Youtube's most relatable diy mechanic returns to our screens, and leaves us wondering if his wife might be the most patient person to have ever lived. Good luck with the projects, and the baby, Nino!

What I love about this is that I identify so much with the:<br><br>* upside down<br>* knee on the tiny stone<br>* arms turning to noodles<br>* mental exhaustion<br>* physical exhaustion<br>* breaking stuff I'm trying to fix<br>* frustration<br>* distracted<br>* taking 3x times as long as I thought<br><br>I feel for you mate.<br>Bang up Job.

Just a suggestion, when you have seized bolts, once they start to move, go backward forward in small amounts to help clean and free the threads, don’t just keep undoing.

I'm a qualified mechanic and would say you did very well indeed. I do this stuff at home too and can identify with your pain, especially the rain! and of course the pleasure in the end. What I would say for those doing it at home you spend a lot of money on tools for the job. Over the years more than the secondhand car. awesome

Step 1 - remove the entire car from around the clutch.<br><br>Glad to see you didn't get far with the DPF cleaner. You really should back flow them with the cleaner or it can push the crap even further into the filter.

I stopped buying VW's a few years back, everyone gave me trouble. I bought a Honda and haven't had any problems.

You should get you some 12x12 wood blocks to throw under car. That car come off them stands and new bady might not have a Daddy. Get some old rims welded together.. throw them under car. Just some back up working on your own.

I've subscribed - I'm a petite lass in her 30s and prone to mechanics taking the piss; lately they claimed nothing was wrong with my sinking brake pedal. So decided to take matters into my own hands and replaced the servo, master cylinder, hoses, and now on the mammoth task of replacing my ABS only to be stopped by.... some plastic clips I can't remove. Just two ridiculous clips on a ratchet device and I cant get the buggers to move. It's the smallest things that get you every time!

The moment he celebrates and all the stress leaves the body en the pure rush of joy enters your body when everything works and you are not sure why it all worked but it did and you feel so good and proud of your achievement, a moment of pure exctacy and fulfilment just for yourself was so great to see on camera for another person. Great job madlad keep on going!!!
