Washed and waxed the old wagon. New pud
Very nice. Did yours come with an extra bit of loom to plug into the plug from the car and then into the new lens? Some I've seen have that.View attachment 274179

I bought a set and have the S line logo ones, they connect to the oem cable no need to change anything you just swap them over.Very nice. Did yours come with an extra bit of loom to plug into the plug from the car and then into the new lens? Some I've seen have that.
Or, literally just plug in from the car straight into the new lens?
Cheap items and look great, I may get S Line logo or the four rings and Audi in red.
Yes they are you can even see them during the day...Wow they are pretty bright!
I got a Yuasa battery for my Subaru from Tayna a few weeks ago, very quick delivery and so well packaged.View attachment 274497
Pretty boring stuff but fitted a new battery this afternoon. Previous Bosch S5 lasted almost 8 years… time does fly, feels like yesterday fitting that.
So the old ones just pop out with a flat blade screwdriver at one end?Yes they are you can even see them during the day...

I had a similar experience with ECP recently. Ordered a battery for the Golf, went to pick it up and they’d put the wrong one aside, complete waste of time. I’d heard good things about Tayna on here over the years and thought I’d give them a try. Paid for standard delivery and it arrived less than 24 hours later. They were also the cheapest by a few quid on the model I wanted. Would definitely recommend themI got a Yuasa battery for my Subaru from Tayna a few weeks ago, very quick delivery and so well packaged.
I reserved one at GSF but when I got there it was filthy and clearly been bashed around so I walked away, Tayna for the win.
Just took one of these out of the SE, charged up overnight and fitted into the Quattro.View attachment 274497

When I say "she" I mean the tester here.@Pie-eyedpiper you can't blame them for the CSC giving up the ghost... it can happen, worst that happened to me is bringing my car in for MOT without a problem and while the car is idling for the emission test the heater matrix burst... now who is to blame for that? not them surely I left the heating on and it was just fine, so although they had to fail it on the count of that, I couldn't blame them. Same goes for your CSC, it is inside the gearbox, an MOT tester will not cause a probem that wouldn't arise that same day or the day after unless they deliberatly sabotage your car. It's one of the main resons an MOT tester isn't allowed to take stuff of the car during the test.
PS a shaker plate actually is a good tester for finding suspension problems and something only a very well outfitted MOT garage has as a tool to make their job easier and more effective, it also means they don't have to take your car for a drive as the shaker plate mimics bad road conditions while driving, all while the car is sitting there stationary.
So you might want to educate the mrs. before she goes in guns blazing.
mate the best thing you can do is buy silicone vacuum lines and replace the lot of those rubber vacuum hoses... you'll be able to get rid of the annoying little clamps too as the silicone fits that tight. (you'll need 3mm internal diameter) and just buy 5 meters or more (it's cheaper the more you buy) but i found that 5 meters is more than enough to do a turbo-ed car and have about 2 meters left(so you got some spare incase you made a mistake and one touches a heat source) ps for 5 meters I paid just shy of 10 pounds.I managed to replace my N75 valve this evening and it was another of those fiddly jobs that suits those with hands of a smaller disposition. A satisfying job and although no real big difference when boost comes on, there is a little difference insomuch as it feels just that little bit keener to pick up. I firmly believe that all these little sensor jobs, spark plug cleaning and this one has gone a long way to it running as well as it can with 154k miles on the clock and has made it so much nicer to drive too.
I found that undoing the 10mm sized 'screws' holding the metal mount that the valve screws onto an easier method than trying to remove the T25 ones that hold the valve onto the mount. Once these 10mm are off I was able to pull the rubber hoses of from where they attach to the engine, not the valve which then allowed me to make enough room to release the clip and free the plug. I could then remove the whole valve and replace it with the new hoses too.
Those stupid OE clamps use to secure the hoses are annoying to remove when you have room, but when in this location where there is such tight access and the visibility isn't good it takes so much time to remove. The replacement hoses had the spring clip ones which are so much more straightforward to fit and adjust.
If you're confident your hoses are good enough to reuse, it's even easier to remove and replace. I took about 90 mins all in, but I did take my time and I kept having to reposition my light as it was dark and outside too. Images of the old one in position and new one just before fitting. I also trimmed the hoses a bit and swapped positions of two of them as the longer one was better suited to connecting to the base of the turbo than the back of the wastegate.
Annoyingly you are sooo right too. It was only when I put it altogether and I have silicon hose here too. I may do it again over the weekend as now those annoying OE clamps are off, I'l be able to do it in about 15 mins.mate the best thing you can do is buy silicone vacuum lines and replace the lot of those rubber vacuum hoses... you'll be able to get rid of the annoying little clamps too as the silicone fits that tight.

silicone vacuum lines don't collapse, don't swell up and don't deteriorate unlike rubber.
