[t0m]

Audi jokers haha, wait will be worth it, I put mine with the heads up, majority are thread up if you know what I mean - fiddly but looks better in my opinion.

We got our hands in but was tight, easier to drop the front dampers.

Audi are indeed mate! Still, I am ringing them tomorrow as it should be delivered to them..

Cheers for the info mate, will take on board..

 

[t0m]

Not a big update but my LED 501's turned up today... will fit them at the weekend

ALSO....

-New MAF posted out today..
-Ringing Audi tomorrow to check my S3 brace has arrived.
-SFS tip looks to have finally turned up..

Also got my eye on something else lol but not saying a word.

 

[t0m]

New MAF turned up today so went and fitted it, car feels MUCH better! More responsive, feels quicker to me 100%... Needs to be logged but this will be done soon I hope.

Out with the old

In with the new

Another job done.

Got a call from Audi today, my S3 brace is in.. Getting my mum to collect it for me tomorrow lol as I'm at work and can't get it till Saturday otherwise...

So that'll be ready for fitting, new LED sidelights and the new JR cone under my bed lol.

Happy the car feels back to where it was at sweet stage 2 boost now but will confirm again that all is well next time I take her out.

 

[EL]

Great news bud, glad the cars back to life

 

[t0m]

Feels alot better mate. Only a short drive tonight mind, but I'll stretch her legs soon and see how she copes then. Initial feeling is great though, more responsive and more through the gears

The rr day will tell me what power she's running at and if my thoughts are correct or not..

 

[EL]

They logged it for you last time right? We can do it again whilst it's there to do a comparison

Fitted the new filter today

Brad came round and picked up the old one which was actually in very good condition and not that dirty, I just fancied a new one lol.

 

[brad1]

Yeah mate sounds sucky sucky with 1.9 bar through it haha

 

[RDS]

My motors exactly the same mate, thats why I didnt put a full shot of it on with them horrible wheels

Got the dye just waiting for my filter now

 

[JamJay]

Tom, consider resetting the ECU depending on how long you've had a broken MAF, the ECU learns to be cr@p if that's what the MAF has been telling it. A reset will allow the ECU to make its own mind up again .

Haha, she did sound quite vocal as you drove up out my road

Ha ha, it's a bad time of the year for the roads mate! Looking like it's going to warm up to nearly double digits by the end of the week so I think I'll be giving the car a good clean

Oooh, let me know how the dye goes mate! Put some pics up after please..

I should know this but just to check, how do you fully reset it?

 

[big eck]

I think you disconnect the battery for 15mins to reset it.

Cheers mate, I know you have to disconnect it but wasn't sure how long?

 

[EL]

LED lights look real good mate. Still haven't fitted mine (lazy ass I know). If I don't like the ones I have got I will be getting these instead

 

[JamJay]

Cheers mate, I know you have to disconnect it but wasn't sure how long?

I left mine around 30mins and then reconnected. Just take off the negative battery terminal, that's all buuut take great care when tightening the terminal bolts, they are weak and if you snap one the only way to get a new one from SEAT/AUDI/VW is to buy a whole new negative battery terminal harness which is £40ish, as I found out. I ran off to the scrap yard and luckily managed to find one on an old Ford Escort which uses the same size bolt.
