- This video is designed for ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS. If you have NEVER serviced your own car, this will give you the knowledge to do so safely.
We will look at; Oil and filter change, pollen filter change, air filter change, and gapping and swapping spark plugs.
You'll need some basic tools;
Trolley jack - low entry is best
Axle Stands
19mm spanner or socket with wrench
Oil filter removal tool - you can buy it here --- www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B010Q63RG...
T25 driver
Phillips screw driver
5mm hex driver
3/8 drive 10/16mm spark plug removal tool
3/8 ratchet
3/8 extension bar
10mm socket
rags/tissues
oil catch tray
Please watch the video in its entirety before commencing with the job, especially if it is your first time working on your own car. Make sure the vehicle is stable once its jacked up. Dispose of the oil oil and filter responsibly, the other bits can go in the normal waste.
Stay safe, but if you're still not happy to try it yourself, see below to book me in to do it for you.

Wow. I struggle to do these jobs on my drive. You can do them in the road, one handed, while commentating. Respect. Great content, thank you!
He's doing one on wallpapering next...
Hi mate, I’ve recently bought a mark 1 TT and your videos have been INVALUABLE in helping me home service it 👍many thanks, I really appreciate your emphasis on detail and showing all the steps in maintaining the car,

I also grease the door hinges, check the water content in the brakefluid with a tester, the coolant level tyre pressure and probably a few things more . Great work with only one hand. 😅
I did this exact job on my own TT. Spent most of the time cleaning up oil; from the car, the floor, me...
Nice video mate. Very clear and a great guide for people wanting to give it a go. With the Audi TT getting to "that" age, it is a great car for trying your hand at these things. I am working my way through the various jobs on mine at the moment and documenting them on here to help others. It is surprising the number of jobs that need doing once you start! Looking to take my dash out and send it off for an LCD screen next I think. Keep up the great content!
Great video, Will definitely be doing this now myself. Been trying to learn a lot about the car myself and save money on garage costs and potential fob offs. Great channel, Simple and informative.
Great video as I have just bought my first service kit, so this gives me much more confidence - thanks!
Great video. Just finished putting new roters and pads on the rear of my 225 had to rebuild a caliper because it was stuck. Wasn't planning on doing the rebuild but a first time for everything. And yes it brakes. 😁
Top tips as always, and you explain why you do things. Quality.
This fella is actually good.. I’m new to this channel but I’m already impressed.. keep up good chap..
Thanks :)
Here I am again watching this video. There’s nothing like a refresher to boost your confidence before undertaking a task.
Thanks heaps for your awesome content.
🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🍀🍀🍀
Happy new year 2022
Another fabulous video
Just what I was looking for.💯
Great video, had to take the spark plugs out of my TT to get the water out of cylinders (long story ) and this video was a great help. Especially the tip of removing the oil using the spark plug socket. Thanks
Really awesome upload!
Brings new meaning to one arm tied behind your back.
Great skills there!
Thank you so much for your awesome Channel. I always look forward to your new videos.
🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🍀🍀🍀
Thank's bro for sharing this informations and for doing that good job just with one hand!
Thanks From France
Another excellent video, thanks!👍
Great advice 👍
Cracking vid Bryn
Great vid learnt a lot here 👍🏻
Great video ty from Portugal
How about a video for coolant flushing buddy
Dude. Just thank you!
Amazing video
This was a really good guide 👌👍😎
Thanks :)
Nice work
Hola,interesante video,Acaba de compr un Audi TT y estas cosas me gusta verla
Hi, helpful video! I have a question: My TT is lefthand drive so the pollenfilter was on the other side. The plastic part that you popped out at 5:52 wasnt loose for me so I had problems installing it. I had to bend it to get the filter in.
Is it an important part? because I may have cracked it a bit.
Might service mine when I do the gearbox re-align, probs make it a bit easier with the filter and half the box out of the way..
I use Liquimoly 5w40. Not the top fancy ones either. Top Tec 4100 5W-40 or Leichtlauf HC7 5W-40
I believe changing it regularly in short intervals like every 3000km with cheaper(BUT still quality!) oil is much better than long intervals on the most expensive ones. It's the ingredients that give them so called longevity that make them expensive mainly anyway.
Getting rid of burnt stuff and particles as soon as you can is the best.
I swear by Castrol Edge 5W-30. Other than mobil 1 which was used by the dealer for the 1st service, it's only had Castrol Edge 5W-30 in it and more than 100k miles later it still runs smooth.
