Don't give up on the TT! That's the reason why I started watching your channel.
Except that it's an Audi. Audi's never stop falling apart.
Don’t give up on the TT. Remember that fun trip with Little Sarah to go get it? Use that for inspiration to stay motivated on it.
You have been so bright and cheerful lately and then you bring out the TT. Please don't let it get you down again.
Hang in there Sweetcakes. My TT did the same thing after sitting for nearly a year. The smoke stopped after about a 10-15 minute drive. I hope to see more on the German nightmare. Stay positive, stay safe, and most of all stay Sarah...
Hi Sarah, I've just binge watched your entire Mister Dos series, it's great to see an MR2 gone through in so much detail, you're extremely lucky to have a rust free example and its been an absolute joy to watch, not to mention you have a fantastic personality and sense of humour. If Carlsberg made the perfect woman...
I missed her TT. I can't wait to see her fix it... again.
Wellful Goodness Her TT’s are all I look at..
And again, and again, and again...
Don’t give up!!! My TT cam belt snapped whilst driving, 7 valves later new forged con rods and bigger hybrid turbo. Engine is finally in and running so worth it now! Get that clutch and flywheel done it’s not as bad as you think
I miss the TT videos so badly!!!!
same here, i originally came to this channel bcs of the TT
Nice TT. I had an SLK 200 Kompressor, and for the money, they're amazing. The hard top makes you forget it's a convertible.
You are about 4-6 years into my future.
Me watching your videos is my way of looking in the future and seeing (with a bit of imagination) how my project cars would look like in the future. Lol
Well Done!
The quails stole the show but you are still the star. Glanced over the comments and there is a LOT of love out there for you and from me too. I started watching cause of the MR2(maybe the greatest car ever) but just keep coming back cause you are funny, smart, dedicated, creative, and very easy on the eyes.
250k coming up and I know you will go 1M. You got what it takes girlfriend, no doubt! Love ya and wish you the best!
I continue to be amazed by by Sarah's attention to quality workmanship. That wiring job is top notch.
Your patience is amazing with your knowledge of wiring!!! If I could learn half of what you know I would be SOOOOOOO happy working on the inside of my vehicles!!!! LOVE what you do!!! Thank you for sharing your time with us!!!!!!💖💖
You are a real "spaghetti-artist" with all those wires! I admire your skills! Please give the TT a chance! It deserves it! You give me the most positive comfort during lock down period! Have fun! in AZ. Regards from the NL!
Every Yay and Hmm with a smile always cracks me up!!
Don't ever change, your perfect just the way you are.
But you Bob it's "you're" not "your"
You are not weird Sarah you are just amazing the way you are ☺️😉😁
I upgraded both subs in my 94 (93+ has two factory subs) with Tang Band 5.25" subs. Several writeups out there on them. They sound great and use the factory boxes.
I don't know a lot about cars, but I do know audio. Set the low pass back at 100hz and just turn the input down. 35 to 100hz is subwoofer range.(I'm actually surprised that anything was coming out of that tiny sub with the low pass set at 35hz. Big double 18" concert PA subs don't go much lower than that.) If that head unit has the ability, set a high pass at 100hz for the door speakers. That way the door and the sub aren't both pumping out the same frequencies. Much cleaner sound that way. Love your channel. Keep up the excellent work.
You are so groovy and Im glad you are the way you are... always watch as soon as I get that DING ( notification bell )
Thanks
Eric
Not only IS the Sarah cool, but the Sarah also ENABLES the cool via the electrical knowledges!
[cookie emoji here + ding of approval sound]
I am addicted to these car review and project car channels. I learn something new on at least every third video. Thanks for your hard work.
I think I need to get one of those subwoofers and some door speakers for my 99 Civic Si. I've lived with the meek factory stereo for 21 years now.
You might have inspired me 🙂
I don’t care how weird you might be, I think you are awesome. Great girl. Great channel.
Same here with sound systems. I like hearing clean music sound. Not some stupid sheet metal and plastic rattling. LOL
I love the way you get excited when you finish stuff.
Afternoon, weird Sarah. Your weirdness and innuendos are what I find most entertaining about the channel. 😉👍🏻
Just stumbled onto your channel, nearly cruised past but watched your review of the Supra - now I understand why you've got such a following. Such a normal natural way of presenting - breath of fresh air compared to so many "look at me" CZcamsrs. And you know your stuff! Keep it up. Subscribed.
