Another mod that i wanted to do for some time was grill swap for honeycombe 

Here is the link 

Ive used this video as a guide how to take off the bumper . Then swaping the grill was easy enough as its held by few screws

 

And at the end i got a quattro badge from ebay

If you have rear or rear+front pdc then the module is there. Best way to check is via vcds

Another job i had to do is replace the light switch as it wasnt working sometimes. Ive opted out for a facelifted version and manage to get it from aliexpress for £7 :) it was plug&play. It pops out using a long tool, screwdriver inserted from the side opening for fusebox . Unplug the old one and plug in new

At the end just a quick scan and clear the fault

Next mod 2jet windscreen washers swap for spray jets 

Parts required 

First you need spray jets (wv part)
5M0 955 986 (heated) 
5M0 955 985 (not heated ) 

Then adaptors 8E0 955 431(from audi)

To take the old ones out you simply lift the bonnet up. Unclip the old ones carefuly not to brake off the hoses and heating connection 
 

This the diffrence of how they look . Now on top

To make sure new spray jets aim at the windscreen you need to get the opening bigger. There is an adjuster screw next to the spray but it dosent go up enough. So i have filled away about 3mm so it looks like this

Next are the addapters. Old 2 jets are bigger . So adapters are fitted first and then new sprsy jets

Then its connect the hose and electical connectors , push in the spray jet . 

Test and set up the spray and done 

Spray jets costed me £11 on eBay auction and adapters i got from local audi parts £2.80

Here how its look like. Massive improvment

Next job to tacle was satnav on my mmi2g high . Mine wasnt working as the dvd unit failed. Bought one on eBay and it was simple swap . I took the bracket out in the left hand side of the boot out, 4 screws . 

20171102_130955.jpg

Unplugged power fiber and gps antena cable . Unit is held by 2 clips on each side same as a standard stereo. Popped new one in and done. 

20171102_131003.jpg

Also i got new 2017 maps from eBay (2 dvds west and east europe ). Pop in the dvd and instalation process will start automaticly . At the end it will ask you to press return button for reset

20171102_131710.jpg

Important when buying maps for mmi2g high is to make sure you buy maps with TMC for live traffic updates  

20171102_132500.jpg

A while back i did a mmi2g high soft upgrade that is nessesary for the new maps to work. If anyone needs help with this please ask :)
