- The cheap Audi S5 V8 story continues. First i had to install the new 20" alloys but they definitely need some work! I then found out i bought fake NGK spark plugs, to top that we get full pictures of the cars damage.

Mat you are so honest. And that’s what makes your channel so good!! I am fixing up my own s5 now.. and having so many problems. Always look forward to your vids 👍🏻
Mat also we need more vids more often. Buy more cars pls 😉👍🏻
"Mileage is just a number" (camera zoom)😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Like the wheels mate 👌 just need to enhance the stance... less altitude more attitude 🤙
WOOOOOOOOO
I've literally just bought an A5 B8 2.0 Turbo so really enjoying watching the project develop and discovering the "mystery history" behind your S5. Mine was never a write off but I keep finding little things here and there that raise questions or suspicions. As for your wheels, nothing wrong with going budget in my opinion, they naturally suit the car and a set of 20 inchers with tyres for £400... mate you're laughing. looking forward to the next video
UK used car market is a dream for someone like you! We get these old S5s for at least 12K. But carry on, it's a briliant series. Will buy S5 too one day so I know how to fix things :-)
In Finland cheapest S5 is 22k eur :'(
Same. Can't wait
Export one probably will be cheaper on price in the end
Nene WealAreCarFans se taky kouká ahojky 😁
oli3 I know where I’m going to sell an S5 now for profit
Bro, you don’t need to worry about your videos being to ’talkative’ I actually find everything you say very useful and informative. And I’m learning quite a bit to 😅! Keep up the great content 💪🏾
These S5 videos have blown up your channel! Well done carry on and keep it up! Loving the videos. When you bought the S5 that’s how I found out about you. I subbed when you bought it 👍
Only found your channel because the series popped up as a suggested. But honestly loving it so far, keep it up man!
Loving the series so far‼️‼️🙌🙌 car looks sick already 👍
Love this series. Springs and spacers on my 09 S5 really make it stand apart from anything else - so I'm looking forward to seeing these mods on yours. Cheers!
Finally was waiting for this
Considering I paid £8k for a 2012 A5 3.0 tdi Quattro that had been in a crash! I don’t think you got ripped off! Car looks sweet, looking forward to the next vid. Subscribed!
Perfect Timing i just found finished watching your last video and you uploaded a new one
Great video Mat..very interesting to hear the history of the car and your theory sounds logical ... Keep them coming.. loving every single one
Recently found this channel. I'm down with this straightforward delivery. Look forward to your continual trial and tribulations with this S5 👍
Just bought my S5 last week from Scotland, glad I bumped into your channel!
Yo man loving the series! We seem to have very similar opinions on cars lol, you're the first channel I've ever turned notifications on for keep up the good work!
Bro, don't care about the comments. You should be proud of what you have and what you can get. The alloys look pretty nice! Few curbs ain't nothing. And as for the tires, who cares? We know it's just for you to be able to drive the car at least. Then they will be changed eventually. You're one of the few UK channels that actually do proper stuff with cars!
Nice to see you being transparent about it all 👍 wheels look great. Gives it an OEM+ look. Keep up the good work mate!
All adds to the story!! Wicked mate. Keep it up. You are my new fave channel. Excellent and honest! Love the story and the work you are doing. Excellent.
Put some love back into this machine. Wheels are just right and yes space them and lower a tiny bit but keep it nice and oem
Really like these videos and the fact your being honest about the car is good to see and hear dude unlike other CZcamsrs.....
only just happened upon this channel- absolutely first-rate work - you are a natural!
Another great vid!! Keep the hard work up bud your channel will be huge!
'Mileage is just a number'... What a great line!! So true if looked after.
Love your honesty mate, good on ya and keep it coming!
Great channel. I’m not really into cars, but enjoy watching your videos as they are informative, interesting and entertaining. You seem a good lad also.
Enjoyed the vids, they've been educational! Keep doing what you enjoy. 👍
Easy Matt. Good to see back, keep up the good work. S5 is coming on, wheels looking sound.
