ABY+ my version

Well after fully stripping the dash pod and nipping all joints on all connectors all the way to the speed sensor, I now have a fully working speedo...
Finally got tall the parts for my roof rack sorted, the little plastic bits in the roof gutter where a pig to get out but they came out without breaking so I modded them a little to enable them to go in and out easier.

Thule Aero bars...

and the hole cover thingy


and now heading towards the weekends task... I suspect with the age the car isn't boosting correctly, maybe I am used to my bike too much but I expect a bit more grunt from my I5 lol...
So a new one of these

and some "non logo'd" set of these


should hopefully help, as I noticed when the bumper was off that the intercooler has the O ring and no hose. All other aspects will be checked when in there but it is a step in the right direction.

I would like to say a huge thanks to all at Roose for turning around a very quick order, as I didn't want any logo's on the hoses... having had nothing but issues with Samco and SFS over the years I am glad to see Roose catering for the Audi market...

oh and I may have got a set of speaker grills but it is a secret at the moment lol

Are your aero wipers at their rest position in that pic Flynn?

they were yesterday but took them off and tweaked the drivers side as the arm needed a slight curve adding to it as it was catching the blade, they sit more hidden today.
I'll snap a pic in daylight

Not a day of pics as time was limited but all stock boost hoses replaced with the Roose boost kit, I bought the clamp kit as well and I thought they came so they didn't damage the hoses.
Anyway, all fitted without drama and things at fault were
DV was shot (no real surprise, lol)
Small bore vacuum tube perished from inlet to DV
The small heat resistant hose from the WGFV to the WG was split under the jubilee clip at the WG end so that was trimmed but a new one will be required as I don't like to shorten hose runs but it will do for now.
But most interesting, I ran fault codes and cleared them then I looked at the measuring blocks, the throttle position angle was only opening to 90.8% at the pedal but 98.9% at the throttle plate. So with a quick adjustment of the throttle cable at the inlet had the pedal now producing the same 98.9%

You'll be in for a shock when you get the price of that hose from the wastegate to he N75, it's around £65 IIRC
