FIRST ROAD TEST WITH THE NEW ENGINE IN THE AUDI S3!!

[@SavingSalvage]

Sorry everyone, KZbin messed up the video whist I was trying to edit out a copyright and then it wouldn't process. So I've had to re upload it!

[@devonutopia]

I thought when the music I was playing loud it might get a strike :D I did enjoy it and do love a bit of bass

[@trealin4730]

@@devonutopia rookie error 😂

[@chrisharland9568]

😀Ah, that explains it. Was half way through watching and it all went a bit weird! Great content as always

[@cliffburridge]

D’oh!

[@MattyEngland]

No worries mate, shit happens 👍

[@gregwhitaker438]

I’d agree with you Dean, Silver would look best.

[@markcrowley7042]

Silver wheels 🛞 - great build once again 🎉

[@Aazbo]

I'd go with silver wheels, nice work on the rebuild 😉👌

[@johncunningham1498]

Watch this after thumb nail, was gutted for you after all u put into it BUT it was only a sensor and brake imbalance you rascal..........Great job Dean! Also very honest content.....ref the issue with loom and pump, nice job sir

[@TheJensenInterceptor]

Impressed you got to the MOT garage, I found this amazing - So good to see you smile on the way home; your normally so troubled with your challenges.

[@hannchris2762]

The S 3 is looking amazing great job

[@metalworker007]

One of the things I've noticed on most Audi's is that the wheel arch follows the circumference of the wheels perfectly ..and that look is spectacular ....you lower it ...and you loose that feature.

[@composedlight6850]

New Bumper and leave as is --- its a good car :)

[@visionsinblue7093]

Even better the second time round 🤣 Great video Dean - keep up the great work!

[@andyseaton7895]

Great work on the S3. I like those wheels, but I think they'd look better in Silver. It'd also look loads better on my driveway!! 🤪👍

[@robparker1625]

Silver alloys definitely. Looking great though.

[@nickgiovanniit5809]

Thanks for the great video. Gives me peace of mind a second hand Golf R engine will do the job if the lump in my 100,000+ miler ever dies. If I'd had it all stripped down like that I would have stuck drilled discs and Brembos on and been done with it. The stock S3 rotors aren't great. I did mine and it was a worthwhile upgrade. It's been standing so do the fluid too. If you're going with dark colour wheels, get the grille, bumper and window surround chrome-effect wrapped in matt black as well. Or go silver for the wheels and leave chrome as is. Either is a good look on an S3. Enjoy.

[@eamonkelly2792]

The S3 is looking great, the silver alloys look better, it's a pity you couldn't get the MOT done but I'm sure it will be OK the next time you bring it in

[@cozifpv2069]

I love the wheel colour. You should get the chrome trim blacked out.

[@waynebaldycanning]

Absolute amazing work Dean. To take it straight to MOT and only a couple of minor things wrong is a job well done. You should be proud of yourself. Very talented.. wheels in silver I think

[@paganpriestess979]

Would go with the black/silver wheels every time. Think it just pulls the look together better.

[@trainmanbob]

Nice work Dean. Silver for the alloys, new rear bumper, but no lowering or mods. It is right just as it is.

[@vegasphil]

Yep agree wheels would look nice in a nice bright silver. Sure you will find a rear bumper in colour. Would be tempted to buy it a set of standard wheels and sell it on as a standard car! Nice turnaround.

[@sunsetgarage755]

What a great swap! So lucky to get a Golf R with a perfect engine & so much external damage but sometimes it’s worth the risk. Really enjoyed watching this series. Bronze wheels look great on white cars, not so great on black imho but colour is mostly subjective. Very inspiring swap.

[@leegodden9383]

You amaze me every time with your great knowledge, if my Q3 ever breaks I want you to fix it 😎

[@seanfarrell6009]

Great series Dean, I would get some silver wheels on it and put the bronze ones to one side would look much better on a white car, What are your plans for S3 now it's done? Sell or are you still thinking of a raffle? I'd definitely be in for some raffle tickets, Looking forward to seeing R8 pt2

[@markbennett6658]

I don’t mind the design of the bronze wheels but they’re too close to the body colour and need to be silver for the contrast. They’ll looking meatier too!

[@NigeUK007]

Silver wheels and paint both bumpers to eliminate all those stone chips. Great work! Love watching the channel.

[@dmarriott9701]

Had an A3 some years ago and crunched the rear near side corner with my van, really made me angry at myself. Got out my heat gun and got all the crease out 100% just had to have the bumper touched up by a PDR man. Really satisfying

[@RonnyJakobsson]

Only the brave go to the MOT without a test drive. Great work as usual 😊👍🏻 All black is boring. Nice and shiny silver wheels will look better.

