Definitely the quickest CZcamsr to diagnose what the problem is.
But just because he fixed it in a 27 minute doesn't mean it took 27 mins, it could have taken 3 or 4 weeks to fix and with a bit of editing makes it look like a quick fix....
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 🤜🤛
Thanks for the advice. I'm sure that will help a lot of people.
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
That's not a rebuild, it's a flog off
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.
No way that car can be called done!!, break lines not checked as well as an array of must checks after a reported flood damage, this car will possibly house a family, and not even a tourge wrenge is used to secure major components, your looking for a quick buck not a proper build sorry to say but I would not run a channel like this, you re promoting horrible ethics.
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!
It amazes me that the majority of car CZcamsrs plug Car Vertical every other upload and then don't actually bother to use it themselves......
I did use it.. i just said i gloss over some things as I didn’t expect it to be scrapped… my fault for not reading it properly.. lesson learnt
@@SavingSalvage I have never seen anyone ever show what you did with the app and now I have it will be burned in to the memory. My son was looking for a car recently and Car Vertical was the first link I sent him because of what is shown. Nice work Dean.
Car vertical is not the best option out there! It’s only because they’ve got a nice big marketing budget that they are on every CZcams car build channel! You can get a top quality report for less than half of the CV price!
@@denisfitzgerald3474 Correct Denis, I much prefer vehiclescore as it s a heck of a lot cheaper than CV.
It's called rinsed tf out marketing to get fans to use that shit!Did try and use it,but my god like 50 quid for a chq,basic!More advanced 1,cat s ,etc like 250 quid,wtf?😫😬💀💀🤬🤬🤬😡😡👎👎💀😫😫😫
These are the videos I enjoy the most taking us though fault finding a non running car
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)
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...... 👍👍👍👍

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 👍🏻
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 👍🏻
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.
Impressive bud, love how easy you make it look, great knowledge 👍
Good audi content yet again i always look forward to your vids. Best ive found on y/tube. ❤❤❤❤
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 !
Excellent video once again. Concentric slave cylinders, what a pain they are, just had one go in a T4.
Very well done on the fault finding and repairs . Nice looking motor now
Great Work Bud 👍👍You just get on with the problems no messing around 👍👍Great Watch 🤩🤩
Great turn around , well done . Once the issues sorted def raffle it off ,
Brilliant result and great diagnostic)
There is nothing like the feeling when you hear the box 'pop' when it locates and goes back on. 🙂
A sniff of a spider and Deans off with the jet washer 😂👌🏻🏴🍺 Awesome as always!
Great Video. I was expecting you to use torque for the new clutch and wanted to see how you filling the gearbox with oil 😅
Stunning looking car. A quick flip for you. Nice work 👍
Another great video Dean...👍👍👍
Probably the biggest touch so far this year getting that up and running for little 💸 well done!
What a serious collection hats off to that man❤
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.
Clutch was £250 with slave and battery £90.. couple of fuses and that’s it. Just labour on top
Superbly done, squire!
Love these TTs, we normally get a lot of these in for remapping work, stage 1 adds a nice amount of bhp and torque 👌
….sounds like an opportunity for a collab…..
Small businesses helping each would be perfect 👌
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..
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
that aint a tractor engine a common rail 2tdi audi engine is brilliant to drive behind thats a decent car for silly money.
To me the VAG diesel engines sounds loud compared to Toyota, Volvo even Ford.
I put a pd in my mk1 TT for diesel economy.
You're right about the sound.
@@runningvalver I had one. It sounds like a tractor especially at the lights. Didn't put me off I had a TT petrol and a TTS next.This vid makes me wish I still had one, but not diesel
@@AndyWright-qd6wq I'm building the third but this time quattro and an 1856, I should hopefully be done after this and I can move on, backwards or sideways.
Great work again, raffle it would make a good runaround
Great video, hope the status of the car gets sorted without too much fuss. Let us all know how the MOT goes.
