You need to be dropping off a box of beers to Tim the mechanic next door.
Weekly as this will be an on going relationship
Big đđup to tim for taking on the welding.
Nice bit of welding considering it's a rusty old exhaust pipe.
Get a wee ultrasonic cleaner that will sort the washer jets
Tim at Torque Monkey rocks! đđđ
†from Kenya, absolutely love your content, your sense of humor always cracks me up.thank you
You've made some good progress, nice to see such lovely and skilled people working together. Not a big fan of the "let's change the control arm on one side only" approach though...
I see the lift doesn't get old lol and ya loving it, it won't get old anytime soon, enjoy it matey.
Paying other mechanics to fix the car in your own garage. Now that's what I call Not Economically Viable!
đđ
@BlazingsNL Everyone has to learn what they don't know, you were the same before you learnt
I do what can, learn as I go, and pay for what I cannot, works for me!
@stuartbarber7784 I can do just about anything mechanically but I've never welded. Going to have to learn PDQ as I've just bought a 40 year old VW T3
@@c1tlr340 I guess the joke went over your head
My mechanic has welded a new flex pipe in and it lasted for years without a problem (2.8 V6 Audi). He also did it like it is nothing, he didn't charge many hours of work. I was amazed by the welding skills, some people are just awesome.
That 90° metal pipe on the end of the original flexi, looked to be removable, it had a hex nut where it meets the flexi?
Itâs all one thing unfortunately
@@NotEconomicallyViable you can make your own pipe with flare tools and screw it into the flex pipe, it's easy and probably cheaper than buying original
You are the mr bean of the car mechanics. I love your content dude â€
Hi, I just came across your channel, and I admire what you do. I'm someone who tries to fix most of the issues myself but has to do a job as well to support my family, so when I see you working on your cars, it's fantastic. If you need an inexperienced mechanic, just drop me a textđ.
Nearly there. Looking forward to whatever is next. Good on you for admitting you needed the help. Have a good week. Marc from Australia đŠđș
Tim has some great welding skills, cheers!
To Tim, as a welder that supplied OEM exhausts for the Landrover L494, L462 & L405, top job mate!
You and Tasty Classics are my joint favourite CZcams channels! Another brilliant episode. I bought a bunch of tickets for the car, and I'm so glad some of that goes to Alder Hey. Top quality all round. PS I used to work for Audi. I feel you pain...
This!!
As an Audi tech and avid Not Economically Viable watcher. Hats off to you đș my Aunty has a 52 plate one currently in bits. May have to have it off her one day đ«Ł
great results mate! The bonnet absolutely lifted the exterior and top stuff with the exhaust fix from Tim too! đ
On the front right where brake line was corroded-just get a flaring tool, few connectors and a small piece of brake line. Including the flare tool it cost me ÂŁ20 and I cut the corroded section out which was just 100mm long. No need to replace the whole brake line.
Ninos already got the flaring tool
And next month another section will need replacing.
@@bikeman123 I did mine 4 years ago and nothing needs replacing yet.
In this condition the brake line can be cleaned using a steel brush and painted it, will last for years.
One of my favorite channels. You are killing it mate!
Same welder as mine! R-Tech have an updated version now!
As an s6 owner I would love to win this car. I would also hate to win this car. Fabulous and horrendous at the same time.
Sometimes, you gotta raise your hands and admit defeat - we all hate it, but having Tim and his team around is deffo a touch.
Hydrahose Chelmsford, Norton Hydraulics Braintree and Anglia hose & hydraulics Colchester have all saved my arse on numerous occasions for manufacturing one off solutions to all sorts of pipe problems.
Can't wait to see this car on my driveway đ
suspension arms should be tightened up when the weight of the car is on the supension as that is common place. if you tighten on a lift with the wheels drooped then put it down. it will twist the bushings and they will be flexed at rest. then when you hit a bump in the road it can tear them.
Good thing you took him on the welding. It is a tricky weld to pull off. :)
I know a lot of mechanics that would just slap exhaust putty on it without welding and give it a go.
Just entered the competition! Loving these videos Nino. Keep up the work youâve come a long way đ
Get Tim on the channel full time! Heâs funny đ
Tasty Classics pointed me in your direction. Looking forward to more fantastic content, thank you
Bloody hell fire Nino, was struggling to get my earphones to connect to my PC, finally got them going just at the bit when your mike went crazy. Totally thought my near buds were screwedđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł happily not ,but had me going for a bit. Keep up the good work, great stuff in your vids.
bro please blur the trade plate. if its yours or not. People copy them as they know its currently valid.
As they can when the car is out on the street...
From people who are attracting much less attention (non CZcamsrs).
Great Video Nino.. Come on man.. 100k is just around the corner, I hope US international viewers can get some of that SWAG too soon.. take care my friend..!!
man take us on a ride with that baby we want to hear it roar!
Tim's a star...đ.
those weldings are wonderful. damn!
Tim deserves some beers for that mate haha great video
Iâll buy a ticket but think the car is not economically viable to keep. Great videos though.
Nice car but a future money pit.
That V8 sounds so good. I could listen to it all day.
Flexi in my van had failed and went to an exhaust shop where the guy cut it out and welded in another. Works fine.
Great Video Nino, thats just taken 45 minutes of my first day back at work!! Perfect!
Nino, lacking confidence in welding, wouldn't stop Mike Brewer from going on camera and helping out.. 25:50
Hankook are great tires!
Have lusted after these RS6âs since watching Layer Cake about 20 years ago. Keep up the good work.
Almost a 100k subs! YOU. DESERVE. THAT.! Awesome work mate!
