a' la Audi 80

Glad to see you've still got the B7 after all these years Rob, I remember reading your thread through when I purchased this one the first time round over 5years ago.

When I owned the car before I had a big long list of mods/retrofits planned. One of which was Auto headlamp/Wipers. I sourced a black headlining kit and rear view mirror with the sensor and eve the wiring to run down to the headlamp switch. Next was to replace the stone chipped windscreen for...

Made a start putting my B7 back together after selling it to a mate a couple of years ago and he unforunately had a bit of an incident in it. I saved it from Copart getting there claws on it and recovered it from the recovery yard just before Xmas after it had sat there for 3 months. New painted...

It's a bit of a sod of a job isn't it :tearsofjoy: Especially with shovel hands. Have you had the underboost fault code by chance?

This stuff from Amazon, I did 5 coats in the end with a trigger spray bottle diluted 1:1 with water

I paid £80 per cluster because I had to swap my red ones back into the other B7 I have. Nope mine wouldn’t show up in the red one. Tried turning it off and on again. Checked and triple checked in VCDS.

Yea that’s put mine to shame! When I swapped my rears the ones I put in had something brown, sweet and very very sticky on! I think it’s cough medicine. I tried getting as much as could out of the foam but it’s still seeped through and made everything brown

Picked up a full black headlining set last weekend so was keen to get that in. Unfortunately it had begun to sag so decided to dye my grey one as upholstery is not for me! Overall I’m very happy, completely changes the feel of the car. Forgot how I missed the black headlining from my old...

Recently had mine swapped from another B7 I have. Had Retrofit Southwest come and do the coding and SKC work and it took him a few hours as one of the clusters wouldn’t play nice. Probably not worth it to be honest but I do much prefer it over the red and now the sat nav shows up on the DIS too

Just gutted the back boxes and a panel filter, the torque is relentless now. I used to think my 220BUL was quick but this thing standard would have blown that away. Have to say not noticed much of an increase in mpg thus far

Mines having a little bit of computer wizardry as we speak today.

The physical swap is easy, I paid retrofit southwest to come and do the immobiliser coding and all of that part as it is more involved than VCDS capabilities. Not worth the money I paid to have it done more than likely. But I wanted them to complete the RNSE swap as the red DIS doesn’t show sat...

Finally got my colour DIS swapped over from my other B7 into my 3.0TDI. So much better and makes the cabin feel so much more modern.

I’m trying to convince a mate of mine to go Porsche Acid green for his calipers on his B8 RS4 after seeing a blue Macan with green calipers

Brakes before remap would be my personal preference. The difference I have felt upgrading to S4 carriers and 345mm discs with Ferodo pads is unreal. Feels like my insides are going to burst through my chest when I stamp on the stop pedal now

I’ve seen springs go off before so I know what they can do but I know that the ones on a B7 aren’t under that much compression. just slid them over the shocks and put the top mount back on

I didn’t use any. Just went at it with my big impact gun and made sure it was pointed away from anything breakable.

Haha. I managed to use a plastic saw blade guard and some long nose pliers in the end. Spent longer hunting for one ****** bolt than I did doing the entire passenger side