You made that clutch change look easy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
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'm impressed! It sat for a few years when a skilled person could turn it around in a few hours.
Nice buy and nice to see a car with a good engine 👍
Great buy Dean bit of luck. 👍👍👍👍
Great vid. Nice job and made to look easy - sign of a good mechy. Chest/head cam not so sure!
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!!
Great video, got lucky so well done 👏
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.
You are funny not comical
I dream of owning one of these someday. Lovely example you’ve got
Love these one in one out videos 🤘😊
This was just a fun video!! Sorted very quickly and done! Your luck amazes me!
Filler video which turned out better and worse than I thought 😂
@@SavingSalvage Well for a filler video it is very well done! I don't see a "worse" part!!
love these 1 and done videos
This is the best channel on CZcams
Nice video and with the wind in the back !!
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.
Great video - glad it was an easy fix -
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,
Big thumbs up for cleaning the car 👍🏼
Thank you 🤗 😂
Wow great job done on that mate as always! What cars have you for sale ?
Beautiful work. Nice car
Nice video! Loving the all in one fix job video.... Raffle it!
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.
How u gonna move it
@@chrisbedingfield7097 Wheel dollies and horses/people/siamese cats
Copart should be liable as they are the one selling the car and should be fined
Copart is huge but I can only imagine employ the same people as the smaller auctions - for some reason they are all clearly giving off the vibe of being ex-prisoners who hate society, or illegal immigrants who also hate society.
It is just a funny part of their job to fuck over a car after you have bought it. The industry works in such a way you have to trust scumbags who get a kick moving cars around and damaging them, and their employers who fully back them because you just signed a contract.
Great vid mate very interesting
Great video well done great looking car
Great turn around Dean. Once its sorted with the DVLA and MOT`d raffle it !! I`ll definitely buy tickets.👍
Gotta get lucky sometimes. Great video as always. Cheers.
Another great auction find, well done Deano.
Glad you enjoyed it
Crazy that it only needed some fuses a starter and slave cylinder. Definitely a big win.
Raffle it Dean. Nice looking car
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
Great vid Dean, really enjoyed that. Raffle it mate and I can bring it back to Scotland where its from 😂😂😂😂
Great job!
What kind of diagnostic tool do you use?
Thanks
Lovely looking motor. I’d buy it if my Navara gets sold
Great video once again and a great car too would as always buy few tickets if goes up maybe get a win
Great video, and another one saved...Shame it was a diesel..🤔😳😏🇬🇧
Loving your content
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.
Raffle it Dean ....... great looking car. ..... Great video and work again 👍🏼
Seems strange to hear the diesel engine sound in such a sporty car. Good work getting it sorted!
Brilliant as always
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.
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.
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
Thanks for cleaning it too Dean, keep them spiders away!
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 video, and think you should raffle it mate😁👍🏻
Love the videos buddy👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Raffle it mate, make more for you and let one of us get a bargain. Live the channel.
Believe it or not, insurans company, they are the best at calculating. U R THE BEST HUH.
Always a great video
Great car, would love to own one day. Great video and content. Maybe raffle it if you don't sell it?
God like mechanic! Mad skilled. Love vag cars ❤ Would be great to have a chance winning this. Hopefully you'll raffle it 😊
I LOVE the TT......... Only wish I could buy it / buy ticket and have it in Canada. :(
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
Raffle it once it’s MOT’d. I’d buy a ticket. 👍🏼
Car vertical expensive but good way to check 🚗
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.
Which others are better than car vertical?
@@Andrew-tb9vr Car Horizontal.
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.
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 😱.
always funny to see a sporty looking audi tt that sounds like an old passat
😂
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.
I work in insurance and you are absolutely correct, that is exactly how it works. The price the insurance company get is pre-agreed depending on the vehicle value and total loss category. Copart then own the vehicle, and sell it or break it up as they see fit 👍
Sounds a bike like a tractor in a TT's skin.
Dope.
