Just a quick update from my mobile phone. Haven't posted recently as if it has not been one thing with the car its been another.
So a long time back I replaced the wiper arm as it was not wiping properly as it had been bent to stop it from scraping the windscreen, not to mention it needed resprayed black as that was falling off.
I also got my cables replaced for the handbrake. Then buffed off the rust on the drums and repainted them.
Recently I've had the worse of vibration etc through the wheels so had to change the direction of where to focus working on the car.
I was going to do this in January but then had other problems. First I had a flat battery. So I replaced it only to have a flat tyre the next morning.
Replaced battery with Exide Premium EA852 85Ah 800CCA 5 Year Warranty
I bought two new ones as they were needing replaced, these were to take three days to come. So I went to use my other car which I don't use much, I found it had a flat battery and ceased rear drums
. Once my tyres came in I decided to take them off myself and hand them over to get it done on the spot to save me time as I know the guy well. Sadly I broke my locking nut doing this and then broke the replacement one aswell after finding my bar for taking them off was twisted. So had to buy two replacement keys each €16 and taking a weeks delivery from McGard in Germany. So now I've got it booked in for Tuesday to find out what terrible things are wrong.
Also in that time I changed the oil again (Helix Ultra ECT (C2/C3) 0W-30) just for peace of mind that's it has been cleaned out.
I also tried various additives with various levels of success.
Used the above in the car and have found it performs better and has better fuel efficiency
The only thing I really love doing to cars is adding aesthetic parts and due to all my troubles this has been the last thing on my mind. I have however bought a new set of rear mud guard from crew Audi on the forum. It also seems that my replica votex spoiler is coming finally !
Lastly I have bought a slew of cree LEDs to see how the market has changed since 2015 which was the last time I research end them for my other car.
Will update the post once I get back. I'm just posting it now while I have time free on my mobile.
