You're welcome!

I don't know.

I've not had a B5, but I've done a number of ISOFIX retrofits for other brands and the process is often the same. First thing to do is to inspect behind the seat to check you have the correct mounting points, which are threaded holes in the body of the car. You may need to remove the seat back to do this. Second is to buy the ISOFIX parts for your particular Audi A4 (I bought mine on eBay). If you haven't already, it's then a case of removing the seats - there will be a guide somewhere on CZcams on how to do it. Then you install your ISOFIX bars in the same way as shown in my video and put everything back together. From the quick bit of research I did you "may" need to trim a bit of the seat fabric but I'd fit everything first before committing yourself. Good luck!

Assuming you followed the instructions correctly then it may be faulty. If it's new I'd take it straight back to where you bought it and ask for a replacement.

It's a no brainer if you are happy with the coffee it makes. Personally, even at £57, I wouldn't buy it as I don't like the coffee these Vertuo machines make. I rather just buy ground coffee and use a cafetiere than go back to Vertuo.

I understand. I used a french press for years until the Virtuo Plus. That lasted 2 years. I just got the Next and it's even better. I have a 1966 La Pavoni pressure brewer that I use when I fancy a bit of froth...fantastic steam punk machine but filters and cafetieres? Never!

Heureux d’avoir pu aider et merci d’avoir pris le temps de laisser un commentaire.

Thanks my friend 👍

Thanks and having decided to stick with my original system I have no regrets.

Some you win, some you lose 👍

Links are in the description for UK and USA purchases. For other countries you'll need to do your own research. Good luck 👍

Sorry B8 i have

I don't know but the B8 Audi A4 was a very popular model and I'm sure there's a video on CZcams that describes the process - good luck!

I don't drink those types of coffee so I can't give an opinion. What I would say is try and find somebody/somewhere with one of the these machines and test it out as that's the only way to be certain it'll work for you. Good luck 👍

That's great to hear, thanks for letting me know 👍

That's great to hear and I'm pleased you are giving a used machine a new life. As mentioned in the video, do empty the drip tray regularly as it's very susceptible to corrosion if the liquid is left in there for too long. Enjoy 👍

Glad I could help and thanks for taking the time to comment. 👍

That is interesting to hear as both my previous Mercedes had a great ride, although they were C Classes rather than SLKs.

It's not clear what version you've been given, but it sounds like it's going to be either a 3/8" or 1/2" fitment (like mine) so you can then only fit sockets or extensions with those fittings. If you want to use it for screws and it is a 3/8" fitment then you will need an adaptor (amzn.to/3RZEjRF) with a screwdriver bit. If it's a 1/2" fitment you will need this adaptor (amzn.to/4cDunW7). Better still would be to buy a dedicated impact driver like this one (amzn.to/3zwPQkV).

You are right in that it is short so with cars with central jacking points it won't work. However I have used it to lift an engine from below in order that I could swap out an engine mount and it's low enough to be able to do that.

You are right regarding the buttons for sure. Out of interest if you had an original Nespresso machine in front of you and somebody asked for a double espresso how would you do it? Use two pods?

@@MostlyHelpful I'd do two espresso pods. In "coffee hipster's" world even their single espresso is more like lungo...

Thanks for taking the time to comment and happy to help.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Nespresso are in the business of making money from their coffee machine/pod ecosystem and I can't blame them for that. However the way that they are effectively ignoring their original machines and heavily promoting the Vertuo machines limits customer choice and it's that which I have an issue with. I would prefer them to actively sell both machines side by side so the customer can decide what style of coffee suits them best.

No problem at all 👍

That's a great tip, thanks 👍

Thanks for the comment and the additional info. I sold my Vertuo machine shortly after making the video so just have the original now.

Glad you liked it and thanks for taking the time to comment. 👍

Thanks for taking the time to comment Andy. I've never replaced a set of springs myself (only dampers) so have no experience but it's a shame to hear that Sachs quality isn't what it once was.

It's a odd one for sure but front foglights aren't a legal requirement in the UK. A rear foglight is however and that is checked at the MOT and if not working will result in a fail.

@@MostlyHelpful I don't think they are required in Norway either, as I've had cars without them. As far as I understand you can't remove them if they were originally installed on the car

I understand what you are trying to say (Nespresso isn't proper coffee etc. etc.) but I was using the form "best" when considering these two models only. If I was comparing them to all other types of coffee machine then your point would be valid, but in this context it isn't.

@@MostlyHelpfulohhh, I see do you have any platforms to talk to you on, I wanna ask some questions please.

@@Traviconation If you've got questions on the Golf feel free to post them here, I'll remind you though that I sold that car back In April 2021 and my memory of it is fading as I only had it 75 days.

