Good luck joe :wink:

You said you were doing mine for free :laugh:.
Would love to have a go myself to learn more about the car but i think its too big of a job for me so will probably get it fitted at ADS or prosport :smiley:
-
good luck and God speed
and remember, if it gets totally screwed up (overheating, engine blow-up etc) - it's just a pile of metal, rubber, plastic, and liquids. :lipsrsealed:
:wink:

Bless him, hes still out there in the snow and Ice trying to decide which side each headlamp fits, hope he's put the grill in up the right way
or he might have a dilema indeed which side they fit!! :wink:
Come on Joe, put the tools away, turn off your Halogen lamp, Its called "Phone a Friend" if youve used up your other lifelines :laugh:
-
with the lack of pics you would think he was a Pirelli owner
-
Perhaps thats what hes trying to make " a Pirelli " :laugh:, hes still stitching the seats, no wonder hes taking alongtime!
-

:lipsrsealed:

:lipsrsealed:
what have you done?
-
forgotten the lead for my camer so i can show what an "almost" peffect job i done :smiley: :smiley:
-
oh and those screws were wrong :grin: :grin:
-
Hurry up and tell us lol suspense killing me.......... :laugh:
-
Yep - any problems (so I can plan mine) ;)
-
oh and those screws were wrong :grin: :grin:
those screws are the ones from the s3 ic so they are the ones audi fit
-
well il get some pics up after dinner. I eventually started after buying some axel stands at 11.30 and finished at 6pm :shocked: :shocked: :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed: :laugh: :tongue:
the job is very easy if you take your time, front bumper comes off in 20 mins tops, its just all the stupidly fiddly screws that take alot of time.
so it took a while, i was left with 2 more screws than i started with :lipsrsealed: :laugh: so god knows where they go.
THEN just as id finished, bolted the battery on, turned the engine on, everything was fine so i slammed the bonnet.............but forgot to link the cable back up behind the drivers side light :sick: so i cant lift my bonnet now :sad: anybody got and suggestions?
drivability is NOTICABLE!! the turbo spools up quicker and also holds onto the boost longer, my turbo gauge read 12-13psi @ 4k-6krevs, it now holds boost upto 6k and doesnt drop below 15 :afro:
so after a long day and learning alot about my car, it was worth it, oh and remember that ive never had any experience in mechanics before, and the last thing i did was fit my dv which took about 4hours :laugh: so its doooable :smiley: :smiley:
-
undo the wheel arch liner and you should be able to get hold of the cable
-
good idea, you mean the fron ineer arch? :smiley:
-
good idea, you mean the fron ineer arch? :smiley:
yes drivers side
-
good idea, you mean the fron ineer arch? :smiley:
yes drivers side
sorted, il do it tonight! what if this doesnt work?
-
you might be able to do it by taken the front badge out maybe
-
those screws are the ones from the s3 ic so they are the ones audi fit
The ones audi fit are actually M6 bolts... :smiley:

-
