You guys are actually doing the car industry a great service, making sure these basket cases don’t end up in the hands of other unsuspecting hopefuls.
no sane hopeful sees a €3500 audi v10 and thinks "that's the one"
I mean take it on but its not a cheap rebuild and I mean rebuild be prepared to sink about 20,000k on it. Which tbh is a 25k pound car so yeah go for it still "cheap" lol and will kick the ass of any other 25k new car both in looks and performance lol
@@richmondvand147 for me, something with this kinda dodgy provenance wouldn't be worth spending that kind of money putting it back to standard... probably more fun to go for a widebody conversion, track build, slam it on airbags, all that fun stuff you wouldn't want to 'ruin' a minter with. Might even be quite fun to do a Rocket Bunny/Liberty Walk style thing with it.
I was lookiing at an older S8 as my second car... dodged that bullet hahaha i ended up with a Datsun 1200 ute
@@richmondvand147endless bill. Hifh performance high maintanace.not to mention fuel bill.. even if i was a millionaire i wouldnt wanna run one these daily
Ricky seems like a great bloke! Good sense of humor, quick witted and very knowledgeable
Thank you!!
great on camera too!
Rapid on a bike too
@@RDYmotoI do try lol
😂😂😂😂
You know it’s a fdddking good day when the legendary auto Alex and car throttle up load the same day. Doing a fantastic job Jack Ethan and Edwin keep at it.
Nobody here gives a fuck about autoalex he was an overhyped bellend.
What I liked is both channels found out they have full f**k cars as well. 😂😂
Plus DriveTribe and Doug Demuro!
Auto Alex is childish,. The annoying fake excited noises does my head in. Car Throttle is much better.
@@cameronbennett-ferland4361Number 27 is the Bristish sane version of Doug :)
Ricky is funny - you should visit him with another mess in the future!
Thanks Darren!! I do try! lol
first a solid 35 mins of autoalex goodness and now some 17 minutes of V10 car throttlery. beautiful!
Just finished Alex's video myself. 👍
And an ashville video an hour ago
I finished myself to Alex’s video too
Alex was the guy who maked car throlle good.
@@benhadden7038it's like we all watch the same videos 🤣 literally exactly the same order I watched them too
Ricky is hilarious, love his humour 😂
Thank you!!
Bloody hell lads, you should honestly keep that Ricky dude on as a regular host on your channel! Lovely chemistry, keep it up!!
I love your idea!! We love messing about with cars!!
I second that.
Thirded!
You could fix it a bit, strip it out and race "overdrive" against their Subaru wagon. You'll probably need the extra cylinders and power to beat them. That's what I'd like to see more of, challenging other youtubers.
I was tempted to buy an S6 with the V10, after watching this I'm definitely glad I didn't! 😅
I had one absolute money pit cost me a fortune and lost a shit load of money in depreciation
even with well maintained at that age these are a ticking time bomb for $$$$
@@mikemitch1041 Sold mine with 313.000 km (bought with 120.000). But it had the 2nd engine and i always maintained it (Whole intake manifold new, new throttle bodies, new hoses and pipes for everything, new coils, new pumps (Servotronic,fuel etc.) new plugs pretty much new everything except for the block, injectors itself.
Dang that guy KNOWS his shit. Do not mess with him haha 👌🏼👌🏼
Thanks Toby!
I learned this lesson the hard way a few months ago. I thought I was being clever buying a bmw f11 520d m sport automatic for £3,500 when they usually go for about £5k-£6k for the year I bought.
Everything seemed fine mechanically, it was just cosmetics that needed work. Or so I thought.
2 days of ownership and i had a low coolant message pop up on the dash. Checked the coolant and found oil in it (which wasn’t there when I bought the car)
Took it to my mates garage. They tested the HG which was fine so they set about getting the oil cooler off to check the gaskets on that. In the process they discovered the swirl flaps were hanging on by the skin of their teeth. So they got deleted. Then they found the oil filter housing was falling apart so that needed to be replaced. They put it all back together with the new parts. Remapped it to tell the ecu the swirl flaps weren’t there anymore and gave it back to me. 2 days later I had a transition fault displayed on the dash. Took it back to the garage. They told me that the cooler for the gearbox was on the other side of the one for the engine. And maybe coolant had got into the gearbox too. They checked that and everything seemed to be fine. They changed the gearbox oil and filter and handed the car back.
