Thanks for the comments Castro, appreciate the feedback. Pulling the engine and tearing it apart was not an option for this young kid. We just wanted to help get the motor cleaned up the best we could. Leaving it alone was not an option, so we went through a series of flushes to restore it. The results have been very good and the engine seems to be doing great. Be sure to check out the follow up video here - ua-cam.com/video/XFsHnrt0l3w/v-deo.html Cheers!

Thanks for the comments Ted, we are using the older generation Craftsman 3/8" digital torque wrench. www.sears.com/craftsman-3-8-8221-dr-25-250-in-lb-torque-wrench-24t/p-A102532187 We just picked up a spare, since I didn't even realize Sears.com was still around and it was too cheap to pass up. Cheers!

Thanks for the comments Billy, hard to know exactly how many miles since the last oil change but definitely seems like way more than 6k miles. We are thinking more like 12-15k miles sine the last oil change based on what the internals look like. He has had it since around 30k and claimed to have changed the oil 4-5 during this period. I'm sure the cheap oil changes at Jiffy Lube did not help the situation. Be sure to check out the follow up video here - ua-cam.com/video/XFsHnrt0l3w/v-deo.html Cheers!

Thanks for the comments, there are probably not enough out there that are religious with their maintenance. Hopefully we have done enough to salvage the motor. We have been very happy with our $500 Lexus ES330 purchase, both the 1MZ-FE & 3MZ-FE V6 are very reliable motors. Plus the cars are super cheap, so you can find some good deals out there.

Thanks for the comments, they have their moments for sure. We enjoy the driving experience you get from Euro cars. American, Korean and Japanese just don't offer that same level of refinement. And trust us, they have other repair issue items that are even worse than door handles. it really comes down to what you like and if the driving experience matter to you. Cheers!

Thanks for responding & your video was very helpful. I just wish they would have better build quality with the prices they charge! The handle shouldn't be flimsy plastic & the way to remove it should be simplified if they do want to make it so difficult even their own techs don't want to do the job they just tell you to get a whole door panel lol & you are right I do love my '06 x5 I haven't owned it long enough to know the headaches repairs will bring me along the way but it rides & drives great for now & good power for a 6cyl I was told the v8 was fun but less reliable! Looking forward to more of your videos as I attempt to keep these things on the road as long as I can

Thanks for the comments, it seems like he was still trying to act smart even though he's the one that got us into this mess in the first place. He didn't want to be on camera, guess he was a little embarrassed, that's why he never even took off his sunglasses. 😎 Hopefully he has learned the importance of routine maintenance and will take of things moving forward. Cheers!

Thanks for the comments, they aren't as common as they are in Europe but we did get a few diesels here in the states. They have been great cars and still get 40 MPG even after the reflash from VW. Stay tuned for Part 2 later this week. Cheers!

Thanks for the suggestions, there are a variety of possibilities you can do with this cabinet. It really come down to personal preference and what mods make sense for you. Thanks again for hanging out. Cheers!

Thanks for the kind words Donald, this was just too good of a deal to pass up. Stay tuned for Part 2 later this week. Cheers!

Thanks for the suggestion Todd, it just doesn't seem like there is enough oil flowing in the cylinder head to fully remove all that sludge. It was caked on pretty bad so without proper flow it would just sit there. We decided to try to remove everything we could by hand to help reduce all that from moving about in the motor.

Sorry to hear that David, it sounds like the starter may not be fully seated into the transmission housing. If you are confident the clutch pack and throw-out bearing were installed correctly, then the misaligned starter is all that we can think of. Get the front wheels off the ground and check the transmission movement. Does everything rotate freely with the transmission in neutral? How about if you put it in gear, does everything still rotate without any funny sounds? Let us know, Cheers!

Thanks for the comments Orlando, we could not pass up a $1k deal, even if it needed a new motor we would be okay with the investment. Stay tuned for Part 2 this week. Cheers!

Not sure what type of oil Jiffy Lube uses but it cannot be that good of quality at those prices. Hopefully we have done enough to salvage the motor. Be sure to check out the follow up video here - ua-cam.com/video/XFsHnrt0l3w/v-deo.html Cheers!

Thanks for the kind words Chris, glad you enjoyed the video. We just posted the 3k mile update video if you haven't checked it out yet - ua-cam.com/video/QrJ0B-KXTw0/v-deo.html Cheers!

Thanks for the comments John, our goal was to have him change his own oil after getting things cleaned up. Be sure to check out the follow up video here - ua-cam.com/video/XFsHnrt0l3w/v-deo.html Cheers!

Thanks for sharing Roger, he has been going there for the past 30k miles so we are not sure what work has actually been done. Hopefully we have done enough to salvage the motor.

That makes sense, I'm sure if you car suddenly dies, you would sit there and crank it over and over since it wouldn't really make any sense. Stay tuned for part 2 coming this week. Cheers!

Thanks for the comments Paul, we performed some additional flushes in our follow up video. Cheers!

Thanks for the comments Tony, he is extremely grateful that we are teaching him how to perform the routine maintenance on his car. It seems he can finally appreciate the value in doing these on time. We are always trying to help our the younger generation, hopefully this sticks with him. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing, we will continue to monitor this Kia to be sure it's running good. Be sure to check out the follow up video here - ua-cam.com/video/XFsHnrt0l3w/v-deo.html Cheers!

Thanks for the question, as long as you are using Mann Filter # PU8008 for the 2012-2014 TDI, you should be good. The 2015 TDI uses Mann Filter # PU8028, so be sure they didn't send you the wrong one. Cheers!

We were also surprised that Jiffy Lube actually looked under the oil cap before starting any work. They must have been sued before for engine damage and are not taking on any liability in the future. The funny thing is that is where he has been taking his car for the past 30k miles. So we are not sure if they skipped a few oil changes here and there. Thanks again for the comments, Cheers!

Thanks for the comments, we will continue to monitor it to see how it does. Be sure to check out the follow up video here - ua-cam.com/video/XFsHnrt0l3w/v-deo.html Cheers!

Thanks for the comments Tony, we agree 100%. Hopefully Jake has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance on his car. Be sure to check out the follow up video here - ua-cam.com/video/XFsHnrt0l3w/v-deo.html Cheers!

Thanks for the comments, we just wanted to test out the other additives on this motor. We just posted the 3k mile update video if you haven't checked it out yet - ua-cam.com/video/QrJ0B-KXTw0/v-deo.html Cheers!

Thanks for the comments Glenn, appreciate the feedback. We will continue to add a little in each oil change until the oil filter is clean after 3k miles. We just posted the 3k mile update video if you haven't checked it out yet - ua-cam.com/video/QrJ0B-KXTw0/v-deo.html Cheers!

Thanks for the question David. We chose to use a T under the lower door flap so we can unscrew the drain plug to remove the old blast media. It's less mess than opening the door flap but you can definitely use an elbow instead. It comes down to personal preference on what you'd like to use. Good luck on you blast cabinet project. Cheers!

Thanks for the comments Doug, we will give that a try on our next Sludge Factory project. Be sure to check out the follow up video here - ua-cam.com/video/XFsHnrt0l3w/v-deo.html Cheers!

Thanks for the comments, appreciate the tip on the wiring harness. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers!
