How My Dumb Mistakes And Failures Can Save You Money, Time And Headaches On Your Next Automotive DIY Project00:00 - OPENIn my experience, the best way to learn what to do (and what not to do) on any DIY project is to get advice from those who have actually done it before, and today you're going to hear about a major DIY project I did on my 2008 Audi that dragged on for more than 5-months because I wasn't properly prepared and backed into it. 01:25 - INTRONot everyone feels comfortable working on their own car, but if you're motivated to try, you could start with something simple, like an oil change or a coolant swap.

My latest DIY Project was different though - not in terms of difficulty, but in terns of scope. It was a project that was going to require a lot more time and a lot more effort than I had planned on.02:45 - My 2008 Audi S4 Avant DIY ProjectAfter noticing some oil drops under my 2008 Audi S4 wagon, I decided it was time to do an engine reseal, replacing various gaskets and hoses that were leaking.
