Today I got my car back from Tom (timmus).
Having read the praise and quality of Tom’s workmanship on the forum, I knew that Tom was who I was going to get to undertake my retrofit upgrades.
I had a shortlist of must haves and nice to haves, this felt like I was speccing a new car, I was genuinely excited about my 16 year old car. We had a few conversations around the technical aspects and what I wanted to achieve and settled on the following:
Bose
Xcarlink Bluetooth integration
Colour DIS
Now, I’m a fan of the OEM look so the majority of the conversation was around colour DIS being the only thing that would be visible and obviously not OEM. Whilst I had standard DIS on my previous A2 I’m also now used to cars with significantly more information to hand and when I read through what it could do I was sold, better still it wasn’t much more than standard DIS. When driving it looks like a modern Audi drive computer and doesn't look out of place at all so very chuffed.
I’ve had the three items done and I’m now a huge fan of colour DIS, it allows me to check virtually everything and has a massive amount of configurability. The supergeek in me loves it.
So, I’ve been to timmus’ towers, had my upgrades done and I can concur with the professionalism, knowledge and the quality of workmanship that everyone raves about. I’m a perfectionist so naturally set incredibly high standards however Tom has exceeded these, Tom himself is a perfectionist too so knew my A2 was safe in his hands.
Thanks to Tom and would highly recommend his retrofit services.
P.S.
After leaving timmus towers and playing with Colour DIS for the first 39 miles I’d achieved 52.7mpg, decided to fill and properly see what my FSI could do and achieved 54mpg for the next 50 miles. What was spectacular here was that 10 of the 50 miles was start/stop due to an accident on the M62 (adding 1hr10mins to the journey). If this wasn’t the case I’m sure this would have been over 60mpg, and what Audi quoted for extra urban. Decent range too with a potential range of up to 550 miles if doing motorway miles (momentum 99, 42l tank)
I’m pleased with my upgrades and so so pleased my FSI is in rude health!! ????