Cool Video 😊
So impressive 👏👏👏👏
Hey man thanks for the vid, can u tell us where did you buy the "quattro" strut caps?
And all that with one hand. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Top man. Thanks!!
i like the caps you have over the shocks they look great where did you get them thanks
Are there any better sparkplugs to use when your car is remapped? I think I already have platinums inl.
Mods are
Remap to 185hp from 150 (stage 1 if that actually means anything haha)
Ram air intake
Full stainless exhaust
On my 54 plate 180,i have a slight flat spot on hard acceleration. And the idle very slightly going up and down, would a service help. And also would you recommend a carbon clean service on these. My tt is on 114000 miles, cheers
Bryn, your opinion on forte engine flush, bad idea or will be ok?? Cheers, Nick
What areas do you cover ? I'm near Eltham se9.
Need some stuff doing in the near future.
I watched your power steam pipe change I didn’t realise there’s different types one for automatic car and one for a manual car I just bought the pipe and took it to the garage lucky the garage is a decent man is still fit in the Type I don’t know if you mention this in yourSteering pipe change
I’m using Castrol synthetic longlife 5w30 done 2 track days so due a change will try 5w40 afterwards could do with thicker oil for track days
5w30 on trackdays i think its not a good option
Great video buddy, going to tackle a wing change, rocker cover gasket and service on my 225, will be honest bricking myself but won't learn unless I try.
Maybe you or someone cab advise, get like a static sound from the Audi stereo speakers even when it's off, any ideas? Don't think it's a bose system and no labels on the door cards.
Any content on bushes, springs, wheels in general would be great.
Hi Sajaad, static noise most likely from the head unit itself (if it is not bose, and from the amp if it is bose) due to ageing electrolityc capacitors. Might be useful to repair the unit or swap
bonjour; how do you unplug the coils please; there seems no resistance on yours...I fixed it ( broke one) I had to pull a bit on the moving clip and pull at the same time on the plug; once you know it's ok...😄
Goodwood Green 😍
I need to replace my brake servo pipe with valve and it’s a discontinued part. Does anyone know of an alternative product to suit a 2003 TT Mk1 225 coupe Quattro? I’m really struggling to find one for some reason. Thanks 🙏
Great Video, But would also like to add, If you are a new owner and your first Oil Change Also try and change the Oil Pickup I recommend a kit from Cloud 9 customs
I agree, I have a video covering that aswel
Allright fella, great video, thanks! Don’t you change the fuel filter or is this every second service, or...?
The fuel filter I will be doing a separate video for, as it's got it's own challenges associated with it, but it's certainly not a yearly or even bi-yearly service item
Great Videos
Question do you have to disconnect the battery to do the plugs ?
Thank you
Nope, no reason to
What size sump washer is needed?
What are your feelings on the practice of cutting bloody great holes in the bottom of the air box to improve air input please?
Proven to increase flow. Theres a short answer and a long answer, the long answer i may do a dedicated video, but the short answer is that the increased flow is measurable, and puts less stress on the turbo, and gives slightly more power. Think about trying to drink a glass of water with a small straw. You can do it no problem. Then think about using a bigger straw- you find it even easier and quicker to drink the same volume of water
Great video mate but I haven't got the little plastic clip you take off from the left hand side of the pollen filter on my 2000 apx do you think it's missing or never came with it any advice appreciated 👍🏼😎
Probably just missing from someone doing the service previously
@@BWSTT thanks buddy ordered a proper low profile trolley jack to tackle a few jobs oil filer change haldex change new proram filter and catch can from Billy and the polen filter
Is it important having the little clip or just disregard it 👍🏼
Hi Bud,
I have a 1.8t quattro Bam engine 225, so far I have spent 3 or 4 cars worth on my Lilac affair lol, Suspension, brakes, Catch Can, recirculation valve, inlet pipe, coil packs, wheels, bearings, hoses etc and repairs, but now I have a low vibration coming from the back, and it feels strange too, so my question would be, would you have any idea what it could be without actually test driving it yourself first?
Warmest regards
👍👍👍
It could be the Haldex, get the Haldex oil changed?
Don’t do what with iridium or platinum plugs?
Great video mate, keep it up. I'm looking to get a 225, would you recommend it?
If you want to keep it stock then a 225 is the better option if you plan on big turbo the 180 is probably a better option as you can usually get a nicer one for less money. I would recommend getting one that has a built motor with better rods.
