Car Detailer - NE England

Can anyone recommend a good detailer anywhere in the North East of England.

My paintwork needs some professional TLC & I don't have the time or patience to do it myself.

Cheers,

Gordon

My EPC Light

My EPC light has been coming on & then going out 5 mins. later for the past 3 weeks now. The car is running fine, the only problem is when the light is on you can't go above 7000rpm. :( It's going in on Friday to get the brakes discs changed & I'm going to have it checked with Vagcom, so I'll left y...

Dyno Result

2006: 30000 miles
Dastek (Motoscope)
356 bhp @ 7687rpm (4th Gear)
300lbf @ 3468rpm
ESP Fully off

I subsequently found out that I had a vacuum leak from a hose connected to the exhaust which resulted in power loss.

Lucky B@stards!

You’ll have to take some good photos for us that aren’t lucky enough to go.

It sounds like an amazing trip but there is no way I could get this one past the ‘Leg Iron’.

I hope you all have a blast.

Re: Help

I live in Teesside & I've got a bloke who does all the work on my RS, he used to work for Teesside Audi but decided to set up as an independent; really knows his stuff.

I think he charges about £20-£30 for a diagnostic.

PM me if you want his details.

Nice Surprise

Just as I was pulling onto a duel carriageway this morning, I noticed what I thought was a sprint blue RS4 saloon behind me that whizzed past me last week on the way to work. So naturally, I booted down the slip road, only to have this car cruise past me, it wasn’t an RS4 but a brand new RS6 saloo...

What a Car!

Just finished cleaning the car & went out for a quick blast to dry the brakes off. I was waiting at a roundabout & a Suzuki TL1000R pulled up beside me & he nodded, either in appreciation or was wanting a challenge; I took it to be the latter & booted it onto a half mile stretch of duel carriageway....

All is well

I'm all sorted now thanks, just saving up for my X-Pipe & back box from AAS. There is one thing that I have noticed since plugging the rear vacuum pipes, there is now a distinct 'flat spot' at 6000rpm. I have got no idea why this is but I'm not too concerned because after I get the new exhaust fitte...

Man Light

My EPC light would come on then go out again and eventually the man. light came on. I guess when this happened, it resulted in a total vacuum loss to the whole system.

Plug them!

Just did mine last week.
Put a couple of grub screws into the ends of the black flexi hoses' & tighten the ends up with the end clamps. This will ensure that is no vacuum loss.
