Default So what did you do to your Audi this Memorial day weekend?

I learned how to take apart my steering wheel and light switch, then how to break my oil pan bolt off, and then how to take apart my light switch again and put it back together right so when my lights are on the dash lights come on too. Not all bad good learning experience, on the fun side I got to put my new to me 17's with my drop my whip looks bad ***. Next week clear corners and then I am down to two known things to fix before regular things pop up. One being my drivers seat switch doesn't go forward and back just all the other options and the heated seat doesn't work. Second my sunroof motor doesn't work either so I need to replace that. I turn the **** but all I hear is click click then nothing happens.Happy Memorial day everyone

Sounds like an educational weekend - get some pics up of your ride I detailed the hell out of mine - I did kind of a quick job on the interior - just vacuumed and wiped everything down, but I went moderately to town on the exterior (wheels, tires, calipers cleaned, car washed, polished, waxed, and reshined with a buffing cloth, plus glass). Came out looking good - I need to get some pics of it before it rains here and ruins all the work I did.

I put gas in the car on Saturday. It wasn't very satisfying or labor intensive.

Gave my little silver pig a bath and made her shiny again:











I know I still have the 4x4 suspension, but the S4 springs will be going on before too long and the lowers will be painted, so that'll handle the off-roader look nicely.

1. Took out windshield washer fluid tank and repaired a slow leak in one of the pumps.
2. Removed ABS control module for inspection (after removing and reinstalling, I no longer have the ABS/Brake lights...... Odd)
3. Changed oil/filter
4. Removed MBC and went back to straight N75 to eliminate my tq. limit exceeded/fuel cut issue

My car saw more action this weekend than its seen altogether in the past 6 months.