I have a 2002 TT Coupe Quattro. I found your channel while looking for info on TT suspension. Love your vids, keep it up and DO NOT give up on the TT! I think I'm keeping my suspension stock but renewing all the rubber parts. I'm considering doing a Milltek cat-back resonated exhaust, too, not too loud but just for a bit of growl. Mine has only +/- 62k miles on it.
The TT was how I found this channel! I was like oh oh audi! I never thought someone would go to the depths, I do for cars! Kertoppel tot! haha! The light burning of oil is probably from sitting not started for a while. The oil rings at the bottom of the stack haven't been seated against the cylinder wall for a while... Or Valve guide seals. :| It should go away after warming up.. I wonder if they make a lightened solid flywheel? I know they do for the 1.8ts
I think you are a great role model for young women showing that practical technology can be fun and doesn't compromise their femininity. Keep safe...
Love the “I dream of Genie “ look!
Awesome job installing the subwoofer!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Sarah, you're not weird, you're cool. Love your garage work.
Mortimer Latin Jones Sarah is both weird and cool.
I am impressed.
In 2000 we were upgrading our cheap, messie cars with massive subwoofers. After that we spent hours taping everything that was rattling. Huge fun 😄😄😄
Swamp cooler fix for the win! You're way smarter than I am. Got a bio-chemistry degree so that can't be all that bad of a compliment!
TT=content. Aaaaaand go!
Had problems with valve stem seals on my Camaro a long time ago. But when I started the engine, it was a white smoke that came out of the exhaust. Not blue.
Mad props on getting the swamp cooler up and running again. How do people that can't fix things survive?
I can watch you work on anything!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍
For the radio wiring I would have purchased Metra Reverse Harness Part # 71-1761. That would be the factory style connector coming out of the dash. You could have then soldered that into the factory wiring. So when you installed a radio you would buy Metra Harness Part # 70-1761, that you would wire to the new stereo's harness so it just plugs into the factory wiring.
In a small interior, a decent powered 8” subwoofer will fill out the low end nicely. You did a great job!
You might want to secure the bass speaker to the compartment somehow. Maybe add additional foam either side? It could rattle around in there when cornering. I've seen how you drive. 😂
Objective See it’s incredible tight fit in there, no way it’s going to move. But yes, a bracket will be added anyway! 😁
@@SarahnTuned Get another lid and multi drill it so you can let the sound out. Add a cover made from speaker grille material. They are meant to go under the seat so they massage your bum. Perhaps better under the passenger one so you can keep your mind on the driving.
Add a port to the lid
@@SarahnTuned Love the work you've been showing on The 2. Wish I had found earlier. I'm a bit past the beginning of starting the very same project 91T. Your vids have answered some questions I've had about which way/mod I should go with. Hope it's still running strong. I had a q about the TT through - are those the stock wheels from audi?
I actually got something very similar looking for my 2, OZ Ultraleggera's(spelling not sure). Anyway, enjoy all the work your doing
Finally!!!!!!!! THE TT IS BACK HOLY SHIT
Oh - an episode I somehow missed - did not think they existed. Nice! - Ah, that song that come on at like 10:10 is like sounding so close to one of my all-time favorites; Stripped by Depeche Mode - those who made it must have sampled parts of that song... Great video - thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome!
Sarah stay healthy continue being awesome
The Car Wizard has videos about decarbonizing the valves. Also, the variable runner intake manifold has these doors inside of it that get sticky with carbon buildup. So the cylinder head and intake manifold may be the issue with the burning oil .
I had a Bazooka woofer on my 93 MR2 turbo and placed it right behind the seat. Sounded awesome! Come on Barbie let's go party...
I'm with you on the audio, decent sound upgrade but not crazy loud.👍
I can't believe I sat here watching almost 60 TT videos just to find out it has been sitting broken in storage for 6 months. How disappointing! But I'm going to watch the MR2 videos now.
