I SAVED MYSELF OVER $1200 BY DOING IT MYSELF

[@user-vv6ns5dw4v]

So hyped to see the Audi to get some TLC. This series is going to be AMAZING.

[@thiagomaddox7662]

instablaster...

[@MaCuXPunk]

Slide pins on such brake system as ATE should not be lubricated as far as manufacturer suggest. Part of the slide pin is open to air and any dust or contaminant can easily stick to grease and cause even more damage.

[@WrongFromWright]

Also, because you have a few Euro cars, look into FCPEuro. Not sure if you heard of them before, but almost everything they sell has a Lifetime Warranty, and im pretty sure everything on their website is OEM/OE.

[@georgec1311]

This was the video that i was waiting for. Good job man! Keep it up. Now i'm thinking to buy myself an A4 because even if it's a 15 year old car it's very stylish. I want to see you diving it. Great video!

[@jacquesgouws]

I need to do this on my TT as well... nice video. I will definitley be following this series

[@31marek13]

That feeling when you have to learn but new video is out :D Well learning must wait

[@hyunkim3422]

Good to see you know the proper way centre caps go on.

[@milanmastracci]

It drives me nuts when they are installed incorrectly... my OCD was killing me lol

[@inox1ck]

Good job, also black paint dissipates heat faster, but beware of cheap brake pads, you may have problems during extensive heavy braking for example on a hill descent or they may have a longer stoping distance. Not sure about the discs but they may get worn out much faster.

[@_-KOEN-_]

Changing rear brake pads is usually different. You need a special tool to move the brake cylinder. I messed up he brakes on my vw golf once by doing this without the tool.

[@borronachoproductions6865]

Seeing the wheels being cleaned up was so satisfying 😌

[@mikejohnson120]

Really like your videos buddy, has helped me out alot

[@joyridaz]

Clear corners would really enhance the front end. I did it to my b6 and really changed the look of it, highly recommend it, fun diy and likely good KZbin content. I also painted the rear orange bulbs silver and it looks better

[@Joseph-eh4rs]

I had that year's A4 and I can't say I miss that car.

[@lassewa8326]

You are so so lucky, i had a a4 03 sw where every nut was stuck😂

[@gedas3419]

You should buy cars for few hundreds fix 'em, and sell for K's, I mean flip cars, and make money on projects. But don't sell audi do auto to manual conversion, 'cause you haven't made a 'vid 'bout 'dat :) big turbo can increase easily your power. 500hp safely. Ot has race style 5 valve head.

[@janprokopenko7928]

Gedas Alekveravičius auto to manual swap is impossibly hard and it will never work as factory manual car.

[@gilbertomota714]

I just want to say i love your videos and i was expecting you to upload faster so pleaseeeeee more content keep up the good work

[@Soltan27]

I love these videos keep it up

[@sgmzzenom]

I also have an Audi A4 Avant 2002 1.9TDI AVF 131CP european version, they are good, strong cars, and this 1.8T engine is also very good for tuning :)

[@mz20111122]

God bless you...i learn a lot from you

[@ScottSellsSoCal]

Do you ever use scotch brite pads or magic eraser to clean the wheels? Doesn’t scratch.... I use them before the clay bar

[@yanezclaud5]

Subed just for the audi videos

[@rookietoprobuildz]

Hmm ... that Magic Eraser method is good ! Definitely will try it

[@rodan_music]

Didn't you forget to mention how important it is cleaning the remaining parts before mounting the new parts?

[@Drzdevildog]

Nice use of the magic eraser!

[@konioklonio1]

When using deironizer try to spray it on a dry wheel so you don't dillute it.

[@LivingLife128]

did you put the brackets and calipers in that media blaster in your garage to clean them before you painted them?

[@Pendaws]

Very good job Milan, the calipers would have looked better if you have painted them Red, it would look so much better on a black car.

