THIS DIY HACK WILL SAVE YOU £500! - TRADING UP

[@AutoalexCars]

UPGRADE YOUR CAR WITH A K&N FILTER HERE: www.knfilters.co.uk/

[@jakwadd]

£100 here if you wanna do my Edition 30 headliner 😂😂

[@felixsahlen1836]

Sorry bro but I prefer a working MAF over a couple of hp. These filters are for engines with carburetors.

[@golach420]

Josh is too tall. 😂

[@ghomerhust]

@@felixsahlen1836 no theyre not. theyre designed to lessen air restriction. that's it. if they were meant for carbies, why do they make very very specific ones for modern vehicles that wont fit anything else?

[@felixsahlen1836]

@@ghomerhust I know they aren't advertised for carb engines only. Problem is that the oil messes up the MAF readings. This causes the engine to believe it's getting either more or less air than it actually does, kinda similar to an intake air leak. I guess you might be able to clean the MAF, but it's VERY sensitive hence the misreadings by just a little oil from the filter. My JT oiled filter cost me two MAFs at 1000sek . Sure it's not K&N but the theoretical problem is still there. I'm convinced K&N make really good high quality filters, but you should only run dry filters on a car with a MAF.

Maisie is carrying you guys so hard, we can clearly see she is masterminding these builds and supervising your work

[@jameshunt2141]

just for future reference, the yellow crap on the headliner is what used to be foam. made the liner a bit spongey and makes the lining mould to the curves better. you can buy the new liner with foam already adhered and glue that on. It makes such a nicer job especially on a light coloured headliners

[@jooshy]

The new headliner had it already stuck to the back

[@ChaosPootato]

Probably helps with thermal insulation and sound deadening too.

[@JaffaJannu]

So Josh is the first actually competent member of Autoalex crew

[@brainblasta2]

Taylor is absolutely competent!

[@Johnjoe3519]

Was settling into the video with just Alex, Rory, and Josh, then Taylor turns up having sorted the whole front end of the car before he even got there. Outstanding! 😂 Quality content as always.

[@5harp3y]

Taylor = unsung hero of this video

[@hks2.3stroker6]

@@5harp3ytailor is the hero of the channel

[@patmcassey6465]

Maisy looked so betrayed when you closed the hatch in her face haha

[@JohnClark-ew8dh]

As a fellow adhd-er this one rang so true with every DIY job I've ever taken on. I've never tackled a headliner for the exact reasons Alex uncovered...preparation, scissors, patience etc etc 😂 Also Joosh is a good addition, playing the straight man against the antics of the rest of the guys

[@mgcharoudin]

Did it have taste?

[@ChaosPootato]

GIVE THE DOGGO THE LOVE IT DESERVES YOU MONSTER. Such a cute pup

[@matthewyoung3942]

I feel Taylor is the unsung hero in this episode. All that work he did and barely any screen time...... 🙄 😂

[@renegadetimelord9065]

Jooshy is a very welcome edition to the channel. Keep up the great content.

[@DavidHiggins-r9h]

Iv watched every video so far and can honestly say this is a massive step up from your car throttle days you can tell your a lot happier Alex and enjoying everything that your doing it would be nice to see you reunited with ethan and Jack though maybe a vs series with them could be an idea sincerely David higgins

[@Jp_mcc]

Totally agree leaving car throttle was his best move there channel is so boring now it's all about auto alex

[@DavidHiggins-r9h]

@@Jp_mcc the big guy on car throttle isn't alex

[@rob23062007]

Excited for this one as I’ve been wearing my Audi A4 headliner like a hat for the past 3 years

[@cal_lowe]

🤣🤣

[@chris0856]

The excitement I felt when I saw you upload a video made my evening! Loving the constant content being pushed out 😊

[@ThereAreNoHandlesLeft]

Have you hired on Josh full time? If so I'm pumped to see AA projects actually completed :D

[@ghomerhust]

yes, he's part of the team now. he went with them in Big Pete when they took the cars to the Ring this last time around.

[@marcusbennett9381]

I owned a 1985 Saab 900 Turbo and had to repair the headlining, I even had to do some fibreglass repairs to the panel the lining covered! I swore a fair bit, but having been advised of the right contact adhesive to use it turned out superbly, even getting compliments from a Saab specialist! A repair that needs some patience and care, but well worth it and definitely worth doing yourself instead of paying £500!

