BUGATTIS LOOP HOLE STOPS ME REBUILDING MY VEYRON

The video begins with an update on the Bugatti Veyron, which was acquired in a previous main channel video. The car is currently in pieces, and a previous diagnosis revealed a blown fuse caused by an aftermarket 40-amp fuse replacing a 25-amp fuse, which nearly caused a fire. The car also has a suspected misfire due to secondary air pumps and a leaky radiator. The main challenge is acquiring parts, as Bugatti previously refused to sell parts for a Chiron due to safety concerns about external repairs. However, the Veyron is a complete car, and there's hope Bugatti will supply parts for it. The plan is to call Bugatti to inquire about parts, as this would significantly simplify the build. Other unresolved issues for the Veyron include missing original wheels, a missing speed key, and general servicing needs. Next, the G Wagon, which had electrical issues, has been fixed by Mercedes. The problem was traced to an aftermarket fuse and a random diode installed in the ABS line, causing various warning lights. Mercedes initially misdiagnosed it as an ABS pump issue but eventually found the aftermarket wiring. Although fixed, the G Wagon now has new faults: the steering wheel adjustment for up and down movement is stuck, a common problem for Mercedes if not regularly used. The proposed fix involves extending the steering wheel, pulling the switch down, and hitting the top of the wheel to unseize the motor. Additionally, the passenger-side window switch is faulty, only working from the driver's side master switch. A new switch has been ordered for this. The team attempts to fix the G Wagon's steering column by disassembling the trim, lubricating the mechanism with WD-40, and applying the "Mercedes fix" of whacking it. This successfully frees the motor, and the steering wheel's up and down adjustment is restored. For the window switch, a "magic solution" involving special cleaning liquid and a brush is applied to the old switch, and surprisingly, it begins to work, making the ordered new switch unnecessary. Liam's Audi R8 is also being stripped for modifications, and Kian from Keezy Customs is involved in changing its color. Liam has chosen a "crazy" pink wrap, a decision that elicits mixed reactions, with some suggesting it looks like a "bird's car." The focus then returns to the Bugatti Veyron. The team aims to create a comprehensive list of parts needed to restore the car to perfection. They suspect the car has never been serviced, leading to many of its current issues. They have already addressed the melted fuse box by fabricating a replacement using parts from a Urus and the original Bugatti fuse box. The goal is to minimize custom "bodges" and order as many original parts as possible from Bugatti to maintain the car's increasing value. Upon inspection, the Veyron's current wheels are not the originals; the original wheels and tires are specially designed for high speeds and are very expensive to replace. The current tires are Lamborghini-spec Pirelli P Zeros, which are not suitable for the Veyron's top speed. The underside of the car shows rust on bolts, particularly the arch lining bolts, which the team decides to add to the parts list for replacement after ice blasting. A critical issue is a damaged drive shaft boot with a gaping hole, indicating grease loss and potential damage to the CV joint. While they plan to order a new boot, they anticipate Bugatti might only sell it as part of a complete drive shaft, which would be extremely expensive. Other minor issues include perished brake cooling tubes and damaged undertray bolts. The radiator has a small leak that the team hopes to repair rather than replace. Research into Bugatti servicing reveals a major service costs £20,000 and involves numerous tasks, including changing fluids in the Howex system and front differential, and gearbox oil and filter changes. They also note that Bugatti service technicians use paint markers on sump plugs to indicate torquing, and the current Veyron only has one mark, suggesting minimal servicing. Spark plugs are reportedly "lifetime" parts, but the gearbox pump and accumulators are replaced during major services, as they are prone to overheating or leaking, which can lead to pump overwork and pressure loss. The team adds these to their potential parts list. Minor interior and exterior trim issues, such as a missing door trim and a damaged bonnet badge, are also noted. The comprehensive list of needed parts includes: full set of arch lining bolts, front drive shaft boot, undertray bolts, right-hand side lower door storage trim, under bonnet fabric trim, front Bugatti emblem, and a major service kit. The team attempts to contact Bugatti for parts. Bugatti London does not answer, but Bugatti Manchester is reached. However, the parts department informs them that any parts ordered must be fitted on-site by Bugatti, and the car cannot be taken away for external servicing. This means the car would be "trapped" at Bugatti, incurring astronomical costs. The only exception seems to be the speed key, which is missing and essential for unlocking the Veyron's full 1001 horsepower and top speed. Bugatti confirms they can order the speed key and perform the necessary coding on-site for about an hour. Despite the high cost, this is deemed a necessary purchase as the speed key cannot be outsourced or replicated. Finally, Liam's pink Audi R8 is revealed, featuring a satin pink wrap, new satin silver wheels, and a new aggressive carbon front splitter. The G Wagon is also announced to be leaving the collection through a competition, as the owner didn't develop an attachment to it. The G Wagon, valued at over £100,000, is offered as a prize for £9.95 per ticket, with additional cash prizes for second and third place.