[@paulnicusor4595]

i make my weels looking even black in the inside , i brush 1 hour each to clean them and then i apply 2 couts of paint on each , hard work but worth

[@scanspeak00]

I'm about to do this exact mod so thanks heaps for this video. :)

[@WinkieDuck]

great video. great video angles.

[@eazyis13]

Your my fourth favorite Canadian. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@ibeyhuss111]

First! Admire the work bro! especially on the Mini Cooper S! Keep it up bro

[@milanmastracci]

Thanks brother!! :)

[@remigiuszgdula3621]

Cool. Do the timing belt next.

[@Vasetoo93]

That is a great car, mate! Good job Im waiting to see more clips of the audi a4! May I suggest buying new tires, cuz those are quite old ;)

[@piCksenn]

My honest opinion: I radder see you do the same process that you did for the golf than seeing that mini being build, every KZbinr now does that, the golf Project was more tuning and it makes it more unique.. good video tho

[@ibo1137]

More videos of the AUDI :D!

[@milanmastracci]

They're coming :) I've got a fun video about my Z coming out next!! Then I'll be hopping back to the Audi

[@muhammadwafiy2812]

Did you torque down any of the brakes’ bolts?

[@lukasmeyer1992]

Audi tells you not to lube the backside of the rotor. Only the center part where it meets the center of the hub.

[@milanmastracci]

Rip lol

[@lukasmeyer1992]

milanmastracci If you put to much grease on the hub itself the disk wont seat straight on the hub. This will give you vibrations. Have fun if you experience it oneday ;)

[@rosenrusev8656]

it is amazingly how much more expensive a rim looks like when you take care - How much time did it took you to do it to all 4 wheels with the whole process of changing rotors and the pads?

[@paantapo]

Hello Milan, I have a question for you.. well, two questions: 1) All those cars are yours or do you fix them for anybody else? 2) Are you an engineer or do you study engineering? I really enjoy and learn a lot with your videos!! Greetings!!

[@ScottPC]

When do breaks cost 1200...

[@bartsimpson4983]

ThatGuyNamedScott. C German cars/parts are expensive and the labor is even more expensive that’s how he saved 1200

[@ScottPC]

It’s Me Bro literally costs half that if max..

[@mavricxx]

Depends on the brand actually but he's referring to taking it to a mechanic

[@MFullaStyle]

If those calipers had been seized it would've been even more .. that's a great save . VW/Audi cars are great when you take care of them but they burn your pocket

[@milanmastracci]

It did drive fine, but the pads were not contacting the entire rotor, the rotors had a nice lip on them, and the slider pins were not lubricated properly. The brakes needed to be changed no matter which way you look at it. The $1400 is the price I got from my local Audi dealership for replacing the pads and rotors front and back. That is parts and labour

[@timothystrunk7323]

Y didnt you use some of tht money from the 240 to get the mini done

[@triniwarrior16]

he turns around the wheel and my jaw drops XD

[@sheerazkazi489]

Awesome

[@Jfresh55]

Where do you buy your parts at? EBay?

[@autosport3081]

Well you done a good job in this brake and rotors replacement,but you could of made a great and perfect job,by going the extra mile,or extra step by doing the 2 things below: 1-Clean the hub where the rotors set,and not only apply anti seize,or better,remove the rust and paint it,then apply anti seize since you have OCD as you always say. 2-You should of done a brake fluid flush,and make the system got a brand new fluid free of moist or water,as you got a full set for 4 wheels,that would make braking much better.

[@omirikkos]

does the magic eraser scuff the clear coat of the rim?

[@WrongFromWright]

Dude, contact QuickJack, they might be sponsor you with a set of quick jacks.

[@shervindavid1452]

Fix up the headlights, paint the rims and the front chrome grill black or powder coat them. It'll look kinda sick imo!

[@stevehamilton5721]

"paint the wheels black" STFU you child.

[@AndrewKNI]

Fantastic job. Looks great and much safer :-)

[@justin6604]

amazing job!