A few days later I lost drive completely while at a junction. Got the car recovered to the garage where they diagnosed an EGR issue. So that got changed which solved the problem with the transmission warnings somehow.
A few days later I started the car outside my house and as soon as it started something went bang and all the warning lights came on!
The crank pulley had snapped and taken the water pump and thermostat housing out with it.
So back to the garage it went again for more new parts. I had it back and a few days later the head lights decided they only wanted to work some of the time.
So I sold the car because I couldn’t afford to fix it anymore.
In the end including buying the car I had spent £7800!! In the space of about 6-8 days!
If I’d just bought a £6k car I’d probably have been alright. It’s false economy to buy the cheapest version of a car. They’re cheap for a reason and you’ll probably end up paying well over the odds in the end. Just buy the best you can for the money you have
Feel bad for You mate. You can buy car much cheaper but only if you really know what you are doing and good deals are more like once a year deals not on everyday basis. I'm from Poland and one year ago I bought car worth around £10-12k on average for £5k due to "broken transmission" issue when actually it was just EGR issue and on extra some oil leak, brakes to do and oil service. I did it myself and paid about £300-400 for parts and fluids, if I gave it to the workshop it would be about £800-1000 so still a good deal. Also did many extra things like cleaning the intake, add intercoller from biturbo version, remap it from 150 to 220hp, add some extra features but I don't count that because it was above necessary. But I knew in this particular case (engine + trans combo) it's some complex connections between PCM and TCM which many egr, injectors, turbo or intake flap failure can cause transmission safe mode and many transmission codes, evem make trans stop working unless other issue are fixed. Anyway I took some risk that 90% it's not a transmission but for 10% it could actually be transmission (so if that I'd have to pay £4-5k for replace it so the deal is gone however I'd not lost on it anyway just no profit). I drove like 20k kilometers since that and no major issues, I had to replace one sensor by this time only.
It's only worth it if you have a garage set up with the tools for that model and the know-how to do everything yourself..
..and maybe a sponsorship :D
@@oluskloc the car I bought seemed absolutely fine when I went to see it. Oil level was correct and had fresh oil and coolant looked fresh too.
On reflection I think what happened was they guy probably flushed the collant and oil systems through to hide the issue and then filled with fresh fluids before I came to view it.
It was as described so I bought it. But I think a lot of stuff was hidden or lied about. I was told the swirl flaps had already been removed and I was shown the receipt for the kit bought from darkside developments. Along with a load of other invoices for stuff. But I think maybe the parts had been fitted to the other f11 bmw he had 🤦♂️
It’s the luck of the draw unfortunately
@@sursomsatan1225 agreed. Or if it’s a simpler car 😅 like and e30 or similar that doesn’t have tonnes of electronics and sensors.
What a guy, telling it as it is a way the average Joe will understand 👍 an example to all garages
with all those issues, for 3 and a half grand thats still a steal
Is it? Repairs at £10k plus £3.5k? No thanks.
@@thejudge-kv2jk for 3.5k, you dont have to care about it and you get a v10, give it a quick clean before you are done with it and sell it for a similar price
@@DJRS9045 nah mate that thing is shit, its not even a v10 at this point if its constantly misfiring
@@rubenvanalphen2780 it comes and goes, you can have your fun with it for abit
@@thejudge-kv2jk Think about it differently. For 13.5k you basically get a luxury sports car that is nicer than brand new econoboxes that cost 3 times more. Also in good condition, it actually retains some resale value unlike more regular car. If you were more careful buyer, you could have found a almost decent condition variant for less (less than price + fixes), but even this is not horrendous. Also they most likely could save some money by doing some labour themselves. The only big problem is that it's a bet that engine could be fixed. It might be more damaged than expected and therefore might be more expensive to fix.
Ricky seems to be a super cool lad and a natural in front of the camera! We wanna see him again!
14:41 the oil drip 😂
Ricky is a great personality, he fitted into the chemistry you have. A man who loves his craft, is one you can trust.
Thank you!!
