  • Great info and good clear videos and explanations - thanks guys! I have an A6 C5 and although I have a great specialist tech to work on the car, it's so hard to get any decent help for DIY stuff, so your efforts are greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work!!

  • Thanks very much for this video. I spent ages looking for this dam sensor in my '03 vw Passat. Even vw didn't even know where it was..... Once I saw this video I found the sensor and unplugged/replugged it and boom, ESP light went out. Problem solved.....

  • Just wanted to say massive thanks for the headlining removal video. I wasn't quite sure if I really wanted to spend nearly a tener on a video. It didn't seem like it was worth it. I thought to myself now how hard could it be?! However I couldn't have been more wrong. Your video was absolutely outstanding. The detail in it the speed of the filming, everything about it made the whole process so much easier. There's absolutely no way I could have removed all of my headlining and all the pillars without your amazing video. It took the best part of the day to take out because I did it slowly. But it got it out and I took it to the retrimmers and now I have brand new SuperDuper headlining and pillars! Thanks again for your great work. Please use this as a testimonial. Best regards Andy

  • So pleased to have found your site! Have fixed a couple of small niggles, wobbly centre console and loose tailgate interior (yes, the light had been put in wrong way round by previous owner) now looking at more major jobs like the headlining. Many thanks for your clear and concise videos.

Genuine passion and respect to the proper tools and the usage of them, techniques, attitude, and safety for the tech, as well as for the vehicle. Can't say good enough about you guys. Many shared vids and recommendations for your channel I have given over the years and will continue to support however I can. Truly a blessing for the passionate enthusiast!

  • Just watched 'How to Change Timing Belt Cambelt & Water Pump - 2.0 TDI' Fantastic video - thank you!
    Mark Ablett
  • My C5 RS6 was at the Audi independent for months to have an engine and transmission out going through; rebuild turbos, upgrade gearbox, hoses, seals, etc…only to get it back and a month later develop a nasty exhaust manifold gasket leak which will require an engine out job again for a $40 gasket. So, I’ve purchased the video and needless to say that you’re my hero for making this, as I will tackle the job on my off days at home. Brilliant and good on you!

    Byron Buckett
  • Your videos are the sort that make it immediately clear I am watching a professional, but more importantly, a pro with that rare gift of being able to "see with beginner's eyes." In other words, having the ability to communicate everything clearly to someone who may not have ever seen any of the parts before, and to anticipate and explain those things that might throw off a less experienced person. Thank you!

MONTHLY

You can make a monthly donation via the crowdfunding platform Patreon. Your donation will help us to maintain Total Technik and continue to bring our viewers quality content!

Thank you! Every donation we receive goes directly towards supporting Total Technik and brings you more of the great content you love to watch!

The simple fact of the matter is that without the support of people who like to watch the content we produce (that’s you!) then Total Technik simply could not exist!

We take a lot of pride in what we do and we are wholly self-funded. We put in literally hundreds of work-hours in to the planning, filming, editing, uploading, procesing and marketing of our video content each year, all in the sincere hope that the content we produce will be enjoyable to our viewers, and - equally as importantly - save them money!

Regardless of whether you are able to donate $2 or $20,000 you are now officially a part of Total Technik, and a part in its future success.

Your donate will help to support:

 

  • Extended Model Coverage: Our goal is to continue to expand the Audi models that we cover in our video's, but of course this can be an expensive undertaking. Your donations will help finance new models to be covered by Total Technik!
  • Tools and Equipment: A necesity when taking cars apart, and we require both specialist tools and the steady replacement and upgrade of worn and broken equipment.
  • The Total Technik Team: Dedicated to bringing you quality content and sharing our knowledge with you that has been gained through thousands of hours of working on cars, the Total Technik team is a well-oiled machine! Your donations will help keep a roof over our heads so that we can continue to produce great content and to bring in additional team members and support!
  • The Total Technik website: A website is a wonderful tool, but also costs money every month in hosting and application subscriptions, plus the cost of paying coders to implement any required upgrades. Your donations will help the website be as good as it can be!

 

We sincerely thank you for your generosity. Let’s hit the road....

Why should you donate to Total Technik?

The answer to that question cannot be answered by us as people kindly donate for various different reasons!

We know that some people donate as they appreciate the time, effort and expense that goes in providing our content - the majority of which is supplied completely free of charge - and want to continue to see more of our content in the future and so support us that way.

Other people balance the money saved against the money donated. For example, we recently had a guy who had had a quote for $650 for a repair, but instead used our video’s to undertake the work himself paying only $150 for the parts, and saving himself a pretty $450. He happily sent us a donation for $50 - around 10% of the money he saved. We exchanged emails later and he explained he did not see it as costing him $50, but rather saving him $400. We loved that response - it’s the real is the glass half full or half empty mindset - very zen!

Others are people who have been lucky enough in life that money is not of real concern and so that like to give a little back by supporting things that they like.

Other people are just genuinely kind and supportive and we’ll never know why - but we salute you regardless!

But don’t you make loads of money from the YouTube adverts? is a question we get asked a lot, and the unfortunate answer is no. You can make a lot of money on the YouTube platform if your video’s are getting millions of views, However, the content that we produce is very specialist and so we get relatively low hit numbers despite being one of the major Audi DIY channels on YouTube - check our our channel and the view numbers for yourself!

YouTube as an average pays around $1 every 1,000 views from advertising revenue. So even a popular video on YouTube with 10,000 views will generate just $10 average - not even covering the cost for the time involved to film, edit, upload and process each video.

So YouTube - as wonderful as it is - does not provide a sustainable living for Audi DIY video producers - unfortunately!!!

But with the support of our loyal and dedicated viewers Total Technik can continue to bring you quality content - and we genuinely hope - help save you money along the way!

Thank you for your support and joining us on our journey!