[@GaryW.]

What paint did you use on the calipers?

[@xoxoxar]

LomUmp wondering the same thing!

[@milanmastracci]

I used an aerosol caliper paint: goo.gl/U7tcPi

[@motorvidz101]

Good video lad

[@ObadahH]

What are common sounds or indicators of slider pins not lubricated properly? I have had this weird braking sound from my front right wheel for a long time and it drives me crazy

[@milanmastracci]

You will usually see uneven brake rotor wear from the pad, and you will also see uneven pad wear from inside to outside brake pad. When you remove them, one, if not both, slider pins will be stuck/hard to remove.

[@thetraindriver01]

Great vid Milan, the wheels and brakes look great 👍 only 8k subs to go!!👍👍😜😜👍👍

[@JohnKaufmann]

Buddy you need to get yourself a QuickJack, C7000 Triumph or Max Jax. Great job BTW

[@milanmastracci]

Yeah I really do!! I've been looking into them..

[@JohnKaufmann]

milanmastracci I have a c7000 Triumph in my shop and it's amazing. Search for it in youtube and you will find my son's demo video. Please give him a sub too he's rebuilding a MK4!!

[@JB73691]

Brake Fluid Bleed ?

[@tarek3702]

Shared and liked your video

[@HabibRKO]

Your parents have a nice house man 👍

[@_kanes]

I wish you would keep the car. It's the only 4 door car you have. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

[@KarinaHernandez0712]

Do you use special waxing material for black cars? Thanks for answering

[@milanmastracci]

Nope. Isn't anything special, just means that any imperfection is more visible

[@KarinaHernandez0712]

Do you think it is possible to detail a car using only common hand tools? Its kind a expensive here in the Philippines to buy special tools and too risky to let someone detail it.

[@ivangutierreze.6417]

Now put some 20mm spacer rear and 15mm front. And that car will look mean

[@xoxoxar]

Would the magic eraser be safe on chrome?

[@milanmastracci]

Yes :)

[@riccardoarici]

Where did you put the jack?

[@milanmastracci]

Under the jackpoint on the front end. The jack is put under the car, about half a foot in from where the jack stand goes

[@riccardoarici]

Thank you very much Milan

[@Cav13]

with oven cleaner you can do the same or even better than this tire cleaner, i use that

[@jackiechan_wtf4041]

StilSpirit z Depends on what the wheel is made of. Since I have powder coated wheels, I can't use harsh chemicals like oven cleaner.

[@savvasalexandridis7792]

Only remove the hard edge from the pad when you are changing just pads and not rotors because the new pads iare touching the old grooves in the discs and create sqeeking noises. When you replace both pads and discs you shouldn't remove the edge because it's both the disc and the pad new so you won't get any noise

[@pook_papers6577]

He didn’t mention you need a computer for the rear brakes

[@kylesaunders5889]

It cost $800 for pads and rotors on my 08 Mazda 3. Did it myself for $120.

[@milanmastracci]

Yep I believe it :)

[@muhammadarfan7113]

What s a Magic Eraser and how does it work ?

[@mannys9130]

Muhammad Arfan It's made by Mr. Clean. It's like a foam sponge. You wet it with water and it removes stains that are stubborn.

[@tony53307]

It works like a sandpaper. Don't go crazy on it or you might ruin the clear coat.

[@MessyWhiteduke]

i have a 04 vw jetta and i want to change the brakes. i watched chrsfix video about it and he compresed the break caliper. and sins your audi is very similar to my vw. did you compres the caliper or something else or nothing at all?

[@MessyWhiteduke]

oh love the vids i leared how to instal a head unit from you.

[@mannys9130]

You always need to compress the caliper piston. New pads physically will not fit into the caliper if you don't put the piston back at its innermost position.

