Fitted my Revo engine and transmission mounts today, only took about 2 hours and I’m really happy. It does vibrate more but I kinda like it. Had to modify the charcoal canister but other than that no problems at all. Only been for a quick spin around the block but I’m liking how the car feels.

This week I got both rear brake disc cover plates replaced. Both had corroded quite a bit and were loose. One had started to rub on the brake disc, which made quite an alarming grinding noise. I believe this is relatively common.
This thread was really useful to figure out which size brake discs I have, and therefore the part numbers I needed:

Bought an complete Sline interior. Dusty as it has been laying on someones attic for a while.
Playing in a lower league football team so my guess was that it would be wild after (
) so started cleaning the stuff yesterday so it could be build in my A3 on monday. And yeez what a difference 2 vacuums can make..

Loving these, anyone thinking about it should do it! Also, the annoying rattles whilst going over the bumps have disappeared. My 10 year old stock mounts (along with the droplinks) must’ve been getting ready?? I’ll be upgrading from the dog bone insert to the Revo pendulum when I get chance.

Well done that man , looking good
WELL DAMN! I should have asked you to take pics of the roof where the bolts for the roof rails go so everyone can see it. A missed opportunity for sure
Maybe you can see it from this angle.
Tapatalk does not upload in 4K (this pic is alot bigger when I export it and upload the raw file). If you'd like that please hit me up

Broke the nsf coil spring, I’ve never seen one crack like this before??
All stripped down, just waiting for the parts to arrive then hopefully get it all back together before a nice 12 hour night shift...

Dragged my old *** into the 21st century today and fitted one of these;
Not had time to have a proper play yet but the hands free and the Apple CarPlay are brilliant!
The car still only has three legs at the moment though, that’s tomorrow’s job.

I’ll post some up tomorrow mate. I’m really happy with how it looks, there are no buttons or ports on the front so it looks really clean. Plug and play wiring harness that looks after the Bose and MFSW too....
Mine was Symphony 2 by the way, not RSN-E....

I mean, tbh you have very good stuff and you got ****** stuff regardless where it was made, in other words value for money, hopefully most of Audi is good old German engineering
Yea pretty shop on i mean the sweeping mirror indicator are top quality but you get some.really bad **** outta china sometimes, love it when people buy cheap af 13a sockets for there house by an unknown brand and ask me to install them, and call me back 1 month later to say its cracked broken or burnt outI mean, tbh you have very good stuff and you got ****** stuff regardless where it was made, in other words value for money, hopefully most of Audi is good old German engineering

Alright, couldn't wait anylonger and ordered myself a clima unit with heated seating option and the Kufatec retrofit cable set.
I will get a manual from Kufatec in how to wire it but saw a few topics already that stated it should be wired differently, anybody have experience with this?

Not the best picture but it’s been a busy day. The white sticker on the bottom has now gone and the blue buttons on the left hand side are now red to match the heater controls. I’m really happy with it although it was probably assembled in China haha. CarPlay works really well and it sounds great. The phone quality is brilliant after getting used to the interference I had when I retrofitted the Audi Bluetooth module.

Got up early after completing my last 12 hour night shift of the week. Fitted both new front coil springs and top mounts, got finished in plenty of time so fitted my DAB antenna.

Where you install that dab antenna?
I like it the stereo and i also don't at the same time
don't get me pioneer is the if not one the best head unit brands available and the thought of all the day to day features now accessible because of it is exciting. But it just feels like something is missing ....Sent from my SM-N976B using Tapatalk

Think I’m in the same boat as you mate, I’d love to upgrade from the rnse, but to me, that looks wrong...
I’ve got CarPlay in my Peugeot van, Bluetooth speakers at home, wireless headphones and AirPods etc, so plugging into the aux every time I drive it feels a bit dated.
But I couldn’t swap to something like that when, to me, it looks too out of place

I resisted until I went in my brother’s 16 plate Octavia VRS which has touch screen. Pioneer have always been pretty good and I’ve been using iPhone for years do I thought why not?? The antenna is tucked behind the headlining above the passenger side of the windscreen with the cable hidden nicely down the A pillar and behind the glove box. I fitted the more reliable FM adapter too so all bases covered.

The main advantage over RSN-E is being able to use Google Maps which, for me is the best Sat-Nav going. It’s great having the bigger screen and speaker output instead of the phone mounted on the dash. I had RSN-E in my A4 and I hated the navigation.

Now that looks slightly better need a bigger screen though
Here’s a photo of my Pioneer setup. The key is to get the right Connects fascia so it fits nice and flush.

I think they look great - what model are these? I’m in New Zealand now and we don’t do DAB here (no take-up after Government trials apparently) but I’d like a change from the RNSE, which, doesn’t have/get NZ maps.
I know there is an ICE forum and without starting a new thread (or researching) is the bezel/filler panel easy to come by, any additional parts needed ?
