[Henkjan]

[Jonas_R]

Yup what we call a van in Denmark, No rear seats just a big trunk

This car is a van???

Managed to get some work done today

Small update:

Have had some problems with the ignition lock and I bought a new one a while back.

Got the old one out and It was cracked, so no wonder I had problems starting the car:


However the new one I got from my audi dealer was also cracked, but I had to install it anyway. I'm hoping my dealer will give me a new one.


Since the speedometer was out to change the ignition lock I also decided to install my RS2 speedometer. I was considering change the kilometers, but they are very close, so I think I will just live with the 35.000 km difference.




The car have had a really bad radio connection, so took a look at the ariel and surprise surprise it was not connected properly.


Installed a shark finn ariel instead, but I need some kinda adaptor between the radio wires:





Got my weight stickers on the car, which are need because it is a van. Fine is 100£ so good that was sorted.


And finally I bought a new S2 specific sticker for the fuse box, since it was missing.

That looks ace, was going to look for a 7A cover but now I'm thinking this

[Error404]

Yup
Can't PM on my phone I'll send you my address when I get to work

[Jonas_R]

Hey Jonas if you want I can alter the harness for free

That would be great, could you PM me your address? Then I can get it shipped this weekend. And you can just ship it back with the oil cooler duct.

I've read about issues of premature coil pack failures with covers like that because of retained heat.

Otherwise carry on, build is progressing very nicely.

I ran TFSI coils on my stage 3 2.7 biturbo and they have covers over them. I never had a coil pack fail for 30.000 km. I still think they can went heat with this valve cover, but anyway if one should die every 10.000 km then they will still last 3 years or something.

Yup it needs some milling, but that is easily done.

[irishs2]

Nice. I like that coil cover, but you need to mill the cam cover for it to fit.

[Jonas_R]

New valve cover installed

So finally got some time to install Error404's TFSI harness, my TFSi coils and new valve cover.

A small snag was that I did not tell Error that my coils all point the same way but not that big of a deal.

Some pictures:

[Jonas_R]

So painted my calipers black with paint from Foliatec, but the results was not really that great.






So I'm blasting them and changing seals and pistons and I think I will get my friend who spray paints cars to paint them black.
