In today's video we get the engine back into the Audi TT and get her up and running again, but as always its not straight forward. If all goes well we might get an MOT done too!

Recently discovered your channel.. Hats off you doing all this yourself. Really like what you do.

[@dbriddie9525]

Should be proud of yourself, Dean. Great job

[@ItsMe-y8j]

Hi Dean please let me know if you are going to do a Raffle and keep up the great work your a amazing macanic/engineer so interesting to watch 🤜🤛👌

[@channelwhywhywhy]

Just bought my own TT from the auction house last week. Hopefully I don't have to go to the lengths you have had to go through to get yours back on the road! Brilliant rebuild though, super enjoyed binge watching it tonight. As a side note, you mentioned a more detailed engine build on a Golf/S3?

[@tigers9122]

I want to see that TVR back on the road

[@joharjohan9029]

you're a good mechanic sir ..! tq so much for sharing your knowledge..well done.

[@martinverhoeve1372]

Great car, awesome repair, nice guy, superb video, honest and open on costs, so yeah perfect all the way. First 100 miles easy on the pistons, break them in carefully. This car will bring joy for many years!

nice one Dean....you adding a little "How to" section is brilliant.. (explaining PCV)....if you had a little section where you briefly explain a part, that would be epic.."this week guys a two minute overview of intercoolers"...sort of thing..

[@mclarenjohnf1]

Nice job Dean and you gave a good lesson on the PCV they are a pain if you have no idea what they do, I know people who have had the noise but couldn't work it out.

[@boejoss]

Agreed, good to get the explanation. Massive issue on Mini Cooper S engines of the R56 era, the PCV membrane tears.

[@jeffshaw4553]

Brilliant loved this build top quality 👍🏽👍🏽

[@thomasfrancis5747]

Good job. Need to provision a cost for full tracking/steering wheel realignment.

[@aidencoder]

The PCV system in those 2.0T engines is a right pain. If it wasn't for flipping i'd get a PCV delete kit and catch can.

Could the broken pcv valve have caused the initial engine damage?

[@paulwoolnough3445]

Started watching @SavingSalvage after you shared the link on the TT forum. Have now watched the Caravelle, S1, TT and probably some other I've forgotten! Great bids. Will you be rafefling this bad boy or selling??!!

[@SavingSalvage]

It’s up for raffle now the S1, unsure about the TT yet though.

[@stevesas632]

Our Somoa Orange Amplified TFSI manual with 32k miles was 15k last year July. If Labour from specialist was included in the bill, then no profit I'd imagine.

Unfortunately pcv valve common problem on these engines. Great video Dean. But always seems to fly by

If I don’t win the s1 I’ll defo be trying for this would be a nice upgrade from a r56 mini ! Love the content mate keep it up !

[@criticalbrisket]

Considering the exhaust wasn't connected and you didn't install the airbox, that sounded like an engine direct from factory. Well done!

[@Kingdonnerkebab]

Loved this TT series Dean

[@liamegan4303]

Hi Dean. Good job getting that Engine back in. I bet you will be glad when its finished and gone lol. Wow it sounds brilliant. A new PCV valve and your off. No leaks or nothing. The Camera darkness is fine Dean. This will be a Great car for someone especially when it gets a few coats of Polish and a good Valet. I think £2000 was not too bad to get it all Finished. Engine. Wheels. Parts. Tyres. And the £8000 for the Car. That's not too bad Dean. Someone will get a cracking car. Hopefully it will be me. Lol. Anyway your a Bloody Legend Pal and another Great car hits the road again. Respect. I think if you had not rescued this Car then it would have been Scrapped and parted out. So Thanks for saving another Car. Ireland loves you lol 😅😅

[@SavingSalvage]

Thank you 😊

Great work,stunning looking motor,we have mk1 tt in red.

[@johnlad1481]

Nice one Dean she sounds sweet bet shel look mint with the refurb wheels 👌

[@HooperDJ]

Did the faulty valve cause the piston damage in the first place?

[@generalt1090]

Awesome result !!

[@ro63rto]

Nicely done. I like the interior colour. My brother has a mk2 TTs with the usual alarm siren packing up and typically the bolt it is held on with just spins. Solution? Bloody wing has to come off. What is it with Audi engineers. Bose amp is in the boot in an area that gets lots of condensation so eventually packs up due to corrosion. Rear lights have an earth problem where a new thicker earth has to be installed to bypass the piss poor Audi attempt. So many little design flaws.

[@chrisml91]

They are made in Hungary. That's what I put it down to, haha. As an TT Mk2 owner myself.

[@Fazza257]

Great rebuild Dean!

[@newkidd9129]

Is it possible that the faulty PCV valve caused the engine failure in the first place? Maybe under or overfuelling, or messing up the lubrication? Just throwing that out there!

[@SavingSalvage]

I did think that yes! We will never know

[@shotgunj1]

I was thinking the same thing I'd say a very good possibility

[@boejoss]

I'm not sure I want to know the answer to this but at 6:50 are you using an impact driver to tighten the spark plugs? I've always done them manually with a torque wrench, is it safe to use the driver instead?

[@paddyoconnell9557]

Nice job

[@georgedaville4662]

Great job Dean, fantastic car that has been sorted properly. 👍🇬🇧😎

[@Marvelwear]

Do you think the cylinder failed due to pcv or carbon build up?

Nice work but on the costs I don’t think you included the air con re gas or is that not considered in the cost breakdown?

Add £65 🤣

Would you not run it in with running in oil for a few hundred miles?

No, engines are quite resilient these days. Most brand new cars with fully new engines don’t have a first service until 18/20k miles

[@gavinjewell5529]

[@stumartin2644]

If you have an older car beware of buying Carly. After being told by Carly that my 2005 S2000 would be able to be read by the Carly, guess what. it didn't. The way they sell it means that you don't buy the reader, that's free. You are buying software/subscription. Guess again, what happens when the reader doesn't pick up the ECU, you contact their support to be told "not sure when we'll get to your ecu, could be a week, could be years" Oh and you can't get a refund because you have only bought a software subscription. What an absolute con!