[@Hinjima92]

I appreciate the rapid uploads and the quality of the videos, having an absolute blast watching these. Nothing like knowing I got 20 minutes of AutoAlex waiting for me in the evening while I sit down with some food. Its a great highlight after a tough day, keep up the good work Alex and the team. Love, Hinjima.

[@MartyTheGamer]

As someone who grew up watching Wheeler Dealers I'm loving this series, especially the price breakdown of all the parts and work at the end reminded me of when Mike would enthusiastically sum up everything they did with the car.

[@krs4976]

I fixed mine for about 10p , a few strategically placed staples , sorted 😂 mine is a battered work horse though

[@andrewmorgan6759]

Best part of the whole video is Alex’s dog stepping on the headliner and getting offended when she’s pushed off

[@gerrycrompton8044]

Excellent video. Yours and Mighty Car Mods are the only ones i really look forward to watching when they get uploaded.

[@VXGaming]

Taylor showing everyone one of his many skills. Magic.

[@RandallSlick]

I remember back in the days of Max Power, I fitted a K&N filter to my stock '91 Golf GTi 8V and dyno'd 420BHP at the wheels. It's like having unicorn farts in your tank.

[@dss199]

Nice job fellas, really need to get my odd jobs done on the mx5. Think this gave me the nudge I needed!

[@Solent_Ben]

Great to see trading up is back, love this series!! Pls mic up Rory though! Lotsa love 💙

[@ImWithBigRed]

This is more like the content we knew and loved. No mention of The Ring 😊

[@dustinmock46]

Lol wheeler dealers doesn't include so many costs. As long as we don't film it we don't need to disclose it 👍. It's tv so whatever it's just funny. They've never lost money ever.

[@al8161]

You need the special cam locking tool to do the cambelt. If not, it will throw engine code at higher rpm. Cam bolts need to be loosened, the belt tightened and then the bolts torqued. You can not do a belt slap with marking dots on those 2.7 and 4.2 engines. Ask me how I know, I have 2 Audi S8 4.2 with manual gearboxes, one of them I could buy very cheap because previous owner had the belt done (incorrectly) and they could not find the fault.

[@williamfence566]

Had an E36 coupe that no one would touch the headliner ( hard to get out without bending ) . A boat repair marine company ended up doing it. Superb Job and £200 all in.

[@The_BenboBaggins]

Love and a well organised toolbox - can't wait to see one on the channel one day...

[@225M3RCR]

Love a B5 Audi a4 I had a 2.4 v6 in a dark green slammed with Porsche twists and I loved it. Slow but so much fun

[@ep-ou7sc]

Watching these guys is like hanging out in the garage with your best friends and just having an absolute blast

[@abolsgrind5742]

its always a good day when alex uploads! Love the videos, keep them coming :)

[@marckart66]

I remember removing the headliner from my 2013 Honda CRZ. I needed to change the sharkfin antenna to a DAB one. NEVER again. I had to take out most of the rear boot trim and front piller trims because the headliner went down inside there. The headliner was so thin and the boot was so small. We had to fold it to remove it. We managed to get the creases out but it was never perfect. Never broke any clips though.

[@davidker7256]

Cracking job on the video and editing. Getting better and better aiden Rory. Loving the weekly content

[@Ryoneftw]

Definitely my favorite series of the channel. Loving the Wheeler Dealers vibe to it and I can't wait to see your face when you finally make it to the Porsche 993. Cast couldn't be more on point as well. Keep it going!

[@13harward]

Well done Alex! 🙌 You did a thing, and you did it well too! The headlining looked great afterwards, nice job. 🤝

[@-Lucky-Six-]

honestly, i just fkin love wednesdays. i have 1 1/2 hr drive home from work...new podcast drops, get home have something to eat and settle down to latest sheeeeenanigans from you boys love it..!

I'm so glad you are continuing with this series!

[@PavelIsp]

I'm so glad this is back, series on Alex's channel are like game of thrones, you never know which ones will make it :D

[@Habdabi]

I have a vag group car and I need to know, did the paint shop paint over the paint, or was it sanded? I need to know as it looks great!!

[@wildatlanticcars8789]

I know Josh had pain with the bumper clips near the front wing and the AC hoses on the front. The worst part of those headliners are the B and C pillar plastic trims, good job on not busting them

[@Nyatro]

YES!! I've been so excited for this series to return! Can't wait for the next episode!

[@dwaynne_way]

A day working in the garage with you looks like a right laugh 😂 you should always be happy at work.

[@jooshy]

It’s the reason I do it!

