wiggled the longditudinal sensor behind the glove box - it had some movement in it so I pushed it to where is wasn't, but now the light doesn't come on? well not yet anyway.

not quite building an exhaust manifold but hey ho

Dropped the sump and front diff fluid change. Bevel box =

Plus heaps of crud (thankfully not sludge) & hard stuff in pickup and the oil. Hope that job doesn't need to be done again anytime soon. Those 2 effing middle bolts!!! What a pain in the butt.

[Gonzokew]

Needed some tyres for the mot so bough 2x f1 asymmetric 2 £65 each not to bad.

Also attempted to fit my pioneer stereo and gave up quickly. Going to pay someone to do it properly I think

takes time that's for sure!

next job - tackling water pump & timing belt service - took my time since it's the first time doing the job - half a day to get old stuff out and started getting new stuff in

 

[jojo]

It's been a while since I've stuck an update on my S3, spending a lot of time on my A6 BiTdi instead! lol

But anyways, I finally had the 3" downpipe fitted to my 'project POS'! Got a few more niggly things to get sorted, and a smoke test, then I will book the car in for a custom map in the new year hopefully!

Huge thanks to @A3-Lee for fitting it!

 

[IPG]

Not what you want to see

 

[IPG]

Fixed up the ugly scratchy looking steering shroud - metho'd the rubbery stuff off. And was going to repaint in a matte black but looks alright the way it is without matte on it.

Win!

The inner CV went on my S3 after I had the boot changed, so I picked up a new driveshaft fron J&R CV Joints for £50 allin!

 

[IPG]

Slight rust manifestation under the battery

This is not acceptable!!!

Just waiting for it to dry before putting things back together.
