Hi
That's the picture of before
I'm going to try again this afternoon with a fine finish polish and see if I can get rid of the hazing
I think your right about it being a respray
Hi
I got my roof and bonnet keyed last week. ( as picture above )
After much buffing and polishing with black polish I have managed to get them looking not to bad
Only problem now is that the surrounding area of clear coat is all hazy and misty
Do I need to keep going at it with a fine finishing...
Yes I tried ebc yellow but have went back to standard pagid pads and not noticed any difference
The car still stops and flashes hazards when brake is pushed
I done over 40 hard laps at Knockhill and ripped the tread clean off the front left tyre due to heat
But never once got brake fade
Got them from euro car parts
I've since changed to ebc groved and yellow stuff
Went back to standard Pagid pads because yellow is pants
And don't buy the black coated discs as the costing burns away and all your bolts come loose and fall out due to them going slack as the paint burns off
Take off the front flaps under the front bumper ( helps with cooking brakes as well ) And get the front arb bush recall done as this cured my scrapping noise over bumps
The bush noise sounded like it was coming from the front and back but once they were done the noise went away
After trying a few sets of tyres in my 200t I've found tyres to be ok for grip but as I've gone for the cup 18" wheels I'm stuck with only 3 options for the 205/40/18
If I go up to 215 there is a lot more choice but what I'm wondering is has anyone else tried to fit larger width tyres on their...
I know I've not really got on with my 200t but it is quicker and handles better than a focus st
There is a few guys at work got focus st and I've managed to out drag them on straights and also out handle all of them around bends
Maybe it's the driver but the complaint they were saying about...
Defo fit a new box and engine after going into second instead of forth
All mechanicals would have been spun at over 10k by the driven wheels
Pictures are from a ctr that I changed into 2nd when going from 5th to 6th but got 2nd instead
Don't take a chance and change both box and engine
No going to alternate cars , I just ordered new grooved discs all round and rbf 660 brake fluid today
I fitted yellow ebc before track day but never checked the fluid , I had a look at fluid when I got home and it's black and completely knackered , wish I checked it before but seeing Audi...
Hi
I was up at the Trs reverse day Ob sat night
Didn't take the 200t on but used my s5 Audi
Bit of a mistake as the brake fluid boiled after two laps and I had no brakes for the rest of the night
Didn't really push car on due to this
There Was certainly Some nice fast renaults on track
Lots...
Go for halfords pro
I bought a set when I was 21 I'm now 51 and the set is still going strong
Broke a 17mm socket buy putting a scaff pole on the end of my ratchet and it got replaced under the lifetime warranty
Nice pic
And it was a very good track day
I thought I was doing OK in my wee clio against the meganes and along came this golf r lol you drive round me on the hairpin like I was going backwards
Andy ( papps ) and my face was a picture
I could not believe how quick the golf was
I'm working...
Hi
I'm in Scotland a little to far away , once I know my car is fixed , I think I will buy a proper cable and software
I think your all on the right track with something at fault and the reader not reading
I have used my 5053 reader on a 2004 Audi s4 and it read ok and also reset the airbags...
Thanks
I love fixing cars myself and always managed with obd
My Audi reads can obd ok but not the k/line so may think I'll bite the bullet and book it into Audi until I learn more about vagcom hex and maybe get a hold of a wiring diagram to check continuity of k line cables
Hi
I know I'm miles away from you and can't use your services
But can I pick your brain on the vagcom hex
I don't know how Indepth you got
I have just bought a s5 and the keyless entry seems to be turned off . I have gave Audi a buzz and they have confirmed that the car came with it
I have...
Very nice and enjoy
Had a few Evos in the past
Just watch out for the Ayc diff
When you go into a drift -slide don't steer into it as the steering wheel sensor tells the diff to turn car in the wrong direction
Secret is to use the throttle and keep the boot in and it sorts itself out and you...
Lol , yea don't condone speeding in built up areas
I'm always on the look out for pets and kids hiding behind cars or bushes etc
But people who do and video it are really asking to get done