[@BKHD8]

I literally just did this on my Acura TL and it wasn’t too bad even with the sunroof and it not being a wagon. Had to do the job twice because the original glue I used sucked so it started dropping in the summer sun after 1 day installed. Used 3M for the second go and it’s been up no issues.

[@dadcars]

Great to see the S4 again 🙌 had you retrofitted isofix it would have sold for £8500 easy 😉

[@covel9000]

as audi a4 b7 owner who also has saggy headliner, I like this!

[@kylepasta]

As a b5 s4 owner w/saggy

[@mohnnadmercedes8246]

Any sagging headliner makes you want to fix it coz you think its eh too easy but its gonna bite you deeply as soon as you start working on it

[@GentilsGarage]

Love it, reminds me when I changed the headliner on my e36 coupe. A real pain. Btw Alex, Maisie could also have a Autoalex bandana 😊

[@JellyLancelot]

The vibes you guys have as a team are so good, love it

[@TheSorrow21]

We need to see more Josh, I love that dude! Hell, we need to see more of you guys anytime anywhere!

[@Miniputt_999]

Good job Alex, redoing the headliner is indeed a time consuming task. Did it on my 95' golf wich had a sunroof and grey color headliner, i was miserable for 3 days doing it xD Always enjoy the videos you post, have a good one :D

[@nigelbond4056]

At least there’s now a grownup there to keep Alex, Rory and Taylor in check. Well done Josh. It’s a tough job but somebody’s got to do it 🤣

[@4xSr]

Wow. I'm guessing the whole team is growing, also the ones we don't see with how fast videos are coming out. Keep it up.

[@honda4185]

Why KN filter gives u moore power is thanks to it is letting moore air flow thro it and it don't filter the air as good as orginal ones just so u know.! A trick to modern up the interior and make it nicer to look at is with light is to put Led lights in it. Great video 👍

[@Man_v_Cars]

Did this to my X-Type Jag saloon 3 months ago, nightmare. I ended up scraping the old foam off, lightly sanding it down then painting it black to match the interior. Job done.

[@The_Real_Persian_Fox]

You should do a £2000 pickup truck challenge

[@metalbarrendirk9572]

It's probably too late but the secret compartment in the center of the rear seats is for the first aid kit. Audi made special ones to fit inside there

[@cafe405]

Great episode. Really enjoyed that. Nice variation from a buying or adventure one.

[@lespaulguitarman24]

Alex, I think we can all agree that the real star of the series is Maisie, and she needs more treats and credit in these videos

[@AK.2425]

[@skinheads]

Lovely jubbly, new MAF sensor on it's way after fitting that shite

What's up with this channel, getting all the fun and enjoyable mechanics? 😂 Josh's a good add to the team

[@naikjoy]

I absolutely love it! This longer video format where its like a whole episode with substantial progress done to a car where there's ample stuff to look at but not too much that u get bored of it is purfect

[@TheDJLogy]

Should have invited ethan from car throttle to come and do the headlining after his "Great" job on the GTI...

[@5harp3y]

Great video and excellent cameo from Taylor, amazing how much hard work he put into this one

[@wil6817]

Love the fact that the whole draw of the tool chest was just hammers

[@bmwnut535]

Did the headlining on my E34 saloon, and if you get the right angle, it comes out easily.....getting it back in again is another story 😂 Also start from the center length wise, so you won't have the creases as Alex did.

[@warwickritch]

Please keep this going. Your channel has great variety. You have a great team too 😁👍🏻

[@Sam-yh7wt]

Alex and the guys are so relatable when it comes to working on cars yourself, they’re all so riddled with ADHD that they get bored and give up and start pulling silly faces through the roof lining. I’d do the same. 😆😆

After watching 16 years worth of Mighty Car Mods, it feels like most car KZbinrs are just copycats of them. At least some have unique personalities like Alex & crew to make them stand out.

[@leeevernden]

I will automatically drop a like on all videos featuring Maisy

[@asciimation]

I am not saying it's a good idea but I replaced my Disco 1 headlining with grey polar fleece. It worked surprisingly well. At least on the second attempt using high temperature glue. It's very stretchy and you don't need the foam. When people ask I tell them it's lined in Muppet hide.

[@slartybartfast666]

I can only imagine the amount of rattles, squeaks and vibrations in that cabin after Alex's re-fit of that interior! Like an army of mice in a biscuit tin Factory

[@PresidentCamacho2024]

thanx, the headliner on my civic aerodeck is sagging, and this motivated me enough to try and fix it myself ;)

[@PresidentCamacho2024]

then again, i might just take it out, and let a company flog it.
