What have you done to your 8V today?

[FrA1l3]

What month and year is your car? Do you have the tech pack?

I was under the impression this couldn't be done on my car

Is your dealer Edinburgh Audi? If so interested to know what the repair is like as also got a scuffed alloy.

I bought car via Perth Audi and the insurance is with premia solutuions.

The appointed repairer called me today, "Revive".

Q "What colour of paint is required for your wheel sir"

A "The wheel is diamond cut"

Q "OK, silver then?"

I don't think they will be getting to touch my alloy .....

Don't blame you mate!

Nothing, just walked past it. It's still clean but not turned a wheel for over two months. I wonder why I need it sometimes....

Opposite for me. I use it most days, but haven't cleaned it for about 3 months. Luckily silver never looks too dirty, but the car is disgustingly filthy. Every time I touch it I get black fingertips!

Swapped out the OEM rubber mats for Weathertech mats instead.

Much better protection of the interior especially now in the wintertime. Fits perfectly.

 

[simonali]

Bucket mats!

Today is a good day, I finally completed my B&O retrofit to the car with the delayed installation of the 2 rear tweeters, replacement of a broken door loom connector and the retrofit of rear B&O illumination.
It'll take me a while to finish the Definitive B&O retrofit thread as I've got lots to write up but it was all definitely worth it.

Are your backdoor speakers also turning the light on ? Mine came stock and does not turn on the back doors.

That's normal - rear speaker illumination is a retrofit - see here ......

You sir are an abundant help for newbies like me. Thx for this; I'll tackle this mod on my sedan in springtime (USA). I saw some users alluded to the cupholder retrofit. Can you point me to that particular thread?

I've a 1.4Tfsi A3 8V. Do you think it worth the money installing this chip?

Depends, have a look on the MTM website and look at the gains that is offered for your car model and you can make that call. You can also look around and see if you can get second hand models which would be quite a bit cheaper!

All the best!

AJ wot tools do u need to get the airbox open .Not sure of the type / size of the bolts. is it as simple as undoing them to get the old filter out?

No tools needed just unbolt it and install I used T5 6 star screw(if i remember correctly). Also if you are going to do it take out the snow grate grill underneath will help it breath better.

Decent numbers ??

Not sure really...got 341 bhp ( I was expecting more bhp) and 494 NM ( even though MTM says max 450!

I've had massively varying power figures from two dynos so I wouldn't take them too serious as long as you're enjoying the butt dyno!

Savage amount of torque though I'm at a similar number with stage 2 remap.

 

[Tom.H]

Is that AMD in Essex? Had my R32 dyno'd there and it came out near on 270bho iirc, completely standard as well so I think their rollers may be a little generous, either that or VW are conservative with their figures.

Yea AMD Essex, unfortunately blew one tyre in the dyno process as well. But they didn't bother doing another run after I bought another tyre .

I wasn't that confident about the figures tbh, I might head down to Kim at QS soon.

 

[Tom.H]

Surrey rolling road is supposed to be pretty good as well.

Finally had time to mess with the new car:

DVR for Dual Channel Dashcam installed / hardwired (GPS unit in side panel):

Tapped the Cig Lighter fuse. Will be mounting on the roof of the compartment once I have worked out how to cut a new hole closer to the top.

Modified front Camera unit so I could mount to the side of the mirror mount, and also attached a magnetic CPL filter:

Modified the trim with a dremel so I could pass the camera cable through and up to the headlining. Did not take any pictures of the rear camera but its stuck to the bottom of the 3rd brake light and the cable run through the headlining.

Black PlastiDip Dipstick:


Black PlastiDip Washer Cap:

Got the car back from having a Sachs 4 paddle clutch kit fitted, needs breaking in and then the fun begins after going Revo stage 2 high torque file. It's a little firmer than stock but just need to get used to it.

Caught a raw nerve with that one!!!....but feel for you mate.

Some cars are just prone to it, my 2.0TDI which I had for 18 months had just one small self repaired stone chip on the bonnet when I sold it...go figure ?
