Ha I've been caught out by the exact same thing. My S8's compressor is also grumbling at the moment too. They are only £200 for NRF units which seem to work pretty well. Should be about an hour's work for a garage with an AC machine to change it.

I could print them, but they would have visible layer lines up the side of it which wouldn't look very good given how visible it is. It really needs to be moulded tbh and I don't have facilities to do that.

Definitely find a donor to get the harness from. If you follow the wires back from the seat connectors, you can find each junction where the seat heating is joined to the main harness. You can then split the heated seat wires out, labelling each junction as you go which gives you a separate seat har...

Welcome We didn't get the D2 TDIs in the UK so it would be cool to hear your experience with it for sure. I have an Allroad with the 2.5TDI engine.

4A5035539, its NLA as far as I know - Tradition ran out a couple of years ago and haven't made any more. Most places are selling the B5 version as compatible, but it sits at the wrong angle for the D2.

You must have the engine running before you remove the fill plug otherwise you'll lose 2-3 litres of oil. The fill level is at 35-45C, so start it from cold, with the car level, fill until it dribbles out, then use VCDS to monitor the gearbox temperature. It will keep dripping as it warms up, then p...

I can check on shipping glass. It would need a pretty sturdy crate constructing for it from plywood so size and weight would be tricky to calculate. I'm still buying from Prestige yeah, although I think I have more D2 stock than they do now as they are moving on to later models to stay relevant with...

The Revos are super light so good for the track compared to the Q7s I had on before. Manual does make the car a joy to drive but its not easy on RHD since there is nowhere to put the clutch pedal stuff. This is my 2nd design, and on its fourth iteration, and its still not quite right, but it is func...

Hey Marty :) The rear parking sensor is a bit of a job yeah, especially if you have a blind. The other forum was pretty unstable and fell over a lot, then about this time last year it was down for a month. Having seen a campaign of cyberattacks on small poorly-maintained websites such as forums and ...

The main problem with the fluid exchange people is that they always use some multi-vehicle generic crap oil and will refuse to use anything else because thats where all their profit margin is. Given how sensitive these gearboxes are, I can't recommend anyone who won't use proper oil, which IMO is ei...
