Mannyo - 2004 D3 3.7 Work in progress

[mannyo]

Now got the replacement dimming mirrors sitting on my desk at work, cannot fit them till the weekend as my car is 150 miles from me.

On the plus side, sorting the alarm for the second time (thanks A8parts), the battery drain appears to have gone so maybe it was siren related.

Slowly ticking off that list?

Well done Manny definitely getting there!

Well done mate, few more boxes ticked and you will have a mint condition D3

[mannyo]

I've got the mirrors fitted now, so I can actually see clearly in the mirrors at last.

Latest update, had to clear the front sunroof drains as they had become blocked which resulted in the headlining inside the car getting a soaking following heavy rain. All sorted now, and the sunroof gullies no longer represent their interpretation of a lake.

Hi Manny - so sorry to hear about your father, but glad you've managed to sort the car as you needed to before taking everyone.

The D3 goes in for its first MOT in my ownership next week, also having a service. Everything appears to be working ok, its the stuff you cannot see as well as the emissions that are always the worry.

My local indy are also going to take a look at and hopefully fix the headlight washer problem which causes it to dump all the screenwash when the headlight washers are used. The fluid dumps from the washer bottle end and not the usual bumper end.

Mileage is displaying exactly 133,000 miles, so I've done just 4K miles in 8 months.

There are still a number of minor outstanding issues, none of which seem to cause any problems.

1) Persistent Battery drain
2) Rear footwell heaters don't work
3) The HVAC flap motor in the engine bay is jammed open (at least its not closed)
4) The intake flaps are seized solid, as a result the linkages are also broken.

Your doing a grand job of sortting her out

Mannyo,

Did you ever find a solution for the component protection with the DSP-Amp?

             Freeze Frame:

I ask because I have the same fault after updating MMI to 5150. Also, I don't know if this is connected to the above, but when listening to any music (radio, AMI, CD) the volume does not lower or raise automatically with background noise. Previous to the update the volume would be adjusted to the background noise. It was a good feature and would like it back somehow.
