right, i've spent hours documenting relitively small jobs, so in actual fact by the end of sunday I had refitted both rear doors.
I'd also had chance to tidy and sort my garage, and found loads of spare screws.
To be specific, they really were spare from other stuff, but because I have put this car back together so 'perfectly' I have used more screws and bolts than I had, as originally some were missing.
The result was that the drivers lower dash half couldnt go on at all as all the screws were missing, and I cant begin to count how many screws and bolts David has sent me from a8 parts (big thumbs up, between him and Carl I COULD NOT have done this !!
)
Anyway, tidy of garage yeilded enough spare hardware to get it done, so drivers side lower facia went in, along with carpet trims.
I also managed to get the boot completely sorted.
As the LPG conversion went in before i got the car, I had no chance to work behind it.
I removed the LPG tank a month ago for this project, so I have now sorted the boot carpet, cut it properly to size, retrimmed the boot making sure every faster is in correctly and I've also got the LPG tank back in and piped up, just waiting 10 mins spare to resolder the electrical connections back on to the solenoid and sender unit.
So, whats left to do ?
* LPG electrical
* Door grab trims for passenger and both rear doors
* Fully wet vac the drivers carpet trims (everything else was cleaned and looks fab in comparison)
* Buy some rubber mats so my nice clean Audi ones stay that way
Anything not quite right?
Yes
2 problems have crept out of the woodwork:
1) The passenger seat memory which I wired up blind not 100% understanding its whole workings has one slight mis-wire. The white'/green wire which I wired from the passenger memory buttons to the passenger seat to the drivers seat to the drivers memory buttons, shouldnt have gone to the drivers seat. It does on cars without passenger memory so that memory 4 works, but with passenger memory, button 4 should only do the passenger seat and not the drivers. The (rather amusing) result is that when the passenge does their memory 4, they move the drivers seat
- Easy fix though and I've already broken the connection to the drivers seat so now its behaving properly.
2) The passenger seat goes forward, a lot. I dont think its more than normal, but it goes further than my cabling currently allows. If i move the seat all the way forward, the connector for the passenger seat memory stretches and falls out so memory stops working. Its nothing that extending 10 wires wont fix, but I'm a little tired of soldering this week...
