Audi TT Chassis restoration and engine bay tidy up

I take one of the cleanest TTs out there, and make it even cleaner!
This video focuses on the work me and Paul undertook on Super TTed to get the underside as clean as the body work. We also did a bit of work in the engine bay, tidying up parts, removing others, and changing the rocker cover (for the 5th time!!!)

One of the great things about owning cars in Australia is that we just do not get any corrosion underneath the car - none. After 19 years on the road and 150000 miles, every metal part underneath my TT is squeaky clean (and I removed the plastic undertrays years ago for ease of maintenance). But you always have to pay the piper somewhere..... Our interior plastics get hammered by UV and the hot baking sun. Some European car interiors just become a sticky, perished mess. My old Alfa 147, for example.

The support on this video has been amazing! I promise to keep the content coming, see you on the next one!

As usual brilliant work mate thanks 👊

POR-15 works really well doesn’t it, I was pleased with how mine came out. Nice work 👍🏻

Well done

Nice work!

Brilliant video....not jealous at all.....😉😉

That all looks very beautiful but the Haldex unit is cast aluminium, the bracket is cast aluminium, and the trailing arm is cast iron. Just change bushes when they fail, the subframe is super thick pressed steel. Only really the two pressed steel control arms need replacing when they're shot. Front sub frames different story! 😮 But the lower arms again are cast iron.

[@BWSTT]

I’ve seen rear subframes rot away, so worth keeping them protected too. I also don’t really see your point- when you see the level of detail in the rest of this show car, why wouldn’t he want the underside to be clean?

[@jamiewells688]

do you have part numbers for the bushings from the upper and lower control arms that are on the wheel side? I have the inner but if I'm taking them off i want to do both inner and outer.

[@michaelcommons1759]

What are you using to clean the diff. For it to come out so clean like that?

[@benofthenorthuk]

Sweet looking car - I'd just be happy to have my rattles and clanks gone 😂

[@ver1417]

what are those front deffusers and if there are side skirt ones as well would be nice, they give your tt a more agressive look

[@Phil-1969]

Can you do a DMF on my 3.2 dsg , and the chains as well, if you can what’s the best way to make contact

[@quasirali6660]

My breather pipes have perished. What difference will new breather pipes make and a maf sensor?

[@Go_With_The_Grain]

Do you have a video on how to take the rear subframe apart? I'm sure you had one but cannot find anymore. Cheers

[@petealford203]

What cleaner did you use in the Gearbox?

[@julesmatthews2178]

Bryn I would like this doing to my rear end looks like it was done in the day 🤔

[@propertystylinguk]

I really need U to work on my TT watching your videos as brought back the love for my car I stop driving it 2year ago.....Help

[@ferdinanddelacruz7873]

hi were can I buy cover under the engine bay

[@stevesloan6775]

There's nothing wrong with using a paint brush to get into difficult places. The good thing about thick paint is you can sand and spray top coat it clear.

[@allstartownland1370]

Hey bws TT You gotta video guide for rear subframe removal on the MK1 TT.... Lookin' for a guide to taking my Bora 4mo rear end out for full renovation! Thanks!

Super job. What paint did you use of the differential casing?

[@BWSTT]

It’s called alumablast by Eastwood

Did you do the subframe removal video? Can’t find it, need to restore mine 🥲

[@Go_With_The_Grain]

How much time does it take to remove rear sub-frame?

[@BWSTT]

Depends on exactly which method you use, whats seized etc. Im doing a how to video on that very soon

[@PatrickAndrewsMacphee]

Also, did those subframe bushes need replacing? How can you tell?

[@BWSTT]

They would have been ok to stay, but Paul wanted polybushes for aesthetic and performance reasons

[@PatrickAndrewsMacphee]

@@BWSTT Thanks so much for this info. I will be paypalling you a small thx. Hugely enjoying your work. p

[@BWSTT]

Thank you very much

[@slbhp]

Trying to ring you mate you never pick your phone up lol busy bee 🐝🤪

[@dantheman1337]

SiliCONE coolant tubes are porous...they leak coolant and oil. Burning out the bushes is unnecessary, heat them a bit yes, the rubber melts, then they hammer out. Less damage to the subframe metal that way (you are changing the heat teatment of it). The PCV system you are 'deleting' with a catch could cause big issues if you get it wrong. It is carefully designed to regulate the engine pressure properly. When you torque bushes for the suspension, the weight of the car must be on the bushes. I don't know how you've done this since the car is only on axle stands.

[@BWSTT]

Thanks for showing you know a thing or 2, and thanks for assuming I don’t. For a start, you inly need the weight of the car on rubber bushes, to stop preload in the bush. Polybushes don’t require this, as the crushtube is what youre torqueing against, and the bush moves independently of this- by design. If i do install standard bushes, i have 4 1 foot high plinths i lower the car onto to be able to torque up. Now given that we have proven my knowledge on one point, do i really need to do the same for the rest?

[@frags69]
