This Junk $3,000 Audi TT came with a broken engine mount that took out multiple parts because it was left neglected. We fix all of its mounts and brackets and then upgrade the suspension with a coilover setup from @FCP Euro

Are you going to get the front and rear aligned, since you are doing a lot of the suspension.
When ever, your trying to remove a bolt that won't break loose " you heat the bolt , until it's red hot, Then drop the part in a bucket of water. ( As a teenager, a old man, that owned a junk yard showed me that "trick" on a brake-bleeder . I've used that process for the past 25 yrs..
Being an ex vw guy who rebuilt his vr6, watching what parts you put in your car makes me cringe
If you will use Gibbs has the penetrating oil, and let it sit overnight or even a day or two. And keep it soaked it will get into those folks better than almost anything I've ever seen. It will soak into a millionth of an inch. Not only that you can actually spray it on something and wipe the item down and paint it without cleaning it off and the paint will adhere to the item. I've seen it used for bringing under hood engines back to looking like Nearly New. I used it on one vehicle tour almost 200,000 miles and if you clean off the engine it literally looked like it was less than 3 months old. It's a great product.
Do not oh, do not, do not, forget to put anti seize on the bolts that you put back into that stupid bracket. If you had drilled that out and put a helicoil in it with some Loctite you could have still saved the old bracket. I don't know what you were using to try and keep that up with but it should have been an oxy-acetylene, not a propane torch. Propane will not get it warm enough quick enough to cause it to break loose from the bolt.
Furthermore I'd like to give you the difference between an Audi, especially a TT, or an R8 or R-10, and a porcupine.
A porcupine has its Pricks on the outside!
Please tell me you aren't removing things with the torque wrench? Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh
Silver TT roadster is a 1.8 you can tell by the single exhaust which means it's not a Quattro either.
Hit a deer recently. Same mount exploded in my engine bay. Wasted a lot of time looking for oil leaks then found it. The fluid in it had me wishing a polyurethane unit was in production. Oh well. Mush on with the soft oem one I go
Another day at the Ranchette with Sam…
Love fcp euro I always use them
so next time just weld the mount to the bracket on the broke side
The TT is NOT quatro drive, Never was. It is all wheel, well kind of.
You should always support parts when putting in bolts that support weight it is a VERY BAD IDEA to use the bolt to lift parts as you tighten them
rumour has it sam has more cars than cows now
only 30% subscribe because you never seem to finish anything!..people want to see the end of the story…"The car was broken, this is what I did to fix it, Let's take for a drive!" ..People need the conclusion of the matter…your welcome. And your VERY wordy …get on with it!!
Use "Hagel's brew" (50% acetone / 50% atf) to loosen rusted bolts. This is a trick used by big rig/farm equipment mechanics.
Tap & Die that bolt!
WHAT year is this TT?
Your car was broken the day it rolled off the assembly line. Garbage over priced volksvagen
I could easily name many 6 pots' which sound a whole lot better than the R32. Before, during or after the R32's time. And I mean that engine in any car it was in.
And I've seen few things as dodgy as welding in an engine bay!
that was a studburn job

1.7 million subscribers, paid subscriptions, no lift, working on grass an aversion to spending money on a engine bracket…BUT $1100 coilovers !!! come on
to remove 'clamp' style strut to knuckle. to make removal easier drive a wedge into the slot of the knuckle (like a chisel) that will spread the knuckle mount slightly
what kind of fucktard uses a pipe on a ratchet????????????
I like this rebuild project Sam
Man I like yr programmes but please listen to me. You need to take this tip. You rattle on too much. Its exhasting and really detracts from the great content. Listen to prophesional presenters. And editirs. Pausing breathing over emphasising. Just relax a bit pause breath. Dont run yr sentences and words into each other. Otherwise its good.
Do you guys have "Euro Car Parts co"in the US?
You should have jacked the engine up on various points to release any weight forced onto the broken bolt…
I'm surprised you didn't just replace the bushing(s) in the lower engine mount with a poly bushing. Would have been a lot cheaper than replacing the whole thing. Everything else I would have done the same though!
These videos are getting hard to watch, because he spends more time advertising for the parts site than doing anything else…
TT is a you know what in tagalog
So at 1:21 it doesnt sound very great
It's funny how the sponsor segment was the thumbnail preview for this video rofl
Jack on a dirt. Why would you do that?
Nice Work on this Audi TT ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸÂ»
I've wondered about safety concerns with welding so close to engines……any fuel lines with even the slightest amount of leakage and BOOM?
When these cars go right, they really go right – & you can tell in Sam's voice. Compared to the hard time that Range Rover gave him, this TT has him sounding positively giddy – way to go, Sam!
Bilstein, say it, Bilstein, Bilstien.
I think you need to lower it more
couldnt you get a bracket from the breakers yard sam
Them tyres are dozed too scrap
Stop advertising those earpods they are the worst
Do you need a dealer's license to buy these cars at auction?
Easy out tool and a drill for broken bolts, broken off flush.
Video is very niceðŸ˜ÂÂ
Whatever happened to his Nissan Figaro?