If you go more than 80%(some car are differents in that percentage) on the throttle it cut the injector to unflood the engine some will even firing to help, some don't. You can pump it but just dont go to the floor if you want to start, but you can use this feature to prime the engine oil too, got some help with a booster or charge the battery before. I did that on an early 90's car, it had a oil pressure gauge and was fuel injected, floored it crank 2 times for about 10s and got oil pressure then crank it normaly
I've had a similar experience with my s3. Spent large parts of the last 18 months sat as it needed a lot of work doing such as turbo, clutch etc. It had never smoked before then when it was used daily. I've used it a little more often recently after all the work was finished and it's gradually stopped puffing out random blue whisps. I just don't think these older cars like sitting. Seals can go hard over time without use
I could watch your videos all day....always interesting, entertaining and educational.....love the detailing videos
just picked up an 2002 Audi TT project. Saw your vids. They are great. Hope to make a bunch of vids based on my experiences too. Thanks,
Always entertained and informed
More TT's please
gotta a sound test youd enjoy. try these sounds fall from the bucketheads and then try deep inside from hard drive. couple trks from the 90's you may of forgot but will enjoy !
Get back on the TT soon, the complexity of it is a challenge but great to see you succeed
I remember from a previous video you mentioned breaking your brand new Apple Watch, and I don’t know when you were able to replace it, but I am pleased to see one very visible while you were wiring under the dash.
Goodjob,Sarah👍
from Japan
Sarah, at 9:05 I love how your nails color matches the accent color of your cars touchscreen perfectly 👌😁. Keep up your awesome attitude and videos and be safe!
Oh I had to pause and look for that comment lol ^^
Sarah you have done a fantastic job , top marks to you love
A simple Oil Catch Can would help a lot to eliminate start up smoke. It keeps blow by and valve seal oil from entering your intake, clean burn = no smoke.
That car needs a lot more than just a catch can right now, lol.
This is actually a great comparison of how a Japanese and European car ages and which one is able to be resurrected easier, cheaper to fix and reliable.
Remember the MR2 is even older by a huge margin close to if not at least a decade or more. In terms of car years, that equates to 2 to 3 generation model years.
For perspective If you purchased the new Supra today, wait till it is in it's 3rd generation (10 years later) and that will be when the TT was manufactured. So a huge age difference!
damn, you look sharp in this episode...
Nice work on Mr. Dos. That fuel tank will be tough, but you'll get it done. Just take time to feed yourself. Content is important, but your health is more important. Besides, its easier to think after a quick meal. Sharp mind, quick hands, more content happens even with a deadline.
The smile you had when Tater Tot started up was priceless. Keep going so we can see your happiness when you get it where you want it to be.
I have similar mini sub in my 02 Focus work car. It's great, perfect for filing out a the sounds in on a budget
Funny, it just reminded me I bought one of these when my car was new, and it has been lying in its box for the last 6 years.
Oh, and a 17cm Focal kit for the doors too..
Yeah, I'm that lazy.
It can be bluish though, I guess it's the amount of oil that it's burning. But it's most likely either those or the piston rings stuck. And if they're stuck, they either start working when they get oil or not.
Hey @Sarah -n- Tuned, have you replaced the oil filter mesh thing at the oil pan? It tends to get clogged and the oil pressure drops and... you know the rest.
The factory subwoofer on the MR2 sits in that cubby behind each seat. If it didn’t have a grill directly below the lid then your MR2 probably didn’t have it or the grill was replaced.
I replaced the small 4.5 woofers and the other 4 speakers in my ‘93 because they were completely worn out. Huge difference.
I'm using the older version of your Pioneer Subwoofer and i am Happy with it too. My Cabriolet is no bass Competition Car, too. Love your work.
A different way to fix your swamp cooler would be to install a GFCI outlet in your garage, which you should probably have in there anyway since you occasionally wash stuff in there. That way next time the GFCI plug on your swamp cooler dies you can just replace it with a regular plug. Your garage outlet may already be wired into a GFCI circuit depending on the building codes in your area and for the most part you only need one GFCI outlet in the circuit to make all the outlets on that circuit GFCI. Just be careful where you plug in the swamp cooler if you do go this route next time.
Yeah if you really enjoy your music its a great idea to add a sub in your car to fill out the low end. Doesn't have to be some monster set up just like an 8" or 10" will do. Most mid range door speakers will cut off around 40-60hz depending on quality. You need something to cover that 50-0hz range. You would be surprised how much you are missing in a song not hearing all the music covered in that range. Given the limited space and no trunk or rear deck available i think you made a great choice Sarah.
