Famous last words, this is gonna be a piece of cake. Good luck with that.
Greg Well, that's up to Sam, and whatever his expectations of this project. Let's ask him. Hey Sam, what are your plans for this build? Give us a time table.
It ain't bout me He was being positive, you on the other hand is the exact opposite.
Man I had to watch this completely through. It's like a movie with a cliff hanger. Nice job!
The story of the runaway delivery driver is up next...
Samcrac when will that come out
Can’t wait to see it!
Can't wait for this one!!
Make longer vlogs 👍🏻❤️
I really want to hear this!
So pleased you got it started great video, cheers Phil from the uk
This car is so sexy it makes me want to cry... 😭
802 Garage fuck it in the exhaust
Dephy hahahahhahaah omg dude
Dephy yoo
How much did he paid for the RS7 ??
Dephy nigga what?
Thisnis gonna be badass when your done! Your one of the best youtubers out there man!
dude it already is bad ass lol
So excited for this. Hopefully you keep it for a long time and do some cool stuff with it!!
Cool stuff, you mean drive it? What else could he do with it...
Samcrac the hood rate mechanic
Love the Skagen watch Sam, thanks again. Keep up with the great uploads!
19:11 That sound is glorious. Please don't put the factory mufflers back on. XD
my dick got so hard when the rs7 started up...
eww
802 Garage poplop
I'm pretty sure not running any exhaust is illegal even in the US, not very healthy for the car either.
VidyaBoutCars I wasn't saying don't run an exhaust, just not the factory.
Turns out this car had a modified exhaust anyways.
This Audi is all there. Just needs everything plugged back in, back pulled out and a good detail. This is the prime example of German engineering. These Audi’s have the best minds at Volkswagen all working together to deliver one of the best looking and performing cars on the road. The fact that it started like it did after sitting for months, low on oil etc is a solid testament to that.
Cracc heads stand up
You found a very good deal I'm so jealous.
Honestly, I am so hyped to see where this series goes :D The car honestly looks like it's in great condition for a salvage.
Victory Gamingg amazing condition. He got beyond lucky.
how is it even a write off if so? just looks like someone rear ended and then the car has went into the car in front, same thing happened to my friends vauxhall corsa and that survived even with similar looking damage. (haven't watched through full video as i post so not sure what exactly is the case).
all i can think is the shop thought its not worth rebuying official parts from audi and making next to zero money back on reselling and refixing.
Typically if the person insuring the car has a "new for old/like new" cover, if their car is under a certain age and the insurance deems it more expensive than 30-50% of the market value, they will just sell the damaged car and buy a new car
Wouldn't it be so cool to have the RS7 in payback?
Got goosebumps when she started up!
I can't wait for you to start the build!
8:11 ghost of the previous Audi RS7 driver trying to communicate with Sam.
That is one nice ass find
Yeah Sam, another great video. Glad you got it started, it's going to look beautiful when it's finished. Thanks.
The sound of RS7 !! The very best of.. Good job! I wish you all the best from Hungary in Europe.
Sorry sam, you didn't hear me yelling at the screen about that jumper bar being disconnected. One thing about electrical: follow the path. The main connection went into the accident disconnect, then to all the other connnections. To simply by pass all those and think it's going to start....ummm this isn't a 1970 dodge dart lol......
Muskoka Mike I think Sam wishes this WAS a 1970 Dodge Dart.
haha, they were SO easy to work on. I could do points plugs and set the timing in 20 minutes.....fuel pump? 15 minutes...starter? 20.....pull the engine and replace it in a hour and a half.....
now compare that to a Nissan VQ30 engine...
Muskoka Mike These modern cars are complex for no reason.
I wouldn't say NO reason, but the way they do what they do certainly is. Like the electronic release for the hatch....a key in a hole works 99.8% of the time AND when there's no power. Do we really need 7 electronically controlled suspension settings? For eg: the battery went dead in my truck. Replaced the battery and then my power windows wouldn't work. Why? because they needed a number of start/stop cycles for the ECU to "remember" I had power windows. Why are the windows connected to the ECU? It's a simple switch connected to a motor. Nothing else needs to be done. No printed circuits, no capacitors or ICs required.
