[Pete@ECSTuning]

Update on my boost drama, i have got rid of the Lambda fault , new control sensor nailed that one. So nice not to see the same old fault pop up. Still having some glitches though and the more i check it out its leading me to a faulty (new) Air mass meter.having a few new Bosch units be crap out of the box, watch for that it can lead you right down the garden path. You have replaced it so you go ahead and tick all the boxes only to see yourself back at a faulty Maf Arggghhhhh!!!! Its my car so not so bad but when its a customers its a drama with loads of wasted time
Got my eye on new exhaust tips now and some spacers for the rear
Oh and i need a centre vent so i can fit my new boost gauge thanks to Vw indahouse.

Well its been a full on week and a half for my new car, have owned and a4 b4 for 3 odd years now which is the wifes car(family car) finally had enough of my mk2 and bought an a3 8l turbo, really like the fit and finish of the audi's and being a 2 door i had to have it.

I drove it for a week and through the punctuality of Gavin (aka h100vw) and the help of the Camden GTI crew (soon to be Custom Code Agents) i had the ecu Custom Code flashed. Made so much difference and when the rain finally stopped i could truely appreciate the custom code remap in all its glory.and now to today i built up a cold air intake with a k and n filter.

really happy with the results and transformation of the 20v, now just need a few more bits n pieces

will post up some pics, may even do a build thread??

[Pete@ECSTuning]

New to me A4 got remapped and a coolant issue addressed (in a couple hours).

Serviced my machine tonight, Techs car always comes last 9pm just finished!!! big day wrap up for the break. Anyway spotted a split in my TIP so carried out an emergency repair. Next Forge order i have ill be slinging a set of hoses for the A4 in the box They are turning to mush as they do. Spied some nice tips for my tail pipes too, and im ordering a set of 10mm spacers and bolts.
Had a tub and vac before my big run in 6hrs, and for the kids ive installed a set of twin DVD players in the rear
Cheers

[Pete@ECSTuning]

Wow, quite the build list for you!

[h100vw]

Bought some wet and dry yesterday to remove the UV damage off my headlights. Pretty pleased with the results. Didn't do before but might stick an after picture up tomorrow. Cleans up the front end significantly.

Well just got back from Newwy and have to say it was one of the most comfortable trips to date, i sound surprised? yeah i only get to roadtest these and only get to drive mines every now and again . Fuel consumption got down to 6.6L per 100!!!!( Flashed A4 1.8T) So impressed, i did the whole trip on 3/4 tank!! was still running around Nelson bay Sunday on the same tank. Nice to sit back on cruise and let it do its bit . On the way home had some head wind and couldnt crack the 6s again but managed to top 7.1L so still very good. Dvd players in the rear best buy in moons!!!!! kids were like mice. Highly recommended.
Go Audi!!!!!!!

The Mrs crashed the A4TQ Wagon the other day. No one was hurt.
Heres to being comprehensively insured with agreed value.
Now hurry up and pay me out Shannons so we can buy a newer faster one

Are you buying it back?

Gavin

[Golf Loon]

Are you buying it back?

Dunno, we have to agree on a salvage value.

WARNING, all Shannons policys do not include an automatic right to salvage!!!!!!!
The could write of your pride and joy and take it away.!!
I pointed out they would have to claw the Rocco out of my dead hands and they said that people get first option, but its not automatic!!

Also had a fat row with them a few weeks ago about how they automatically depreciate a daily driver, even when it is at agreed value.
We negotiated on numbers a bit, but it was still gonna go from $20k to $17k on the 1st of April. She smashed the car on 20th March, so it still at the higher value.

The assessor has agreed that it will be written off and now its up to the total loss team!!!! Inspiring name.

If thay want silly money for it, they can take it, if its a bargain, I will have it.

I kinda dont want to pull it apart though as its been such a good family car for us.
Wouldnt be a very hard fix though for a skilled panelbeater.
