Great job, that engine bay looks superb now.

Thanks guys, I did my best

Got her on a "shaker" (don't know the right word) and looks like subframe bushed have slight movement and there is a knock coming from the suspension when going over bumps, so next big job is front suspension overhaul.

it's looking amazing, janis - you'll need to get a turbo upgrade next for a tasty 300+bhp!!

C4 Front Strut Bearing Replacement

Got her on a "shaker" (don't know the right word) and looks like subframe bushed have slight movement and there is a knock coming from the suspension when going over bumps, so next big job is front suspension overhaul.

While I am not saying that the C4 front subframe bushings don't have issues, I am guessing that the knock on bumps is the upper strut mount(s). These are easy to do from the top. You don't even need to jack the car off the ground. In fact you are best to leave the car on the ground. As little as 15 minutes a side.

Here is a procedure that I wrote: http://forums.quattroworld.com/s4s6/msgs/309288.phtml

Very nice work on your engine. Looks way better.

The photoshop of the suspension would be cool for all us C4 owners.

Looking forward to further updates, including the front suspension, as I now have a knocking in mine after doing it.

Kind regards.

Got some Skull recommended LED's, and couldn't be happier. Only places I left OEM is high beam (comes out red) and will be swapping OEM back in autocheck too, as it's too red for my liking. Also used these for climate control. Not the best pictures, but you get the idea.

Received my MAF hose, and John lent me bungs so I can properly test the system over weekend. Runs better, but still missing 0.3/0.4 bar somewhere

Which LEDs did you get Janis.

Which LEDs did you get Janis.

eBay item 400929138880. They fir perfectly, don't be tempted to go for cheap ones, they don't fit or work properly. 20 will cover climate control and dashboard.

Same seller also sells LED for switches which I will definately purchase