Hey Mat, loving the S5 Vid's, recently bought a 2011 myself. I fitted the Eibach sport springs and the car is now a great ride height and still comfy. Personally when putting tyres on it I would fit Uniroyal Rainsport 3, fantastic tyre made by Continental for a fraction of the price, just my tuppence worth, keep up the good work !!!
Great video - very interesting - looking forward to the next episodes - Happy New Year to you! 👍👌
im looking for new wheels for my s5 aswell, these look hella good. Might go for these!
I love watching these videos of yours as i too have a 2013 audi s5. Gonna do the brake swap as well at some point in time.
Love the new wheels Mat, they suit the car a lot better than the previous set. Keep up the good videos bro 🤟🏼 looking forward to the next one.
I believe it is possible to check the actual mileage using diagnostic software like VCDS/VAGCOM. The car CPU stores the car's mileage independently from the odometer. Very handy for checking if these cars have been clocked. Thankfully, my S5 showed a difference of just a few 10s of miles between the odometer and the CPU's mileage readings and there are factors which could see a small discrepancy of that size.
Great choice of alloys chap, sometimes the standard ones look better. I've had cars with 100,000 to 200,000 miles on and still pulled well, cracking car , can tell it impresses you,sounds amazing. Look forward to the next vids.
Looking forward to seeing you lowering the S5. Hoping to lower my A6 and I would think process very similar. Be good to see you go through it first. Keep up the good work. Great channel. 👍
Lovely. I own a 2012 S5 special edition, glad to see this video! Great job!
Mate you are putting out better content than any other car CZcamsr nowadays.
I literally stumbled on this channel, you are the typical car guy who does most stuff himself and in most instances with primitive tools. Fairplay to you.
Liking the Stock look, great videos Mat keep them coming!
class wheels love the fact you kept them oem type as they usually always look better on VAG cars
Excellent vid as always keep em coming.
Love to see it. Keep it coming
Excellent video yet again Mat. The wheels are spot on and everything seems quite an easy fix. The way I see it mate ,you got alot of car for the money.👍
Your channel has really blown up since the start of this series, congrats man keep it up! 👍
Went on a mad one ahha thanks you bro 🙌
Nice upgrade:-)) mine was clocked too 🤬🤬
Haircut geeza
Dude you're smashing these videos out! Questions about the 1 series, does the Carly device let you view the engine temp? Feels weird not knowing my engines temp, and apparently it's a hidden feature
New subscriber, binge watched and loving the series. 100k plus miles is nothing on a well maintained car. My second car, integra type r, ive racked up 120,000 miles to a crazy 189,000 miles. Still running nicely 👍🏼
i love your positive vibes. Keep it up
I had those tires on a 530d E60, and to be honest, they are not as bad as they seem honestly. And yes, underrated channel, keep it up!
Great progress buddy.The interior looks nice and it sounds epic 💥💨
I love to follow your projects Mat. Thank you
Dude i'm LOVING ur channel!!! Gonna buy an r8 aswell... currently in the process hunting one ... happy days
New to the channel, and enjoying wot your doing to the s5. Keep it up 👍🏼
Another top video Matt. Smashed it! Cheers 👍
That's a good bit of research to find out the damage and mileage. If you use VCDS you'll be able to go into the modules and find the correct mileage and when the front air bag was set off as well, you can get dodgy copies of VCDS off eBay for about £30 and enable loads of extra bits on that S5. Good upload again, cheers 👍 Jack
Really enjoying your videos mat, lots of energy and a good approach to making the best of some ropey cars making them decent. Brave taking on the s6 , what kind¢b mpg and performance are you going getting 350 bhp? Eagerly awaiting next video. reagrds George q,
Can't believe how many views this series is bringing to your channel. Keep it up!
Really enjoying these vids!
Loving this content mate. Good job.
You’re a beast for even buying the S5. Love from the USA!!
I actually love this guys videos
New to the channel man great shit! Gave me motivation to service my 320d e90! Started watching last week
Another refreshingly good and honest video. Thumbs up, as always. Luv it!