Worth it for the sound alone
Had one of these for several years. Hit a deer and totaled it with 157k miles on it. Original engine and trans. It still pulled like a train and ran great up until the day I hit the deer. I was gutted. One of the best cars I ever owned. Yes, it's not the most practical car. Yes, there are maintenance issues that can cost a small fortune. Yes, it gets 8-12 MPG most of the time unless you're babying it on the freeway in the slow lane. But if you want the thrill of a V10 with the nice advantages of it being a 4 door saloon, and don't mind spending for occasional maintenance, it's honestly the best thing out there. It's cheaper to buy and maintain than any M5 V10, It's Quattro so winter is a breeze, and it's not $100k like even the low end used Lambos...Love these things.
“Sounds like something we’d do”. Killer moment. I was thinking it just as you said it Jack 😂
A great challenge would be to part it out and see how much you can make back by selling off all the bits.
Agreed!
This is a dinosaur, it’s extinct in it’s form, never ever will there be an car like these. Maybe now it’s not worth it, but at the long run it is. I really would love to see it restored. Ricky really seems a cool guy! Really enjoyed watching! And c’mon the car has fight so hard to stay alive! It would really be sad to junk it!!! It really has a character with its past.
this would make a great track car after the MOT has expired
I did what you guys did about 3 years ago and i'm still fixing all it's issues, lovely car, hell of a ballbuster
More videos with Ricky please he is hilarious
Thank you!!
Great content guys, really intersting to see how the costs rack up so quickly!
Ricky is awesome in front of a camera
Thank you so much!!
Haha I really enjoyed watching this video! Great energy throughout the video, also with Ricky!
I've started saving for one of these I've been after a big car with a big engine to do family road trips in Europe watching this and all the videos on it has made my decision
I stopped watching car throttle a few years ago because I couldn't deal with Alex anymore, so I'm so happy that I found the channel again and gave it a go because these guys are so much more likeable and so entertaining to watch!!
Keep it up guys :)
What’s wrong with alex?
He's an absolute attention seeking loud mouthed bell-end.@@agy234
Always such a treat when a new CT video pops up.
German cars are great when they work but a nightmare when they start falling apart
Very Knowledgeable mechanic.
Am sure he got Got a call off mat Armstrong to direct him in the right direction. Top guys at this garage 👍🏼
Awesome guys! love your spirit when facing the bill beast that this is!
Brilliant video, lads. Jack and Edwin are a great duo!
Great video! The lads are back at it again
Just make a series trying to fix it, great video as always.
I’d love to see a build series on this. Maybe not as in depth as M539’s channel but just to give it a new lease of life.
Makes absolutely no financial sense but I love seeing a shitter with potential being turned around. Ordinary saloons with V10’s are thin on the ground as it is 🙏
The mechanic seems super cool and friendly guy, you must have him more often!
Having just brought my car to the shop because the brakes need fixing, you always go home thinking you bought a lemon.
Good thing Car Throttle is here to make sure I have regained confidence in my car
😁
Ricky is a natural. Great video again guys.
Thank you!!
A enthusiastic and friendly mechanic, a very rare beast.
2:00 thats the Mr. Bean mod with the wipers yo :) Good stuff
I would love for you guys to fix it but it’s not worth it
The vibe of car throttle is *chefs kiss
Ricky is truly a great guy on Car Throttle.
Well, if its going to be scrapped anyways, might as well strip out the interior, stick a cage in it, get the engine healthy ish and take it on a top speed run in the new year!!
get the parts and do a 1week stream how you fix it. its actually pretty fun, i did it also to my 4.2, its great to work on these engines.
that V10 sounds amazing
These recent videos have been hilarious!
Plz make it like the Octavia i think with some love it will be a beast
Top Job Chaps 🤘
RIP Car Throttle you will be missed
"The more and more you tell me about how you bought this car, the more and more I think you shouldn't be allowed to buy cars".
Ricky has summed up Car Throttle - the good, the bad and the ugly - in one perfect sentence. Brilliant.
Fare well, S6 V10. One suspects you've not got long left.
Whilst watching this video and Ricky’s costings for parts, it did make me think about the comments Auto Alex made in a recent vblog about the budgets and how hard it was to get money at CT towers, makes me think we won’t see this V10 beast again! A bit like Jack’s Saab that seemed to disappear when it was taken in for overhauling 😂
Have you just discovered turn ups jack? Your jeans,cargo pants,do u turn up your shorts too bud? Great videos though keep up the good work,you don’t need Auto Alex,you guys are nailing it.
