What have you done to your 8V today?

@Rob2k68 / @Gazjs Hmm that's kind of put me off buying the Genuine Audi valve caps now a bit... Not sure

Lots of Audi dust caps on Amazon
Amazon product
However many buyers report issues with corrosion and becoming permanently stuck to the valve stem. I'll stick with plastic caps and a dab of Vaseline on the threads.
 
Cleaned and Gyeon Cured :s3addict:

Has anyone added headlight washers to their car that didn't come with them? Mine has the cut outs in the bumper but I don't have and would really like the washers.

I saw this on another thread and decided for the price it was worth a punt.
Needed to elongate the hole in the base to accept the iphone connector but its really quite neat and a lot less than some other sellers.:greedy dollars: Hope the link works but p.m. Me if not
Oh its gone up £3.00

In all credit to Audi, I drove through puddles today that when a car passed came over the bonnet and the car didn't miss a beat. Some steam but she did well others didn't make it, a 12 plate bmw cut out

Reading back, I sound insane for driving through, if another car hadn't decided to come through it was numberplate height. Puddle and over the bonnet doesn't sound right lol but I've had a few after a very interesting drive in our recent floods

Booked the car in for warranty repairs next week - a growing list.

Rear suspension thud
Cracked exterior trim
Rough idle now and then
Revise mag ride settings
Seat creasing on shoulder and leg bolsters
Requested a few system changes (dealer offering to do 'VCDS' type changes for me)
A few other minor things

That's quite a list - how many miles ?

If they sort your boosters out I'll be shipping my car out over there ;o)

Checked, for the third time in 1.5 days, that the car is still in the car park of the hotel that my conference is being held in.

Sad I know especially given number of high end cars in the car park....tons of other Audis and Mercs, the odd Bentley and Jag and interestingly hardly a single BMW!!!!

Nothing terribly exciting but I've just replaced my rear wheelarch liners. Both were paper thin in the white patches guess I'll have to be more careful with the jet wash in future :-

Having used the Gyeon cure quick detailer for some time now, l have found out for the best/fastest results, is to dry the car with it using a drying towel obviously...lol then once dried, go over again with the Gyeon with 2 microfiber cloths one for the application the other for buffing..lol sounds gay..lol buffing,but seriously this works best for me,the downside to the gyeon is it's durability,try mixing some gyeon with C2V3 in a bottle this gives fantastic results and will last for ages

Looks like the water got to her more than I realised. Thought I had a flat tyre at first and then saw the underway hanging off

If anyone has a Glacier White S-Line Sportback 1:18 model to sell please let me know. In their infinite wisdom Audi made it a Limited Edition with only 1000 made. They don't do that to the 'real' cars so why limit the models? Anyway I've tried everywhere so far so if anyone has one to sell please PM me.