Getting there with the car Mat😎 wheels look bob on too. Some spacers and lowering springs will sort the stance out😁 great channel btw
Most enjoyable keep them coming.
Got the same wheels on my B8 A5, 20mm spacers on the rear makes them fit nicely. Awesome wheels but a right pain to keep clean 😂
Bought the USA dash cam! Thanks for this, been looking for it :) have a 2012 audi s5 4.2
Was thinking about buying one of these, thanks for the tips.
Those are my favorite OEM Wheels. Good form my man!
Id be checking to see if all my VIN numbers match... and never talking about it again ;) LOVE THE CHANNEL! Great content Mat
Keep the content coming great viewing 👌🏻
When you change the suspension arms you need to get a full alignment done. Then it will run sweeeeet.
Nice job so far. 🤛
So glad I came across your channel ! I'm from Ontario Canada the s5 has been a dream car of mine for years cant wait to pick one up . But unfortunately here in Canada a good one 2012 goes for 20 grand and up aha
Nice work man! Labor and detective 🤘🤘
I have the exact same car with the exact same colour in my garage. I am really hyped for the following videos
Trust me you’ve got some good skills and good presenting lad. Go on lad
Regardless of the Cat s & the dodgy mileage, (lets be honest most are clocked these days) it's defo a great deal! Can't go wrong with the Le Mans they look great but just needs lowering slightly & spacing out. I've got a set of Stance+ coilovers on my A5 & they are great quality & comfortable ride for the money. Loving your channel by the way!
Can't help but think by the time your finished the spend required to make it right you will be half way to a real rs5 and 2 or 3 years younger which is a different animal. The wheels are RS4 B7/ Lemans, very good choice. 👍
Subscribed👍. I've got the same year and color A5 s-line so these videos help me out😊. Keep it up. Cheers from Canada 🤙
You're doing good buddy looks brilliant. this year will be a better year for you and don't pass heat of any of the haters jealous is a bad thing keep up the good work
like your vids Mat always positive and interesting 🙂🤘
Quality video again. I think the focus ST next door needs their alloys refurbing as well😂 be careful with the Audi V8, at around 100,000-120,000 the pulleys wear out and that’s not a fun job. Keep up the good work though bud.
I’m an OEM kind of guy, I like the wheels! I would like to think you’ve rescued the car and it’s now gone to a loving home.....
Looking tasty mate. These A5's seem to be an easy victim of clocking, seen a few of them at auction with MOT warnings.
Can you find out the true mileage through checking the ECU?
Good that you look at the car with open eyes! A car like that, it doesn't matter if it's 90 000 or 120 000, I gave away my A6 2.5 TDI to my sister at 430 000 miles, still running good.
The first thing I do when buying a used car is check the mileages on the MOT cert. it never ceases to amaze me just how many cars are clocked. Not just the expensive stuff either. Lots of £1000 cars clocked. Always check the mileages recorded on the MOT before buying ! If there is a discrepancy walk away!
Good choice of wheels mate 👍 look good in silver as match the wing mirrors, look good in any colour tbh
Keep doing what your doing its great 👍
"milage is just a number" he said...
engine: oh me break down in few miles, fella
Great stuff with some nice honest content
You can still plug It in and see the true mileage. 👍
No you can't
You’ve made me start looking for an Audi A5 Quattro... hate my 320i E92 now 😂
Got a silver S5 V8 myself. Man i love this car so much. Its actually my very first car and i gonna keep it for a looong time :D Someday these big naturally aspirated Engines will be dead. Glad i bought this car
I also have an S5 and I have the same wheel you had before the change. I love them, as for the clarence issue, id have spaced them out and stuck with the originals, but thats just me, the Rs wheels are no way as nice looking lol great vids though mate :)
As a cat car little bit of clocking shouldn't worry you bro as your doing it for a project if you had spent tens of thousands then I'd be pretty pissed lol. Great content!
New to the Chanel. Top videos✌️
I got eibach pro kit lowering springs really good if you want to keep youre comfort, some 20mm spacers aswell
Keep it going Matt!! On a personal note......RIP the TT
