What have you done to your 8V today?
- Thread starter Relliott6879
- Start date
Haven't done anything to the car in 9 days (!) since it has been in the workshop for magride clunk fix and repairing a parking dent. But today I ordered this through a Chinese co-worker. Hopefully it will arrive together with some parts for the company in a week or two. Exciting to see how good quality it is, it should be aluminium and ¥145 is quite much in China.
How is it mounted exactly? The product picture just looks like someone photoshop the holder between the air vents. Also noticed that you might have problems connecting a power cable to the phone with the bottom support getting in the way.

From the pictures it should be okay and with the iPhone charger I think there's enough room. But let's see maybe I'll regret spending money on it
However, I do regret not getting the pink one with the Audi logo on the last picture!

Out of interest what about it aren’t you a fan of?Had a res delete pipe fitted Tuesday, will be coming off today, its not for me..............
Figured out that the car actually tells you when the headlights are on and off in automatic mode! Why they put the indication the headlights are on light down by our knees i will never know....
I know very strange that most cars have on the dash as well - I thought I saw a virtual dash the other day that showed that the headlights were on - might be wrong
Doesn't it make sense though that the light status is on the light control?
Though, it took me a while to notice too..... so from a "turn your ******* lights on" perspective, it would make sense for there to be a status light on the dash...

I drove my car today for the first time since last Friday :O .. nothing too exciting otherwise

Made 324 on same rollers stock
Tune on 21st watch this space
Mine made 337 stock, all i done was opened up the air intake & fitted a Ramair filter, now running 380.6BHP Stage 1, im please with the way it now pulls, you will love it once yours is done
Did you go with the TCU flash with the High Torque map?
I was advised to go with both if I went for the HT map.
No.... only running 375 lb/ft of torque although the 7 speed box appears to handle a lot more torque than the 6 speed box. Once TCU map is available and I am looking for more power I will stick on my DP and go Stage 2 hi torque file.

Just like the airfreshener chosen by the other half...
Just given the car a clean, and for the 1st time i rinsed it in rain water from my water butt, left it to air dry and was amazed by the results.
Although there were a few water marks they are really hard to spot on the paintwork, you can see a few on the windows but a squirt of quick detailer and it was sorted.....

Water marks never bother me after a wash as l always use a quick detailer as a drying aid when l towel dry......a deionizer are great if you wash/rinse your car in the sunlight but given the price of them....a quick detailer and a quality drying towel is far more effective and cheaper
The problem here is the water is sooo hard, it measures 400ppm and if its sunny then its near impossible to dry it fast enough without leaving water marks. Yes the QD helps but at least with the rain water it makes things easier.

I suppose so mate but l personaly don't wash my car when it's sunny then again the sun is never oot in Scotland lol
Fitted my AWE Tuning Switchpath Exhaust Valve Controller Remote, going to be a bit annoying to open the valves every time I get in the car, but had a quick blast down the motorway and at 80mph ish the difference was quite noticeable (got a res delete), so happy about that.
Also fitted Jungles old MTM Cantronic.
Tomorrow, it needs a wash though

Thanks @oli356 - let's do it again 
So, we do have a thread with the title, "What did you do with your A3/S3 today". Well, bought my missus an A3 8V last week and she doesn't know about - it will be a surprise
So, decided to give a thorough clean or detail it before she comes back Friday next week from her holidays.
Tis a 14 plate, Sportback Stronic with Xenon headlights and rears LEDs, EU Nav, Comfort Pack, Rear Parking camera and folding mirrors.

2- Megs Ultimate Tyre Shine using Megs SoftFoam Applicator Pads

Managed to find 5 mins to apply some new decals and my MTM badges.
The best way to make these stone chips virtually fade out of sight is touch up paint and then. . .... Buy yourself one of these simple to use and it has a

Might remove the Quattro badge. Just removed the Quattro decals I had on the rear doors as I have a FL RS Grill going on this Friday and do not want a Quattro logo on every panel lol
Now now, you can't remove ALL the quattro logos lol. Looking forward to the pics with the grill
i remember when Larry from AMMOnyc released a video using this little tool, think the price went from $8 to $30something the days after he released the vid.
