A good park is to be treasured.

Can you reserve it ?

;D

And she still builds boost beautifully.

The car is back from its annual service with Brodie European. Handbrake serviced and repaired (still needs new handbrake cables), new OEM N75 valve to replace the knackered MAC valve and a new 0.3 bar oil pressure switch. The car is boosting super smooth and strong with the new solenoid and the brakes feel great (handbrake aside, which is still tight due to those stretched cables). Unfortunately the high pressure hydraulic steering hose is leaking and will need replacing.

I?ve also simplified my tune set up. Only running the one boost map now (factory 1.3-1.4 bar). It?s still fast for what it is and no real point pushing it. It feels great to be honest.

If anyone has a source for the high pressure steering hose and/or handbrake cables can you please let me know?

Thanks Horch, I?ll do some research to see if they might be suitable.

Quite a big difference in the inside diameter of the solenoid fittings. Factory valve on top and MAC valve below. Might explain why boost response was poor with the MAC valve when top of wastegate open to atmosphere.

Brand new OEM handbrake cables have arrive via Giltrap Audi Parts from Audi Tradition. Was a painless process and less expensive than I feared. If you have any parts you need from Audi Tradition try Aubrey and let him know you?re a VASKr: [email protected]

Now that daylight savings has ended I can geek out on this awesome red/orange night time illumination a bit more often? this is the best colour for maintaining good night vision and it just happens to make the car look like a space ship inside. The first time I experienced this setup was driving my B5 A4 avant when I had it for an extended overnight test drive in 2001. Loved it ever since.

Looks excellent, I love the 90s red dash

It was hosing down most of the afternoon. I prepped the car for tomorrow?s car show (https://www.concours.org.nz/) in the carport. No heated, carpeted garages here! She came up ok. Black is tricky but some wax/sealant does wonders. Looking forward to it tomorrow. Come on down if you are floating around (excuse the pun). Weather looking better than today at least.

Looking very Lush!

If you find yourself chasing swirls and other black paint issues.

This stuff works a treat, Apply it in a karate Kid manner, Wax on, *Wait till it hazes up* Wax off makes black paint pop like crazy!

Today she turned 220,000km, rewarding me with a perfect, crisp cold start and impeccable manners driving to collect my son from swimming practise.