[@gman6861]

Great work on the engine swap 👌🏼I like the bronze wheels

[@gordonharper2869]

Looks great ,again well done on the rebuild

[@andrewharding165]

Audi S3 Looking great Dean, but the Original 18" diamond cut wheels look far better 👍

[@TeaVR]

Job well done!!! Silver wheels or gunmetal grey for me.

[@stevo4649]

thank you Dean brilliant content,,,and silver wheels for sure..👍👍👌

[@robinharrison3907]

STUNNING LOOKING CAR BUD 👍👍👍A REALLY GOOD AND INTERESTING BUILD 👍👍NICE ONE 😀😀

[@f1kwa399]

Silver wheels, sort out the bodywork, charge the a/c, stick antifreeze in quick before it freezes and knock it out, keep the go-faster stuff for the Golf and get rid of that too. Great vid as always 👍

[@andrewcapper2387]

Silver wheels defo dean good content as usual 👌

[@rohanchapman4159]

Hard work and risk paid off, beautiful car, great job

[@roberthargrave573]

Great video, Dean car looking good. I hope you get it through the mot. I prefer the silver wheels.

[@kevinballard2544]

Silver alloys for sure, lower a smidge, and mild engine mods. Then enjoy. Nice job Dean.

[@RedRebs]

You're right the wheels would look better in silver with the chrome but what would look even better is all the chrome going black and keep the wheels

[@richardisaac1957]

Silver wheels..Dean... Great job..

[@davec1942]

I'd switch the performance parts to the Audi, when I see a CAT S for sale all I can think of is the list of problems the car has, for it to not be standard as well as damaged, I wouldn't even give it a second glance, the list of further problems other than the obvious could be endless and take twice/thrice as long to fix when things inevitably go wrong. In two minds about the wheels, it looks unique like this and it suits the car, for a quick sale, I'd change em to suit the cars exterior piping trim. Great vid lad, thanks.

[@adriansmith1410]

Silver defo looks amazing result 👏👏✌️😉👌

[@rjauto7215]

dean the wheels look the bollox fella as thay are mate .well done with the engine job sounds great .very well done dean

[@paulsmith3316]

Great series. Personally I'd go for silver alloys. Keep up the good work.

[@markypemberton59]

Gloss black and do all the silver trim gloss black 👍🏻👍🏻

[@louiesnanna3355]

Really enjoyed the s3 series, as I own 1 and have picked up some good bits of info! 👍

[@andrewkidger7048]

Bit frustrating getting the mot but the car sounds great, not that keen on the alloys thought but would look better in Silver Top job Dean as always, really enjoyed the content, Well done.

[@Welwynnick]

Great job . Great video. Just one comment. I wouldn't use the Ramair air filter if you care about your engine. They give you around one percent more airflow in exchange for around one thousand percent more dust getting through. All the best, Nick

[@martinpettitt7847]

Like the wheels sounds brilliant

[@hasbeengood]

Well done (again), good show!

[@tyleroldfield5569]

Good stuff, are you after any original parts? All from a FL 2019 black Edition S3; Front Grill Standard induction kit 18inch FL BlkEd Alloys

[@PaneraiTravel]

Don't lower the suspension mate! Thanks for these uploads, it's far better than watching TV!

[@mightyquattro]

Splendid video again, Dean! As to the wheels - honestly they are crap, I suggest you put the original back. I'm glad it came out nicely with engine from Golf R!

[@macbitz]

Haha, in the first video your lips were moving but the words coming out were different, I thought you'd turned into a politician! Anyway, very enjoyable as always 👍🏼 PS, silver wheels for me.

[@stephendutton3766]

Agreed change the wheels to silver. Everything clashes.

[@petersutherland2075]

silver wheels maybe. amazing job well done

[@yobama8344]

new bumper, silver wheels and congrats on the successful rebuild

[@dubzstylerc9580]

Love the bronze wheels, maybe if you was to wrap the chrome with some bronze wrap , and the mirror covers that would look really smart plus, it would also look a bit different, keep up the good work

[@justinmilsom7990]

Car looks great Dean, I think those bronze wheels look good really suit the S3. Great channel BTW

[@jk6171]

Not sure them wheels suit s3 but a lovely job getting that engine set up and running lovely spec s3

[@familieverhoeve7127]

What a machine an S3 is, wonderful. It looks like I am a bit different but I like the wheels as it is now. If this was my car I would go for these wheels, not the silver. I guess I would maybe put M/S tires on the silver wheels for the wintertime for a bit more grip, but use the bronze wheels from april till october... looking forward to the next video.

