Diagnosing a Coolant Leak with a Stant Coolant Pressure Tester

Two videos in a week! It must be a record for the channel. I decided to pop down to the workshop to prep for the weekend and I couldn’t stop myself from working not the cars and taking a quick video! 

This video will give you an insight of what will come next with the Audi RS5 but also go through hunting down a coolant leak in the LS Swapped RX-8. If you are ever worried about your cooling system it is worth investing in the right tools and I will give you a quick insight on how to use them!

Time to get serious!

The plan from here on out is to try and be good about recording, editing and uploading at least a video a week. In order to do that (and stand a chance of keeping up with things), it’s time to bring everyone up to speed with the garage 🙂

Quick intro to a couple of new vehicles and then updates on platforms you have seen before. After this I will feel good about going forward!

BMW E60 M5: Rod Bearings How To

This is a mammoth job! I purchased the kit from FCPEuro.com It was missing a gasket for the oil filter pickup (I really hope they include it in the future) but apart from that it was top notch. 

It’s not a complete how to video on the BMW M5 rod bearings but a time lapse of what is required. I know when I was thinking about doing this job I wasn’t really sure what I was getting myself in for. I wanted to create a video that would help someone understand what is involved to see if they wanted to do it. 

I also uncover how to set backlash correctly on the VANOS high pressure pumps. All of the videos and descriptions I found out there were very misleading and you might end up with too much backlash. Enjoy!
