  • 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.....

  • 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!

  • Excellent thanks very much you've covered everything totally appreciated keep up the good work thank you

  • 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

  • Just changed the rear pads on my 2011 Passat following the steps in this video. I've never changed pads before on any car, but this video made it so easy. It also saved me a heap because I got the exact same Eicher pads as in the video for $14 on sale.Thanks Total Technik
    Steven Brogan
  • 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!
    Nader Afshari DDS
