So how many of us SORN our old Audi's as soon as the dreaded salt start going down? Ive done this since 1998 so thats 20 years now.. This year as previous years I have a list that is longer than expected but it keeps the old Cq in top condition
So the list:
1. Cambelt, waterpump and idler pulley change. (hard to believe its over 5 years since this engine went in)
Done
2. Dash clock stopped (my last repair to this was 12 years ago so hope after this year it lasts another 12 years)
Done
3. Rear brake pipe corrosion picked up on MOT. (nothing major but better sort whilst its an easy fix)
Done
4. Replace the short flexi pipe from the wastgate as during the remap Mark's smoke test detected it was leaking/split. -
Done
5. Annual spark plug, rotor arm and disi cap swap (a pain job on this car) -
Done
6. passenger seat back tip catch cable snapped, another awkward job and might have to send away if seat has to be un-stitched.
7. All Auxiliary belts
Done
8. Uprated alternator (TBD)
New earth lead sorted issue
9. Re-waxoyl internal panels (last done many years ago)
Done
10. Re-calibrate bargraph voltmeter
11. Sort alarm ultrasonic (stopped Working in May...)
12. (late addition) Rubber Exhaust hangers need replacing
Done
At the same time I have a wet room to install in our house....
