New car at my place

[h100vw]

After a frantic trip to Sydney last weekend to look at S3s. There were a few to look at mostly in silver.

Settled on the first one I looked at, which belonged to a guy on Ozaudi, he had bought an S5.

It came with tons of history and had been really well cared for by Grant.

It has a few mods already, APR software, TIP, alloy DV, Sachs HD clutch and RS4 replica wheels.

I drove it home to Adelaide from Sydney without incident. I felt it would be no problem though.

Here's a few pictures because someone will say 'it'!

Found my old numbers plates yesterday while clearing out the garage. Thought I'd see how they looked.

Cheers Jimmy, Was down a back road in Woop Woop Vic and saw the Walsh Rd sign. Had to get pictures. Goodfella said I should have nicked it.

Debbies only complaint the horn beep when you arm the alarm, Looks like I need to read up on how to code that feature out.

Haha, text sucks for sarcasm! What kind of power are we looking at once the CC code is done, taking in the other mods?

Power probably not that different TBH, different delivery. CC are sending me a chip to fit so I can flash it. Need to get it run on the dyno first for comparison purposes.

Love the sign btw...hehe
:nana:

Sydney to Adelaide is a big trip, how long did it take you on the way home?

[goodfella]

I was with Gavin when he was here in Syd to get the S3 and i can vouch that the last owner, Grant, looked after his cars with the upmost care.... I just hope I am in a position to buy his S5 in a few years when he comes to sell that!

[Jmac]

hey Gav easy to code out the beep , Channel 46 for convenience, then adaption, around adaption block 8 or so. Yeah the beep is bloody awful hey.

It won't connect Jimmy, what do you think?

Gavin

[Jmac]

Does it have a factory Radio?????? try address 35 mate

[h100vw]

Yeah, can get into 35 but then you need to know what code to input. VAG-COM comes up with some suggestions but none sound like the one I want. I'll check it again tomorrow.

This should fix it I reckon.

Gavin

[Jmac]

If adaption doesnt work and it requires a recode , when you click on 07 for coding with VCDS it should give all the options in a ghost window mate.
cheers

Still to try that out but it's dark now..... I did get home just in time to fit my Sharan aerial which arrived today from Tim. Thanks if you read this.

Also got 2 sets of dog bone mounts in the package, they'll have to wait for the weekend I think. I have spare std mount from goodfella, so I can try both road and track stiffness mounts.

Awesome, what year model is it Gav? Looks to be in very nice condition.

What happened to the A3? Just read you bought it off Shannons for $1000??

Afraid it's going to be 30 years before the Pentagon will allow public access to those pictures. Unless your Jack Bauer in which case ping me your email Jack and I'll return them straight away. :D
