Service and MOT this week ... Gulp

Post by E14STO » Wed May 20, 2015 8:58 pm

Wonder what this will bring! ££££££
Shouldn't really but you never know..
5k since last service 10 months ago when it had plugs etc.
Needs a water pump housing - slight weep on it.

Other than that I might get them to check see if it needs a carbon clean.
Is evaluation a big job with a charger to remove?? - ie if they strip it is it worth them fettling it!

Just to let you guys know that you can get an MOT done at a local council testing station its a standard price no discount but what really good is that they have no interest in failing you to get work from you as they do not do repairs, so if they find something wrong it's because there is something wrong not just to take your hard earned cash, I used the one at Guildford and as soon as I arrived they all came out to look at the car, they new what it was and how to treat it, big wide bays ,,,, no door banging

So - how quick to check for a carbon clean?
Is it worth checking and then not doing and does the charger make it a much tougher job.
I think it's ok but if it's easy to check I think I will.
Still pulls 5.9-6 secs 3rd gear test which I guess means it's "ok"

Wouldn't worry too much about cb, remember I ran water meth for ages and nitrous. Can't see the car being that clogged up. I'm sure Doug also said the charged cars suffer way less

Fair point - and it's pulling the right times.
I have it services locally but they know what they're on with and have done several cleans.
Not bothering rolling road it as likely different to MRC readings so hopefully it will go to MRC for a map tweak hence wanted it optimum really.

Then I'm of to pod .....

Amongst all the other crap with my car at the moment, I had the MOT done by Audi. That comes with a g'tee that it will pass next year's MOT, or they will pay up to £750 for the parts that have failed the MOT. Cost is £49.

That's a good deal... Not sure they'd turn an eye on emissions though for the modded ones!