Tim is a madlad, give him some beer
it aint a bad car now, good on You Nino! Once it's all finished up someone gonna be happy with it, especially for 99P..
Good choice to leave the welding part for a pro. it looks neat now, much better than what you could've done..
Repairing these cars will need careful planing and a lot of clever tricks to cap costs
Another great update Nino, and loving the content... Currently watching from the Montalbano mountains in Tuscany wearing my Not Economically viable t-shirt! đ (The wife says it suits me! đ)
I LOVE this channel! this man is a LEGEND
I need brake lines doing on my mini.... Off to see Tim đ awesome vid as always
Love all your videos but sir your hurting my back with that lift not raised all the way up lol
I was hurting my back too haha
washer jets.
Get a wire brush, put one of the wires into a metal vice and pull it out.
It should be the right size to clear and adjust the jets.
Nico, just seen a tweet on "x" by "luden automotive"....Triumph spitfire, bright red, looks good...sold for ÂŁ810 including fees!!
Had the same problem, I was looking at an entire new exhaust, but saved by a good welder.
Thatâs a big lump of a car for that lift your a brave man
Bought 10 tickets , fingers crossed đ€ â€â€
đđđ
Nice to see Tim helping youđ đ
nice car to win as a spare car..but new owner will need to write down a number for max to spend before selling and stick to it!
Bro im a big fan, super happy to see you getting the rs6 back to roadworthy but be careful filming the welding on camera cause usually they end up breaking lenses haha
Another your video before sleep , love it :D and pls can you put maybe 60FPS in your videos?
Should get in contact with VAG technic. Their in uk and do loads of work on these cars would happy answer any questions or where to get parts Iâd imagine
That's interesting. I have a '99 Polo and parts are getting harder to find. Is there a website or phone number please? Thanks!
@@ModelsExInferis I donât think thatâs what they would be able to help with. They specials in Audi S Rs and the diesels.
@@jonathanharte8609 Oh I see. With VAG in their name I thought they'd cover all VAG cars! đ Thanks for the reply though, appreciate your time.
I havenât gone anywhere⊠why do you keep telling me to come back? đ€Ł Great video on one of the best sounding cars ever đ
I've just bought one of these in Daytona pearl, about 2/3 the price you paid for this one, needs some bodywork but will get there, maybe it will have a twin parked next to it on the drive in a few weeks time đ
Beautiful car, can't wait for you to sort it out and have some fun driving it :)
I would jack it up to ride height and torque the suspension bolts. Measure the center of the wheel to top of the wheel arch before lifting the car
Missed opportunity to replace all the flexi pipes with Stainless Steel braided, Goodridge is my favourite.
Tim is a legend
Nice to see the trade plates in the window and the snap on van outside. You will be a "real" mechanic in no time haha
NEV autos sign needs to go up outside the workshop just for giggles. I'm gonna buy some tickets as i love the rs6.
Tim has done a super job. It looks OEM. đźđ
Just a thought on the paint job. Would it be worth including the paint job in the prize but if someone wanted a full repaint say they could pay extra. Just a thought
i like these videos, i like working on cars, this week I took the front bumper of my 2021 545e to replace a parking sensor.
I think this is an amazing CZcams channel, best of luck for your future endeavours đ
You should start serving coffee for mechanics đ
Hi mate, Iâd like to say something about your merch. I think the brand ânot economically viableâ is absolutely brilliant. Something a lot of us in the community can relate to ourselves. However, I feel your current t shirts and hoodies lack the same features as the channel, reflecting your CZcams name is quite specialist only to those who follow you. I really do feel like you would benefit from a graphic designer or some sort to bring your line to light.
Maybe a graphic of certain cars, hilarious quotes/comments from other subscribers etc.
Not that Iâm a graphic designer, but happy to give you a few pointers or inspiration on how it could look. I know this may seem like an AI generated scam, but honestly itâs the only thing holding me back from purchasing a t shirt. I live for shit cars, and my point is mainly, make your merch more about what you stand for, not just the channel.
Good to be so close to other car people.
My favorite channel nowadays
Another great vid! Please keep working on cars of this era!
Our thanks to the guys next door for helping out when you need a second opinion.
Nice one Nino. You sleeping well now đ
dang it... i wish i could buy a ticket for that car but im a bavarian mainland peasant
Soon be 100k subscribers đ
Loving this mate, huge progress and great you have experienced people around happy to help for a sheckle or two! đ
Tell Tim to also start a CZcams channel
That welding looked a right pain , dunno how he got above that pipe not easy work
Another great video on the RS6! Look forward to the next one! tempting me more and more to get some tickets!!
theres a place in bradford its call german and swedish cutler heights lane call them
Let's get this channel to 100k soonest.
Amazing video as always! Gunna increase my tickets purchase on payday by another 20 me thinks đ
Nice work, ive entered. If i win i'll give it a nice home.
Hello from France, Sainte-MĂšre-Ăglise.
Got the same Hankook tyres on my F56 Mini. Good wet weather grip and reasonably priced.
You can take that end of the brake pipe flexi by the way
Had to fix my flexpipes on my Audi A6 C5 2.4.
Have been a fan since day one Nino. You just get better with every video. Can't wait for the next one đđ
Great work on the rs6 I've got 5 tickets đ€đ€ love your channel Nev you do a great job mate đđ
Can't wait for the next video on this Rs6 . Will buy a couple of tickets too â€
Love taps? Iâd be going to prison đđđ
Entered, you're doing great work for a great cause
Super to see your progress, and your constant humility and good humour. I am really looking forward to seeing your welding training - I need to learn to improve my skills. Best of luck!
Descale your kettle and chuck the washer jets in the solution, that will sort them.