Like that explosive disconnect....know what worked fine for 60 years? the driver turning the engine off if they got into an accident.
"This is going to be easy peasy." - George Armstrong Custer June 24th, 1876.
What?
"How hard could it be?" Richard Hammond.
Haskell Barnett lol cracked me up
The Battle of Little Bighorn (AKA Custer's last stand) happened from June 25 - June 26 1876. During the battle Lt. Col. Custer led the US Army's 7th Calvary to overwhelming defeat. Custer deciding that an easy victory was at hand decided to leave his artillery behind and attack what he thought was a small group . In reality he was attacking a combined force of 2000-3000 Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Sioux warriors. Custer was killed early in the battle and the 7th Calvary suffered more than 50% casualties.
Haskell Barnett was that before or after the sand creak massacre? I can’t remember
I just wanted to say thanks for these videos! I was EXTREMELY hesitant with working on a German vehicle let alone an expensive one from a salvage yard. However, you inspired me to purchase and fix up a 2014 Audi S5. I must admit, I never knew just how much of a bargain this method of car buying truly is and how much knowledge can be attained from attempting such a project. Already added a 2012 Mercedes E350 and a 2015 Toyota Tacoma to the fleet of salvaged cars when at one point in time, I was thinking to buy one less-than-amusing car for the price of these three combined! Thanks and keep up the awesome work!
I love this channel. Quality content, and this guy has one hell of a drive. Project after project!
This is what i am waiting for!!!
We use the same brand of feed lol and that is a nice car
You got one helluva hobby. Love the vids! Live and work in Germany and I see these beasts all day long on Autobahn 3, 6,7 & 9.
my fav youtube channel, i dont get the first thing about mechanic but your passions so inspiring .. keep it up
Forget the code reader. You need Ross tech vcds. Then you will know exactly what’s wrong. It’s like $199 for the enthusiast version with the laptop usb cable. You work on Audi’s occasionally so it’s def worth having.
ross tech is good but some audi features request ODIS software.
One of my dream cars
better buy new rs4 or RS6 C6, worth it
Love it Sam!!
Love it when you rebuild Audi's Sam keep em coming. Awesome seeing you troubleshoot!
I see the chickens aren't around when there's work to be done! Bums!
Risky! Glad that jack didn't bleed down!
I got goosebumps when the engine started rumbling, such an awesome car and very well done man!
Congrats persistence is the key and you got to have some knowledge obviously you're not scared of asking questions I think you got a winner on your hands
Thank you. Suddenly I want to buy an RS7 now-.-
Ahhh, be prepared my friend. It's like the hotter cousin to the money put Jetta ;) best of luck.
Awsome video! I just lost track of time watching you trying to start that engine... Keep up the good work sam.. tc cheers from Aruba
What a Score Sam! Happy for you. You won the RS7 lotto with this keeper!
Cant u put a jumper on a fuse box battery connector and get power from that point?
I thought the same, usually there are terminals in the engine bay in the front to jumpstart the car from there.
The terminal that he connects tge jumper to at the end....could have connected a booster pack to it and opened the trunk fron the internal switch inside the car. Would have been alot less hassle
CM FPV yea thats exactly what i was thinking
Love that car, but it looks like it might be a bit of an electrical nightmare.
4DIYers Without VCDS V2 yes. And with VCDS Tool you are still not able to recalibrate some things like the Front Camera or ACC Radar. Need Special Equipment that only Audi Dealers have.
yup, and setting up all this stuff is a crazy waste of time, it take about an hour to install the tools and 2min to operate calibration. at least it's not the new 7 serie, wich have Two ACC radar ^^
Excited for this rebuild! As a heads up there might be jump start points under the hood to power up the car. BMWs typically has them and the wire is fused (40amps). Safer than jumping the car directly at the battery.
He knows, he used them to start the car. He couldn't initially, because the car's power was totally disabled by the pyrotechnic disconnect.
Badass Sam. One of my favorite sedans of all time. The rs6 is #1 but this is #2 or 3 for sure. The two best parts: that sexy roofline and stance, and the twin turbo v8 with the turbos in the valley.
