I’d say that engine has low oil pressure issues spinning a shell killing a turbo 2 early signs of catastrophic engine failure

Great content fair play mate... 👍👍

Great content 👌

They can be made to beat LAMBOS Chris slix had a x3 that beat LAMBOS and r8s

What is the paint set up you’re using please? I saw the gun on a previous comment. Air supply etc? Cheers, a really enjoyable video. Loved the use of the ladder/lever technique 👏🏻😜

Just came across your channel Alex, Your going to be very successful with your channel bud, I can see that alot of your videos are very informative and I for 1 really enjoy them, I believe I can learn alot from your channel, well done bud keep em coming, I have the BNW218D F23 Convertible, maybe in time you could overhaul mine lol, thanks pal Subscribed. 👍.

Fair play to you buddy👍 loving the content.

Did you clean the fludge in de engine?

Too much oil in car

Can’t believe that’s the same car from when you started it. It’s Went from a proper well used s3 to looking like an immaculately kept like new. Loved the full build and some challenges you faced. Only thing I didn’t like was the green round the fogs but still well in.

It just amazes me how manufacturers can just come up with bullshit that a vehicle doesn’t need servicing for 30 thousand miles or 3 years so it gets them out of having to service a vehicle, the oil gets diluted, engine has more wear what a crooked world we live in now

Hi mate came across ur channel by accident and glad i did… quick question in the first video did u mention an airbag module?

You should’ve shown us how much it smoked mate.

Still before that fire well in with the welding. Great job especially for a beginner tackling it. (Reason im commenting on most videos mate im sure it helps the videos/engagement).

The amount of skills youve got mate for this not being your job is great. Well in!

And another thing. Don’t run your fuel tank to empty, all the rubbish is at the bottom of the tank

Avoid all these problems, or most of them, change the oil regularly using the correct oil. Simples.

The best way I found in this situation is to do a night time drive , saves the embarrassment

Where you a spray painter mate? Your brilliantly confident with painting That front bumpers off a Jetta mate weirdly they had similar on the R32 Golf but shared it with a Jetta god knows why Those rear vents are for when you close the door so the air doesn’t get trapped the Golfs , Focus & C1/107/108 are always badly affected with them leaking in water. Also when you do head lights mate stick a layer of ceramic coating or 2k clear coat over to protect it a little Enjoying this series literally watching video after video

Another brilliant video Alex 👍🏼 keep them coming. 😎

Looks slick that pal

I cant believe this is not your day job. How did you learn the bodywork and paint skills? How much did it go for?

I would take the pre dpf 02 sensor off and put a bottle of dpf cleaner through it it should be fine mate

Love this channel, good northern humour mixed in!😂👍

Hi. Have a great new year! Thanks for sharing with us. Can i ask you if this is a B47 engine? The tool you used the engine oil senzor is a blower,i never seen one.Thanks

Nice one but I couldn't understand why you didn't do the turbo on the first round, let's face it you knew it was knackered from the outset. Okay you probably needed to get a cartridge but you could have saved yourself the bother of re and dis-assembly. Cleaning the exhaust especially the DPF is definitely a great idea. Once it's done, it's done.

Your like a real life Mat Armstrong bud 😂 no fancy editing, show the full fix etc Much prefer this pure honesty and you seem knowledgeable. Well in

All these problems because someone cant be bothered to change the oil, the cloud of smoke may be to do with more of that sludge moving now everything is turning properly

The cable seized due to the bonnet never being opened.🤣

Really enjoying these videos. Well done mate good to see someone just getting stuck in & working hard

Try adding dipatane to your diesel to keep dpf and injectors clean

Useful video.

It’s normal 😂for me was same with smoke I drive maybe 5 miles and gone smoke but before I was taken off exaust till dpf and washed with water and fairy for probably it’s good because mot still valid imagine for me was that problem when no mot😅

On my Bmw turbo have pins don’t need marks mate maybe yours different but I don’t think so

I did my self cartridge change for 430d on driveway without proper tools nightmare to change cartridge but managed and no smoke at all good luck.

Cange your oil at half the manufacturer intervals I went to buy a BMW and was told it's 3 years or 30000 miles it's cheaper for the first owner no service costs owner 4 gets all the bad luck

I had same issue most likely oil inlet pipe blocked as well to turbo,and very likely in turbo blocked as well and you will ending with changing turbo or cartridge turbo.

Brilliant video, refreshing to see quality content being shared on KZbin. Makes a change from the click bait nonsense you see on so many other channels.

I love your face ❤❤

Check the injector seals arent passing, that would be causing the carbon build up in engine its not uncommon. Also take it down the motorway and just get the exhaust up to temp and give it a good run, it will clear in less than 2 minutes, done it many of times. its the quickest and easiest way. youll be there all week trying to clean everything.

Alex, I had a quick look at your garden buildings website, wow, some lovely stuff on there. You should start a second channel describing some of those builds. Cheers

There's a proper product for desludging these kind of heavily sludged engines, look up BG Dynamic Engine Cleaner. There's a video as well titled "DESLUDGING My Dodge Dart Engine From Totaled To CLEAN".

What was the material in the oil return pipe was it just oil ? These engines can take the entire auxiliary belt in through the front crankshaft pulley and you can’t even tell because the front seal just returns to normal it then gets mashed up and distributed round the engine I’m not certain what year it happens on because they modified the pulley to stop this happening,I know you’ve had the sump off did you find anything that looks like belt sorry don’t want to worry you😅I liked the turbo rebuild most people are frightened of them,on a closing note take the car out and give it some pasty for an hour or two see what happens 😂

Did you remove the intercooler and wash it out with petrol or brake cleaner? Try that, and clean the exhaust system like you said. It might be worth getting a bottle of launch DPF cleaner and running that through it .

I would like to have your patience

Great content, always learn somthing new from you. Be interesting to see what comes out of the remaining exhaust/intercooler clean. EGR will likely be clogged, given the neglected condition. Look forward to next vid. How much was the cartridge? From bmw?

Mine was same after turbo blew use scanner and do a dpf regen in your driveway do it twice to burn all the oil out exhaust dpf will be full 👍

Hey man. Really enjoying this build very fascinating seeing everything unfold as you go. 🇿🇦🔥

Watched lots of BMW videos , never seen a turbo stripped and rebuilt, thanks for that, I’m enjoying your videos, you have a good depth of mechanical knowledge for a garden room builder!
