Audi Tt Coolant Leak Testing

[@pigeonguardgames507]

That's one of the many jobs crossed off the list!👍 a useful vid for many I think.

[@TheParrottBros]

Hopefully mate, coolant leaks can be quite a daunting thing so wanted to show for the most part it’s not too bad 😂

[@CarChris82]

Glad its not to bad Dom nice easy fix for the coolant leak. Catch can is the way to go mate 👍

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks buddy, usually I would go Stock Pcv route as it saves you having to Keep checking the catch can etc. but on this as it’s missing parts I’m gonna go for the cheaper easier option 😂

[@CarChris82]

@@TheParrottBros fairplay mate makes sense 👍🏻

[@stevesloan6775]

Brilliant video... definitely not the last time I’ll be watching this..🤜🏼🤛🏼🇦🇺🍀 Happy New Year. Make no mistake I love the TT. Please keep that content coming.

[@TheParrottBros]

It’s always here if you need it 😜. Plenty more content coming don’t you worry mate, happy new year fella 🥳

[@YoJonesyJonesMusic]

Thank you . I’d love to ask a question about one of my hoses

[@stuartwinstanley4949]

Great as always Dom 👍

[@gplusgplus2286]

Great video. Just a couple more things, you're supposed to test the pump with the engine hot and off, pump to end of green area in the pump gauge. You don't need the whole pump kit, BGS sells the pump alone (was about 15eur) and you buy a VW/Audi coolant bottle adaptor for about 7eur IIRC. In mine the T piece near the radiator was microfractured and leaking and also one of the quick connects going to the heater core, all cheap and easy to DIY replace. Also don't bother with metal flanges, the plastic ones have held for 20 years, get plastic, its cheap and does the job.

[@audittrs2885]

Nice easy fix dom good video

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks buddy

[@bobjarvis1787]

Happy New Year! 🥳. My vote is to keep the Elderberry TT standardish ! & a big turbo on the Noggy. Another tool for my list ! 😊 The kit reviews are a great departure😎

[@TheParrottBros]

Happy new year fella. I tend to agree with you, makes sense as the noggy is ready and waiting where As the berry is basically still stock and tired. Thanks excited to get stuck into the kit 😊

[@markthenewt]

Lots of good info on this page mate nice and clear too. Loving the content. I have a A3 8l quattro but some of the stuff here applies to mine. Subbed 👍

[@TheParrottBros]

Welcome aboard! Yeah quite a lot of it transfers between models. The a3 8l is a brilliant platform. Nearly Bought an s3 a few times

[@markthenewt]

@@TheParrottBros thanks mate. Yeah I'd have loved an S3 but couldn't afford one 12 years ago so I got an A3 quattro instead and I still have it now 💪

[@alaindunkerque59]

Belle vidéo 👌 😉

[@mk1chopper]

Another great video, I'd replace that coolant flange pipe (the plastic pipe the temp sensor fits into). Mine just failed (hairline crack) and turns out there a common part to fail.

[@TheParrottBros]

Funnily enough I have one sat in my parts pile ready to swap

[@Trig0r]

Catch can would have been on the list, with the N95 and other bits, not sure if the after run pump actually works or not, I did have one on the parts list...

[@TheParrottBros]

I’ve not had it working yet 😂. Although that could also be down to the fan issue so we shall see what is up with that first

[@HERMIR]

Is there a way to check the water pump without removing everything? There's a very smal chance that i damage my o-ring

[@richardgeorge8120]

Great stuff mate - it's a strange set up on that car! why remove the puc??

[@TheParrottBros]

I’m guessing they have had a split pipe and then just made something to work

[@richardgeorge8120]

@@TheParrottBros yes…… and that’s why insulating tape was invented 😊

[@Kenny_Ded]

I'm so exited to see the progress on this car. Such a great colour on it, so it deserves some love. (It's in the right hands for that now) Have you decided if you're going to keep it stock or not? My vote goes to just keeping it stock.

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks buddy, yeah I think it’s going to stay stock give or take a few repairs like Pcv delete etc as already been partly removed etc

[@Trig0r]

It was kinda in the right hands before, I tried to get someone to fix the issues with it but couldn't, plusI do 8 miles a day which wasn't doing it any good either, which is why I offered it to Dom first...

[@TheParrottBros]

@@Trig0r your a gentleman! It’s now occupying my garage while I wait for some dry days to fight with it 😂

[@Trig0r]

@@TheParrottBros well you say gentleman, probably a stretch;), but to be fair you kinda knew what you were getting yourself into :D

[@TheParrottBros]

@@Trig0r I was under no illusions thats for sure haha, aaron was asking after the wooer haha

[@hugoreyes6757]

Can this coolant tester clear any air Trapped ...or can a faulty thermostat not flow coolant in the Radiator..sorry I have little knowledge of cars

[@TheParrottBros]

The pressure tester doesn’t make liquids flow it simply applys pressure to the system to check for leaks and loss of pressure A faulty thermostat could be stuck open or closed. Easy enough to remove and replace

[@michaelfarley2710]

Hey, I’ve been having some issues with my TT that my mechanic is unable to sort out, I was wondering if there’s a platform where I can direct message you or call you about it, as you are far more knowledgeable than me! Thank you

[@TheParrottBros]

I have instagram, Facebook and a website with email messages if that helps

[@elisabethsilva9070]

In Portugal a AUDI TT mk1 cost 7.000 euros with many milles or km....

[@TheParrottBros]

Ooo wow that’s amazing

[@ArisHDi]

any tips for a good intake manifold?

[@TheParrottBros]

Could you elaborate more please

[@ArisHDi]

@@TheParrottBros all i want is a healthier engine, probably a manifold with better airflow and better heat transfer management. I really dont care about making it faster, just healthier.

[@matharris100]

Battery drain on a tt lots off people suffering any help on this Mat

[@TheParrottBros]

Battery drains can be a number of things, easy enough to test and find. Usually it’s the stereo, clocks or similar. You can do one of two things. Use a multi meter and when the car is turned off for more than 15 mins see what the current draw is to certain things. Pull a fuse and for a couple days and see if it helps

[@kevinpollard1550]

Got no leaking anywhere on mine its been brill . I had pipes smoked tested on vacuum side one was perished reached that then 2 weeks later another leaked

[@TheParrottBros]

That’s good news! Yeah the vac/ Pcv system often fails and blocks up / perishes due to oil vapor inside the lines. Sounds like you have one of the good ones

[@kevinpollard1550]

I love it beautiful car goes well as well only thing not to sure about is it has bam stamped on engine block a friend said they were unreliable

[@TheParrottBros]

@@kevinpollard1550 bam is the better the most popular one for tuning so I wouldn’t worry too much. Both mine are bam, boggy one is 185k, elderberry is 178k miles 😊

[@Tonyr2]

I do have a small leak on my 180 but no evidence of a leak anywhere 🤔. Turbo?

[@TheParrottBros]

Usually there will be a small crystal like residue somewhere, how little are we talking? it could be a whole host of things, heater matrix, waterpump etc

[@dashcam2417]

Heater matrix in dashboard . Check for damp carpets and condensation inside the cabin .

[@TheParrottBros]

@@dashcam2417 usually you will also notice that coolant smell 2 heaters not getting as hot if not holding pressure