[@carlwicks2088]

Silver 100% 👍🏻 Awesome video as always. Thank you

[@willlibby4531]

New to the channel mate. Love the work you've put in on this build Dean. Looking forward to more

[@paulmoore6345]

Wow what a lovely looking car. That’s another one sorted 👍👍👍 personally I think a more lighter coloured wheels

[@l9jjp]

I like the wheels as they are or maybe grey !

[@jasonr9183]

Was that breakdown a bit of click bait Dean 😂. Great video as always bud, keep up the good work.

[@SavingSalvage]

Maybe 🤔 😂

[@spiderdad00]

Nice job looks awesome silver wheels

[@thegasgeezer]

Black out the alloy, keep wheels on! Black edition 👍 nice job so far, come on R8 !!

[@Jjgov68]

Superb why doesn’t ch4 or 5 take you on

[@darrenjones9504]

Great series Dean. I like it with those wheels, but silver may look better 🤷🏻‍♀️ Would be good to see it modified 👍👍

[@electrician1602]

Good job Dean. Enjoyed that, being an S3 driver currently.

[@Jon.O]

silver wheels. Great video Dean.

[@ItalianRebuild]

First drive with a new engine ....ow i know the feeling haha. You kept looking on the dash ...no faults? No... 😅 Great video.

[@stuartcolvin1165]

Keyfob battery. Not sure if the keys feature In this version or not, but Duracell's have child proof stickers on them which prevent them working in some devices. Cheaper brands don't have the stickers

[@LeighKirkHarris]

Wheels look good, but agree that silver would look better. Would be fun to see 500+ BHP in the S3, but it makes sense what you say about preserving values of both cars by keeping mods on Golf and the S3 stock

[@johnrowell942]

Nice work on the engine swap. Sliver for the wheels

[@utilitarian]

I like the original wheels myself. I also like it standard without the performance parts. Perhaps list it for sale and offer the parts as extra cost to the buyer.

[@mikecollyer701]

Great job Dean, definitely go with the silver wheels against the black, would look far better.

[@sagas070707]

Silver wheels would look better but what really look much better would be if you could mach the chromes with a color match wheels wrap, that would look fenomenal. The wheels r beautiful the chrome on that car not so much. What do you think? Great video mate, keep going. Can't wait to see the R8 moving on its wheels and power.

[@andywillerton9978]

Silver Dean , great content.!!

[@colinduncan1530]

Absolutely smashed it Dean! Need that rear bumper and the scrape sorted and no, those wheels don't look right, they need to be silver and it needs lowering as you say. Would be interesting to know the total cost breakdown for what it cost you versus what it's now worth?

[@johnelbro127]

Great work and now a great car. Well,done. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@foregonereality]

Don't think you'll be getting any advisories on those michelins! Looking great!

[@alectunney1555]

Well done! Personally prefer the silver alloys

[@MrJustliketoast]

i would also go for silver wheels, looks nice though

[@twostrokecharlie]

Brilliant coverage Dean

[@steveegginton535]

Well that's one Audi engine problem sorted just one to go!🙂 Great video and the S3 looks and sounds great. Another vote for silver wheels thought the originals looked better.

[@waynehammerton5698]

Nice work Dean

[@Jasonj___8]

Defo silver Deano well done mate 👍👍

[@RumpleXstillXskin]

I like the dark wheels ,leave up to next owner to change if bothered …..nice car 👍

[@bigsighmusicdroneblogs1843]

Another great video id love that car. You Should do a transit custom diesel make ist sound good no one's done one yet from standard twin pipes ect

[@kennadod2080]

Great job, deffo look better silver

[@TheGaryprice]

Brilliant build this.👌🏻

[@narendravara5134]

Really Good Job. The wheels look better in silver

[@Challenger540i]

Silver! Great vid, again! Very watchable

[@Baz-qj6cu]

Looks smart great video tbf wouldn’t spend more money if you don’t think you will get the value back back bumper sorted n move it along on to next project :)

[@haylandbroadley9166]

Gave up on old vid as it was doing my nut in, glad you sorted it. Awsome vid, looks a corking car. Do wheels silver

[@frisk2k]

I wouldn't change a thing on it (apart from the damaged bumpers). These wheels look surprisingly good (industrial matte brown on a shiny black body with silver trimming). Matching silver wheels will make it look boring. And please do NOT lower it! Right now the fender and the wheel arches are perfectly aligned, if you lower it, it'll look off. Overall: great job.

[@zamasa536]

nice video.keep the good work.

[@ArlieEdis]

i would keep the wheels as they are and make the trim black but the rebuild looks great tho

[@don911donny9]

Silver wheels a must
