Just an FYI.

Audi paid for mine - pack of 8

It looks like it was caused from an impact so I can't really blame Audi. All the screws were tight except the front one which was missing

One missing is enough to request replacements - it is s know issue

21! Your only a young 'nipper'...lol
I can't remember when I was that old....sorry I mean young..lol
Have you done any quotes on the insurance sites?
My guess it's going to put a big sting on your wallet...

Got a quote on a year old one, came back at around £2k+ which wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but that combined with the outright price...I will wait for some Audi approved used facelifts to come about in a few years me think

might end up changing my mind and end up getting the 185 quattro, just a weird urge I've had recently that I want an s3 eventually way too early to be thinking about it

With your insurance quote of £2000 and this one I found on the Auto Trader you are looking at £25000 give or take a few...

I got myself one of these a while back, really don't know why something similar don't come as standard fitting. however with this version you will need to file down the underside of the coin holder to get a flush fit and increase the size of the hole if you want to connect with an MMI cable

 

[rcnacura]

Bought new tires for upcoming rim purchase (still on backorder)

I don't use the MMI cable, so hopefully I shouldn't have to fettle it

 

[Happy Grumpz]

Ohhh, nearly forgot.

I got rid of the dealer plates and replaced them with these...

The carbon effect letters are very subtle and you can only tell from certain angles.

Looking good, I have these gel resin plates but without the carbon effect. They're fantastic and everyone always comments

You're right ! Had to zoom in to see the carbon - Very Nice !!

Just back from the service centre

Rear suspension mounts to be replaced under warranty

Waiting to hear if front quarter trim will be covered by warranty

The service centre guys loved the Sepang blue air vent trims

Seats will be monitored over next 6 months and if creases get worse they will replace them.

MMI update applied - not sure what for.

Decided not to push a few other items I had listed

Job well done Warwick...
I had the rear top mounts replaced on my car a couple of months ago..It does make a hell of a difference to the ride quality...

Good to hear.

I just dread them putting their hands on the car .....

Sadly, with the trim, the door panel has to come off. I hate to think of the damage they will do.

Oh well.

The door trims are quite robust - mines had 3 out of 4 off now for rear speaker lights and new door latch up front and no squeak/rattle issues at all.

I'd rate your skills considerably higher than most Audi mechanics ..,.,

I did an oil change and washed/waxed it last night.

Does anyone know the easiest way to clear the 'oil change due in 'x' miles' message?

 

[larbel]

Spent 12 hours.. Yes, TWELVE hours washing, Iron-X, polishing, Eraser, CQUKed and then Reload... Was thinking I could get it done in 6 hours, but it was hot here yesterday and polishing and removing the CQUK/Reload took a lot longer than expected, by the time I started with CQUK, it was already like 5pm.

Wish I would of just stop there and finish it up the next day, with the garage lighting, everything seems perfect by the time I finished around 9:30, but this morning when I took the car out in the sun, it was smearing and streaking all over.. Tried putting a little Reload on a towel and buffing the smears, it seem to help a bit so I guess the smearing is from Reload and not CQUK? Will let it cure a bit more and from what I read, the smearing should be easily washed away with shampoo so will give that a try in a few days..

Had a rummage around to find a cable to splice into for some LED footwell strips... Very unsuccessful indeed!
Can someone point me in the direction of a suitable 12v wire? Ideally the lighting circuit but I'm very electronically uneducated...

Changed the front and back reading lights & glovebox light to LEDs while I was at it

Can't help you with the 12v wire I'm afraid but I also replaced the interior lights with led one's and it does make a great difference..Wait till it gets really dark and switch them on...
