    Suggestions on my detailing shopping list

    Didn't get the brushes in the end, maybe will in the future but my turbo is being replaced next week so would rather not spend any more :D Anyway all the new cleaning products turned up and due to the weather I haven't had chance to give the car a clean. Quickly cleaned the windows and applied...

    Suggestions on my detailing shopping list

    Suggestions on my detailing shopping list

    Slightly more than I'm willing to spend! I may look at getting a dual action polisher in the future, not sure I can use one due to having carpal tunnel syndrome and the vibrations may cause me to cry like a baby haha

    Suggestions on my detailing shopping list

    Have looked at various polishing machines and read a few mixed reviews. General consensus that if you don't know what your doing with one you will probably make things worse. Main reason for the snow foam was because I need to buy a pressure washer for the patio/drive! But then again the snow...

    Suggestions on my detailing shopping list

    I have had my black 2003 Audi A3 for almost 4 years now and while it still looks good when cleaned I have noticed many swirl marks appearing and many light scratches from idiots in car parks! :ermm: My previous cleaning strategy has been: - Rinse the car with the hosepipe - Wash each panel...

    Airbag error - 01218 - Connector inside the seat?

    Very quiet alarm siren

    I opened up my old one where the battery had leaked, looks like the siren runs at 5v tempted to get a 5v relay and hook a 12v 115db siren up to the working module! Should only cost £10-15 to do! Trying to decide if it's worth the hassle.

    Very quiet alarm siren

    I was getting an error code about not being able to communicate with the alarm siren so bought one off eBay. After clearing that code it hasn't come back but the new siren is VERY quiet, almost impossible to hear. I assume something isn't right here? I read on the forum that it's quiet but at...

    Really dim dipped headlights

    Done a fair bit of reading, oh man so many posts on here 'use the search button'! Anyway, as much as I would like some DRL style headlights with LEDs the options are quite limited 1) As much as I would like xenon lights after driving a leon around for a few weeks with them, I don't fancy...

    Odometer from kilometers to miles

    Hi My odometer has switched back to kilometers, I have bought a ross tech cable to correct this amongst other things. I have figured out that in VCDS I would probably need to go to 17-Instruments then to CODING Now this is where I am a little stuck, I am assuming I need to change the country...
