Ordered my luggage cover fix kit from TPS today, less than £10.50 and will be in stock tomorrow.
Clear corner mod has to be a winner for the cost. Less than £5 for a pair of chrome indicator bulbs, and takes years off the car!!!!
Also cheap eml327 off eBay and obd11 app, cheapest boost gauge ever!!!!!
I was thinking of this, but how accurate is it, does it work smoothly?
Also which app do you use as there are quite a few out there?
Refitted my Passat washers using the spacers. Took two minutes, half of which was removing the glue residue. Still a little bit of lateral movement, but much better aligned. £2.28 well spent.Ordered from Bexley Audi, for collection tomorrow. £1.14 each, including VAT.
Nice one.
See if you can get links up for the dongle, and app if you could with knowing they work. I've read that the dongles on ebay can be rubbish, so it would be good to have a link to one that works.

can we see a picture of the final fitting?
cheers
I can't say for definite but I would of thought so, it works off bluetooth so you'd think a fancy i phone would connect. If not, it would still be cheaper to buy another phone just for the boost gauge than an actual boost gauge!!!Does the ELM327 work with iPhone?
I believe it only turns on when you turn the ignition on, similar to when you are checking for faults etcIf you leave the Bluetooth obd connector plugged in will it not drain the battery?
Can you give more info on that ?B6 cigarette lighter mod. Cost me £15
Here you go. It's looks hideous in close-up, but ignore that. The spacer/adaptor/shim, what ever you call it, is slotted along one side. You slide that into place on the elongated side of the aperture in the underside of the bonnet, and that's it. It makes the aperture the right depth to clip the narrower VW jet housing into place. The VW jet is shorter as well as narrower, and this spacer does not bridge the gap in the length of the aperture. So the jet housing will still slide a few mm left or right if you move it. But that doesn't matter.can we see a picture of the final fitting?

T8UPS is the Man!INTERIOR LIGHTING LED UPGRADE
Got an error free canbus interior LED light kit for my Avant from ASN member called T8ups. Was delivered to my door for £34. All of 10 minutes to swap them over and I'm pretty pleased with the results.
Caveat emptor: My car does NOT have the interior light pack so obviously its going to cost a little more for you if you do have one.

picked up my shims today, just need to get the jets, i suspect that its still going to be a silicone glue job albeit a smaller amount to stop the sideway movement.Here you go.

On the B6 models, the cigarette lighter sat in a retractable housing, so it was concealed when not in use. It was deleted from the B7 as a cost-cutting measure.Can you give more info on that ?
I already did, see comment 14Can you give more info on that ?
Does the lighter insert just pop out or is it screws in some where? Also is connector the same or does this require a little re wiring original connector to new lighter insert?DerClown. The cigarette lighter on the b6 flips out of the way when not in use,

thanksThe whole centre console has to come up, not as bad as it sounds.
Take rear astray out and remove the 2 screws,remove bolt for armrest, one each side at the very front of the console, remove gear surround and ashtray, then log up from the back, I just stuck my head under then undid the two screws at the from of the cigarette lighter part then it comes out. Wiring in mine was the opposite way round so I just put the connector in the other way. Hope that helps
Can I add one...
STEERING WHEEL & GEAR KNOB CLEAN / DE-SHINE

Get rid of that horrible shiny/greasy finish on used steering wheels and gear knobs with this trick.
Parts required: Flash Magic Eraser, around £2 from most supermarkets.

Did this last night!
Honestly is brilliant! £2 and my steering wheel and gear knob feel completely new!
more texture and not so shiny!
Love this one!

Was going to order mine tommorrow if it's straight swap
Strangely I had the 'stuck on' one in my B6 that I replaced for a flip up one from a B7
I found the power and illumination wires to be the wrong way round, so I popped them out of the block and swapped them around.
If you have the single din set up like me there are two hidden bolts behind the textured bit that sits behind the front ashtray. You get the textured bit out by simply popping it upwards, it just clips in.
I think it won't work. I also interested.....How does this work with a cabriolet......
Yes, I fancied one of those, but they're not suitable for diesels.Yet to try this one out but I was recommended getting Apr snub mount upgrade only £36
