What did you and your MK2 do today?

[JamesLCR]

That's good!

Ive just bought a new Dodo Juice DA machine polisher & a pack of pads for £120 off ebay.

Thought id bite the bullet and go further into OCD territory

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=400572803739

That's what I need to do. I must have washed my car at least 3 times this week. Bloody birds. Who needs those flying hazards lol.

Is there a specific model of machine polisher worth buying?

James,


I beleive a DA (dual action) polisher is better than a rotory, as there is less chance of ballsing up your paintork.

Need to b a pro to be confident with a rotory polisher

Ordered my own VCDS cable from good old Ross, then decided to get some Vibe speakers to do a straight swap with my standard ones... Then got a new key fob... Thought feck it while I'm here I may aswell get an armrest as well lol

A DA will be perfect for what you need it for!

What polish are you using?

I hear the dodo juice pads are very good.

Could say that lol

Yeah my dad has an armrest in his A3 and as I drive that quite a bit it does annoy me not having one lol

Pretty much, with a dual action, he head oscillates in both directions, less chance of marring etc

A rotory only goes one way

Have a look on the net mate, theres a good number to choose from

Thats strange, you'd think it would be smaller than the standard.

Cracked the engine cover, snapped the MAF sensor clip, a good day all round I think you'd agree.

As I'm the part that the MAF sits in or the MAF itself? Got a spare MAF from a 2012 S3 if needed? Just send me a PM.

Cheers

No, just the clip that goes onto it, don't know what to do with it now. It feels a fairly snug fit, just don't want it sliding off. Cheers for the offer though.

No worries. Perhaps a cable tie just to be on the safe side.

Well its finally done.