Those wheels are worth like 12k 15k. HRE are very expensive
Unfortunately in his new video he tells how they were curbed to shit while being delivered :\
But still, I prefer the original RS's rims
What something sells for and what it’s worth are totally different things. 4 wheels are not worth 12k.
evilution They are!
@@evilutionltd actually they are exactly the same. The cost is what is different.
May the strength of 10,000 chickens be with you!
GeriatricJerrycan strength of a 10,000 chicken is weak. He needs million in order for him to continue finishing project cars
Awesome car hope you get it done soon be waiting for all the updates on this sweet ride !!
Great buy and video. My dream car for sure. Good luck. Look forward to the repair build
Always start a nut by hand! Never just start cranking like Sam did with the power tools on the battery terminal. Doing what Sam did is a sure fire way to destroy the the threads!
Sam I would thought with all your experience working on cars you would of learnt that by now.
seeing him installing the batterie fuse while booster plugged in made me sick! fortunally new cars are better protected from things like that, 10years ago he would have killed the calculator.
I only watched few minutes so far and I need to comment...
All Audis have jump start connector in the front, under the hood, by the windshield. You made it super difficult for no reason.
I love you videos - keep the coming
Either way he still had to do that bypass thingamaduhiker on the actual battery itself
Normally yes. Read the other comment.
Well, I commented 2 minutes into the video. You guys are right.
porfessional audi worker here, when these car crash there is a specific proecedure to rearm and reset many calculators, you also need to replace de battery securities and some other aribags and seatbelt component before injecting power in it. so don't use the motor compartiment poles ;)
long time watcher, new subscriber! Good job Sam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Am looking forward to this build for sure! Keep up the good work! 👍
God this is so exciting!
That car is going to be so Fu#&%ng nice!!!!!!
As a fellow Audi owner of an A6 Prestige, I felt extremely happy when the engine finally turned on and excited!! Holy shit the engine sounds sooo GOOD
I appreciate your channel! So much car knowledge!
Why so obsessed to get these wrecked cars to start so quickly without a full,in depth inspection? More damage could be caused without being cautious.

Sam stop what your doing and take a vacation get some rest
Msardinas86 big facts
Msardinas86 I agree
Sam knows the grind never stops 💪🏻
Msardinas86 go to Disneyworld
he would be on coparts website while waiting in line at disney
cracking car. love the jbs you do in the cars you get. have to wait until you put your video on. hurry please.
Great channel 👍🏻, found you the other day, I can’t believe the amount of systems they put on cars these days. It’s no wonder insurance companies just write them off. Great video really looking forward to the next
I want this car so bad it's 🔥
How much did that car cost?
This is amazing
It’s literally just like tavarish
Now I have 2 good youtubers to watch!
New subscriber
Keep it up dude!!
Dude I think you did really well with this Audi... What a deal!
How come you didnt just use the John Deere to pull it off the trailer?
How mutch did u pay for the rs7
My favorite part of these videos is the ending because that song always leaves me pumped to work on my car after watching another awesome samcrac video
Dude ! I totally love all your work ! I’m gonna start doing it myself now !
84th! Hi Samcrac, keep up the quality videos
How much? I need this in my life!
That start up at the end made me smile :)
nice, so far ... congrats on starting it ... sounds nice .... best of luck !
Dont you just pop the hood and use the jump start positive terminal with a power pack to power up the car and open the trunk ?
Even a 12v power supply into the cigarette socket might be enough to power the locks etc to open the trunk .
I was wondering the same thing.
He also could have removed the 2 very visible nuts for the trunk latch and opened it up. Would have saved a whole time of time and drama.
Wrong. If you have a bosster (auxiliary power unit), open the hood connect to the jump start and the car start.... and whith the blown relay ( in Germany we have another name ), ther its a trick. I work whith acident (damage) cars in a big company, i now what i am seing, many cars ( Mercedes, Audi, Fiat, bmw...) have a blown relay in diferent ways. Nobody will learn you these tricks you just need to discover them.
Does it have the crazy expensive sound system? That adds alot of value to a really expensive car already
It does, Bang & Olufsen.
