ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH MY AUDI S5

I bought some 20" Alloys for my Cheap Audi S5 V8. They were kerbed, dented & buckled. So i took them to Alloy Fix in Romford! On the way back we ran into a coolant problem which caused overheating on the S5

how much does it cost? 4 wheels refurb

@@wilkinsonyachtbrokerUK you shouldn't pay more than £250+vat so £300 most places will most likely do ot for £50-£60 cash per wheel

Mat Armstrong Mate you smashed it with these alloys

[@jackmillin]

Those alloys look really smart, it's like an OEM+ look, I thought you was going for gloss black at first and I was like nooooo. Don't stop the how to videos they were the most interesting and helpful 👍👍😁 good editing on the video as well I wouldn't have a clue how to do that. Looking forward to the next upload, cheers 👍 Jack.

[@vladmares8128]

I was thinking literally the same! The silver accents (wheels included) really look good on an S/RS model, maybe leave black for BMW M :)

[@alloyfixltd]

Once again excellent video Mat. It was an absolute pleasure having you down here. Just wanted to mention anybody coming to us from Mats’s channel please make us aware so we can apply the discount.

ALLOY FIX LTD Hi guys what colour is that cheers.

[@ummerkhan1982]

Alloys looks amazing! Alloy Fix in Romford is the only place I'd recommend to get your alloys fixed, refurbished and custom coloured. The guys are so professional and go above and beyond. I had a great experience with them too. Good luck Mat with the rest of the S5...cant wait to see more videos of it.

[@sauterelle]

Very high production values and excellent camera work, and your passion and enthusiasm for cars is contagious. You deserve more subs!

[@RightOnBud]

Happy to find this channel before it blows up. 250K subs during 2020 shouldn't be a problem, especially not if you decide to boost this thing at some point. People tend to love the potential of turning a cheap/broken car into a monster. To companies watching: sponsor this fella early.

The cap thing has happened to all my audis, keep an eye on the reservoir they tend to crack and split open. In fact the reservoir on my 05 a6 4.2 is going bad now that I mention it, one of the return ports has broken off. Had to make a quick repair to get it home, should be here in a couple of days. Like I said, its very common so used to it. Luckily it's a cheap fix. Thanx for the video

You should probably bleed the coolant system to make sure there are no air pockets for potential issues with overheating in the future, doesn't take long and it could potentially prevent massive damage like warping the head , keep up the god videos tho mate, really enjoy watching!

One suggestion. You should do a head and tail lights facelift. Also make sure you put dynamic indicators when doing that.

I would take that coolant box out, give it a good internal clean and flush system with a garden hose to remove the corroded debris from the cooling system. Invest in a decent coolant and check the level after 200 miles, if it's reduced go for a compression test.

Love the channel mate 👍 Audi use to be my go to car but my last one blew up on me I had a s3 64 plate full service main dealership history ,one previous owner. Got it at 30.000 miles had it for over a year and put just under another 10.000 on it Took it to Audi for a £600+ service and 800 miles later my engine blew up on the m25 Oil uptake pipe broke starving my big end of oil ..... something like that , not very good with engines . £3000 for engine rebuild and sold as quick as I could , I love em but I'd never own another again , keep up the vids mate they are great

[@TrustedKicks]

Thats the only problem with buying cars like that second hand. You know it was probably ragged around for most of those miles before you bought it. However, I bought a second hand A3 2.0 Tdi with 40k on the clock, i sold it on 125k miles and even with a remap, exhaust, lowered and a hybrid turbo i never had any problems. I probably could have changed the flywheel towards the end but thats about it.
