Unfortunately for me yes they are. New one is £1000
Ouch, that's an expensive panel.
You don't realise this when you buy the car, you just assume the extra power, bigger brakes and the badge warrant the extra money. When you have to find new parts you start to realise what you've bought and why it cost so much.

@deanshaw24 awesome work getting it stripped down, I imagined it would have been a lot worse, but it’s not to bad at all. Can’t wait for the next video to see how your progressing. Keep up the good work. x
xMy mate said that as well, out of interest did you watch it on a phone? I’ve just watched it off my phone and the sound levels seem okay. I will test it on the next one though Thankyou
I cast it to my TV and found the volumes to be a bit better on the 2nd and 3rd episode, but you have placed the music over your voice a couple of times, albeit for a very short time.
But you can't be expected to get it perfect straight away, and most of us are watching for the development of the car, not your editing skills.

Yes for some reason it’s when it’s cast to a tv, as listening on a phone works fine. So not sure how to adjust that? Yeah I forgot to remove the camera noise a few times, noticed too late. But I can confirm I’ve never edited a thing in my life, so I’m still learning what the software can do, but hopefully it will improve! I’m still filming of my iPhone as well! Need to get a proper camera.
I watched it on my iPhone and the only thing I would say is that the music is a lot louder than when you’re talking, you can hear the music fine but then when you start talking I had to raise the volume a little.
As someone else said though it’s all about your project, I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen so far and to be honest I personally couldn’t really care less about the music etc. If you’re planning on doing it with future builds etc then I suppose it’s something to iron out. But carry on doing what you’re doing, I enjoy watching it.

you bought a whole steering rack just to replace the inner tie rod?
the part number is 1K0423810A, lemforder do them for around £20.

edit- just seen the reply on your video, that dealership are donuts.
https://audi.7zap.com/en/rdw/audi+rs3+sportback/rs3/2012-720/
if it happens again, get the oem part numbers from there, throw them into a site like autodoc to get the aftermarket equivs and go from there

I reckon he can break that steering rack into separate parts and get his £60 back.
Much better video with the music/editing side, I think you have it just right on this video.
Keep it up, looking forward to the next video.

Yeah I should have known really! My mistake! I would normally have stripped it before I order parts, but I wanted to film it all in one so ended up buying a rack
Cheers mate!! Slowly getting better I hope ha!
It's brilliant, Dean, no worries.
I note you car didn't have the 47i6 front brake discs/calipers/directional brake pads/Requill resonators, upgrade - easy to spot as the 47i6 upgrade had the Requill resonators fitted to the caliper, like so:
Update-Code: 47i6
Released: 2. April 2013
Vehicules: RS3 und TTRS, alle MJ
Countires: all
Description: on complaint
a) brake caliper and pads: 8P0 698 996
b) brake disks: 8P0 615 301 B
Not that these Requill resonators (see thumbnail #2) were of any use in reducing the low speed brake squeal - mine are still on the garage shelf. Best solution is either the Mintex self-adhesive anti-squeal shim or the Brembo/Mitsubishi stainless steel shim (see thumbnail #3) - why Audi haven't bothered to use this I've zero idea, but onward with your superbly recorded rebuild videos, very much appreciated...
The noise levels are different but lets be honest it's your first attempt and most of us (me included) wouldn't even know how to edit the stuff together.
It's not a big deal as i've just watched your 3rd video on the laptop.
Keep em coming, it's interesting.
Hopefully I’ll get to find out if I have brake squeal very soon!It's brilliant, Dean, no worries.

and also if the gearbox is fine hahaI think I have the noise levels sussed now, just have to reduce the music and increase my voice levels. Part 5 will be going live tomorrow! It’s been a busy week so haven’t had much chance to work on the car this week.

‘Lots of parts’ = lots of dosh
Can’t wait for the carbon wings resolution.
Anyway good luck with the repair.
