just so u know the boost gauge currently is useless until u get it out of limp mode... it wont go more than 6lbs of boost if im not mistaken... but what other plans do u have for it??

 

engine: fully stock has a leak on one of the power steering hoses and also is leaking anti freeze from the area where the oil filter goes, pls chime in this problems guys, also car is in limp mode and does not have any cell codes or check engine light, and temp gauge w

the one time clamps on the power steering cooler go bad after a while, replace them both. a new sandwhich plate will fix you coolant leak. a new coolant temp sensor is 25$, and all your problems are solved. pull a batter wire for more than 10 mins, and the ecu will get reset = no limp mode. see what happens then

 

thanks going to try this as soon as the temp censor comes in

 

Make sure to dig up your radio code before disconnecting the battery. Since you still have the stock unit in there, it'll need a car-specific code for you to be able to listen to the radio after disconnecting the battery. The code *should* be in your owner's manual, if its not, well hopefully someone else chimes in on here that knows where to pull it from; I think its physically written on the back of the radio, which is a pain to get to, but I could be wrong so anyone else that can shed better light, please do

As for the car, she looks good man, can't wait to see the build progress. Also, maybe it was just the picture, but it looks like you could use a headlight lens restore kit?

Welcome to the Euro scene, and of course, to the forums

 

The radio code shouldn't be written on the back of the radio. The requirement of using the code to get the radio to work is supposed to be a theft deterrent. It doesn't do any good to give the thieves the code when they steal your radio. Cragman is correct about it being in the manual... There is a card that is supposed to be in your wallet, but most leave it in the book, or write it in the book. If all else fails, you'd have to go get raped at the dealer, and then pay them too, and they should be able to find your code in the system based on your VIN...

BTW... Chip it!!!

And yes, the Euro scene, especially Audi, is a lot different than the Honda scene, especially in this forum. Most of us here like to keep things as close to stock as possible (appearance wise... performance wise, the sky is the limit), while tastefully modding. Body kits and funky paint, flashy wheels (don't call them "rims" here, or be prepared to be flamed), and underglow lighting just really isn't our style...

Welcome to the forums! Glad to have another enthusiasts to join the crew...

 

car looks good. and it does look like the drivers side headlight needs to cleared up. I have the same boost gauge. and i love it. very easy install as well. im a little upset with Podi though, they sent you more stickers. i only got the all black one

 

If u have the title don't worry about the radio code just go with the title to your local audi dealer and ask for it ,they will provide you with the code for free, i did and it works like new

 

u want them ill mail them to you im not much of a sticker ***** ill just keep one