Yeeeee!!!! the TT is back!!!
Just leave the car on jack stands / wood blocks when leaving it parked for really long periods of time. That will keep your tires nice and round.
The blue smoke is normal oil does sip through the seals. It burns off after a few minutes. I turn an old small block 350 about once a year once I did it for 2 years and the blue smoke was insane for ya few minutes!
You will need some sound deaderner at the doors... It much more effective than having the sub woofer.
The sound deaderner will reduce the door panel vibration and prevent frequency lose...
Really enjoy watching your vids, Im currently working on a JDM MR2 turbo that needs a lot of love and patience. So your vids are really helpful. Great content Sara. Also I'm a viewer from The Bahamas!
Sarah-n-tune it will be very impressive to see you with your big garage . With all of your work being exposed to the millions of people viewing your show
Unless you do SPL Competitions, most of us never need more than one sub, and underseat subs are fine.
Just make sure there is enough air flow in that little spot that it will not overheat.
Glad to see the T.T. is still around.
Pumping the pedal on most FI cars works as expected up to 80% (ish) TPS, after that they are usually mapped for zero fuel allowing you to put the pedal to the floor and turn it over to clear any flooding😉
The nice people at Home Depot or Lowes will sell you a new GFCI plug, I had to change the one on my power washer.
All those great wiring trouble shooting skills you learned came in real handy, glad the swamp cooler is back up! No matter what the TT road trip home vid was pretty epic. xo
Yes AUDI TT
That nice ECS exhaust. I forgot how nice it sounds! You will get it fixed!
Lovely Jubbly, as always a video that makes you smile.
Don't know if its on purpose, but its cute how you say solder. 😁
Awesome! I've been looking for a subwoofer solution for my 73 bug and my little 01 S-10 2door 2wd Blazer!
Nice to see the TT out again.
Cool video with excellent scenery
It sounds awesome Sarah 🙌 you're really pretty too
Green Bay Packers nails FTW! 😉
Shout out for Astrid S! 4:59 Great job on the upgrades. Happy to see TT back 😃
Same method I have using for heat shrinking . soldering iron .👍
Wow that TT sounds like a beast. Really loud for its size. lol
Dang it Sarah, got the barbie song stuck in my head...both English and German versions 😂😅
Nice to see you live in a Manson. Another successful CZcamsr! Love the T-shirt.
I am ready to see the TT being worked on again, you are so close to having everything on it replaced and ready to be a fun weekend car. If not I am looking to buy if you sell it.
Next time try staggering those spade/crimp connectors in the loom. It'll save you a huge knot in the loom and make stuffing in the dash easier.
The Mk 1 Audi TT will become a European classic car in the next 10-15 years and could increase in value I was also tempted to buy a TT project but they are full of gremlins possibly like my mk 2 golf GTi which you could never really keep on top of fix or repair daily (domino effect) best of luck Sarah
Next time you swap a radio, or add anything with several pins, you can get all kinds of generic connectors with pins that you can wire up for more of a factory feel, instead of using a bunch of spade terminals or soldering it all in. Radio specific, ISO connectors are my go to, gives a very clean finish, basically make your own adapter.
Don't worry much about a few puffs of smoke from a car that's been sitting for a while, let everything clear itself out and see what's going on then. Your suspected fuel pressure regulator will cause fuel rail pressure to sink down, a few cycles of the key primes the rail and will allow it to start up easier, hitting the pedal just opens the throttle body.
You didn't touch on it in this video, but on your sgc1, you might want to look at the wiring diagram for your headlight circuit again. I think the power feed you chose for it's backlight dim input is the ground side of your high beam. If so, when you hit brights on, it will undim that display, slightly annoying, but not a problem. However, if that controller doesn't have sufficient snubbing diodes built into it, the flyback current from those lights could damage the controller.
Hey Sarah , awesome to see you messing around with the TT 😎👍 I have a first gen Audi tt s line, just did a motor swap on it had the 180hp in it and put the 225hp motor in it . Such a challenging car to work on no room anywhere 😂 but such a fun little car to drive though. I love my( tater tot ) 👍😎 love the videos , keep up the awesome work .👍😉😎😎
