My TT QS

Re: My new car. TTQS

I did the opersite and got a LHD rear light and a red led so I had both with the white spot.

I've seen this mod. So what happens when you brake or reverse? You've said you fitted a red LED... so does it light up when you chuck it in reverse?

Bit like mine now. Looks like some nice Amsterdam lighting..lol! Not that the reverse light is much use in the first place.

All it does is make the rear fog light clear so you need to put a red LED build in so when the rear fog is switched on its still bright red. As for the reverse it stays white nothing has changed there.

Re: My new car. TTQS

As winter is here and my bulbs were a little dim/pink for xenons I replaced them along with SMD LED side lights.

Much fresher and better..

Re: My new car. TTQS

Much better. Miss mine a lot at this time of year! Fml!

Yeah makes a big difference with these dark nights now..

Have you still got the ST? Not tempted by another TT for winter?

 

[Gally]

Re: My new car. TTQS

Still got it mate, have a member interested in it at the moment and another chap from up North also interested.

I'd really like another TT, especially for winter mate. Not sure what is next if I do sell.

Re: My new car. TTQS

Well the TT's end was almost nigh. I had it up for sale for £5850.00 and got no interest other than a cheeky offer of 5k which I decided I was going to take. All was going well and then the guy disappeared. Surprise surprise. This spurred me to spend some money on it so I went and got it remapped to keep some interest in it. Only a Revo generic "stage 1" map as I wanted it done there and then and it doesn't have any mods to warrant a custom jobby. Had it leak tested, the Bailey recirc was leaking like a siv and meant I was running spring pressure. Not the best to say the least and would be why it only made 225bhp at a recent rolling road. So replaced it with a brand new standard OEM item and off he went with the map.

Now I wasn't expecting too much being generic revo map and mine already being "up" on a 225. Well, I was wrong. He took it out on the road to set it up and came back with a big grin on his face. He didn't have to advance the timing much and said it was loving boost. According to the maf reading of 219 should be over 270bhp.

Feels like it flys now and a different car to drive. Almost got some love for it again..

Re: My new car. TTQS

Awesome lol. It's begging you to keep it.

 

[Gally]

Re: My new car. TTQS

5k! For a QS! Jeeeeez!

The QS is 240 as standard mate. 3.2 is 250.

Re: My new car. TTQS

Good results TomSx - mine hit 223.3 after a local chap identified my MAF was failing. AMD Essex, what a bunch of cowboys. "Yeah mate, it's only put out 240 after a larger TIP and remap because it needs to learn the map". BS asshole, no one likes the mapping here.

Lol at learn the map. Every day is a school day for ECU's..

Nice result there Tom, you should keep it.

Good to know your thoughts on them, they're local to me & I've been looking at S4's.

I'm far from a fan of the TT but quite like that, deal on the RB5?

TBH Craig, the service was fine. Booked in, took the money and did what they say they'd do, i.e. fit the parts and remap it.

Failing to put my OEM parts back in the boot (as requested, so a loss on the performance filter, airbox and original TIP), taking over two hours longer than stated (making me very late for an important event, dinner) and failing to check the car properly before and after the mapping and engine mods (clearly fucked the MAF while there, as the car made 225 on the nose standard, while logging) means they'll not be getting any business in the future.

Too safe bored ?

They knackered my MAF too. Also told me they couldn't get more than 210/220bhp out of mine. 2 hours later it hit as near as makes no difference 250. God knows what they were playing at. Service has always been good though.

To be honest its a great car. Quick, comfy (ish), Bose stereo for the choons, good of fuel (for what it is). I just seem to have some disease where as I have a car for 3 months I start looking at what's about and then by 6 months I get it in my head I need a new car..lol! I blame CS and the internet.

Re: My new car. TTQS

Well the car is still here...just.

Clutch has started to slip time to time in 6th from low revs so this little lot has been purchased -

New clutch, DMF and release bearing. Cost me the best part of £450.00.

Also just ordered a Badger 5 3" Tip for good measure. Lots of goods gains have been reported and proven by them.

Oh and a Haldex oil and filter should be on its way too.

 

[JD]

Re: My new car. TTQS

Good to see. I need mine doing soon. Unsure whether it's an Scrooge job or whether I need to get it done somewhere... what are you planning on doing, TomSx?

I've found a new love for mine as well, having replaced the oil/pickup pipe I'm really in the market for a few mods, incl simplifying the BAM PCV system to a simple "one tube" system lol;

Re: My new car. TTQS

I can do it dude.

 

[_Tom]

Re: My new car. TTQS

Haldex or the Clutch?

I need my PCV system checked tbh. It scares me though.

So your keeping it then

Re: My new car. TTQS

Yeah for now. All the work other than the TIP needs to be done regardless tbh.

Are you going to detail that too?

 

[JD]

Re: My new car. TTQS

I can do it dude.

Don't want to be a dick about this, so tell me to F off, but what can you fit? Pretty much anything? As think Cambelt is due, so planned to do cambelt, aux and new water pump with metal impeller!!

Making a list of general stuff to upgrade/maintenance before modding. So next is cambelt and sparks, as well as simplify PCV system. Then spacers, springs, rARB...

 

[JD]

Re: My new car. TTQS

You and Waitey should get together. You'd make a great couple, finishing each others sentences et al

 

[Scrooge]

Re: My new car. TTQS

I can do pretty much anything, cambelts included but I prefer not to do the belts as people like AMD do it silly cheap anyhoo and you get a an invoice lol

We should, gotta get him to change his dress sense though.

Fair, very fair. I'll enquire.

Haha!

R32 chap. Don't need much more as it's not a track/all out fast road car.

I think I really could do with a Clio. Something stupid, that's lowered, loud, stripped etc and use the Panzer for long journeys.

Yeah I've heard its a good upgrade to do both front and rear.

As for the second part, you'd soon get fed up.

Do you know the part number for the pick up pipe? I need mine done.

Re: My new car. TTQS

I miss my V6 a lot.... i've been looking!

Yeah, no doubt buddy, re the Clio.

Both would dial out some body roll, but you'd keep the under steer nature of the chassis, which is what I want to get rid of.

yeah the pickup pipe for mine was �7.30. for anyone interested the part no was 06A-115-251, you will also need an o-ring seal p/n N0282222 (although funnily enough the price for that was �2.82!!).
Also, the genuine audi sealant p/n is D176404A2 (�15.44)

Total came to about £35. Make certain it has "A" not "B" as that's a shorter, A4B5 version.

Thanks matey. The rear ARB's around £150 isn't it?
