Today I.....

Today I (late yesterday) blew Albert up. At 60mph there was a bang, horrendous noise and no power. Checked the rear view, no smoke so assumed nothing catastrophic, pulled over slowly, still no smoke so limped home at 20mph. He, a TDI, had manged to blow off the rubber pipe that connects to the EGR, he had driven 1/2 mile home normally aspirated. The hose clip has disappeared so I don't yet know if it failed or had not been secured correctly. If it wasn't secured correctly that would have been my mistake years ago.
Thank fully had a correct size clip so Albert is back in action ?

Hope that it's only that, nasty shock I'll bet.

Been thinking about it and can’t imagine what the noise was. I suspect the turbo would have been massively unbalanced due to no boost but I don’t know if that can cause problems? It was consistent and has now gone.

Probably was the turbo. Once no back pressure was on the compressor, the Turbo would accelerate incredibly fast.
Good job the Turbo didn't let go!

Today I recieved another order of material, to recover the headlining and door pillars for Smurf. At least the biscuit is cleaned off ready, I HATE that job!

Full write up needed please Tom :)
Afternoon Steve,

I’m about to hit the road for the week and will fill in the gaps on how I did it upon return or one evening throughout the week.

For now though, this is what was removed from the factory A2 grill to simply push the A4 Grill into place:

Currently adhered with a strip of UHB tape (same as the footrests) both top and bottom. I’ve not yet adhered the A2 grill fins to the A4 grill.

Kind regards,

Tom

Nah, cream version of what I used in Jelly on the bigger roll, and cream faux leather on the small roll. The faux leather is supposed to be stretchable like the material. We will see!

Today, i had a new undertray fitted to my 1.4TDI, got a garage to fit the tray I got from Audi UK (£54 with sound deadening pre attached) as easier if you have a lift. The original was missing several bolts! No wonder it worked loose - now a lot quieter!
This prompted me to buy a new undertray today. There are only 7 left in the Audi UK stock at that low price.....only for Tdi,s though sadly as petrol ones are NLA from Audi.
