S2 vs Dog

[s2_bo]

Golden rule on the S2's - if it breaks upgrade it or remove it.

I guess RS2 Bumper would be the way forward as you have to get fog and indicator too. All though they are not to everyones likings on the Coupes.

Good luck anyway Andy and hope the Dog makes a speedy recovery too.

Just shows you why the brake upgrades are so important - stock S2 brakes are hopeless... Hope the dog pulls through ok.

Hi Guys,

Received a call from the owner this morning. Unfortunatley the guy was in tears on the phone and explained the dog died last night as a result of a collapsed lung.

From my own experience with pets getting run over the usual case is to pay a hefty vet bill then 2 days later the poor animal dies of shock or some internal bleeding, and after the speed i went into Jess i was shocked to see her still walking.

The guy was very apologetic and offered to pay for the damage to the car which is reassuring. The question came about what car was it, and he seemed to grimace when i told him. I guess he knows a little about audis!

There is a left fog and indicator on ebay so ill snatch them up this afternoon.

As for insurance, my excess is 1350, so its fairly pointless claiming (high compulsory due to age and high voluntary to get the car insured for just under £2k/year).

I do like the RS2 bumper on the coupe. Does anyone know if this would have any massive implications on my insurance premium and an idea of price? Cant find any on vag parts.

If i got an RS2 bumper would i need the fog and indicator are would they be built into the RS2 one?

Cheers,

Andy

Bumpers are still available new from Audi chaps.
Sonic! If you are going to get a fog from ebay, make sure it's the correct one first. There are two different units. Both bolt up, but one of the versions has a thinner thickness glass front. Fitted it sits further into the bumper recess and creates a step between it and the indicator next to it. It's glass lens also has a different pattern.

Pics to show what I mean;





There is an easy route for a new one "without" buying a complete foglight.
You can buy just the case on it's own (glass is bonded to the case so comes with it) and a fitting kit to transfer the internals of the old light (the ellipsoidal lense itself) into the new case.

passenger side = Fog lamp lens - LH = 8A0 941 723,
Fitting kit for above = 893 998 135.

I went this route, IIRC so did Steve (fatty). Two new fogs for the price of one complete brand new fog.

Really sorry to hear that Andy.

RS2 bumper has different shaped indicators and fogs, They are round at the edges.

If you are sticking with the S2 bumper i have most likely got a for and an indicator you can have for free. It looks from your photos above that the fog is the black sort, this is the older version where you have lines over the ellipsoid. You can see the differences in the photos above.

Let me know what sort you have and ill dig them out to check they are working and not damaged.

Take care.

Cheers Jason and bo,

Ive had a look at the fog light and its the black one. The item on ebay i was looking at is this one which appears to be the wrong one. Ill chase up those part numbers after christmas

The light seems to work fine, so a new casing and glass should have that sorted.

Bo, much appreciated

Hi Andy,

I just checked and i have the right unit for you. Unfortunately the only indicator i have is for the left side so you will have to get that elsewhere.

Can you PM me your address, then ill get this sent out to you mid next week.

Cheers.
Bo

Gutted about what happened to the car buddy.

Gutted about the dog to i wouldn't have the heart to ask for the money to repary it. I know what its like losing a life long friend. hope everythng get's sorted for ya bloody christmas!

[4WheelDrifter]

******. Sorry to read this Andy. I hope you can get the car sorted out ok, it's shame the dog couldn't be fixed.

I hit a fox a couple of months ago. There wasn't much left of it after I hit it, there wasn't much left of the front spoiler, undertray and wheel arch liner either. And the ****** made a hole in the A/C condensor. It ended up about £1k worth of damage. Luckily nothing structural was damaged.

[Keeper of The Kitten]

Shucks, poor dog - yeah I know how that feels too.

Just have to make the best of a bad sequence of events now.
