Re: The Strut Eater 5000

How has the heat shrink worked over the years? I just ordered heats shrink for my new shocks. No issues with moisture or anything?

Re: 2002 A8L W12 restoration

Managed to find a used W12 grille for sale. Mine was missing a few of the metal pieces. The used one was only missing 2 and had a much cleaner W12 badge so I stole 2 from my oringal grille and used epoxy to transfer them. An interesting note is that even row nr 4 and 5 look similar they differ ...

Re: Solar sunroof intermittent now not working


Here are some current flow diagrams assuming you have a multimeter it's just a case of tracing where the power stops flowing.


I tried to attach the images but didn't work will try to send you a message.

[Edit]
Same issue when trying to upload the diagrams but maybe you can find them yourself ...

Re: Digital tv receiver


Going away from RSE and considering RNS-D vs RNS-E one of the "features" of the RNS-D is that IIRC it supports both NTSC and PAL colour inputs, I "think" RNS-E is PAL only.

As for mirroring the RNS-D screen to the rear seats, the quality/resolution would be awful so I'd be really surprised if it ...

Re: 2002 A8L W12 restoration


This is the datasheet for that relay. It might give some ideas on testing AND a specification for a replacement.

Thanks. Yeah I found the correct replacement it's the exact same one. Only $13 for 2 pcs so will have a spare. I used that spec shet when measuring and it looks like the coil is ...

Re: 2002 A8L W12 restoration

Today I stared diagnosing the fridge. When testing it for the first time it would flicker on and off constantly but now it won't turn on at all.

I made a test harness to diagnose it away from the car with a spare battery. It showed no response. Checking with the multimeter I find that the on/off ...