[@MessyWhiteduke]

thx thats what i thought maybe he just forgot to add that step in the vid

[@ensom]

yupp i have an 03' jetta, don't use a regular c clamp to compress the pistons, especially not for the rear calipers, they must be turned as they are pushed back in. you can borrow the tool to do this for free from autozone, or you can buy the tool for around $20-30 on amazon. it is definitely a necessary tool to do brakes on a VW correctly. make sure you suspend the calipers instead of letting them hang from the brake line. and use anti-seize and lube where appropriate. i got the oem pagid brake kit ( pads and rotors ) from rock auto, good parts and reasonable price.

[@MessyWhiteduke]

is the tool your refering to is like a small cube?

[@macW21O]

I think getting rid of the mini and concentrating on the 370z and the audi series would be very interesting, much more than a mini anyways 😅

[@bulletproof4463]

Killer rust man

[@imnota]

Will you actually mod it ? Or just fix it and sell it for more ?

[@milanmastracci]

Not sure yet :) What are some good mods for it?

[@imnota]

milanmastracci I guess some new rims, lower it a bit, and maybe something like a chrome delete or headlights with black housings.

[@BimmerDude]

Love your videos bro.. but i hate to say it... you had the cash from the 240sx to finish the mini. I guess to each their own but there's no way i would have bought a 370z with all that cash over multiple project builds and finishing the mini. Only reason i'm mentioning this because you told us how much you got for the 240sx... how much the z was and how much the Audi was. to blow 17k cash and in a matter of weeks it seems like is Remanent of how lottery winners blow their cash in a matter of years. Keep up the good work though

[@toothpicdinosaur3777]

You are selling an awd car... you live where?

[@milanmastracci]

Canada eh :)

[@toothpicdinosaur3777]

milanmastracci i live in NY awd would be nice in the hills

[@redlinenissan372]

a little bit of tlc can bring the value up big time (;

[@milanmastracci]

Ain't that the truth!!

[@finesseautodetailing845]

Nice

[@MumbleVlogs]

Good wheel cleaning tips

[@StuntmanMike555]

Take the window tints off. Make it look clean.

[@Simple_a4]

Don't sell the audi just do manual swap

[@nukexD]

Damn the hate on the mini is real lol but since I have a 370z I have to agree, sell the mini for 370z mods 😅 but either way I’ll watch the vids no matter what. Liking the Audi maintenance/ detail vids!

[@milanmastracci]

Thanks dude!! :)

[@Mercy.96]

!! WARNING !! You have to degrise the caliper first before you install it . And watch out the brakes dont work wery god the next *breaking 5miles*

[@milanmastracci]

What do you mean? What is degrise the caliper?

[@Mercy.96]

The brake rotor hav an oil on them. You have to remove the oil degrise it before installing

[@Mercy.96]

The oil is on them to stop it from tosting in the market.

[@milanmastracci]

I did remove it. I used brake clean before hand as I also coated the rotor hats so they wouldn't rust out on me.

[@zdravkovic422]

My opinion is to sell accord or something But keep audi it's good car And yes,streight pipe it 😁

[@pmdsp]

You have already made a video about changing breaks discs why making another similar video? When is the detailing vidoe coming out?

[@AhmadInvesting]

Fucking love these vids

[@Minecraft007crave]

Do you have Instagram ? I would like to DM you some pics of my B6 audi maybe for some ideas

[@coalieroller5663]

the tires are dry rotted as fuck

Yeah I know.. I've gotta find new ones

[@darkunicorn1208]

damn this car was neglected a bit.

[@edwinvelez7307]

swap a 2.7t

as a mechanic, please invest in some gloves. its not worth having to pick out metal shavings from your finger tips with a needle. best wishes

[@azharfahry_]

vr6 swap it!

[@bartsimpson4983]

Sell the mini for 370z parts 🤷‍♂️

[@milanmastracci]

Buy my mini ;)

[@giovannifoulmouth7205]

You let that toxic wheel cleaner runoff soak into your pavement?
