lumpy idle / misfire is fixed. My customer ran a few tests, aided by an online guru he pays to be part of annually. This guy saw it as a challenge due to it being an older Audi and the kind of technology he cut his teeth on years ago. Few tests and we eliminated the Lambda sensor, as with a...

I’m not feeling too bad, glad the chest infection has left me, just feel energy depleted. Back to my customers garage tomorrow with an Air Mass, a Lambda sensor, and a throttle body. We smoke tested the vac system the other day, no leaks on the boost/intake side. Obviously checked codes which...

Not been on in a while now, been so busy at work. Plus I’ve been ill for about 6 weeks now. I’ve noticed @Gops and @Sandip have been posting updates, so going to try and find some willpower. I’ve got a prop shaft to take off and get balanced, needs its 6 month oil service, front brakes seem...

Thought I’d not seen or heard from you much Sandip. I e been loosing the will with mine in the last 3 months. Even contemplated selling it, which got a queue of potentials, lol. It’s good to see you and gops making posts, gives me a bit of encouragement.

Looking good gops. Makes me try to find some will power again with mine, had a nightmare over the last 3 months. Great to see your progress.

Has this sold now?

136 is that all. I can see that number going right down in the next couple years. I do enjoy driving it. And I do love that you just don’t see them anymore. I might be growing weary of going through the job list, not sure.

So the visit to my customer went well. We had the car up on the ramps about 4 times in total with some test drivers inbetween. First up, the exhaust was checked, and at first it seemed really solid. But it was extremely close to the rear diff cross member. So the exhaust mounting that attaches...

Been a while since I last posted, but been a tough couple of months in the new job, and just not had time. And that’s taken its toll on the B5 sadly. Airbag warning on the dash, steering wheel leather dilapidated, headlining sagging now, vibration from drivetrain, knocking on front suspension...

Nice S4. Sure I’ve seen on book of face once or twice. Making good progress. Love the brake setup. I definatly feel I want to make the B5 numbers up at Vorsprung, but keep feeling unsure mines up to that standard in all honesty.

ABS pump is fitted. Literally bought a used item of the same part number, removed my ECU from my pump, and installed on replacement, job done. Always a mission bleeding this car, had to do it twice again. But all good now. Changed the oil while it was in the air. Since I’m at BTCC at Oulton...

Getting busy this evening. Second hand marching ABS pump module arrived today. My plan being that I’ll detach the ECU from my unit, and bolt it to the other pump and motor unit. Hoping that this way, the ABS ECU will talk to my vehicle without the use of VCDS. I l be honest. Apart from losing a...

Thank you. I’ll look into having that done.

Naively maybe, I thought the reason ABS pumps failed was due to electronics failure on the ECU side. My pump seems to have kicked the bucket this evening, pedal went to the floor multiple times. Limped home, and then found fluid all underneath the pump area, and splashes all over the chassis...

Oh how 24 hours can bring change. I received my loom conversion kit for my R8 coil conversion today, so thought I’d get busy installing that. But had to take my wife to the emergency out of hours doctor, (bitten by an insect badly). And lo and behold, the brakes started to feel really odd. Long...

Amazing what a proper leather clean does for your interior. Got a specialist leather treatment pack a while back, one I’ve used before. So full clean first with a leather safe brush. Then when it’s dried, a full treatment with conditioner. I was thinking the drivers seat might require dying, but...

Love a bit of sunshine whilst my least favourite sport is on TV. Gives me a chance to get things done. Managed to get the spoiler fitted to the bumper yesterday, and today and reinforced the ends to the main splitter. Thr dirt shields attached to the hangers were also in a poor state, so I...

Bit of work being done today. As I had an indiscretion with a high kerb in a car park and nearly pulled the bumper off, subsequently the plastic hangers on the inner wings no longer fit correctly. Turns out the expanding nuts that hold these on are just rubbish, so much so there is now a new...

Week down the line now. I think I’m seeing now why I moved away from modifying cars years ago, lol. I’ve fitted the Jetex, and it was extremely close to the chassis in various areas. So….got the car to a customers garage I know, and up on a ramp. They took the sections off, got exhaust paste on...

Had one of my customers do a 4-wheel alignment today. Sooooo much better, feels so much more planted now. Was feeling a bit twitchy before. I also had the, fettle the Jetex system. And this is now a lot better, not blowing anymore, sounds a lot better. It is however extremely close to the...
