Front seat repairs are well underway. Yes that is mould and horsehair in the seat backs !!

Some of that soldering looks a bit suspect. In particular the 8520 transistor bottom left. Dry joints? Someone's been in there before too.

The seats will be so much better, and smell better too no doubt!

Keep up the good work!

Ohh yeah! How good do these look?
A huge improvement by Kohl Rod & Custom Ltd. Sanitised, rebuilt and replaced foam, repaired and re-assembled. They look and feel way better.

This is my intake air temp sensor which after some troubleshooting a while ago I assumed was faulty. The car cuts boost at about 4500rpm.
Working with Neill at roissy.co.nz today we cleaned and tested the sensor, and proved it's working as it should. Back to the drawing board there!

Yus! Neill has done the business again and the dash is working.

That's a lot prettier. And you can see the fluid level now. It needed a little modification to fit, but looks much better.

Really need to get this car on the road.

Getting there. This has been a bit of a mission but will be worth it in the end.
Also, the trials and setbacks will soon fade from the memory cells further down the track when you are enjoying using it on a regular basis

Awesome thanks, really enjoyed the video.



I think Neill may have gone a little overboard with his Patrizia voice synthesiser diagnostic system.
Very clever and very cool.
Still pinning down exactly what inputs she wants, she's very particular, but we're working her out.

I decided to fit the 034Motorsport short shifter I've had in my cupboard for several years.

And it looks like you got paid to do it!

Haha, I thought the same.
It will be interesting to see what difference it makes driving.

$7.05 and 2p of weight saving.
Only thing is you no longer need to push down for reverse.
But there's a gate that stood you going directly from 5th to reverse.

What is that diagnostic system for?

The blue/white switchy thing is so he can provide every possible input into the voice system and make sure it's working. It seems to be, though he's waiting for a replacement for a multiplexer chip he thinks is faulty. All capacitors have been replaced.
He's also getting a reader to back up the voice EEPROMs so in theory he could manufacture a replacement once he has it all sussed.

The voice system itself has about 25 phrases for various things that were a replacement for lots of warning lights or buzzzers. It's pretty cool 80s tech.

Ok wow, didn't realise the quattro did that. I guess it's only the ones with the digital dash?

Washed off a few months of dust.
No test drive because workmen are ripping up the path outside my house!
