if it goes yellow then you have a blown head gasket you can test this by putting some of the solution in a small container and put it near the exhaust system with the engine running and it will turn yellow if there are exhaust gases detected I have had so many people come to my garage with these test kits from eBay panicking about the head gasket when they don't understand the green is perfectly ok it is if it goes bright yellow you start to cry lol

It’s an Audi. What did you expect?

There’s a YT from European that alllllllllll he does is rebuild these motors-

I forgot the channel off hand but a great channel nonetheless.

if it has a problem, why is it not throwing any codes?

Like most attorneys that lemon law attorney is a fraud. Any vehicle can be fixed.

Get some of the sealer you put in your Porsche!!! It will be fine then!!!!!

Hi All…. I know i'll need to put on my hardhat to handle the fallout, but, I've been watching this channel for some time , and becoming more frustrated. I just realised why… Sam's a non finisher… Cheers.

"Won't lead to damage"??!! It already is damaged. When you hear that chain slap, most likely you know the tensioner is broken. The chain can slap the plastic right off the chain guide. If that chain slapping that chain guide breaks the plastic off it, it won't take too long before the chain wears through the chain guide. You know you have big problems when you see plastic pieces come out when draining the oil.

This head gasket leak tester is a must have when purchasing any European, and particularly German, POS. You should do this on even new German cars (you'd be surprised), including EVs since its coolant will leak into the electric motor.

“audis aren’t that bad” proceeds to show us 3 broken audis
