After a little time off with Manflu, we're back 👊😆

Now what do we have here? Audi A5 that's had a load of work and now doesn't boost correctly .....

We're here today to see what's actually been done to the car and let me let you into a secret ..... It's shockingly s**t 😳

A garage we've 'black balled' due to rubbish work as worked on this vehicle, before part cannoning the vehicle they had it mapped. This video is after our diagnostic and we're taking the ECU out to see what f**kery has been done .... We were shocked l, but that's for the next video ...

Stay posted ....

What do you think has been done with this Audi ?

Man flu 🤧 Today were on 10% brain power, this should help

So this happened and stopped playing today 😭 - Remember, anything can happen at any time, parts don't last forever.....

Now to 'smoke' the peace pipe , whosnl up for a chuff🤣

There’s always a mission on… and today was no different 👀

We picked up an extra passenger…
A set of split face wheels.

Well…
3 and ¾ wheels to be exact 🤦‍♂️

One had clearly lost a fight with a roundabout… and lost badly.

Enter…
👑 The Ginger Tyre King AKA Brad’s Tyres

He took one look…
Laughed. Proper belly laugh.

And to be fair… we don’t blame him 😂

But here’s the thing…
We don’t deal in “that’ll do” fixes.

So we called in a man of legend status…

⚒️ Lee from Banded Steels

A man who doesn’t just repair wheels…
He re-engineers reality.

Heat. Precision. Experience.
This isn’t guesswork… this is craft.

That wheel?
About to be brought back round like a perfect clock face 🕰️

And once Lee’s worked his magic…

It’s straight back to the throne of the Ginger Tyre King 👑

To be finished off properly…
Like a fine dining experience 🍽️

With a full set of fresh Pirelli tyres all round.

Now here’s the real question…

These wheels are looking serious…

But what are they going on? 👀

Follow along…
Because this one’s building into something special 🔥

UNFIXABLE? – PART 2 - Caddy Madness🚐⚡

Right…
**Are you ready for Part 2?**

Because even for us…
👉 *this one was a rollercoaster.*

Good job we had **Car Jesus on the case**, biscuits stocked up 🍪 and caffeine levels dangerously high ☕
Time to get stuck into what was meant to be…

👉 *“just sort my wipers…”*

---

**THE REALITY?**

This is hands down one of the best examples of:
👉 **too many chefs in the kitchen.**

A *simple fault*…
turned into **FOUR separate issues.**

But as always…
👉 *we got it done.*

---

# # # 🔍 WHAT WE FOUND…

Vehicle comes back in on a booked slot so we can properly dig in.

First step: confirm the fault.
Out comes the **Launch X431** ✔️
👉 Signal fault to the wiper motor confirmed.

*“It’s only one wire…”*
How hard can it be? 😏

---

# # # ⚠️ STRIP DOWN TIME…

We get access to the wiper motor…

…and just stop.

Look at each other…

👉 *“Ah… here we go…”*

The wiring loom had turned into what can only be described as:
**an electrical tape chrysalis 🐛**

We were *hoping* it would turn into a butterfly…

It didn’t.

---

# # # 🔧 DIGGING DEEPER…

Definitely **not factory wiring.**
So…
👉 *crack it open.*

Cut wires. Rejoins.
Previous “repairs” 🙃

Multimeter out — because at this point the diagnostic tool is about as useful as a
👉 **chocolate fireguard.**

---

# # # 📞 CUSTOMER CHAT…

Customer says:
👉 *“Only replaced the motor… and one wire…”*

So now we’re thinking…
**Is it even the right motor?**

---

# # # ⚡ TESTING…

Signal wire check…

👉 **12V… constant.**

Right… that’s not right.

Now we’ve got more questions than answers.

---

# # # 🔁 BACK TO BASICS

Wiring diagrams out.
Back to the fuse box.

Remember from Part 1?
👉 **Water damage.**

Corrosion ✔️
Green/blue crust ✔️
Terminal damage ✔️

Diagnosis:
👉 **Fuse box = dead.**

Battery?
👉 Sitting at **19%**… brilliant 🙃

---

# # # 🔄 ROUND 2…

Next day.

Fresh start.
Fully charged battery 🔋
New fuse box installed.

Confidence levels high 😎

---

# # # 😐 THEN…

Back at the wiper motor…

👉 No battery voltage
👉 No command from BCM

Now it’s just getting weird.

---

# # # 👀 PLOT TWIST…

We’re sat in the van…

Look in the back…

👉 Another BCM staring at us.

Customer:
👉 *“Yeah… that’s a spare one I was going to fit…”*

---

# # # ⚠️ REAL TALK…

Modules aren’t LEGO.

Just because it *fits*
doesn’t mean it *works.*

👉 Most need coding
👉 Most need configuration
👉 Most will cause MORE problems if you guess

---

# # # 🧠 THE FIX…

Donor BCM installed ✔️
Coded correctly ✔️

👉 Signal restored.

YESSS 🙌

---

# # # 😅 BUT WAIT…

Still no wipers…

---

# # # 🧵 FINAL PUSH…

Back to wiring diagrams
Back to that “repair”

A bit of **Car Jesus magic** ✨
(correct wiring, proper signal path…)

---

# # # ✅ DONE.

Wipers working.
Vehicle built back up.
Fully tested.

---

# # # ⏱️ REALITY CHECK…

👉 **11 hours… for ONE wire.**

And people wonder why diagnostics isn’t “just plug it in” 🤣

---

# # # 💬 LESSON HERE?

“Second hand”
“New to you”

👉 is NOT new.

You are **guaranteed problems** at some point.

Add in a few DIY attempts before it reaches us…

👉 and you get THIS.

---

Nightmare job.
**Proper result.**

---

Follow for real diagnostics.
No guesswork. No shortcuts. Just results.

**UNFIXABLE?**

The BMW gives us a little *ping*…

🚨 Tyre pressure warning light

---

Then… out of nowhere…

🎶 *“Brad’s the king of the gingers… a Rossendale VIP…”* 🎶

Well… we took that as a sign 😅

---

Next thing you know…

👉 Bacon butty in hand
👉 On the road
👉 Heading straight to Brad’s

Because if you’re turning a bad situation into a win…
you may as well do it properly 🤣

---

We pull up at **Brad's Tyres**

Brad gets straight to it.

---

👉 Tyres checked
👉 Fault found
👉 One tyre needed replacing

Good job we landed there when we did…

---

But here’s the bit most people don’t know 👇

Running a tyre low on air and just “topping it up” over and over?

❌ Not harmless
❌ Not a temporary fix
❌ Definitely not smart

---

What actually happens:

👉 The tyre overheats
👉 Internal structure breaks down
👉 Leaves that tell-tale **black dust residue**

Once that happens… it’s game over for that tyre.

Even if it *looks* fine from the outside 👀

---

And yes…

This applies to:
👉 Brand new tyres
👉 Older tyres
👉 Your daily driver

---

Run flats?

Different story… but also more expensive 💸
So knowing the difference matters.

---

Massive shout to Brad for:
👉 Sorting us with 5 minutes notice
👉 Dropping knowledge while he worked
👉 Keeping us rolling

---

Oh… and while we were there…

Let’s just say…
we might’ve diagnosed something a bit unusual on another set of wheels 👀

---

🎥 Watch the video and see what we found…

---

Some problems give you warnings.
Ignore them… and they get expensive.