@@MostlyHelpful I’m looking to get a golf for my first car at 17 when the time comes for me, but I wanted to ask you a few quick questions on how it performs. I wanted to know if you had any issues on the lowness of the car such as scraping on bumps and things and if the interior looks or feels cheap, and if it actually is spacious as it has transmission tunnel and the back looks tight. Also how high would insurance be for me at 17 years old and if it really would be a good first car for me. What common problems do the mk5’s have and how much do they cost to fix them and if the audio quality has deep bass or not, because you know me a young black driver blasting out music is a bit of me I can’t lie. If you manage to get back to me I appreciate you.

In your situation I would run some insurance quotes and see what the costs are. Given your age it's likely to be very expensive and that may rule it out, in which case the other questions won't matter. But to answer them, my Golf was comfortable and had no issue with clearance at all. Interior felt fine, better than my Fiat, not as nice as my Mercedes. Plenty of room in it for adults so no issue there, but the stereo was rubbish so that would need upgrading. Common faults will depend on which engine, but generally they are common enough that most faults are known and fixes identified. Good luck!

That's great to hear. We don't get Podista here in the UK (that I can tell) but we have some similar aftermarket brands. Currently I use Caffe Nero pods which give me the flavour I'm after and are cheaper than legit Nespresso pods.

No problem, hope it was helpful for you.

Thanks for taking the time to comment and your experience is exactly the same as mine was. I just couldn't get on with the foam and shortly after filming I sold my Vertuo machine and have never looked back.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I love fixing up these old Tamiyas since it reminds me of my youth, and I am hoping that my 9 year old son will soon be able to join me in the hobby.

@@MostlyHelpful Tamiya makes some amazing kits that would be perfect for younger ones. I just got my nephew the comical grasshopper and we built it a few weekends ago. He is 12 and didn’t need much help from me.

Actually, that's a good suggestion. They aren't particularly cheap here in the UK compared to the alternatives (£5.25 for 10) but worth a shot.

That's great to hear and thanks for letting me know.

That's great to hear Will and thanks for taking the time to comment. Certainly as a cheap run around I think the Golf would be ideal so a thumbs up from me.

I'm glad you found the video useful and thanks for the insight on your own Vertuo experiences. You make a valid point re the different machines but there's two points to note. Firstly, at the time of the recording the Vertuo POP wasn't on the market in the UK and this is the first time I've heard about it. Secondly I am not sponsored, nor given the products to review so everything you see if paid for with my own money and I'm not going to buy things just to review them. In the end the additional cost of the Vertuo pods and the inferior coffee meant that I was happy to continue to use my Citiz and original capsules.

Looking inside my 3268 there's isn't room for an HDD and a 2.5" SSD in the case and there is only one SATA connection, so it seems you can only have one or the other. If you could somehow run the SSD via the PCI-E socket then you might be able to run both but it's not something I've ever done. I've recently upgraded to a 3470 which has a M.2 port on the board so with that you can run a M.2 SATA SSD (not NVMe) and then a regular HDD in the normal location.

Yes, you can add an additional graphics card but it needs to be a low profile card and it also needs to not have a large heatsink as there isn't a lot of space in there. I used a Nvidia GeForce 405 card in my 3250 machine for a while but actually the onboard graphics were faster/better.

Very happy to have helped ❤️

Certainly doesn't sound right. Check that you don't have a sticking caliper (quite common - happened on 3 of my cars previously) and then check fault codes using an OBDII reader to confirm there's no issue with the ABS module.

Thanks for the comment and the additional information. Good to hear that you've had great results with Bilsteins as they have previously been my choice for uprated shocks on my BMWs.

Thanks Steve and I agree with you and yet the comments section is full of people telling me I'm doing it wrong...🤷

That's literally not an Americano. He's over-extracting and adding way too much water later on. For this amount of water you'd need at least 2 capsules.

@@channul4887 isn't that personal preference? I take two expresso shots in my Americano at home. But that's because I like strong coffee.

@@stevegreenway1796 of course you can drink it however you like but don't try to pass it as something that it's not. For a typical americano 200ml water with one espresso shot would be max before you enter the "coffee flavoured water" territory rather than "still a coffee".

Thank you Rari, I glad to hear it helped and I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Thank you 👍

I'm sorry to hear that. It may be that the process is now different given the video is nearly 2 years old.

Great to hear you've enjoyed your Golf Julia and sorry to hear that it has recently been misbehaving. Code P0420 when Googled seems to suggest an issue with an oxygen sensor (not clear whether pre or post catalytic convertor) and I found this thread which might be useful for you. Good luck in getting it sorted! www.volkswagenforum.co.uk/threads/golf-mk5-1-6-fsi-p0420-error-engine-light-back-on.22090/

If everything is working correctly then it actually makes sense as there is no additional step for the owner/user to perform - the indicator resets automatically. The problem comes when the bonnet open/close sensor isn't working, as in my case. But I get your point in that why can't the sensor just detect the level of oil all the time, rather than being triggered by a bonnet open/close event. I'm sure there's a reason but probably one for the Audi engineers.