@@blackpgaming4428 Will i get more power out of the 225 with a big turbo? They all cost the same price where I'm at
@@TTechSpecs 180 and 225 are the same motor just a different turbo. 225 came standard with 6 speed awd. If going big turbo, either one will be fine as long as it's not fwd.
@@TTechSpecs the 225 6speed drivetrain is stronger than the 5speed fwd.
@@blackpgaming4428 interesting. There is really no other difference? So am I more or less limited to the 225? The bigger turbo and other add one won’t have either one getting up there?
@bws i just remapped my 225. do you advice change spark plugs to bkr7e with 0.7mm gap ? because with pfr6q i was hiting some knock at high rpm
Yep 100%
Hi Rui, really interesting. I also remapped my apx 225 TT and having the same issue. Having some knock although I use 98 ron petrol ; did not know that changing plugs may reduce knock. I installed pfr6q plugs as they were the recomended ones. But next time will try the other ones you suggest and Bryan aprobed. The gap must be exactly 0,7? Hope to reduce knock little bit .Thanks for your comment.
Mine is apx too. I use only 98. My ecu tuner changed the map a little bit to reduce the knock while using the oem spark plugs. For what I googled in general in a mapped 1.8T they use bkr7e with 0.7mm gap (copper spark plugs normal ones).I will change to bkr7e and after that I will tune a little bit more and see if the engine run well. the bkr7e its a step cooler than the pfr6q. dont forget the 0.7mm gap.
Rui Almeida ,thanks you for the information. I should change them and see if I reduce knock.
How is the IDC (injection duty clycle) in your tt? I made several logs using me7logger and in my apx idc reaches 91-92% at hight rpm. Injectors are almost in the limit. Would be great to know if in your apx is similar. I changed fuel pump and installed oversized dw65 fuel pump but sill have those high values 🤔; maybe it is because apx does not have egt sensor and because of that goes rich at high rpm.
@@topmendia I dont know that kind of information because i have very low knowledge about ecu tune. But, i think its not bad if it runs rich at high rpm, otherwise, it will be bad if the engine runs lean and cause temps rise in the chamber. Rich mixture its safer than lean, and maximum power its achieved around 12 and 13 afr. Maybe try speaking with other tuners to see what kind of numbers they have. The engine is strong but be carefull
Need an action camera with a trap, this would make things easier for you y man, thanks for the video!
You got a video for replacing the turbo on a 225 Quattro mk1
Yep, have a look in the how to guides section
Where exactly do you place the jack stand? Couldn’t see it clearly in the video.
Thanks!

@@BWSTT Thank You!
I;d love to see a video how to clean the drainage holes. Can't find any info on this :/
Im getting a roadster soon, so videos will be here in due course
More important is the oil spec which is VW 504/507, oils with this spec come only in 0w-30 or 5w-30.
The 502/505 5w40 is also suitable - of course it depends on the intended use of the car, some people need to use 10w50 or higher
👍👍👍👍
Is an engine flush not recommended for TT?
I've done it , increased my performance drastically mainly cause of all the small pieces of plastic floating around cause the previous owner was a yobbo. Also replace oil filters and sensor if needed.
What about a vid on doing the oil pick up pipe ????????
I have done one, just scroll to the bottom of my video list
Changed my plugs now I have misfire ONLY on full turbo boost
Always find the oil filter is the worse part of that job, Lots of brownie points for doing that on a busy road, Personally worry about that just in case a driver gets distracted and you end up with your own car on top of you.
It was a relatively quiet road to be honest, I’ve definitely done worse on worse roads 😅
@@BWSTT Still brave mate
Part V8N0614517G can U help me to explain where part is located & how can I resolve fault
That’s the ABS pump- take it to a garage
replace the oil drain plug with a magnetized unit
nice vid but next time try a head strap for the camera so we can see some what you are doing
With a head cam you wouldn't have seen anything from underneath very well 🤷🏻♂️
Alright fella.. jus snapped up a 225 on an 02 plate. 104k. Don't know what's been done hopefully not me. Clutch Master cylinder failed as I was driving home. Need it looking over. What sort of cost are we talking for a top to bottom??? I'm in bucks.
Send me an email bud
@@kennethconnett6607 I think Bryn means you email him 😉👍
Fuel filter?
Deserves its own video to explain to potential pitfalls with the job, which i will be doing soon
Is any one going to talk about that giant spider by the air filter
What does mk1 mean?
It means first generation
Use jackstands
You mean like i already show in the video?
Brutal...🤔😥😥
In what way?
Where abouts you located?
