Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a front bumper for a S1 and rough price as the fibreglass one on the Stag I recently got it stuffed and seems like cheaper to replace than repair? Prefer a Dayz one, but even a stock RS4 front would do.

OK guys, 2nd last payment is pending and then I'm just waiting on gersfan.. if anyone knows him or how to get in contact with him please let me know or get him to contact me!

I shall allow him the weekend, if no response then I will place the order on Monday as we already have our minimum.

G`Day lads ,

just had the fun changing right hand front drive shaft,

not a bad job if the shaft stays as 1,

mine didn`t ,so had to find way to remove what was left in front diff,

after few rant`s i got it sorted,

you need to undo

sway bar,

bottom ball joint,

steering ball joint,

brake caliper & rotor,

i will add some more info soon,

i have old shaft so will look at costs of getting them serviced,

so if you need set we know costs,

cheer`s Chuckie.

i just sent it, sorry for the wait.. how do i find that ecu number?

should say it on the actual ecu

or get your vin fasted

ecu number..... i see you have a rs4s...

top off my head..

23710 0v800

or

23710 0v801

i have both of those

will let the 801 go if you need for 200, what i bought it for if you want to have a stock one just in case

Ok all monies are in, I'm just trying to download Andreis' maps before I place the order but it's proving rather difficult :( He has an oddball ECU and they need a factory image for base programming.

I think my serial>USB converter is playing up and dropping the connection periodically :(

Does anyone have a proper USB consult cable that we could borrow? (i.e. doesn't need an adapter)

All sorted Jim and it wasn't as simple as the ECU number, I had to download the whole image from Andreis' ECU as it is an odd model and they haven't done one before.. It is a series 2 with a Neo engine but not the tiptronic auto, 25GT-X or something like that :blink: I sent the image to NIStune and just heard back that it's doable.

Oh and it was my serial>USB adapter that was playig up :( chuckies worked fine!

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
