Audi S4 pickup!
I build an Audi S4 B6 with a 4.2l V8 and all wheel drive into a ute with a kit from Smyth Performance. While the final paint work and trim wasn't completed for this video, the project is close enough to completion to drive and enjoy!

    @tedschouten1468 Před měsícem

    Thank you for this video; very helpful. I experienced the foam coming through all the vents on my 2003 Jetta so I knew I had a blend door issue. I went to the dealer who gave me a $4,000 quote to do the job with no guarantee that it would work or that they may break some parts during the process. Even though the car is in perfect condition even after 21 years and 74k miles, the cost to repair would be greater than the value. I decided to do the project myself. It took about 15 hours from start to finish. I took pictures of everything and labelled every screw. Every part was laid out on a sheet of plywood and documented. The hardest part was extracting the black box in front of the blend doors; had to remove the 13mm bolts to get the added room to wiggle it out. For the blend doors, I used the heavy duty end foil tape with the plastic backing - wrapping the blend doors was surprisingly easy. Putting it back together was just as tedious to ensure that the trim gaps all lined up. The two screws to secure the black box could not be reinstalled; I could not get access as easily but I made sure the box was in there snug with the clips. One thing to watch out for is where the radio harness comes out - if you lay it on top of the bracket divider it will not be long enough; make sure it is below the divider. Once completed I had no screws left over and everything looked good. Despite the fact that I had removed a lot of foam during the dismantle, when I tested the system more foam came out until the vents cleared out from any remaining pieces. After that I tested all the baffles doors using both AC and heat and directing airflow from various vents. It all worked perfectly. This job requires patience, a slow pace so you don’t break anything and documentation; don’t rely on your memory as to where stuff goes.
