Hi,
I have been busy with A2.
First of all, stainless exhaust system I made worked very well but it was like a boy/girl racer and my friendly mechanic advise me that to replace.
This is due to too much attention from the Police, so I bought OEM back box from eBay for £90 delivered. It turns out that fit was OK with stainless mid box I made and it is very quiet and my girl is happy that it won't attract attention.
It passed MOT but my hydro-carbon value is high due to burning oil a little.
When the car got quiet after changing exhaust, you will notice so many little noises in the car.
In particular, I can hear noise from dashboard fittings. My head light switch has bit of gap everywhere and it moves a little. Is there anything I can do to fit better?
I will be changing 1.4 engine to 18k miles 2nd hand engine soon. I will be fitting a new cam belt kits, clutch, oil breezer separator and so on.
Can you think of anything else? I might need to replace exhaust manifold just in case my CAT is damaged by oil.
Cheers
Atchi
