Robs Imperial Blue TDI: has gone

[brightsideteeem]

yeah i thought that, because most audis dont have the screw anyway, its why i call them "audi style" now haha. I think it must be the holder things on the back of the pads, il try some more copper grease on them or something, as i fitted them using no copper grease at all lol

EDIT: oh yeah, i saw a tool on awesome i think, and it was a VAG caliper tool, apparently the piston has to turn as it goes back? well i didnt know this at the time, and just undone the bleed nipple and with the old pad still on, used a g clamp to push the piston back in it all still works though so... meh lol

You only need the wind tool for the pistons on the back caliper, i used a g clamp on my front calipers too

I used a massive pair of pipe pliers on my front calipers to.

No problem, its pretty common fault

 

[brightsideteeem]

Me new "mod" is me dog cage haha, just about fits on the back seats, so the sub can stay were it is for now

Got a quote today off a guy who owns a leather upholstery company, (came into work for some tyres) he only deals in leather retrims and does the interior work for SQPlus.

£800 for the seats! and I'm quoteing, "Around a grand including the doors" !!

I was surprised by how much it would cost, but it does require a fair amount of work, nontheless doubt I'l be getting that done anytime soon... lol

Update: 15/11/09

I havent updated this properly in a while.

As Ive said, I think the car is going to be left alone now untill next year. I was toying with the idea of getting rid of it and getting something else, possibly an a4 or passat estate, but Ive changed my mind and decided Im gonna keep her for as long as I can

So, I prepped for winter, just a service left now. 110, 000 miles with big plans for next 2 years, but more on that later.

My last little treats for the "Sooty", was some bosch aerofit wipers, and a 8000k HID conversion. What a difference it makes, its so much easier to drive at night and when its raining.

Wipers

oh yeah, I dont know if i mentioned it earlier, but I got an advisory on having "play in the steering rack" I thought it could be a bush or something, but the tester seems to think it needs a new rack... So any information regarding that please PM with any info like part numbers and prices of new ones, and if there is any "uprated" racks i could use eg: quicker

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

I've got play in my rack to its the inner track rod ends normally.

Got 2 sitting here waiting to be fitted to mine

HID Kit

you can see how much halogen looks yellow

- mid install
on the garage wall

The car is absoltely rotten, inside and out atm as I havent had chance to clean it, but as a friend suggested: "why dont you take it through a machine then?" because I'd rather it be dirty than scratched. There is like 4 coats of wax under all the shite...

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

I need some of those wipers

 

[brightsideteeem]

any suggestions on a decent airfilter? ive already drilled and smoothed my airbox.

I wouldnt mind a nice induction kit unless theres any other suggestions?

 

[mattdavies]

Jetex cones are ment to be really good and they about £50 + a cold air feed

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Yeah I've read the Jetex are very good for the money

 

[Gordz]

I've got the pipercross performance filter. Very good value for money (I paid about £30 I think), gives nice noise and slightly improved performance, especially in 5th gear when put foot down.