B&O is standard on S/RS7. I paid 5k for mine in a simple sline packet A7. To be honest, the bose system for 1k is good enough. B&O does not worth the money. I dont think a sound system is adding that much value. Still sold it for 30k€, so ive lost 25k over 190.000 km and 4 years.
Alex yeah.. no. Bose is the standard audio system in Audi 🤷🏼♀️
julie xoxo no its not...the Standards are without any sign. So if u have bose the sound system should have the bose sign on all Speakers..our Audi do not have any signs..and its a q7 2018 Modell
Mr. Eko in that specific model..
The cracc King rolling in style down at the keys baby.....looking a lot like 50 cent now....lol
my man this is one of the best vids ive seen from you keep it up with these vids and keep the same style of video i love it and i love you great job :*
Oo shit this car gonna be nice!
3k views, 300 likes. How hard is it to click that button people?!
I’m not an Audi fan although there great cars this is a great video it moved along enough to keep my interest, as a level 1 Master Technician for BMW 19 yrs, I’m so glad you are going one issue at a time showing these high end German cars can be worked on by everyday people good job !
Sam,
I'm sweating bullets here watching you try and get this monster started. Finally! Whoo hoo.
Is there jump start post under the hood? Just so you can get some power to push the trunk button?
I love you sam
Great job tough guy. Hope everything goes well. You deserve all the best.
Repairing a salvage car is hard work and you gotta do it all yourself.. respect! And keep it up
Looks like need to buy a trailer
wow and no rev video or outside shot of the start up
Heinrich Ranches would be a bad idea to rev the car lol. And he probably did not want to start it many times in case the Engine was missing some fluids. And Aldo starting the car would require a little more than that jumpbox
How sure are you about "was missing some fluids?" The car was indicated running lol. So get your facts straight first nigga.
Heinrich Ranches just by the coolant level being low, that to me is an indication that other fluids might be low as well
Awesome car. I can't wait to see what it ends up costing total. You've been knocking it out of the park lately.
The dash lighting up.. that felt as an Eureka moment.. even from behind my desk haha!
You need tavarish on the job ASAP
Sean Sean they both live in FL HELL YEAH!
isn't a positive post under the hood?
gianfrancoa That's what I wondered. Was there no way to charge the battery in the engine bay?
Paul Obee You can but you can't do anything if that safety fuse is blown.
Ivon Morrissey I should have watched the entire video before posting. The safety block that was blown definitely prevents any underhood charging. Sam did it the right way to fix it, unfortunately for him it wasn't easy.
Right, normally you can do stuff from the remote connections in the ‘right’ locations (under the hood) but the collision blows the pyro fuse and you have to go direct to the battery (and short where the fuse was).
Positive and negative post in the car
Positive is in a flap under the windshield and the negative just sticks out from the Motor
This is my favourite car of all time. Great job! best of luck.
I really enjoyed this video; was excited to see it start.
Who skipped the whole 20 minutes to see this man start this god damn car .............
Me? Ok...
One small question: Why is this video uploaded AFTER yesterday's one? It depicts things that happened before yesterday's video. Or am I stupid? Do you always upload out of order? :)
I noticed this too! We saw the back all fixed from the body shop right?
I was like, holy crap, is the Mandela effect real 😂😂😂
I thought you had a tractor? Chain, blocks of wood? Is there someway of putting it into neutral? It has to be easier than this? Pick it from the rear, pull the truck forward slowly! Go jacks? Cmon?
How hard was that?
May have needed more editing so he did it later?
Hey man I've recently found my way to your channel by accident and I just wanted to leave a comment letting you know I'm really enjoying the videos and I've become quite addicted. 👍
Subscribed and liked the vid cuz your gonna save my dreamcar and bring it in good state, im gonna follow the series !
First AF... This better be good.
You really were fast AF, but unfortunately not first AF
If you ain't first... you're last.
Richard last AF
Man this car is sexy!!
Anyone else thought their Headset just died because of the noise on the right at 8:27?
But other thing, just found your Channel and awesome to finally see someone that actually lays hand on his cars mending them instead of going to a workshop
I have watch you from the start good job, your big fan from Saudi Arabia!
