    Is something missing?

    Thankyou for the reply, I'm hoping it's just one of the unused turbo bracket bolts. It was done a few months back and I've had the tray off a few times so he may have lightly put it back in and not tightened it. What about the bottom of the gearbox are you familiar with them? It looks like...

    Is something missing?

    Hi there, I'm wondering if something is missing from the bottom of my gearbox. It's an A4 B5 1.8t 5 speed manual quattro. I've never noticed the shiny part in the picture below. Also when I removed my undertray this hex socket bolt was sitting on it, does anyone know where it could be from...

    Polishing alloy.

    Finished painting two wheels today, will finish the other two tomorrow. I'm going to paint the callipers black later.

    Polishing alloy.

    I've been keeping busy by sanding and polishing the outer lip on the standard rims and the top of the intake manifold. I plan on painting the centre and back of the wheels satin black next week. Also replaced the old yellow/brown radiator reservoir with a fresh new one.

    Sliding rail guide replacement

    This is all I can see. You can just see the guide rubber on the drivers side but I can't see where it goes on the passenger side. What are these clips that come with the guide rubbers?

    Stock boost pressure for 132kw AJL engine.

    It says item doesn't post to Australia. I try to only buy plug and play gear because I can't work on the car as much as I could of years ago because my back is stuffed. I had to pay a mechanic to put the turbo kit and water pump timing belt kit etc because I can't physically do it anymore...

    Stock boost pressure for 132kw AJL engine.

    Okay, I do plan to get an ecu and harness adaptor in the future to have custom tuned but just want it to have some extra punch until then. Most of what I've read about custom tunes is that I won't even need the upgraded N75j valve because the tuned ecu will overcome the issues. I think I will...

    Stock boost pressure for 132kw AJL engine.

    Okay thankyou, everything I've read up about boost tee's on these recommends not doing it. Here a a few pics I found a while back but most comments after it said don't do it in any configuration because it's just asking for something to go wrong without safety cuts etc.

    Stock boost pressure for 132kw AJL engine.

    Okay thankyou, I didn't think it had a MAP. The only FMIC I've found that's worth the money is one on ebay made here in Australia. It must be a multi fit kind of thing. The postage to Australia for anything else is ridiculous and usually more than the intercooler itself. Here's a link to it...

    Stock boost pressure for 132kw AJL engine.

    What about the MAP sensor? Does it even have one? All the intercoolers I look to buy have a fitting for a MAP. I figured it must not have one and will have to have the fitting capped off.

    Stock boost pressure for 132kw AJL engine.

    Thankyou for the swift reply, from what I understand it's risky not using the N75 valve right? So if I do install the N75j will it hit a cut? I have a 3-5bar adjustable FPR to install if it needs higher pressure too. I brought a quality boost tee for it but never used it because I was led to...

    Stock boost pressure for 132kw AJL engine.

    Hi there, I'm wondering what the stock boost pressure is for the Australian AJL 132kw engine? I thought it was a little under 9psi like 8.7psi. I put a GT2871r eliminator kit on and put a gauge on and its reading 12psi on full load/duty. Is this normal or is the turbo kit raising it? I have a...

    Sliding rail guide replacement

    Yeah, at first the seat wouldn't lock back in and just kept moving but I pulled the handle up to lock it in place but now it won't slide.

    Sliding rail guide replacement

    Okay I had a passenger try move my front seat forward and a piece of yellow rubber fell out and they had to hold on every time the boost came on because the seat would slide back haha, apparently it's the seat guide. How do I replace it? I'm going to order the parts, do I need new clips for it...

    Cleaning interior of glass

    I got some 0000 steel wool to try as a last resort, I'll try it with the polish and see how it goes.

    Cleaning interior of glass

    Tried the claybar with detailing spray and still no difference unfortunately. I learnt a lesson not to use the clay bar with the auto glym polish too lol, what a sticky mess I had to clean up. It melted the clay bar, lucky I only used a small piece of the bar and only tried on the small rear...

    Cleaning interior of glass

    Okay so I've tried 100% isopropyl alcohol vinegar and auto glym glass polish and the watermarks are still there, they didn't even lighten. I might try a clay bar next.
