Actually, thinking back to the install, this is correct. The battery pack only needed a switched live connection... so no need for the PMP functionality.
reading back.....that should have been pretty obvious, specifically the battery PACK bit....duh lol
You young man are a bad influence........you've made me buy one!
Now do I wire it in along with the PMP or can I remove that now? @Rob2k68
Again LoL
Remove the PMP and just leave the switched live fuse tap to the battery pack no need for the perm live.
fitted new LED front indicators to my 2014 8v, no orange bulb anymore. light looks much crisper

Waited to get it back since Monday but then found out they need to order parts to fix the rattle! Hopefully should be back tomorrow.
Obligatory courtesy / demo car pic in the meantime! It's actually quite nice!

Got a nice Audi case today. I'm really really impressed with the quality. Its up there with Samsonite luggage for quality. Nice design with pockets inside for wires etc...Think the seller was Dundee Audi, they seem to be selling lots of things off, this was only £20 delivered to Italy. quite a few other accessories on their eBay site, defo worth a look...

Here you go. Its actually Aberdeen Audi & not Dundee! Most items are on "best offer or buy it now". I sent a £15 offer on their £30 listing and it was accepted so it seems they are getting rid of stock. Not much left but worth a look.

Washed 2 weeks worth of road salt off. Looks better although it's forecast ice every night for the next week and possible snow on Thursday. So it'll soon be back to its dirty sate. As much as I like the cold, I do hate road salt and up north we get a lot of it on our roads
50 weeks after delivery and it turned 10k miles tonight.
However earlier today at 9995 miles, the low oil light came on. Having never checked it before it came as a surprise
.It’s due an oil service in 1200 miles so though I’d just get a litre bottle to top up from the dealer.
Went in at 5pm and waited on the parts guy to arrive, however I was clocked by the after sales manager who was straight over (dealt with him when the gearbox failed). Took the keys and said he’d take care of it and did I want the car washed, politely declined. 10 mins later the car was parked at the front door waiting on me.
Couldn’t fault the service,

Fitted a BCS Powervalve Resonator Delete Pipe to my FL 2.0TFSI. Was not expecting much of a change if I must be honest... and I was not wrong lol. Although my exhaust note has changed a little, inside the car its now quieter than it was with the resonator in place. Cannot tell if there is any difference from the outside, need to get someone to rev if while I am behind it I guess.
*not an issue with the pipe. Came off a Golf MK7.5 R and worked very very well while installed on that, ****** loud
Also had a fight with my Audi dealership of 7 years after they started to mess me around over warranty works. Amongst other things they had my car for more than 24 hours and could not find the following issues, which I recorded within 5 mins of getting home. According to my dashcam the Audi techs spent more time trying to find out where I got my shift paddles from then actually trying to diagnose legit issues lol
Clicking coming from front drivers side wheel area (Clicking at 7, 21 and 34 seconds):

Any London based dealership, that does not belong to Barons Group, want my personal warranty works and business referrals?

finally got around to washing it and put some Carpro Reload on it as the gtech liquid crystal i had put on last time was beading poorly.
no pics! ***..

Better weather comes fire on some EX03 Mate ye should have gone for it at the beginning OR get some Dodo Juice future armor l swear by this kit mate

Yeah my mate who did the gtechniq CSL wasn't a fan of the existing as he claimed it streaked? Will be putting it on spring time I reckon, or over Xmas when I can put the car away for a few days.
Try future armor..... Trust me it's awesome kit shines and beads as good as any EXO
I have to say I am a big fan of the Dodo Juice products... items like Future Armour, Red Mist and their Detailing Spray. Its not cheap stuff but can be used sparingly and provides stunning results.
Jungle
Sparingly is the key word mate, yeah av used red mist but it's not very forgiving if you don't buff off quickly..... I think they have a lighter version of it now
Part time ornament lolHit 4000 miles on the drive home from work this morning, had the car since 22nd March and it's my daily.
thats not a bad thing with the roads how they are pal
Damn I do like the look of the virtual cockpit, looks bad ***. Just don't know if I would find it distracting, plus I get headaches quite frequently and am sat in front of a screen all day so would be worried about that on the VC!
I have done nothing but look at my S3 today, and had a phone call from Audi UK, an unhappy woman asking why I did not want to speak with her after I spoke with somebody else and requested my case to be reassigned as she doesn't seem to like to respond to emails, call me when promised and is generally a nightmare to get hold of..
Collecting my carbon wing mirrors tomorrow though =)

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, I'm looking to buy an Unlimited VIN VCDS cable and software. Are there any forum members selling any as I'm looking at 450 from Ross tech sellers and really want to get it as cheap as a can, but genuine

Not exactly today but yesterday I gave it a good late night wash. Pretty hard to find the motivation for a hand wash when it's freezing cold and already dark when you get home from work

Thank you for the kind words sir! I must admit I kind of enjoyed it when I first got my well insulated ski pants and winter jacket on

Good prices £132 for AO Pzeros 235/35/19
Ignore the price but I'm looking to replace a set of my summer typres with an all season for a couple of months and from my existing tyre profile these seem to the the only option.
https://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/r...ite=10&Transport=P&dsco=110&sowigan=GAN&m_s=3
I've read some reviews and all seem good for this even though I've never heard of them. Anyone got recommendations for 235/35/r19s? I have searched and options are limited btw.
