Today I.....

It was done at a proper body shop Malcy and the cost was £250 for all four wheel arches. 👍

Good grief! That’s very reasonable. I had one arch repainted last year by a chipsaway franchise, cost £270 😱. I wasn’t quibbling at the time because it was paid for very generously by the guy who accidentally scraped it. I was told that the high cost was due to the satin finish…
 
Perhaps not your fault Malcy. Over time the matt finish does turn satin in appearance due to washing and polish. Both satin and matt finishes look good. 👌

Does anyone know if there is a specific fuse for the webasto. Mine did not fire up today at 2deg

The eco button was not on so it should have. Worked perfectly last year

Is there anything else to check on the webasto. Does it appear in any of the vcds scans ?

Cheers. Paul

Paul, the Webasto may not have fired up due to stale fuel in the line. Suggest you use VCDS and run the various output test to cycle the Webasto and hopefully purge the fuel line.

Assuming both the battery and alternator are healthy. The climate also functional.

S126 a 60A fuse also known as fuse B which is off to the side of the fuses and pretty sure you need to drop the drivers storage panel to access it.

Fuses 14, 30, 31 and 38 also need checking according to the wiring diagram.
 
Not quite today, but earlier this week drove 640 miles up North with a car full of fencing, trees and log splitter on the Cross Climate 2's just fitted to the pepperpots and new Osram Night breaker Laser bulbs to help guide the way. Comfortable, uneventful journey in our AUA car at 41mpg. Next job to confirm the Spikes Spider Compact 'chains' live up to their claims to be 'easy fit'!

Today I finished my DIS install to my project A2 with the connection to the info bus /stereo after starting the install yesterday. All thanks to the info obtained on here 👍.

But already I’m thinking of colour DIS and I’m now looking at modding my old cluster with a 3dcolormfd unit, then I could bung the DIS cluster into the wife’s A2 🤣🤣

MOT done and we’re great for another year. Clean bill of health and no advisories…. This car wants for nothing!

Racking up the mileage now of my FSI, 411 miles done in the last 12 months (only gets driven to maintain its health) and we’re up to 29.1k now. I reckon it’ll hit 30k on its 21st birthday in two years! 🤣 the archetypal beauty queen.

Slightly odd concept that I’ve spent more on road tax than I have on fuelling it 🤔
