#Audi

Yet again working on the wife's Audi A3 Cabriolet after an altercation with a Deer last year...finally found a new grille and doing a little paint correction in the process.

[@stevecray8282]

@@AdeReeves Just doing a complete engine change on my a3 tdi and these vids come in very handy. I'll trawl through your vids to see if you have any further handy gems for me to use. 😁👌🏻

[@iamyourfuture808]

Good job! good to see you avoid using the sills as a jacking point ... but what are you using? the wishbone mount?

[@AdeReeves]

On this car yes...On the S3 it has the proper jack bungs but I still use the wishbone most , but its a bit lower than the A3 and a little more tricky to get under..

[@joshsmith6453]

How did you get to those T25s on the wheel well !? I can’t get anything in there . Please help

[@AdeReeves]

To be honest i didn't find any real issues...On my S3 i do have to take the wheels off as its on coil overs. What problem did you find Josh ?

[@collinjones20]

The guilt trip worked, I subscribed. As far as content. Please add how long each job takes.

[@AdeReeves]

A lot longer than the video runs... and probably about the same time as editing the dam things 😄..cheers Ade...

[@dennisgreenwood867]

Hi, great video helped me decide to change my grill after a slight bump.I have sourced a grill (8P7 2011 A3 Cab) and to be honest i dont see a lot of clips on it ,i see plenty of screws attaching the grill ,i am trying to get as much info as possible before i remove and replace .....Or are there clips after you take the screw out..

[@AdeReeves]

Hi ..the screws hold the grill on , but yes there are also some clips around the grille itself ...you have to get a flat blade screwdriver and give them a little push in and they they release no problem ...it will be obvious to you once you have the bumper off and you can get to the back of it .. Chees Ade.

[@dennisgreenwood867]

@@AdeReeves Thanks for the quick reply

[@gabriellemcgowan6427]

How did you remove the middle t piece the one you mentioned you had bother with?

[@AdeReeves]

I managed to get some grips on it and force it with what little power my old arms could muster 😄

[@NikosKatsikanis]

what year is the model?

[@AdeReeves]

2009 Nikos... face lift with the slightly different grill / lights.

[@NikosKatsikanis]

how much was the grill?

[@AdeReeves]

As I recall about £70 from eBay ...used obviously 😄

[@morrismayko3832]

you can sell that old grill for £50 0n ebay. thats the asking price. even if its broke everyones doing it. i ended buying a brand new one for£130 it was a honeycombe one. ps your video was perfect. except for the nsr wheel choke. to stop the car rolling back. you had it infront of the wheel not the back of the back wheel lol

[@AdeReeves]

the drive slopes towards the garage , But I know that does not show up on the videos...

[@FutureBanger]

Nice. A tip for the video: Ditch the intro and increase the quality to atleast 720p

[@AdeReeves]

You seem to be mistaking me for a serious utuber ... Its a bit of fun and please treat it as so...

[@RONALDJOLIVIER]

I like the content keep up the good work.

[@AdeReeves]

Thanks, will do!

[@psycho3344]

That's a great way to destroy x2 jacks

[@AdeReeves]

No jacks where harmed in the making of this video...

[@Carlst17]

As you know pal I enjoy your vids just the rawness and nothing ott

[@AdeReeves]

Thanks ...I'm not big on padding and waffle ...but sometimes also have to remind myself to shut up and get on with it...no one wants a one hour video 😂

[@asrasuleman6691]

How long you took to change it?

[@AdeReeves]

To be honest it really is an half hour job 😃

[@Ryan-id7jk]

how long did this take you mate?

[@AdeReeves]

If i hadn't resprayed it removal and refit in less than an hour easy ...but with the paint correction a day

[@accelerate3538]

Is this the same process as on the s3 8p? TIA

[@AdeReeves]

Yeah exactly the same setup as when I have taken my S3 bumper off...

[@accelerate3538]

Ideal. Thank you for the quick reply. Going to plasti dip my pfl grille and crash bar black so this helps me a lot.

[@AdeReeves]

@@accelerate3538 be interesting to see the finished job...never tried plastidip myself but i know people who have had good results with it.

[@accelerate3538]

Its meant to be more hard wearing so makes sense for the grille I think with stone chips. Just added you on Instagram so you can see the results when I get round to it, got many parts to fit first.

[@warwickormand169]

Hello Ade, where do you Jack up on? Can you show us a bit closer in another video??

[@AdeReeves]

Hi Warwick... The best place i "Personally" find is the bottom wish bone connection to the chassis...My S3 has designated jacking points just in front of the front doors as do some other Audi's, but they are not always a standard option ...Next time i jack either car up ill try to capture it ...Hope this helps.

[@NikosKatsikanis]

why replace it, looks kinda fine

[@AdeReeves]

From a distance maybe...but the chrome surround had been glued in many places and some of the plastic slats where missing...

[@NikosKatsikanis]

Ade Reeves I see

[@jc-unknowned6438]

Can we get a dog walking video

[@AdeReeves]

Sure Can Jakub... Maybe it's something you can tag along with us on sometime ...

[@jc-unknowned6438]

@@AdeReeves sure that would be awesome

[@LynxEng]

I'm one of the 96% of the people that isn't going to subscribe. I only came to watch a couple of Audi videos and nothing else you do is of interest to me. Not being harsh but just responding to your comment about subs. I think you'd get more subs if your channel was just about one thing maybe? You do a good job on the camera though but I'm just not interested in RC helicopters, bikes or your life. Maybe others that come here are interested in bikes but not Audis or your garden. Gave this vid a like though

[@AdeReeves]

Well glad the couple of video's kept you occupied for a small time :)
