@Swampy1982 here is a link to my original thread on fixing the AUC sensor

Despite changing the internal sensor which was easy to do I still get the AUC sensor code when scanned, not too bothered as its a feature thats not important it just detects outside air quality and if it picks up traffic fumes it will close the fresh air intake flap on the heating/aircon system to stop it getting into the cabin.

Brilliant, ill have a read, thanks a lot

In other news, these came out today

Roof motor is already relocated but worth taking out anyway

Also swaped all internal bulbs for white LED to modernise a bit

Oh, and swapped this and did an aircon bomb

 

[Swampy1982]

OK, so progress

Rear tyres replaced with pirelli p zero all round.

Bilstein B4 and Eibach springs ordered

Also DISA rebuild kit

And planning on working on these this weekend, trying to change to satin black...

 

[Swampy1982]

One other important update I forgot to mention... its very important after all.... forum sticker


Give me a wave if you see me out

 

[Swampy1982]

Primered up, waiting to dry so I can wet sand back and apply the black. Who knows what it'll end up like...

Gave her a good clean







And previous owner sent me pics of the brake work that was done, blue calipers and braided custom hoses

 

[Swampy1982]

DISA done, old one was alright to be fair but preventative maintance is always good, X8R rebuild kit, easy to do

 

[mr.tourette]

busy boy eh

Next on the list is home steering wheel retrim!

 

[Swampy1982]

Steering wheel progressing

 

[mr.tourette]

wow.. well done, that looks really good

 

[Swampy1982]

It's not without super glue! The screw holes snapped off in the process... Still, colour looks good in my opinion

 

[Swampy1982]

She's back in, I think she goes nicely with the satin black dash. The blue accents against the blue brakes keeping in the black, silver and blue theme

I think it just modernises the interior a bit

Thanks man, appreciated.

All the trim is just the old stuff rubbed down and painted out a rattle can. Easy enough to do
