Re: Ds2500 pads info

I just fitted the DS2500 with the larger JH discs, and they would not fit! The wheels would not turn. I am currently running them without the backing plates.. and after they wear down a little will re-install the OWM backing plates. If you don't use them, the pads will "walk" (move up and down and t...

Re: Black Headlights

I have a blacked out car... and went Laminex on the fogs... it looked great... but light output was impacted so much.... I discarded the Laminex in under 15 minutes... Love the black... but love seeing at night even more... EMTuning is the way to go IMO!!

Re: Rusting door blades: Me vs Audi

It is not the rubber "trim" it is literally part of the bottom of the door... there is a screw on the inside of the door, and it slides off, towards the back of the door. If you didn't know any better you'd think it was the door, and not a separate metal piece. Yes its 10 years old, but I have 2 pre...

Rusting door blades: Me vs Audi

Has anyone tried pressing the defect in the way the bottom of our doors are constructed? Technically these are referred to as “door blades”… from my point of view a continuation of the outer door skin…. And from Audi’s point of view, they describe the piece as “trim” and not part of the actual door....

Re: Clutch and flywheel

Can someone elaborate on the "pipe" and "hose" that is also recommended to be replaced with the clutch and flywheel please? ie Part numbers and if the "upgraded" hose is needed.
Thanks

Re: Airbag light drivers seat

I have the same problem... and the light goes on and off on its own... sometimes i can get it to go off by brake or accelerating hard.... I have done a little bit of research, and it appears there is a connection under the seat that becomes loose and /or corroded... but I have not spend time trying ...

Re: Stage 2 Temptation

Has anyone had the Stage 2 done "remotely"? I know MRC requires the CPU to do an initial install of the software... then when I carry out the manifold swap, they can install the Stage 2 map and dyno remotely... at least that is in theory.... as I have yet to hear someone doing it this way... Thanks ...

Getting tired of locking the key in the trunk with the key left in the trunk...
