    t8ups Xenon conversion done!

    Hi Mattkeating, Trups supplied the projector lenses and the HID kit suitable for my car, they are 6000k, not sure on the bulbs, I'm sure Trups can answer that one. Haven't had any problems with the wiper motor at all and I've used them a lot since they were installed. I think Trups has...

    t8ups Xenon conversion done!

    Trups worked his magic on my A3 8p halogen headlights just like Khanage, meant to get a thread up with pics but I've been super busy. The headlights look fantastic mate and so much more up to date. You wont miss the rubbish halogen light output, these HID xenons are amazing and throw out so...

    Urgent exhaust advice needed.

    I did exactly the same with my 2.0 TDI 170, removed the centre silencer and didn't really notice much noise unless I was on full boost. So I had the back box chopped off and a stainless steel pipe fitted almost from the cat all the way back. It does drone a little at certain speeds and is quite...

    Mine were starting to discolour so I vinyl wrapped them gloss black, got some Hexis vinyl off ebay for a tenner. Been on for about 8 months now and they still look sweet.

    Mystery Problem That Has Everyone Baffled

    Just wanted to say a massive thanks to Rick at Unicorn Motor Developments for fixing my car. I transported it up to him and he spent the week getting to the bottom of the issue. Turns out it was a wire relay fault and a few dodgy wires, but now its driving perfectly again. I wouldn't hesitate to...

    Can't we use these to fix our broken arm rest clips?

    Mine broke a few months ago, pinged off and nearly took my eye out. I googled this and I'm pretty sure the A4 and A3 are different parts. I was going to glue a little magnet on the base and a small washer on the lid to stop it from flopping open when you lift the armrest up, but haven't got...

    Mystery Problem That Has Everyone Baffled

    Hi Rick, the only problem now is when ever I turn the ignition on the warning lights come straight on. It wont start again for it to cut out. Its literally dead on my drive. I'm just going to have to get it towed somewhere

    Mystery Problem That Has Everyone Baffled

    Just thinking, recently I've been smelling what I thought was an exhaust smell from the inside of the car while I was driving. I wonder if it's connected?

    Mystery Problem That Has Everyone Baffled

    Thanks for your advice mate, I'll have a chat with the guy that mapped it and see what he says regarding this. It would be nice if it is as simple as the injectors just need adjusting.

    Mystery Problem That Has Everyone Baffled

    This did cross my mind to be honest, because I had the remap before the injectors were changed so I was thinking they might be running slightly wrong. Or could not be adjusted properly from Audi.

    Mystery Problem That Has Everyone Baffled

    Is there any way of testing the crank sensor, wouldn't that throw up a fault code?

    The injectors and loom were changed not that long ago at Audi because of the recall.

    Mystery Problem That Has Everyone Baffled

    No i haven't replaced the battery, I have used the spare key though and the same thing happened.

    Mystery Problem That Has Everyone Baffled

    Hi, yes the battery has been checked it's fine. I'll have to check for any water ingress, it could be the ECU, wiring loom, or earthing. How would I check if these are the culprits? Thanks Warren
