    So ALL the modules were updates as it was obvious the they had NOT been done in a long while!
    The chassis service stayed off for a few months but did return (more on this later).

    I contacted the servicing dealer in regards to the updates but was fobbed off! The answer I got was updates that reset the service indicator are only carried out ? It actually states on the invoice for the service updates are performed.

    I would strongly advise ANYONE who has a service carried out the main agents ask for a print off Pre & post update/service!

    Next on the list was this!








    I sourced it direct, I have to say they are a great company to deal with.

    I was initially a bit dissapointed with the sound as it was pretty quiet no way near as nice as the J.T Tuning cat back I had on my 2.5T.

    Anyway after a couple of weeks the baffles finally settled in and it sounds fantastic!

    Ordered some parts from IPD.


    The hose fit was a waste of time as bit was too short! I also found this!


    Which would explain the lack of continuous boost.
    I also fitted one of there MAC valves, upto now I can't say I've noticed any difference nor have I had any issues. I will more than likely fit a heavy pierburg valve over winter when I do some more jobs.

    I had originally planned on upping the power and generally making it more of a drivers car.



    I ordered these back in March, but hit a hiccup in that they Did not fit even though several retailers told me they would!

    Don't worry they were only fitted for a month or so whilst I had the Pegasus wheels refurbed.

    Back to the chassis service light, after a couple of months trouble free motoring this returned.
    When a checked on Vida it was now showing a damper fault. On further inspection it was found that the N/S/F damper had let go!
    So I did a bit of digging and managed to source a set of Monroe dampers (this is the only non O.E.M service item on the car so to speak).

    I also thought it would be prudent to start a full refresh of the suspension.

    So that's were I'm at, I only fitted the dampers a couple of weeks ago (they've been built for a couple of months!)



    This is how it sits now, it has been in storage since August 1st as I bought another R to use as a daily to keep the miles off of this.

    But more on that later : )

    It is an antibacterial agent that initially foams up so as to coat all of the evaporator, when dissolves it can then be passed through the ducting system. It also leaves a lemony 'clean' smell behind.
    Would you mind sharing the product name?

    Here you go,

    Unfortunately I believe it is a 'Tade Only' product but we'll worth it tracking down a supplier.

    Thanks for sharing the product names!

    The airtune has a nice review on the detailingworld.co.uk http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=377622 website.
    It seems a very fine product.

    Also sent an email to Sol-X to help me find a supplier.

    I have used both of there A/C products, but the Sanitiser Pro is the one that foams up & in my opinion is the better one to use as it Should be the most effective.

    If you CANT find a supplier drop me a P.M & I'll see how much it is to courier a couple cans out as you CANNOT send aerosols via R.M now : (
