    Electric Window Broken (not broken clips though)

    Well it all sounds like a real pain in the *** to do. I might try a breakers for a whole frame unit and swap the lot as the rivets dont look like regular pop ones lol. Cheers for the advice!

    Electric Window Broken (not broken clips though)

    The other week my window decided to wind down but then on the way up stopped and made a nice grinding noise. I managed to catch it and push it back up by hand. A quick search on hear showed the problem was likely to be a broken plastic clip. Armed with some printouts and glue I set about sorting...

    Chips with that? Revo and APR experiences

    I had APR. It overfuelled, was set up for american fuel and climate. The limp home system had been overwritten so basically the car wouldnt have ever gone into a safe mode. It drove ok normally but i dread to think what could have happened if something had gone wrong. Boost and power used to...

    Secret Squirrel - what mods and power are you running? I'd say AndyTQ's info is probably right as mine is maxed about 220ish i reckon. I was always under the impression it ran 03s. Seems i was wrong too! :)

    140 with the Mofo??

    So previously when you attempted to max out 5 gear did you run out of puff to get round to the higher revs meaning this new product gives extra power?

    Blueflame or Remus Exhaust for A3

    I have Blueflame on mine (A3 1.8t Quattro) Downpipe Sports Cat Full system! I love it, released some extra boost, extra power and looks loads better than the powerflow. I also manage to get over 425miles from a tank over the 360 i was getting with the old exhaust! The only thing is...

    Power cable to the boot...??

    Is it an aftermarket headunit or standard? I took the large panel from around the steering column out which gave enough room to feed the wires into the rear of the center part of the dash. I ran these along the back of that panel, down to the sill and backwards to the boot.

    Power cable to the boot...??

    Basically route the wire from the battery, under the airbox and into the plastic casing running up the bulkhead into near where the pollon filter is. I found a grommet to the far passenger side of the pollon filter housing to run the wire through into the car. Its then just a case of routing it...

    to laquer or not to laquer??

    If you want matt or satin its pointless laquering as it will look gloss defeating the object of spraying it with matt/satin paint.