In 1999 I was driving my ford fiesta xr2 to Cornwall when the wipers went kadunk. We did the exact same thing using washing line. Hilarious memory's
Great vid!
You need to grease the actuator on that glove box, mine was doing the same, ie opens but doesn't drop down , I kept pulling it down until one I snapped the bracket and had to buy another glove box complete.
Straight pipe and Debbie does dallas suits the s6 rather well😂 great stuff as always fellas!
100% getting standard version, looks amazing
I defffffinitely want to see where this goes. I did buy my Audi A8 3 years ago now... blindly like you guys did. Well, I did check the last 4 years history and saw some "good" maintenance, etc... but still got some issues. I'm still not completely out of the issues yet, but they are minor compared to what I saw here. I'd LOVE to see a A8 case if you get this one right, eventually.
To be fair, if you buy A8, it's almost an investment. It's just such a car that even in poor condition will be worth something because A8.
@@MJ-uk6lu I agree, that's my thoughts exactly. Despite I love it.
Check the compression on that cylinder even when replacing spark plugs, it was so easy and you will know everything is it a injector trouble or engine. Also can be engine wiring or ECU issue keep that in mind.
That feint voice is a actually saying ‘run away’.👋
Banger racing!!!!!!!!!
Now That’s What I Call Contents.
Looked at one of these yesterday! Beautiful car! Will give it a miss now😂😂😂😂
Lads odd question, but whats that green estate on the ramp, looks lovely with the big red brake kit, is it a skoda.?
Seems like a great garage tbf
I think you should fix it and send it round the ring 🤣
Quality of content went through the floor when alex left.
There's an R.E performance in Bury, greater manchester. I had my custom built bottom end for my TT 350Z fitted there.. I supplied full gasket set but they forgot to install the head gasket. Overheating galore but they assured me it was fitted lol. Anyway, i got nervous when you mentioned R.E Performance lol. PTSD.
Ricky is a funny fella, love it
Funniest Car Throttle I have ever seen. Nice work!
I would really love too drive one off them Audi R8 V10's the blue one up on the ramp behind you when you where talking about your car.
I really want to see all the repairs done. Have it as a project but an expensive one at that 😂
Cut it up into souvenir merch. I'll have something cool for the idea 💡 😂
How is this comments section full off car guys that have never heard of Rick or RE????? His channels amazing!!!!!
Just check whether the compression is good and if it is, take the engine out and fix the leaks. Still seems like a half decent beater. 😎
Actually these v10s suffer from bad compression caused by extreme dirt build up from the egr system.
You can get the intake valves to seal again by cleaning out every intake component with walnut blasting.
Including the intake runners in the head.
Some actually were able to clean the sealing surface of the valves with some brushes. But i honestly doubt thats gonna be easy !
Please name this car ‘Kane’. Given the powder you found in it, I like the idea that it’ll be named ‘Coke Kane’
Please restore this thing to its former glory.
This man knows his stuff. I’m stocked! 😮
That’s got banger race written all over it
PLEASE DO A VID ON 2003 VTEC HONDA CRV
I hope you guys upload tomorrow too 👌👀
One of these for sale in my area for 12k. I think it's safe to say I won't be going near that
Strip it and make it into a V10 off-roader ! lifting kit with that sound would be a legendary combo 😂
def come back to this guy if another sponsor is silly enough to give you v10 money! cool vid
Thank you!!
I think you should do a video on what the process it so scrap a car like this
REPerformance Bloke is absoloute class
Full restoration please
Well you can buy it knowing the journey will be rough nad take it as a project and expend more money until you get it nice and shiney.
Carly once picked me up from Oscars in Clapton on sea and took me home to Great Yarmouth. Ring me Carly. Miss you ❤
Holy cow, is that a Noble?
I've been tuning in and out of car throttle but ethan knows his shit now fair play!
From 'coke to coke' could be the title of the next video taking us through the dismantling and recycling industry.
Turn it into a track monster
The fact that this is the more reliable V10 compared to it's rival, the E60 M5.
3 for the engine? Felt sure he was going to say 2 😂
Part it out …… job done 👍😜💪
here is a great idea. take it banger racing. and or other races that dont look to closely at the cars health and rag it till the thing blows
