Title: What Audi upgrades?
Post by: Garynovis on 24 February 2016, 10:58
So far I have done the Jack Pad upgrade from here http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=269686.0

Love the fact that it is totally OEM, fits perfect (and is cheaper than the ECS version)

I have also seen there is a short shifter kit from the TT that can be fitted, will be doing that at some point

Just wondering what other OEM mods are out there that I might be missing

I know there are a lot of aftermarket parts, but at the moment I would like to stick with VW/AUDI fit bits at the minute

The centre console 12V socket plug is a much nicer item from Audi and fits perfectly - replacing the cheap looking black plastic VW version....

Can you still get the little torches that fit in it. I was given on about 10 years ago by my dealer when I got my R32

I wonder if my wife will notice if I swap her socket cover over from her A3  :whistle:

Anyone got a part number for the 12v cover? Looks smart

£28, holy smoke. Audi don't just take with one hand they take with both. They're not even that good.

Collected one from Audi this afternoon. £5.34 incl vat. Tragic but it does look very smart. :cool:

Thats cheap. They are at least a tenner on ebay.
Are they a stock item at Audi ?

Yep. Emailed Audi dealer last night. Confirmed this morning that they had stock and collected this afternoon on my way home. Interesting they are labelled as a VW part? Should have asked VW for a price.Quality is very good and really suits the console. Had a free coffee whilst they sorted the invoice. Avoid the eBay ones. Clearly overpriced.

Going to give my local dealer a call tomorrow for one of those! Waste of money really but who doesn't want a bit of bling instead of a boring bit of back plastic!

They are an Audi only part, all of the parts have VW on them somewhere. Available in silver, black and erm beige! List price is £11.91 so you did alright :)

Edit: For a 2015 A4 the price is £5.34, the price changes depending on which car you select, older cars have the same part but it's twice as much...odd.

May as well have one, it's a drop in the ocean compared to what I've pissed money away on recently :laugh:

Just ordered one from my local Audi dealer. Said it was for a new A4, priced as above, £5.34 inc vat. I'll just have 1 less pint and no crisps next time I'm in the pub!

Oooooo that's pricey for a little torch but it's such a cool gadget... always there if you need it, practically sells itself  :smiley:

Just don't leave it plugged in all the time or it will ruin the battery, or at least it did with mine but I was covering over 1000 miles a week so it was getting power for a good few hours a week. I think the cigarette lighter in my R32 only got power when the ignition was on.

Love the fact that it is totally OEM, fits perfect (and is cheaper than the ECS version)

I have also seen there is a short shifter kit from the TT that can be fitted, will be doing that at some point

Just wondering what other OEM mods are out there that I might be miss I know there are a lot of aftermarket parts, but at the moment I would like to stick with VW/AUDI fit bits at the minute

Just wondering if anyone has fitted the TT short shifter?
